Highlights from Season 4 Episode 7 of Black Butler: Ciel Phantomhive’s Strategic Moves Help Sapphire Owl Gain an Advantage
The events of the previous episode continue in Black Butler season 4 episode 7, as the Sapphire Owl House faces off against the Green Lion bowlers. Without Sebastian by their side, their orchestra trick is unsuccessful. Ciel Phantomhive takes it upon himself to lead the fight.
At the same time, Michaelis Sebastian rushes towards Weston College’s Headmaster in search of Derrick and the other missing students. Despite reaching the gallery, he is unable to find the man.
After thoroughly examining the area, Sebastian discovers him beneath the gallery, engaged in conversation with a small group of people. He is baffled by how quickly a person can traverse between locations.
Returning to the game, the seventh episode of Black Butler season 4 features the Green Lion house’s batting. Ciel Phantomhive takes the bowling position and despite his lackluster deliveries, the opposing batsmen struggle to hit them.
The episode proceeds to show a brief flashback in which Sebastian suggests to Ciel that they invite Lau to the match. He clarifies that Lau’s attendance in the gallery will prove advantageous against the opposing team, as they will be cut off from the outside world.
It is noteworthy that Sebastian’s strategy proves effective as every batter from the Green Lion team falls for the deception after seeing a crowd of cheerleaders surrounding one particular individual – Lau. In episode 7 of Black Butler season 4, even the captain of the Green team, Herman Greenhill, meets his demise due to this trick.
The Sapphire Owl Sets a Target for the Green House
In the seventh episode of Black Butler season 4, the focus shifts to the Sapphire Owl’s second innings, where Lawrence Bluewer takes the field to bat. What’s intriguing is the way he holds the cricket bat, strategically covering the stumps.
During a flashback, Ciel advises his teammates that they can successfully defend against the Green Lions bowlers by not blindly swinging their bat. He reminds them that the bowlers will target the stumps, so their strategy should be to use their bat as a solid barrier in front of the wicket.
When Lawrence inquires about their chances of scoring runs, Ciel enlightens him about the formidable power of the Green Lion bowlers. Their ability to control the speed of the ball allows them to easily score singles or doubles. This strategy proves to be successful in Black Butler season 4 episode 7, as the Sapphire Owl achieves a respectable score on the scoreboard.
Ciel and Lawrence Bluewer lead Sapphire Owl to a historic victory
Following a strong batting performance, the Sapphire Owl players take to the field to protect their lead. Ciel leads the team’s bowling attack, strategically using bouncers and a close field to take down multiple Green Lion batters.
In the seventh episode of Black Butler season 4, Michaelis Sebastian continues his pursuit of the elusive man. Despite his efforts, the man manages to evade him once again. However, Sebastian’s attention is soon drawn to the Headmaster, who appears on the stairs. In a swift move, Sebastian attempts to catch him from behind, but is left clutching only his clothes as the man mysteriously disappears into thin air.
Despite his growing suspicions about the elusive headmaster, he chooses to return to the ground and wait for the man’s return. In the meantime, the seventh episode of Black Butler season 4 reveals Ciel Phantomhive’s successful trick against the Green Lion batters.
Upon deceiving them with the low-lying balls, the crowd does not take kindly to his cunning tactics. The stadium echoes with the chant of “It’s not cricket”. Just then, Herman Greenhill appears at the ground and demands that everyone cease their actions.
The Prefect acknowledges Ciel’s determination and gestures towards his scarred hands. He recognizes that the boy has put in a lot of effort for the game. He is impressed by the fact that a boy from an unathletic background has gone to great lengths to win the game.
After that, the match continues in Black Butler season 4 episode 7. In an attempt to relieve the pressure, Edward hits a six off Ciel’s last delivery. However, in the following over, Lawrence Bluewer bowls a perfect delivery that results in Edward being dismissed. The ball is bowled with a high trajectory, descending upon the wicket like a hawk swooping down from the sky.
However, this tactic proves ineffective against Herman Greenhill, who swings the bat down from above like a sword and sends the ball flying out of the field. In episode 7 of Black Butler season 4, Ciel encourages his captain to bowl his best ball without any regrets.
Herman adopts a similar approach and attempts to hit the next ball for a six, but his bat accidentally strikes Ciel Phantomhive’s head. The non-striker then attempts to take a single, but Ciel’s quick thinking enables him to throw the ball at the stump and dismiss the batsman.
The referee declares the decision, resulting in the Sapphire Owl’s triumph. As the episode 7 of Black Butler season 4 concludes, the Sapphire Owl joyfully commemorates their win alongside Ciel Phantomhive.
