| To facilitate the extensive process of revising all articles in Kuroshitsuji Wiki, we will focus on one aspect at a time. We will focus on the manga and all elements associated with it (i.e. characters and chapters). This template is to serve as a warning: pages/sections marked with this template, ranging from the anime characters, episodes, OVAs, musicals, songs, and out-of-the-universe information, will not be our priority; thus, they may not be up-to-date, substantiated, or thoroughly cleaned as of yet. |
The Story of Will the Reaper is the sixth OVA in the Kuroshitsuji series.
Summary
William and Grelle are in charge of coaching new Grim Reaper students. Grelle recalls the past, the time that she saved William. But William responds that the time he was saved by Grelle is only a dirty memory in his life.
Grelle complains about the fact that she is partnered with a student she deems inferior.
William, then, remembers when he was a student and was underestimated by Grelle. Grelle had higher grades than William, and she did not want William to be her partner. Despite the humiliation William had felt, he respected Grelle and expected that they would work together.
One day, William and Grelle's mission is to reap the soul of Thomas Wallis, whose dream is to be a great novelist. Grelle seems to be arrogant when it comes to the task. She beats up William after becoming annoyed with him but soon stops to focus on the mission at hand. They observe Thomas, and she is excited for them to make a move. William decides to introduce himself to Thomas and comments about the latter's novel. Thomas later notices Grelle's Death Scythe. Instead of hiding the fact they are Grim Reapers, William explains that he is a Grim Reaper and that Thomas is about to die. Thomas thinks William and Grelle are stage actors who are promoting some kind of performance. Grelle tells him to shut up, but Thomas says he has never seen a man as beautiful as her. Grelle blushes and claims that she is an actor. Because of that, Thomas hatches an idea and writes a novel titled "The Tale of Will the Reaper." William praises his stories, and Grelle remarks that they are not bad at all. When Thomas's death is about to transpire, Grelle wants him to live and calls the dispatch society, but William refuses. A fight between them ensues. This time, Grelle loses as she realizes she has feelings for William. William tells her that the destiny of a person will never change.
Thomas' memories are coming inside of William.
Meanwhile, Thomas is running, and he gets hit by a carriage. William appears and stabs Thomas in the stomach with his Death Scythe and collects his Cinematic Records. Suddenly, the Cinematic Records go berserk, and William's glasses are knocked off. The memories then enter William's body. William cries after viewing Thomas's memories, but Grelle saves him and advises him to take care of his glasses.
The two work together as partners in order to reap all of Thomas's Cinematic Records. After finishing this task, Grelle tells William that the other Grim Reaper students are also having trouble with the Cinematic Records. Later on, having accomplished their mission, Grelle and William officially get their new glasses from Lawrence Anderson, as a sign of being professional Grim Reapers.

"The novice reaper-era Grelle has a deepish voice. The reason is that [she] hasn't fully come out... but [she] isn't hiding it either. In a way, it's a "grey zone" era LOL. RT: It's started!"
