| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yet another spectacular episode. Marie and Crona in action. Justin in action. Black Star clearing a path to Arachne. And right at the very end, Maka in action and very, very serious about it. |
| Whoa! Pretty intense, gotta love Medusa. She pawns everyone as always XD Anyways, finally got to see what's Marie's hammer form is like (suprisingly, it's first shown here) Stein is deff much better as a villain, he looks so convincing & his insanity is a perfect match too. Glad to see some Chrona screen time & finally got the chance to fight Medusa as well. Lastly, Maka for the save at the last moment & that's to be expected already =3 Next epi... just look at the preview XP |
     |
| Am I the only one pissed about Maka butting in? I mean, we already know she is going to defeat the Kishin, but does she has to defeat Medusa, too? I really hoped Crona would get his/her revenge. Oh yeah, and Marie is awesome when in action. |

If you look closely & compared it to the manga, Maka's personality in the anime is somewhat weaker & very emotional to the point of being annoying but in the manga she's more spirited & takes matter in her own hands. Well, I still liked her a lot but not in the anime version though =3 Anyway, Psycho Stein ftw~ XD |

| That was a really good episode. :) I love Marie...! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| For being so determined the past few episodes to finally settle things with Medusa, Crona sure did get tossed around. |
| It seems like every week a struggle. Honestly... Any subs released for this episode yet that anyone knows of? |
Mitsukai- said: It seems like every week a struggle. Honestly... Any subs released for this episode yet that anyone knows of? Tsubaki-Hatsuyuki released it about 6 hours ago. As for the episode, it was pretty good. Serious Maka is cool! =P |
| Omg what a cliffhanger xD |
I'd rather know the group. |
  |
| Good episode. Medusa talking down to anyone always makes me happy. I'm interested to know what's so special about Marie. Chrona being a pussy still sucks though, but I'm glad Maka came in and saved the day. |
| great episode |
- Signature Removed - The signature seriously lacked "It's a Sony" qualities. |
| Lol, follow the sings to get to Medusa's Place. XP And Marie sensei following them XD Quite an astonishing episode, a lot of figths. Sent with Mal Updater |
   |
| So after getting their asses handed to them seems that Maka has come to save the day. |
| Extremely boring episode with loads of talks, recaps and still indecisive and weak characters. Thanks God Medusa was here to beat the crap out of the Shibusen gang. I'm still amazed by the fact they want to kill Medusa who has been virtually inactive, rather than Arachne and the Kishin who are on the verge of destroying the world. It just totally confuses me how disorganized this scenario can be. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I really liked the episode, but Maka pissed me off. If Medusa ends up being defeated by Maka I'll be...ugh. I just hate when the main character always gets to defeat everyone and everything. As long as, say, Maka and Chrona team up I won't be upset, and I think that's going to happen from the preview so, good on that. I have to agree with what someone said (too lazy to quote - w-;;) Stein makes a great villain, I would probably love him even more if he was just always a villain. Marie was pretty epic, but I wish she had done more, she kind of went from looking really powerful to seeming weak in the end. And Justin, I just love him, no emotions, no expression, just wipes the little bit of blood away, I think seeing him fight was the most entertaining part of the episode for me. Black Star...uh, he was there. Yeah, typical Black Star stuff, still waiting for him to fight Mifune. Oh and was I the only one who loved the background music when Marie and Chrona first met up with Medusa and Stein (and thought it sound Batman-esque)? |
| did medusa call crona a girl at 15:24? if that's true then as far as i know, that's the first time we get a confirmation on crona's gender =.=. |

| Evil Stein is awesome....though I really wish Medusa would hurry up and die she is really starting to get annoying, seeing Marie and Crona in action was sweet though. I really want to see Crona beat Medusa, hopefully Maka won't ruin it by beating her instead. |
         |
| Awesome, awesome episode. I enjoyed the focus on Stein and his thought process. Also, seeing Mari's weapo for the first time and well... I'm hoping that Maka will be able to help Crona defeat Medusa, with Crona taking the finishing move or whatever. :D Either way, looking forward to the next episode~ |
    There is nothing in this world more ugly than imperfection |
| Awesome Episode! |

Subbers just seem to assume Crona is a girl. crona is ment to have no gender but these subbers seem to think crona's a she. personally it really annoys me because crona comes off more as a male to me and also uses 'boku'. i thought this was a pretty good episode and now im annoyed i gotta wait to see maka in action -_-. also i dont see why everyone is hating maka so much atm, whats wrong with her being serious?? if you were in her position you would be too!! i think it would be stupid if she was overly spiritual right now. |
| i was so not expecting Maka to save the day at the end there! i totally yelled out loud when that happened. I hope I didn't wake up my neighbors O.o i love Soul Eater. ahhh! |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| I don't like the look of things right now. No power-ups for any of the characters? Crona has yet to recover his/her previous skill level, Maka hasn't got anything new since the Demon Hunter (which she still can't really use), Black Star is physically stronger, but other than that he doesn't have anything besides the Fey Blade, and Kid hasn't leveled up since his introduction. Basically, it doesn't seem realistic for the main cast to be fighting Medusa/Arachne/Kishin at the moment, and any new powers that they get are going to feel too sudden. As for the episode itself, I found the Medusa fight to be utterly boring. Nowhere near as intense as Stein/Spirit vs Medusa in the Kishin-awakening segment. Always sucks when the last battle is less dramatic than the previous battles (oh hello there, Claymore). It's a shame that the anime script writers couldn't match the level of writing in the manga. |
| That Demon Hunter was enough to scare Mosquito. Black Star actually has a grasp on Fey Blade mode which scared Mifune. Kid is a real Shinigami who hasn't really encounter that many crazy tough battles yet, and of course, Soul has control over the black blood (for now). As far as power goes, I think we're in a good condition. Also, I'm not sure it will be any of the kids who beat Arachnae or Eibon. I see them taking out Free et. all. |
| The Demon Hunter is the strongest weapon available to the main cast, for sure. But I have a hard time thinking that it's anywhere near destructive enough to kill Medusa/Arachne (let alone the Kishin) without some crazy fluke. Look at it this way - Stein has already been established as the strongest weapon meister, and he barely managed to defeat Medusa. Maka's mother can perform Demon Hunter, but Stein > Maka's mother > Maka. Therefore, Medusa should be able to handle Maka's Demon Hunter unless she gets really unlucky. Black Star's Fey Blade mode might have pushed Mifune into fighting seriously, but Mifune easily annihilated Black Star, and Arachne seems much stronger than Mifune (otherwise, why would Mifune bother working for her?). And Kid, well... like I said, he hasn't powered up at all since the beginning. During the Kishin-awakening battle, Kid was told to run past Medusa (suggesting that he isn't good enough to handle her), and only managed to defeat Free's illusions with the help of Black Star (iirc). So I wouldn't bet on him being able to help out much with the witches or the Kishin, either. To top it all off, the 3 heroes combined with Soul's Black-Blood coordination could only stand up to Mosquito, who is obviously weaker than both Medusa and Arachne. noteDhero said: Also, I'm not sure it will be any of the kids who beat Arachnae or Eibon. I see them taking out Free et. all. That would be cool, but then, who is going to finish off the two witches and the Kishin? Stein could possibly snap out of it and help suppress Medusa or something (not sure how they're going to get out of killing the loli, though). Arachne could get eaten by the Kishin, or something. Maybe the Kishin doesn't die? I don't see how anyone could possibly defeat him. |
| Mifune is only working for Arachne to insure the safety of Angela. Otherwise he would probably be on Shibusen's side, as he's technically, for lack of a better term, a 'good guy.' And if you're completely up-to-date with the manga you know what happens between Black Star and Mifune. I have the distinct feeling Stein will snap out of it and it's pretty obvious what weapon he'll end up using if that happens, Marie. Seeing as she's a Death Scythe and she probably has a better soul resonance with him than Maka's dad, they'd be a much more formidable match against Medusa. As for avoiding killing the little girl, I hope it doesn't happen, but I can so feel an 'omg Medusa, that's someone's daughter' moment coming on where she can't bear the do that to someone's daughter. Alternatively I could see them, instead of destroying Medusa, allying with her to take down Arachne. If that does happen, well then you'd have Stein and Marie and Medusa, who would all be working against Arachne and the Kishin. That being said, hell, this is all hypothetical, so who really knows. In my opinion I don't see how they could beat them. It's been well-established that not even Shinigama-sama was able to kill the Kishin, so I don't see how Maka's lame attempts with Demon Hunter will manage to do something about it at this point in the series. At best I could see them taking out, maybe, Free and probably Mosquito since they almost succeeded at that feat before. As for Kid, well, I'm quite disappointed they haven't and probably won't include his power-up from the manga. To me that's such a character defining moment. -sigh- And I also don't see how they'll wrap up the whole Eibon mystery AND defeat Arachne and the Kishin in the remaining episodes. This is just getting disappointing. >: |

Right, but if Mifune was just as powerful (or more) than Arachne, then he wouldn't be working for her. The fact that Mifune isn't just hiding out by himself, and is instead in the middle of conflict with Shibusen proves how powerful Arachne is.

The fact that Mifune isn't just hiding out by himself, and is instead in the middle of conflict with Shibusen proves how powerful Arachne is. And I haven't read the manga, but I see what you're saying, but I think Mifune isn't hiding out because he doesn't want to risk anyone hurting Angela. Anyone with soul perception could easily find him and, therefore, find Angela. Everything that he does is to protect her. And, also, I think you might be counting out the fact that if, say, Mifune and Black Star worked together, considering how powerful they are, they'd be considerably larger threat. This goes for any of the characters. Alone perhaps most of them wouldn't be able to defeat Arachne or the Kishin, but I think if several of the more powerful characters work together they would stand a much higher chance. For example, if Stein snaps out of the insanity and uses Marie as a weapon, Medusa would have a tough time against him, Maka and Chrona, I have to believe. naikou said: I thought that might be the case. Kid seems to have gotten the short stick, as far as character development and overall power go, so I guess the anime hasn't gotten to that point. Quite agreed there, his chances to prove himself have been far, few between and solitary, there have only been a scant few times he's fought with people around and, as far as I can remember the only times he was fighting on his own against someone with people watching was when he first arrived and easily beat Black Star and Soul and when he once again beat Black Star. Other than that he's been great and all, but he hasn't gotten any better than he was in his prologue. In my opinion, |
maykipz said: That's reasonable for the witches, but definitely not for the Kishin. I got the impression that the Kishin could kill everyone in the entire series combined (minus Shinigami-sama) and not even break a sweat. I mean, he took out Eruka, Free, Black Star, Death the Kid, and Maka while putting on his skin. Like an afterthought. Then he proceeded to punch a hole through Shinigami-sama immediately after being trapped in a bag for hundreds of years.And, also, I think you might be counting out the fact that if, say, Mifune and Black Star worked together, considering how powerful they are, they'd be considerably larger threat.

There's no way the current cast is going to beat him. If they do, it'll be completely retarded. |

If they do, it'll be completely retarded. I totally agree with you there. If the Kishin is defeated by anyone other than Shinigama-sama I'll probably take the series off my favorites, because it would just ruin the entire thing. I don't see how that could happen in a way that would be acceptable with what has been said and done so far. That said, if the Kishin isn't defeated it will be somewhat anti-climatic, how can they end things with that still going on? Sadly I have the feeling that in the end Maka will somehow defeat the Kishin and if that happens I will definitely be disappointed with the show as a whole, I just hope something happens in the next few episodes that makes me look forward to the ending, because right now I'm just kind of worried it's going to be a terrible ending to such a promising series. |

Arachnae is probably gonna get team attacked or killed by Kishin. |

| Naikou, while reading, I've pretty much agreed with all of your points. A few of my own (though it was mentioned before or not) is that this show will either end in a very retarded (meaning unrealistic and disappointing way) or it won't have a real ending (like Trinity Blood and Get Backers) which would also become retarded and disappointing. I was giving Soul Eater credit for finally picking things up again but with only eight episodes left, I don't know if they can wrap it all up nicely. Most likely not. I've been on and off with Soul Eater, honestly. On one hand, when it started out, I was kind of disappointed with all of the comedy (I assumed it was going to be a dark one). After a while, it became more and more kiddish (I understand the main focus are kids but if you look at certain tones, it can be dark. It's finally picking up again with all of the battles but I'm not sure if it's enough to redeem the series as a whole. And 52 episodes is actually a lot for a series (since there are some great series that were able to be wrapped up in 23 to 24 episodes before) so it's a shame that they didn't pace themselves more nicely. I'm not actually following the manga at all, unfortunately, so I don't know the differences or the perks in comparison. They also mentioned (was it 8?) of Shibusen's top fighters. A few didn't come back but the others did which is where Marie and the kid with the headphones (I'm so horrible with names) came into view. So if they are the top people (and a few of them didn't come back), why is Shibusen leaving all of the heavy business to Maka and the others? The obvious answer is because they're the main characters but if you think about it, they were never acknowledged as anything but ordinary students. They picked up some abilities here and there and have even fought on the front lines too but still nobody acknowledged them as top fighters. They're continually thrown into fights that would realistically not match up because of how weak they are compared to their opponents. And I also second the opinion that if anybody but Shinigami beats the Kishin, I will be very disappointed. Because one, that's completely retarded and two, seeing him in full out action would probably give the series a lot of bonus points. I have so much left to say but I suppose it's enough to stop here. We'll see how everything plays out though I won't get hyped up until I see whether or not they can pull this off. Then again, there could always be a second season to clear things up like Code Geass (though there were also some holes left unfilled with that one as well). |

Because one, that's completely retarded and two, seeing him in full out action would probably give the series a lot of bonus points. Actually, most of the Death Scythes (the ones who were assembled) are busy doing things. Justin (with the headphones) is fighting Giriko (a subordinate of Arachnophobia). Spirit has been instructed to stay in Death City with Shinigami-sama, which is also where Azusa is, using her ability to map out things from a distance to see what the Shibusen forces are doing and to help direct them from a distance. Marie formally cut ties with Shibusen to go save Stein. The other four Death Scythes are all busy and have yet to (and probably will not) show up. Basically, the ones that showed up to help Shibusen are doing just that. As for why Maka, Kid and Black Star are all prominent while being just students, well, as most main characters of a series they aren't just anything. Maka is excellent at soul perception and can use Demon Hunter which is the most powerful attack a scythe technician can use. Kid is a Shinigami which essentially means he has power most normal people do not and while he's a student he's much more skilled than most of the other students are. Black Star has been shown numerous times to be extremely powerful and doesn't even need a weapon to fight. That being said, I find it hard to believe just those three will take Arachnophobia down. If they do I will be highly dissapointed in such an ending, because it's not realistic in what I've seen so far in the series. From what I can guess, Stein will come back using Marie as a weapon, defeating Medusa with Maka and Chrona and then aid them in the fight, etc., etc. But, LostArticulation said: if anybody but Shinigami beats the Kishin, I will be very disappointed. Really, agreed. :/ |
| I think this episodes proves that Crona is a girl. Even though, I would've liked it better if it were a guy. I mean, no guy has a chest that round. |
 |
| Awesome, but it looks like Crona will get hurt next episode. :( |
| Call me a sadist, but I loved the way Medusa "disciplined" Chrona. Medusa: "Vector Blade. Let's pay some respect to your first rebellious act!" |
 |
| Wow! Maka is one B.A.M.F.! |
     |
| woo .. the next episode seems to be a fight of Maka against Medusa xD cool~ |
     |
| very sugoi episode ... - mary acts like yachiru ... her sense of finding the right way isn't good at all ^^ yokata her companion is crona instead of kenpachi xD - medusa's hideout looks very cool indeed - awesome fight, stein goes really mad, medusa puts out a vector sword LOOOL and then ... damm damm damm ... maka appears xDD |
| "just take it easy xD" |
| Predictable that Maka was going to save the day XD |
