The much-anticipated Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc anime officially concluded its run on June 28, 2025. The fifth season of the popular Black Butler series, which premiered on April 5, 2025, adapted the manga’s eighth story arc, delving into the mysteries surrounding the Emerald Witch.
The Emerald Witch Arc followed Ciel Phantomhive and his demon butler Sebastian Michaelis as they journeyed to Germany at the Queen’s behest to investigate mysterious deaths in the “Werewolves’ Forest.” The season explored the unsettling truth behind the supposed curse and introduced new characters, notably Sieglinde Sullivan, the titular Emerald Witch, a child prodigy in chemistry.
The anime, produced by CloverWorks and directed by Kenjirou Okada, was streamed globally by Crunchyroll. The final episode, marking the season finale, aired on June 28, 2025. While this arc has concluded, previous seasons have often teased future installments, and the Black Butler manga itself has a long-running narrative.
