yea good episode, i just hope black star doesnt always outshine tsubaki. both weapon and master should have equal share in the spotlight.

I'm not a fan of Black Star but beating that ugly kid who kept hitting him was pretty great!

I really love Soul Eater so far! It's kinda like Bleach except funnier and way more bizarre.

Pretty good episode, though I honestly think Tsubaki's backstory fell flat. I do like that this series is giving every single character their due, or at least it has so far.

Great episode, awesome fight and a real connection between partners was shown here! Now that she inherited also that sword power it might get quite interesting for them later on in the story! Lets see what's next!

I like the fact that they also put in Black Star's origin in the episode. I'm not sure Tsubaki's story was as good as it could have been, I wanted more detail. But at the end when she discovered her scent, it was really heart touching. I swear, if they ever make Tsubaki nearly die like that again I will have a fit. I legit thought she was going to die & started to cry. It showed another side of Black Star as well, which was really nice to see. The end was all happy & fluffy, this has to be my favorite episode yet.
Plot twist: You don't have to hate on people, just because they have their own opinion which might be different from yours.

So my hearing still in function, I'm not wrong for hearing child Masamune's seiyuu is Shimono Hiro
Also Tsubaki, it's funny to find scent = kaori. And that's the VA given name XD

So she's the only weapon that had many weapons @_@
Anyway good ending and new weapons, looks cool!

Best couple episodes yet! Damn, with the past two episodes, Black Star reminds me more and more of Naruto! He is a good deal more likeable though. He may have his head up his own ass, but at least he can show a liiitle bit more maturity. He's badass imo. Hopefully there'll be more episodes about tsubaki in the future. I liked her, and we never knew much about her at all till now. She's awesome. And the fight between her brother was epic. Great character development

A nice cathartic moment coupled with a great cinematic fight reminiscent of FMAB's finale? Well shit, never thought Soul Eater would ever impress me beyond being a timepasser. I guess I was wrong, beautiful episode. Even manage to squeeze in a bit of comedy for good measure.

Aww Black Star ^_^ Maybe he's not so bad after all.

By the way, this doesn't relate to the episode, but I went to the doctor today and my doctors name was Dr. Stein. I'm totally serious. She was a woman though.

I have a new found respect for Black Star. I thought this would be my least favorite weapon/meister pair, but they really do mesh well. It was interesting how they used the whole fragrance bit to reflect how Tsubaki had bottled up all of her thoughts and feelings. Now that she's more open about them, it seems she's blooming.

Tsubaki is sweet and all, but I'm looking forward to her getting stronger. Her brother was strong and skillful. I liked the part where she hugged his demon soul though

AHH, THIS EPISODE WAS SO AMAZING. 5/5!!
I must admit, I've never liked Black Star but I liked him in this episode eue Never realized how beautiful and cute (when she was little) Tsubaki was! Those villagers were annoying hitting Black Star after that hug from Tsubaki >_>

Absolutely incredible! Black Star waiting beside Tsubaki and protecting her despite being continuously beaten by those uneducated villagers shows just how much trust he had on Tsubaki, that's definitely a respectable and a really SHINING action he did right there! Besides that, Tsubaki's fight with her brother was lit af! Those fighting animations sent shiver on my back!

And now finally, the pair got their first soul! Plus, Tsubaki got a new epic and powerful Katana form! I can't wait to see Black Star properly wielding this new form in battle! this make me ask the question of, 'Does consuming another weapon's soul allow a weapon-person to transform into the consumed weapon's soul?' And does that mean that Tsubaki have several forms because she ate some other weapons' souls?!

It was hard to watch Black Star get beaten up by sticks hard enough to make him bleed that much from his head but that part where he threatened to kill that brat when he tried to hit Tsubaki was badass. It's good that he taught that shitty kid a lesson at the end too.

It's great that Tsubaki was able to defeat her brother despite his overwhelming power over her and the grievous injuries he'd dealt on her. She might've fulfilled her initial purpose of taming the Enchanted Sword but this is just the beginning of their countless adventures together!

The battle looked great (not that it was great itself), the town people playing Whac-A-Mole with Balck Star's head was funny but the sibling and therefore Tusbaki's drama felt underwhelming buuuut that hug was sweet, I give them that.

dope fight with one peaceful ending to it. And for a anime out of 2008 it got like demon slayer fight style and it looked so clean.

I'm really glad we got to see Tsubaki fight her brother on her own. I was worried she'd need Black Star to come in and help her in the battle but I like how Black Star was firm in strictly offering her moral support 
Tsubaki really needed a solo moment to shine and I think it was executed well

Back to greatness. I've grown to like Tsubaki more after this, and to some extent Black Star too.

This is the first anime I considered stop watching because of a main character (1 out of 3 main characters of the show): Black Star.
Got annoyed enough to search whether he changes along the show as it progresses. Found out that he doesn't (at least according to several of the search results).
A main character that isn't developed? With "edgy" tropes, such as arrogance, egoism, unexplained stupidity/denseness? A character that almost constantly shouting?
I think Black Star is a bad character-writing 101 course. It may not be difficult to ignore him and his traits and to focus on the other characters, the story itself, the beautiful artwork and animation - but no anime should create a hurdle that would require any viewer, a conscious and a deliberate effort about anything in said anime.
