History NightmareFuel / BlackButler

* Chapter 168: [[spoiler: Sebastien ''forcibly drags Bard back from the afterlife'', against the latter's explicit wishes, smiling all the while like it's the funniest thing in the world.]]

* Just the fact that, while it's for certain that Ciel and Sebastian killed Doll when she charged at them, we don't exactly see just how she died. [[spoiler: And given that Undertaker was actually looking from afar when this happened, it can only be hoped she will not come back as one of his bizarre dolls...]]

* Speaking of extra artworks, one older piece in particular features what looks like Sebastian ''slicing open his own abdomen'' (the blood represented by red flowers), complete with his body greying and an empty expression on his face. Considering how competent and prideful the demon butler is, seeing what looks like him offing (or self-harming) himself is pretty jarring.

* Even the promotional material has a couple examples that artistically reminds the audience what Sebastian will eventually do to Ciel, notably one where Ciel is laid out on a table like a dinner with Sebastian looming over him and another where Ciel looks near lifeless with sausages coming out of his abdomen (like spilled guts) while Sebastian holds his knife and fork with a smile.

* The story of how the P4 killed Derrick. First of all, [[AdultFear his death is covered up and his family thinks he's still alive for a full year after his death.]] Then he gets turned into a zombie[[spoiler: - a semi-intelligent one who can still move normally for a few seconds before it starts eating humans.]] Finally, there's what Derrick himself was dong to deserve his death. Torturing other kids along with his friends, and he even says they do so just to [[ColdBloodedTorture "let off some steam."]]

* Chapter 100 has Wolfram believing to have found Sieglinde after defeating Bard and Snake, but it turns out that it's Ciel dressed up like her and he's about to shoot Wolfram point-blank. It gets worse since it goes into AdultFear territory in that Wolfram could have understandably assumed that Sieglinde was either long gone, being tortured, or murdered at the time.

** Speaking of the infamous scene, just how Sebastian got Beast to go to bed with him can be unsettling to some viewers. They were outside alone at night, he persisted both while she was at a low point and while it was obvious she wanted nothing to do with him, he constrained her to prevent her from attacking (again) or getting away from him while he propositioned her, and then he ''[[BreakThemByTalking emotionally breaks her]]'' until she finally lets him have his way. [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulation and pressuring]] at its finest and darkest, and the overall ambiance of the scene (the anime lovingly adds in creepy background music and makes Sebastian look like an inhuman predator in some shots), his prior "incidents" with Beast (getting too close to her crotch when he needed not to and with 0 consent ''and'' basically calling her a whore afterward because of her outfit, gawking at her half-naked when trapped in the box with Ciel), and Beast's misery and discomfort ''never'' letting up during what little was seen of the sex as well as '''never''' showing real signs of genuinely wanting it did not help at all.

* Near the end of Chapter 32, it seems as though Jumbo took care of Finnian, complete with a [[BoomHeadshot bloodied forehead]]. As soon as he stands back up from the impact, we were then treated with a creepy image of a [[DissonantSerenity smiling Finny]], [[http://www.mangareader.net/102-2045-36/kuroshitsuji/chapter-32.html still with a bleeding forehead.]]
** In the chapter after that, as the circus folk try to infiltrate the mansion, Peter and Wendy try to cut Finnian in half with wire... [[http://www.mangareader.net/102-2048-9/kuroshitsuji/chapter-33.html and Wendy takes a bullet through her head out of nowhere]]. This is our first look at Mey-Rin in her ColdSniper mode, and it's a bit of a shock.

** A special mention goes out to Eric from the "Most Beautiful Death In the World" musical, who ended up going rogue and murdering ''nearly 1000'' innocent women just for the ''chance'' of saving fellow reaper Alan from a fatal curse.

** The cherry on top is Bard putting an end to the CurbStompBattle by getting Beast (and Dagger, who he just killed in front of her) caught in a flour explosion that takes out a good chunk of the Phantomhive Manor. That's...not a pleasant way to die no matter if it was quick or not.

* If one takes the live-action movie as canon, this dark story won't end with Ciel but instead will become an ongoing, if not eternal, curse that will lead to every head of the Phantomhive (or Genpou) family suffering horrifically before selling their soul to Sebastian.

** And, of course, to be fair the troupe were only there in the first place to kidnap either Ciel or any other kid who was on the property, which during that night would have been Elizabeth. If Ciel had not hired servants possessing great battle talents and knowing just what kind of a sick fuck Baron Kelvin is, that night could have still ended very badly.

* Similar to the story it is based on a number of prostitutes are horrifically killed and gruesomely dismembered to the point that Ciel throws up upon finding what's left of the last victim. Oh, and each of them had their wombs ripped out not unlike something out of an occult ritual. The kicker? The women were all killed because they requested abortions due to their profession, and the killer ''was the very person who performed the procedures'' all because she was pissed that she couldn't conceive kids of her own and that the women (or at least one of them) saw children as "a waste". The murderer is also assisted by a ''grim reaper'' of all beings who is not only an all around violent and sadistic person in her own right but also a transwomen who was motivated by her similar jealousy. And the latter ends up getting off (nearly) scotch free after she kills her partner for becoming "too boring" (as in, refusing to kill her nephew because she loves him).

** Let's not forget that, as it turns out, they are all individuals who were DrivenToSuicide that are now forced to take on the role until they can obtain forgiveness. And if they do not pass the training required before stepping onto the field, they are most likely thrown into Hell.

* In general, many of the shinigami shown don't exactly evoke the image of DontFearTheReaper. Their attitudes towards those slated to die seem to range from cold indifference (bordering on LackOfEmpathy to even victim blaming levels) to downright glee for the upcoming death, they are not exactly above toying around with those on the "to die" lists, and then there are those such as Grell and Undertaker who abuse their position and powers to commit atrocities.

** The entirety of the "fight" between the servants and the circus folk is one prolonged bit of horror from the latter's perspective. They are meticulously hunted down and killed, and the servants treat it somewhere between a mundane chore and a sick game, with Finny smiling the entire time and Bardroy making jokes at their quarry's expense. This is a total 180 from how they act in the first season of the anime where they at least seem to show ''some'' remorse in having to kill the intruders.

** Even worse is the "demons seduce then drag humans into darkness" aspect that William brought up. While this does refer to how Beast fell for Sebastian's temptation no matter how she felt about during or after it, another interpretation could be that Sebastian's demonhood allows for him to know exactly how to easily and quickly manipulate his prey to the point it's nearly impossible for the target to reason or refuse an offer, using their own weaknesses no less. And even if there was truly no foul play going on, just remember this was all to gain information and Sebastian most likely had a clue on what was going to happen to Beast a little later....

** And to top it off, remember that, again, '''''Sebastian is a demon.''''' Not only does this throw the whole affair even more (if not definitively) into rape territory given not knowing exactly who/what you're sleeping with is deception which automatically nullifies any kind of consent given, it also raises some questions into what could have happened had Beast managed to survive [[note]] Assuming Sebastian indeed went that far, as heavily implied in the anime.[[/note]]
