Line 93:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The infamous corset scene. Which has popped up in pretty much every version! The manga, the anime, and the (second) ''musical'', of all places.
** Chapter 34 pulled a bit of this too.
* [[Doing In the Scientist]]: {{spoiler|The corpses animated with electricity and brain implants? Really magic.}}
* [[Doing In the Wizard]]: {{spoiler|The village of witches? Really a black research site for the German Army. An attentive reader can figure out the deception very early though.}}
* [[Double Entendre]]: So many. Especially by Sieglinde.
* [[Down to the Last Play]]: Happens in the cricket tournament. Of course. Also played with in another game in the same sub-arc when {{spoiler|the game is supposed to be nowhere near finished, but it's Joanne Harcourt's last throw. He says, "This is the end," and then, to his complete surprise, collapses when the poison a pie he ate earlier takes effect. His team chooses to forfeit the game.}}
* [[Driving Question]]: Who iskilled theCiel's properparents targetand ofwas responsible for what happened to Ciel's revengeafterwards?
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Ciel is quite a bit more immature in the first chapter than he is anywhere else.
** Also, the worst of the [[Anachronism Stew]] in the first few chapters is quietly forgotten with the exception of the telephone and a small reference to the television later on.
Line 169 ⟶ 171:
* [[Please Wake Up]]: Ciel when {{spoiler|Sebastian died, and Ciel kept repeating things like, "Sleeping on the floor doesn't look that comfortable to me," and "Get up". Subverted}} because it ended up being {{spoiler|a fake death, which Ciel was aware of the entire time}}.
** Then Ciel later on in a much darker version when {{spoiler|Sebastian died. Ciel first behaved like in the previous case but when Sebastian stayed dead, Ciel showed himself overwhelmed by grief. Subverted again, as it was a fake death again and Ciel was aware of it the entire time again. The emotional outburst shows his skills as an actor.}}
* [[Rock Me, Asmodeus]]: Sebastian's performance training for Phantom Five produces anachronistic and demonically-tinted results. Manga pages are mute, but the band really seems to be playing rock.
** Sebastian himself is only seen playing the violin, which comes from older stories about the Devil. Sebastian's violin lessons for Ciel involve the likes of Bach.
* [[Running Gag]]: Sebastian and his obsession with cats. And then, Ciel's (both hateful and allergic) reactions to said cats.
* [[Scooby-Doo Hoax]]: A [[Complexity Addiction|very elaborate one]] in one arc.
