** A side note for Maurice, it's entirely possible that he could have pulled something similar (potentially including gang rape) to other students that found themselves on his bad side and weren't as skilled/lucky as Ciel.

* The live action movie provided some heavy things but nothing more fridge horror-y than this: [[spoiler: In the beginning, we're introduced to a boy named Kiyoharu Genpo and since trailers spoil, we're aware that Kiyoharu is actually a girl named Shiori whose parents were murdered in front of her when she was seven and she was kidnapped and tortured until she sold her soul to a demon named Sebastian and came back with him as a boy named Kiyoharu six months later. Ten years later, she's inherited the Genpo estate and Funtom Corporation...huh. Later on, her family history is shared and it's shown that a man named Ernest, Earl of Phantomhive moved to Japan allegedly due to being the Queen's Watchdog and spy and brought his company and wealth with him but he changed his last name to Genpo. So now it shows that Shiori is related to Ciel Phantomhive and Elizabeth. But then it's also shared in the climax that the Genpo/Phantomhive family has always had a curse where the Head would always serve the Queen as her Watchdog and somehow, they'd sell their soul to a demon...as far as the manga's shared, Ciel was the first to do that, which implies he started the curse. Even more so the fact that the first demon was Sebastian and Sebastian is now Shiori's butler, which implies that Sebastian has been the demon that was summoned every time the head of the family wanted to sell their soul... I'm guessing Ciel's soul was just that tasty?]]

* If one really stops to think about it...Sebastian himself might as well be an entire iceberg of FridgeHorror. It's unknown how old he is or what his origins are, but at the very least he's a demon who is older than any human alive and Ciel is most likely not his first contract. What kind of depraved shit did Sebastian do in his lifetime in the name of ruining and devouring souls, especially if doing so before developing the NobleDemon aesthetic he has now? What types of masters did Sebastian serve under, and what were the consequences (aside from soul devouring) for the masters and anyone else who happened to be in the line of fire? Considering what has been seen from Sebastian, especially during his worst moments, the list can be quite long and horrifying.

* Mix of FridgeBrilliance and FridgeHorror, but [[spoiler: Derrick biting Greenhill]] is really meaningful. Considering that Greenhill was [[spoiler: who delivered the killer blow, that the bite was in Greenhill's good arm and that Derrick was one of the most perfect bizarre dolls, is very possible that [[BestServedCold he was fully aware of what he was doing.]]]]

** Also, her knowledge about sex and going as far as to think all men were lustful (hence trying to gain Ciel and Sebastian's trust via threesome proposition/thinking it appropriate to ask Sebastian for "DNA"). Her life [[spoiler: has been carefully controlled for years]] so she had to of read those "books" with the knowledge and consent [[spoiler: of the people in charge]]. ''Why'' would they want her knowing about ''that''? And the reason for binding her feet? [[spoiler: They did it for avoid her escaping if she discovered the truth.]]

* Ciel's HeroicBSOD in chapter 90 was entirely caused by the rough treatment he received from Sebastian as part of the "cure" for the "curse." He was stripped naked, held underwater by a naked adult until he started to drown, and then force fed and made to vomit repeatedly. Is it any wonder that he didn't want Sebastian near him after that, especially with how it mirrored the month he spent captive? And the worst part was that the "curse" was actually just mustard gas, and the "cure" might have been completely useless and traumatized him meaninglessly. WordOfGod says that Sebastian doesn't really think about his actions and just uses brute force, and boy does it show here.

* All those times Sebastian has smiled after getting closer to Ciel, usually during what seems to be a cute bonding moment? ''That's the smile of a predator who has gotten his prey to let its guard down around him that much more.'' All those times he pressed Ciel for stories of his childhood or his health history? ''He's not being friendly or a good butler, he's looking for more weak points to later exploit in his quest to further Ciel's path to despair.''

** Suicide also isn't always on purpose as there have been ''many'' cases of AccidentalSuicide. Given [[CrapsackWorld the setting,]] it wouldn't be far fetched that no exception is made for these cases. The same can also possibly be said for those who perform a HeroicSuicide or choose suicide via MercyKill (i.e. euthanasia).
