Meh episode, very slow as usual and I don't really see the point of an episode like this one. However, the last scene made up for the lack of development, so I guess I'm waiting for the next ep now.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

i thought maka arguing with blackstar was very out of place, considering that a few episodes ago blackstar was trying to get revenge for her. maybe he shouldn't have hit her in the end. But when he told her he'd kick her ass if she tries him again, i thought he was in the right

Uneventful episode.
It was pretty great though.<3

Gotta love Maka's sense of honor.

First things first. Hatsuyuki sub is terrible.
This was the first episode where I could really fell Iwasaki Taku. Really great soundtrack. Somehow I'm glad Black Star hit Maka.

Really now?


Blackstar doing that, is just like him, I think. The way he is, it is more or less within his crazy personality. But hey, without crazy Blackstar where would Soul Eater be!

Heh. He is one of the most loveable characters in the series, cracks me up. Him, and Kid's obsession with symmetry. Overall, very good episode, 9 out of 10.

This episode was really interesting and exciting with all the stuff going on with Black Star and Maka; it makes me want to know more and more about Black Star!

They managed to resonate as a team; which was really sweet.

I hope Stein can hold this 'madness' for abit longer!

The preview looks interesting I'm excited!

I´ve the felling that this was the waekest episode of all i´ve seen untill now.

The deer was cool and Steins madness too, but the whole crying and punching-in-the-face part was in my eyes overacting and just embrassing. The idea of a fight between two totally different characters is Interresting but in this way it looks just childish.

wow, subs for me sucked on this one.

"Arach of Phobia"? You really thought the no was possessive here?
and "Shuusen" at the end... maybe Shibusen?

That said, I liked and didn't like this episode. The fact that Black Star was still his arrogant old self and didn't apologize whatsoever really ticked me off.

I really want to see Stein go berserk, I want to see what he's like when he truly lets go.

The animation in this ep was pretty good. Still can't believe Black Star actually hit her...
Good ep overall.

black star REALLY pissed me off in this episode. infact, the whole moral compass of this ep seemed to be off. black star was being a complete cocky douchebag for NO reason; i wanted maka to put him in his place but it never happened and he instead makes her cry, and doesn't even APOLOGIZE for it in the end. while everyone makes maka believe that she's in the wrong when black star seemed to be the one unwilling to work with the team and going against the rest of them? no one argues when maka is being the better person and says that it was her fault and she was bringing the team down, black star never comes out and says he's sorry for how he was wrongfully treating the situation. infact i don't understand how they even managed to soul resonate in the end because maka was the only one who seemed to learn a so called lesson from this episode. even though apparently the lesson was accept people for who they are, even if they're an unrepentant ASSHOLE, and somehow you'll come to a complete understanding and everything will be okay.

the icing on the cake was despite all this and black star still seems to have learned absolutely nothing from this, punches maka in the face full force at the end of the episode. great lesson to everyone. be like maka, guys. take horrible treatment and abuse from your friends, just accept them and everything will be okay even if you're being abused in the long run.

I don't understand why everyone is up on Maka. Black Star was being a total douche.
If I had a friend constantly saying he/she was the best. Gosh I'm such a big star I'd punch them
in their face and NO I wouldn't apologize.

"This will turn into a massive battle" I like the sound of that.

Yes they were acting childish, but everyone does sometime. They're only supposed to be like what in their mid teens? So some immaturity is to be expected.

Yeah, I agree 100% with you. I didn't have anything against Black Star before (since him being full of himself was mostly shown in humorous ways before this), but after this he's gonna have to work hard to redeem himself in my eyes. What a complete asshole. Maka asking to be punched in the end annoyed me as well, she did NOT owe that to Black Star. =/

Pretty good episode. Liked the stuff between Maka and Black Star. Soul is becoming very "cool" as well, which is interesting because he's all but stopped using that catch phrase. My one complaint is that the confrontation between the two of them sort of came out of nowhere. Especially Black Star seemed to be acting strange.

Damn you Black Star! How dare you hurt my girl Maka!

It doesn't matter how much Tsubaki sugercoats him, he's still an asshole. He's loud, he's obnoxious, he's an idiot, there's really not anything likable about him. You might say "he went to Spider Lady's place and avenged her!", to that i say - i think it was just an excuse for him to flex his muscles and show off.

Also, i firmly believe that "The Power of Friendship" is one of the most contrived plot-devices ever. Death and Maka seem okay, but how can she be still be friends with Black Star when they hate each other's guts?

Ikr. He's always so cocky and selfish, and I couldn't blame Maka for snapping! However, her whining was annoying me, too.

Fffffffuck.

I'm almost exactly like Maka in terms of personality and thinking.

This wasn't easy to watch.

On the other hand, Maka is becoming quite the punching bag.

Black star in some ways reminds me of naruto. He is arrogant, selfish and pretty obnoxious, he thinks he can handle anything him self. (That is pretty much naruto in a nut shell) But the quality behind black star is he does not back down for nothing and that in tern gives him incredible stamina and strength to keep on going. I really admire that kind of tenacity, though he may seem like a jerk at times. Most enemies and characters in this series really recognize his talent as being some one not to trifle with.

Regarding the conflict between black star and Maka, i really never found it to be completely out of the blue. In all honestly that is really black stars personality. He may of shown love for his friends at times but he has always been a self arragent kid and if some one insults him in anyway or belittles him, he doesn't not take kindly to it. That is essentially what maka did, was not only told on him to try and get him kicked out of the group but also spouted lines of nonsense about how he's slowing down the group when in actuality he was doing better then all of them.
