Kuroshitsuji II episode 8: NOW everything makes sense!

X_X Wtf people. WTF indeed.

Photobucket

See? Lots of WTFness.

This week on Kuroshitsuji is WTF. I was going to wait until a copy came out that didn’t make me even more dizzy. But I bit the bullet and watched the crazy looking episode anyway. WTF indeed.

I seriously am warning for stuff in this episode. Child death, child rape, child crazy times. Yeah this episode might be a bit too much for some people. Seriously warning you before you read my post or watch the episode. Nothing graphic but still.

Also I kinda suck and don't know is Alois's or Alois' is correct. I fail. Sorry.

How about we not think about Ciel Claude?

Episode Summary: Alois has survived the stabbing from episode 7. He keeps thinking about how Claude was looking at Ciel in that moment though. He sends Hanna away (rather roughly of course) so Claude can change his wrappings. Only when Claude comes in he goes on and on about how awesome Ciel was when he stabbed Alois. Needless to say Alois is not happy. So Alois goes and flops on Hanna and demands that she take him to see Ciel. He is crying while asking her so she is touched by this. The Awesome butler Trio go whisper to Claude what Alois is doing. Claude was in the midst of making a secret message into a paper ring but is generally not pleased that Alois has left. While Hanna is racing to take him to see Ciel Alois (who is slowly bleeding to death) thinks back to his past.

The moment Claude wanted Alois's soul.

His parents died when he was really young and left him and his brother all alone. The villagers were not kind to them to say the least and Alois’s personality is warped by their words. They become little thieves and Alois dreams of everyone dying one day woohoo. Only that wish comes true and the boys stumble on the village full of dead people. Alois is thrilled and starts stealing. But someone kills his little brother and Alois loses his mind. He and other orphan boys are kidnapped and sold to pedophile Trancy. At first the Earl rejects Alois as he has evil eyes. But after hearing one of the boys talk about wishes Alois contacts Claude. He actually can’t think of a wish so Claude says they will make a contract when he thinks of one. Over time Claude tells Alois it was Sebastian who killed his brother. Alois then gets it in his mind that if he kills the most important thing to Sebastian (Ciel) that will be the perfect revenge. That makes Claude interested in Alois. Alois then “seduces” the Earl of GROSS EVIL RAPING BOYS LAND and takes over when he does so he is in power and blah blah.

Despite being a killer Grell isn't that scary....

Back in the carriage…well it crashes as Grell has showed up. Turns out Alois is going to die from his wounds tonight and Grell is here to collect. Hanna fights Grell as Alois crawls away. He thinks back to his time with Claude, how he mistreated him but Claude never left his side until now. Right before Alois is nommed by a wolf Claude rescues Alois. This reaffirms that Alois is important to Claude and he tells him how he really sees him, as the important person in his life. So Claude KILLS ALOIS because that is the wrong answer. Grell acts weird and bounces off. Claude plays around with words saying he did fulfill Alois’s contract. Hanna comes over and flops over Alois and pokes out his eye while saying she will grant his wish. THE END!

See people. WTF all over the place.

Photobucket

BAWWWWL PEOPLE! Cry all over the couch over here.

Also DAMN YOU EPISODE! I wanted to ride the I hate Alois train all the way to the station (the end of the season). But nooooooooooooooo Alois has to actually be a poor defenseless kid who is in serious need of a hug. DAMN IT!!!

Of course….all along we knew that Alois was raped. But it was semi-implied that Ciel was raped to and he didn’t go around stabbing people in the eye and losing his mind. However now I am starting to believe that Ciel is the weird one and not Alois. I do think that people are responsible for their actions and just because YOU are abused does not mean you become an abuser yourself. It sucks and someone should have rescued you but it doesn’t mean you get a Get out of Jail free card to do it to someone else.

Photobucket

I guess Claude put him out of his misery?

However….dude. Alois had a really, really shitty past. And I will call him Alois and not Jim. Turns out he is not a Trancy child who was kidnapped at a young age. Or maybe he was. But that is not important. The parents he knew died. The villagers treated him and his brother like crap and forced them to become thieves. They turned Alois into a crazy person by proving to him all humans were scum (in Alois’s mind). And just when Alois thought the evil villagers were dead his brother is killed as well. Alois is then sold to a pedophile only to be passed up because he has evil eyes. He can’t even make a pact with a demon because he has no wish what so ever in life. But haha then he is raped by the old dude and made his “son”.

Wonderful right? I would be a crazy person myself!

Photobucket

And that is as close as I am getting to the rape scenes people.

Of course one could argue that Alois decided to be rape. Even if that makes sense. But Alois had an idea in mind and for that to happen he had to get close to that disgusting slim ball AKA the rape. BUT IT WAS DISGUSTING AND GROSS AND ALOIS SHOULDN’T HAVE THE DECISION TO DECIDE TO GET RAPED! This line of thinking is grossing me out so I am leaving this paragraph.

Photobucket

Although I might not want to ask a wish from a spider either....

I think it is super sad that Alois couldn’t even think of a wish to ask from demon Claude. I mean he had no one to blame for his situation (at that time). That is truly pathetic and for a second I wanted to hold that broken boy tight. Also Alois has a bit of a redeeming factor by allowing all the other boys to go free. Ciel is always seen as the person who cares for people deep down but Alois has sympathy for the people in the same situation as him. So yeah Alois had a bit of human in him. Curses.

Photobucket

Pure and utter crap.

Regardless of if those were his real parents or not (I think they were) the way Alois’s life was up until his brother’s life was crap. It seems to be a common theme in this show to have dead parents and lots of orphans. And I guess if times are tough it is hard to take in other people’s kids. And if people did take in orphans it would be just for labor. So while Alois was well on his way to crazy land before his brother died it wasn’t his fault. Being spit on, treated like dirt, and basically being told his life was worthless really made him into the person he is today. Or was. X_X

Photobucket

Of course this might come across as a little insane...

I don’t think said little brother was crazy. Not sure about the your highness part but I think he was really sane. As sane as possible anyway. He just wanted to be with his brother and copy him. The dancing around, wishing that everyone was dead was just to be closer to his brother. He looked to him for social cues and took from that.

Photobucket

The icing on the shit cake that is Alois's life.

Although I do want to know why Sebastian killed the brother. Well I guess the better question is why did Sebastian’s previous master wanted that village destroyed. That would be Alois’s true enemy but Sebastian already ate him. So we might not ever get that answer. So I want to know why Sebastian killed the kid after the fact. Was it to the lay the ground for Ciel to have an enemy in the future? Really I want to know!

Photobucket

Who the hell contracted Claude last time?!

So Alois’s life sucked and now we know why Alois wants Ciel. Killing Sebastian would do nothing in Alois’s mind. He wants Sebastian to suffer the way he has and the best way to do that is to take away his most tasty treat. So Alois really doesn’t hate Ciel. It explains why last episode Alois tried to warn Ciel about Sebastian. He may see Ciel as himself, a victim in a world of adults. So none of this is personal and Alois is treating Ciel like normal only Alois normal is crazy land. It all makes sense because Alois is insane. Thank goodness.

Photobucket

And why did Hanna want to help him?! X_X

I don’t know why Alois wanted to see Ciel. Maybe Alois finally did his one last snap. He thought MAYBE Claude cared about him on some level. Even if it was to eat his soul Alois thought that he could count on Claude to protect him long enough to get his revenge. So last episode when Claude gave him that “you look like dog shit look” Alois’s world collapsed. So now he might have a personal reason to hate Ciel as Ciel has taken the one thing he had left in this world.

Photobucket

This seems to be where Alois changes his wish and why Claude is able to kill him. The wish is no longer to get revenge but to be with Claude.

Not that it matters as Grell stopped the carriage and fought with Hanna. Who is a demon of course. Poor Alois couldn’t even get his lame revenge on Ciel without Grell trying to kill him. Which means Claude is dumb. He promised Sebastian that he would make Alois the key to Ciel’s revenge. That can’t happen if Alois is dead. So Claude really should have tried his best to patch Alois up. But he didn’t and Alois was scheduled to die that night. So you suck Claude.

Photobucket

FUCK YOU CLAUDE!

And then Claude sucks even more. He rescues Alois from the wolf and for a moment Alois is happy. Maybe Claude does care about him and his melodramatic I am going to see Ciel worked on him, I am important again. He even tells Claude he is the Lord, the important one. And Alois is rewarded by having his head crushed in. Or something. Something happened to Alois and he is dead and Claude killed him. And my heart broke for that little kid. The one thing he had left in the world killed him because Ciel, the person Claude helped to paint as his revenge point, is more important to him and he is going to die a nobody like everyone said he was going to.

SADNESS FILLS MY HEART.

Photobucket

So Alois's life depends on the person he treated the worse. Awesome.

But maybe Alois is not dead. Hanna did some weird…..weird thing to him. Maybe she was poking her eye out in revenge for her lost eye and she was in fact going to use his eye in her socket. Or maybe she really does care for him and Claude will be brought back to life. I don’t know people.

So…wtf people. What will happen next episode?!?! XO It is only episode 8 and already it is this much WTFNESS. Just…..X_Z someone rescue these two boys they are completely being used by these hot demon people.

Hanna is a fucking bitch

Anonymous- Sadly Hanna is the only person on Alois's side right now. If he isn't dead. And if she really isn't a bitch and using him too...

Hey, I owe you a comment b/c I was Anonymous who posted on last week's UraBoku review that you should watch Kuroshitsuji ep.7 ASAP, and then I didn't even post on yr ep.7 page (uhh, got that?)...

Anyway, yeah, WTF? Nice post since that's alot of summarizing of a disturbing episode. Not sure if I feel bad for Alois! If I do, I am being manipulated by the writers! Also, not sure Claude changed the contract when he killed Al, since Alois'/Alois's :) soul is likely in the red ring? Like Ciel's, ep.1? So *technically* Claude can still work on getting Ciel for Alois, maybe a Alois-possession of Ciel's body? And then Alois-possessed Ciel can try to rape Meirin and she can kick the crap out of him? And we can be like, WTF, again and again every week? How many episodes are there in this season anyway?!

Anonymous- I have absolutely no idea where they are heading on this crazy train.

Oh shit according to Wiki we only have 12 episodes?!?!? XO Well I guess that explains the fast pace nature of the insanity.

And yeah I was totally manipulated to feel bad for Alois. Maybe if he was more caring to the people around him (like Ceil) then I could completely feel bad for him. But even his demon butler turned on him so I am so sad for him. :(

Really Ceil and Alois need to run off and leave these freaks behind. Run an orphanage for equally abused kids. Get Alois some counseling. And then season three can be the yaoi season when they are 16. XD

Anonymous said...

Yay, yaoi. Boo, yaoi with alois. Sorry, IMO he's icky. But maybe he can run that orphanage with some monks or nuns and cool his jets -- he's way too oversexed. Besides, Ciel could do better.

Anonymous said...

Also, 12 eps? 12? Lame...

Christina, in spite of what you wrote, I think you have a special place in yr heart for Claude -- look at yr screengrabs! Claude looking wistful at Alois' bedside, Claude looking wistful on a overcast day, Claude looking wistful in a drum major uniform. I didn't notice any of all that wist-ness when I watched the episode! :)

-K8

Christina said...

Kate- Well...maybe I expect more out of Claude. I was thinking MAYBE he actually cares about this kid. But now he has done broke my heart. How dare he actually act like the soul sucking demon he is.

And yes drum major uniform indeed.

Maybe in 4 years Alois will be less yucky. And oversexed. I don't want him hurting my Ceil. Maybe Ceil can run the orphanage while Alois gets super duper awesome counseling. :( Just don't die poor scarred boys who no one loves (except maybe the freaks Elizabeth and Hanna).

And 12 episodes is very disappointing indeed. :(

Anonymous said...

OMG Elizabeth >:( DGMS!

Christina said...

Anonymous- You mean you don't think Elizabeth is full of light and love and deserves to be with Ceil? XD

I think that would make sense, that 12 episodes are going to be the Alois arc and 12 episodes will be for the circus arc I keep hearing about. However...I wonder how that will happen if Ceil's "revenge" is dead.

Hi! I just wanted to tell you that I think your blog is hilarious. I stumbled across it by typing "Kuroshitsuju II episode 2 wtf" into google because all I could think of after that episode was "WTF?". I was so glad that I wasn't the only one thinking that!

Christina said...

Anonymous- XD I love it when people stumble upon my blog, makes me happy inside.

And yes this entire season has been one long line of WTF. Recently it has started making sense but then you are left feeling okay WTF is going to happen next.

But no more white deer things hopefully.

Sebastian did NOT kill Alois' brother Luka or burn down the village and killed those people. It was Hannah Annafellows (or Anafeloz). She's another demon who granted Luka's wish to have everyone die, so as to make his beloved older brother happy. Hannah is revealed to have fell in love with Luka b/c he was the only person who had been grateful to her for his wish. He grew on her b/c of his single-minded loyalty to his brother. But even though she loved him, all she felt she could do for him was to grant his wish, even if that meant eating his soul as well. After she devoured him, she began to take up some of his tendecies (like wanting to always be around Alois and making him happy. Leading up to her being Alois' maid whom, when we first meet her, he beats and abuses constantly.

Christina said...

Sk8terGaMer89- I think it is pretty clear that everyone in this show is messed up one way or another. XD If I loved someone I would KEEP them from making a wish with me if the ending factor is I eat their soul. XD Poor Hanna. At least it explains why she takes so much abuse from Alois. Because she is crazy.
