ROFL! I can honestly say i didn't expect any of that. I was secretly hoping he would step on Arachnaphobia though lol.

LOL @ the table flip, LOL @ swallowing Asura, lol @ Shinigami period.

Now we get to see Shinigami vs Asura! ...and i'm still laughing at this

This episode was a bit of a "what the hell was that?" for me with Black Star coming back instantly way stronger and one shotting Mifune. Then there was the base vs base giant robot battle which was just... strange.

Next episode looks like it should be good with some Shinigami vs Asura action.


This pretty much.

So yeah. This episode was... a bit of a downer for me. I mean, Black Star chooses his own path or whatever and then he's suddenly able to beat Mifune (and the way that it happened was SO cliched). -1 right there.

And then the giant robot battle at the end. -.-
It was good for a few laughs, but meh.


Exactly my opinion ^^ and the spider robot was too low :/
Though the eye poking attack from Shinigami-sama was really nice xD

Disappointing. Soul Eater got noticeably worse after a point--don't know when--but it all culminated to the disappointing Black Star vs Mifune fight and... something more ridiculous and over-the-top than Gurren Lagann? I love TTGL, but I didn't know that was possible. It didn't suit Soul Eater either IMO.

Good Episode.
4/5
Liked the messages throughout, was a nice ending but really unrealistic.
It was a nice ending but it could be more realistic i mean really death gets taken out by a single blow.
everyone else is destroyed and a one star meister defeats the most powerful kishan. They dont even go on to talk about Maka and the others getting the 99 kishan eggs and one witch soul. Which was the main point right. Wish they talked about that and about Maka's mom, and many more unanswered things. But loved the idea of courage i though it was great, the idea that all a person needs is there inner courage to overcome any difficulties in life and destroy the maddness in there lives.

I was expecting more from the fight of Black Star and Mifune.But I like that Mifune joins the "good" club cause to me he never was a true villain.

Does anyone else think that ending reeked of anti-climax? Also, I take issue with Black Star getting up and fighting after a nearly fatal move. I appreciate in the preview, "No,no, the audience will never accept that kind of ending"

Yeah, that about says it for me. I was willing to forgive the whole Black Star thing because, despite his quirks, I can't help but like the little bugger, but the giant robot battle made me facepalm right along with Kid. It's like it suddenly became an entirely different anime.

I am reading the manga as well but im quite far behind, the death city robot? Was that not in the manga? Also i noticed Exclaubar suddenly appears, i thought it was only a filler character. Was this character actually in the manga as well?

Lastly, i kind of knew something was a bit off with that mifune Vs black star fight. It just seemed very very cliche to me. I am glad to know that it was only changed in the anime, so ill have to check out the real fight in the manga soon.

Anyways can some one clear up my questions, thanks!

Well... That was kind of a disappointment... I mean if you are going to include a robot battle in this show (NOT ADVISED) then at least make the robots look decent. The city robot was just an awkward, wonky mess...

REALLY hope this show redeems itself in the next episode cause I really want to give it a good rating!

I'm not saying Steins;Gate has to be your favourite show. But if you don't like it I'll have to drown you in Dr Pepper.

Sometimes I forget to check back when I post. If you really think I need to hear something it's best to just send me a message.

Well that's one way to get rid of the Kishin xD Lol he just...ate him...Om nom nom! =3

I can't help but picture what everyone in the city must be thinking. If he didn't evacuate the city first, he put everyone in danger. They all would have totally fallen off the side of the city too. xP And how did he know he wasn't smooshing some of his own teammates with all the tree smacking he was doing? Sid and Nygus (and some of the others? I think?) were still in the forest...I'm sure they're fine though because anime logic. =3

I didn't mind the Black Star vs Mifune fight, but, again, it felt rushed (it's been a common theme since the anime separated from the manga) and I really didn't get it.
I mean, I totally anticipated Black Star to lose and fall again into the Nakatsukasa grave, swamp, afterlife or whatever the hell the thing is, and talk to their animal spirit, god, or whatever TF, to get a power up, but the whole scene doesn't make sense.

The spirit basically tells him "Well, you chose the demon's path because you are scared to lose, instead of following the warrior's path" and BS is "meh, I don't give a capital F", then he cries for no reason.
I expected then something like "I accept my fears and that I'm not a god, I have more important stuff than my ego to protect" and the spirit, after seeing him humbling down, to give him power, but, instead, he just goes "nah, I'm crying because I pity your clan, and I won't admit I did lose, but I won't follow any demon's path either because that's for losers, I'll just be badass and win anyway because I'm stonger than gods and FU", and the spirit is, like, "Uh, ok, then you win a free powerup, whatever, I give up on the whole thing making any sense".
It seems pretty nonsensical and a total asspull.

BUT. Shinigami-sama using his genie's lamp artifact to make Shibusen into a giant robot to allow him to fight was pretty awesome. It was foreshadowed when they told that to allow him to fight the whole city should have grown legs and that it was impossible, therefore I half expected it, but it was still pretty cool.

How the hell did we end up SO FAST in a "WTF" moment.
Hilarious "mecha" fight though.

Also I like how Black Star got back to life and being able to beat Mifune / convince him to join the "good" side.

Wow, Black Star suddenly coming back and finally being able to fully use the enchanted katana was cliche as hell! What Black Star said of choosing a path that is beyond god is cool and all, but still it doesn't make up for this dead obvious cliche! Well, let's look at the bright side, I love how badass Black Star act in this episode! The last dash to defeat Mifune with the red enchanted katana was epic! Also, it seems like Mifune will end up being a teacher after all I guess...

So since the brew could grant desires, and Death's desire is to participate in the war, why not just get his soul to be not fixed to the DWMA instead of making a freakin' robot-DWMA!? Though I can't argue that the Robot-DWMA fight against the Robot-Spider-Castle isn't hilariously amazing because it is! I just love how the characters reacted during this unexpected mecha battle!

Whaaaa?! That is some smooth way to capture the kishin XD

So, no explanation how Black Star get up and fight again and eventually win. And his technique doesn't kill Mifune conveniently to get him joined the 'good' side.

And we get a robot battle, well at least that's unexpected and Kishin is captured.

All ends well for this episode.

This episode was both ridiculous and awesome.

Black Star getting his soul vanquished to the deepest regions of the Enchanted Blade only to immediately revive and power-up to beat Mifune happened awfully quickly but I guess that's how fickle the power of souls are. Casting away his arrogance and conceit to carry the burden of those who came before him is truly a sign of Black Star growing as a character though. It was too easy of a solution though...

Death's mecha battle with Mosquito was hilarious, and really fun to watch especially when he got angrier and angrier at that pesky castle dodging his attacks. The episode ending abruptly with Death City swallowing Asura was absurd lmao

probably funniest mecha fight i've ever seen, the man vs nature conflict was really well executed, even if the nature is just a very agile giant spider robot that shoots lasers and electric strings

I'm probably not the first to say this, but Asura getting cartoonishly pulled out of Baba Yaga castle and eaten(?) by the Death City robot-mecha-thing in the last few moments of the episode felt a little anticlimactic
