Black Butler II/Headscratchers

Dead People Not Staying Dead?

 * Maybe I'm just stupid, but didn't a few of the characters die or were implied to be dead in the first season? Those characters are back in the second season.
 * Probably because the show would be rather bleak without those characters,.
 * This might be more appropriate for the WMG page, but it looks like it's some sort of alternate timeline or something, as of episode 3.
 * As it turns out . Whether this can be seen as a Retcon or not is debatable.

The Rules of the Contract with Claude

 * Season 2, episode 8. Claude ...How?! Aren't they under a Magically-Binding Contract?
 * Actually...
 * But was that really the point of the contract? I thought that his goal was to.
 * Technically, demons only follow orders because its their aesthetics (or so Sebastian says). So if Claude really wanted to, he could disobey Alois's orders.

On Goodbyes

 * Speaking of death, why were only select characters given, and not everyone (like the housekeepers). Seems like a huge Plot Hole, should they run into each other.
 * Maybe just doesn't care if  gets into embarrassing situations.

Why did Claude do a nasty thing, and what was that other stuff about?

 * Why did Claude Also, what was the point of episode 2 & 3? They were supposed to be very relevant to the ending of the story but were they really? Even after the finale they still come off as Fillers.
 * Well if you paid attention to the lines more you would have noticed that the lady said  Hint: Golden. I have nothing to add about the relevance of 2 I'm lost as to why that's even there.

Claude Tapdancing

 * I know it's meant to be impressive and it's supposed to show us that he's just as cool as Sebby, but why did Claude feel the sudden urge to tap dance before redecorating the mansion? I mean yeah, it's cool that he can do that without falling, but WHY? It just made me giggle a little.
 * I'd like to know too. I can only think that it's some sort of powering-up ritual? It just looks silly. Claude lost points from me for that.
 * I think it might be a Shout-Out to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In the movie, Ron wakes up in the middle of a nightmare and says he dreamt of spiders and tap dancing.

A Jerk Move?

 * Not so much a complaint about the anime or its ending, because I thought the ending was great. But I hate  now. I mean,   And the look on   face at the end is heartbreaking. It just irritates me a little that   pulled something like that.
 * didn't "pull something like that."
 * And this troper feels really bad for  for it. All that work and humiliation, for nothing,
 * Sebastian is a murderous demon who was playing with Ceil like a cat might play with a mouse before eating it. He would eventually go on to devour the souls of many more people. And you feel sorry for him? Once you take a step back from the emotions of the anime, you start to realize Sebastian kinda got what he deserved.
 * So is a Karma Houdini.  That's what I dislike about the ending.
 * My impression was that actually felt bad about it. As soon as he found out that  He also seemed sad during  I really don't think he wanted this.

Sebastian Doomed?

 * At the end of season 2 of the anime, . Does this mean that Sebastian will never be able to Maybe I'm just missing something.
 * I haven't read the manga, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but
 * Logical, although then why would Sebby be after Ciel's soul in the first place?
 * Because he's evil and it's tasty.
 * Then why does Angela say in episode 20?
 * I suppose it's similar to having chips even if you aren't hungry; they're simply delicious.
 * Angela is bat-shit insane. I wouldn't listen to anything coming from her.
 * The contract prevents Sebastian from failing Ciel in any way, right? (I've never really been 100% sure how that works, but I thought that the implication was that even if it's something Sebastian wouldn't be able to do normally, the contract would make it happen because he HAD to do it. Anyway, by dying he would technically "escape" the contract, wouldn't he? So I've just been assuming the contract would keep him from dying of starvation from not eating any souls in order to make sure he was stuck with Ciel forever.

The Point of Ciel's Message

 * At the end of season two, when Ciel, why was it necessary for him to send Sebastian to tell everyone ?
 * Because

On Potential Sword Nicks

 * Hannah's sword is lethal. So why does she store it  ? Isn't she afraid of ?

Ciel, Aged 13?

 * Why did  in the last episode of season 2 say he was 13? Season 2's storyline is supposed to be set a year and 3 months after the first season's end, so he should be 14. Did the animation team just forget that or did I miss something?
 * I don't think it took place one year and three months after season 1. Yes, it was one year and three months for us viewers but season 2 takes place right after the final episode I think.
 * If you look on the Kuroshitsuji wiki here (scroll down to "Plot"), it says that Kuroshitsuji II takes place 1 year and 3 months after Kuroshitsuji. Kuroshitsuji II aired 6 months after Kuroshitsuji had finished, not a year and 3 months.
 * It's a translation error. The Other Wiki says that Kuroshitsuji ended March 26, 2009 and that Kuro II started July 1, 2010. Also Yana Toboso herself said: "1 year and 3 months have passed since the first TV anime finished" on her blog (look under "Everything for the sake of that person").
 * So what? Wasn't Ciel  at the end of the first season? That would have been his first official death.   (Do I really need spoiler tags for that?)

Something So Big, Forgotten Already?

 * So at the end of the first season, . So in the second season, how is everything back to normal so fast? It's only been a few months since the end of season 1! Not too mention nobody, not even most of the main cast, seems to act like it never existed. Let alone the extras.
 * Keep calm and carry on?
