Black Butler season 5 episode 7: Sieglinde Sullivan discovers the truth
After Sieglinde accepts Ciel and Sebastian's proposal, the duo takes her to the Emerald Castle's basement. They assure the girl that they are, indeed, guiding her to the outside world. In the basement, Sebastian comments that an Emerald witch's duty is to create the magic circle.
At this moment, Black Butler season 5 episode 7 shifts the focus to Sieglinde Sullivan, who comments on the discourse about the Werewolves and miasma. She explains that the Werewolves are clad in miasma, which is an evil magic that harms humans.
According to Sieglinde, miasma was present in the atmosphere in great quantities, and it proved harmful for humans in the past. On the contrary, it was like an elixir for the magical beasts. Hence, when human beings prospered, the sacred magic was lost. Eventually, the werewolves and the witches lost their abilities.
That's why the werewolves urged the Witches to create a source of miasma. In exchange, they promised to protect the forest, which is now known as the Werewolves' Forest. Therefore, the witches before Sieglinde Sullivan extensively researched and found a formula to create the lost Miasma.
Interestingly, Sieglinde used the formula to create the Ultimate Magic that can endlessly produce Miasma with massive density. Sebastian Michaelis then comments that it's the history that Sieglinde Sullivan has been taught. The demon butler then moves toward the altar in the center of the circle and unveils a hidden lever. As soon as he pulls the lever, a secret passageway is revealed behind the wall.
Much to Sieglinde's astonishment, Sebastian calls it the actual "outside world." He wonders whether Sieglinde is ready to see the truth. The girl replies that she won't turn back. As they enter the hidden chamber, they notice an elevator. Using the elevator, they descend to B4 and discover a room filled with gadgets, monitors, and radars.
Interestingly, the monitors show the map of the Wolfsschulcht village and track the villagers' current positions via the amulets. According to Black Butler season 5 episode 7, the amulets are actually transmitters. Sieglinde Sullivan is flabbergasted. However, Sebastian tells her to be silent. Following this, they move to another floor, which is a lab that specializes in manufacturing chemicals.
At this moment, in Black Butler season 5 episode 7, they hear a noise and find the village crone holding an assembly with the Werewolves. The village crone mentions that Sieglinde has finally done her job. She adds that the Miasma Sieglinde has produced will change history.
Meanwhile, Sieglinde demands an explanation from the village cone. Just then, the Werewolves stationed in the room rush to her. Interestingly, Sebastian slices a werewolf costume to expose a man inside. According to Black Butler season 5 episode 7, the Werewolves are actually normal human beings in costumes, and the Miasma is a chemical weapon constructed by the factory.
In other words, miasma is a poisonous gas. Ciel reveals that the whole discourse on the werewolves and the curses was a lie fed to Sieglinde. The Emerald Witch is stunned in shock, as she can't believe the reality of the situation. Meanwhile, the village crone admits that Sieglinde has made the most powerful poisonous gas in history, and calls it "SuLIN."
