(I suppose this trope doesn't fit after all. It's not "Death by Woman Divorced".)

'''''KuroshitsujiBlack Butler''''' is a 2014 Japanese movie [[In Name Only|very loosely based]] on the [[Black Butler (manga)|manga of the same name (also known as ''[[Black Butler]]'' in English).
 
In near-future Asia, Earl Shiori Genpou is a girl who has made a contract for her soul with the demon Sebastian. Shiori is pretending to be a boy called Kiyoharu because of a tradition that only a man can inherit the prosperious family business Funtom Co. Ltd. (There is no explanation for how this kind of rule is legal.) Shiori, who lives in the East, also in secret holds the position of the Queen's Watchdog, doing covert missions for the Queen of the West, whose name is never mentioned. (The world is divided into two blocs called East and West, which makes things simple to understand, but turns out to be irrelevant as far as the rest of the movie is concerned.)

{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Name Change]]: Only two characters retain their names, but of the rest only Mey-rin -> Lin is really reasonably similar enough to fit this trope.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Kujo.
* [[Battle Butler]]: Sebastian.
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Shiori.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Shiori's manor.
* {{spoiler|[[Bomb Disposal]]: {{spoiler|Shiori solves the time bomb's PIN with only a few seconds remaining. This allows her to pick up the explosive part and throw it to the sea to explode without the chemical component.}}
* [[Bridal Carry]]: Sebastian carries first the injured Lin, then the injured Shiori.
* [[Candlelit Bath]]: In a flashback Hanae takes one {{spoiler|while Shiori's parents are getting murdered on her orders.}}
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* [[Police Are Useless]]
* [[Sequel Hook]]: The evil conspiracy is still there. Not that there will be a sequel.
* [[Tainted Veins]]: The initial effect of Necrosis.
* [[Technicolor Toxin]]: {{spoiler|Necrosis is yellow.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Terrorist Without a Cause]]: We never learn what, if anything, {{spoiler|Hanae}} was trying to accomplish.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Time Bomb]]: It even has a digital countdown.}}
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: There are [[Holographic Terminal|Holographic Terminals]] and the wind power takeup has apparently increased, but otherwise everything looks like it could be contemporary. However, there looks to have been a major political realignment at some point.
