Black Butler season 5 episode 1 recap

Ad

The episode begins with two hunters in Germany chasing after a dog in the woods. One of them feels they shouldn't go as the locals say the place is cursed. However, they go in eventually and confront a strange werewolf-like creature. After returning from the woods, the hunters drop dead, and their faces become swollen and disfigured.

Meanwhile, Ciel Phantomhive receives a letter from the Queen, urging him to investigate a series of deaths in a village in Germany. The Queen mentions how the Government won't inform her about the case. Since she has relatives there, she wants Ciel to look into the matter soon.

Ciel Phantomhive asks Claus to gather information. According to Claus's report, the villagers who have died there have one thing in common: they all ventured into the Werewolf's forest, a local forest which is considered taboo. Ciel doesn't believe in such curses, so he decides to head to Germany.

As such, Ciel, Michaelis Sebastian, and the Phantomhive servants arrive at the outskirts of Nuremberg, Germany. Interestingly, the locals don't want to go to the forest with them. Thus, Sebastian buys a carriage from one of the locals and ventures into the woods. As soon as they go deeper into the forest, Sebastian's compass malfunctions.

Eventually, they detect a village, which looks abandoned. Yet, as soon as Finnian shouts to see if there's anyone, several women surround them. Ciel realizes that the village must be inhabited by women only, as he cannot see any men. The villagers think the intruders have come to harm their liege lord.

At this moment, the liege lord arrives with her butler. The episode introduces Sieglinde Sullivan, the village's lord, and her butler, Wolfram Geizer. At first, Wolfram behaves rather rudely with Sebastian. Sieglinde then says something to his ears and apologizes to Sebastian.

However, she remains quiet at first after seeing Ciel. Sieglinde suggests Ciel and others should spend the night at the Emerald Castle. While following Sieglinde and Wolfram, Ciel looks around the village. He thinks something occult must be happening in the vicinity.
