The goal of the school's meister students is to have their weapons absorb the souls of 99 evil humans and one witch, which dramatically increases the weapon's power and turns them into "death scythes" used by Shinigami. Despite the combined efforts of Maka, Black Star, and Death the Kid, Medusa's group successfully revives Asura, who leaves to spread chaos around the world after a brief battle with Shinigami. As a result of Asura's spreading madness, Medusa's sister Arachne comes out of hiding and reforms her organization, Arachnophobia, which poses a serious threat to DWMA.

After the end of his first manga series, B. He also said the series' title, Soul Eaterwas intended to refer to Asura and his desire to eat innocent souls, and not to the character, Soul. He thought too many manga had characters who were developed through flashbackswhich he considered too clever. Therefore, he decided to develop his characters in the present rather than referring to their pasts, and to focus on "action and momentum," so he could "write freely".

Leigh, however, criticized the series for its excessive use of fanserviceand considered that it clashes terribly with the series "pattern oriented, with very little depth" art style. Garrity concluded that the series' popularity comes from its anime adaptation, adding that it is "fun to look at, bright and vibrant and visually imaginative", and in contrast, the original manga is "a lot less fun to sit down and read". Dupree wrote that the series holds an inherent charm to its world and characters that is hard to find anywhere else, adding that the key is its "spooky, Spirit Halloween-esque design sensibilities". He pointed out, however, that the comedy did not age well, stating that the main characters' gimmicks become repetitive and unfunny, and he felt that its use of sexual humor and fanservice is "questionable at best", and would not blame uninitiated readers if they drop the series for it "being too much". Dupree concluded: "for whatever warts it bears 15 years later, there's still nothing quite like Soul Eater out there". In her Anime Preview Guide, Casey Brienza of Anime News Network wrote; "Though Soul Eater should not be surprising anyone with its standard Soul Eater: v. 11 plot structure, it has some serious style to burn. Like D. Gray-man it is deeply indebted to Tim Burton's idiosyncratic gothic-fantasy imagery think Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmasbut this series does, if possible, execute it better". The result: a series that takes the guilt out of your guilty pleasure". A large part of its uniqueness and thrills have to do Soul Eater: v. 11 the original animation style. It is zany while at times being creepy at whim. Gray-man and Bleachand its Soul Eater: v. 11 style to Gorillaz 's videos. Scholes concluded; "If these type of dark fantasy anime grips you then you've seen nothing yet — it's the one that holds the audience right till the end! Jason Green of Anime News Networkwrote that the series "explores the imposing concept of death gods in a tone that's less and more Gurren Lagann ". Regarding the anime series finale, Chapman wrote; "The conclusion and the denouement of the Soul Eater anime are adequate. The ending may not be mind-blowingly original, but it gives me everything that I require to be satisfied and it leaves me with the warm feeling of seeing the characters that I care about accomplish a worthy goal". Champan concluded that " Soul Eater is a solid addition to the collection of any anime fan who likes heroic action with a taste of the sinister and the macabre mixed in".

Tsubaki's soul has entered the Enchanted Sword, where she faces her older brother, Masamune. Tsubaki, unconscious, clutches the Enchanted Sword, her soul having entered into him. Masamune 's soul consists of a floor that appears like water, but appears polluted, almost like blood. Tsubaki, clutching her kusarigamadashes at Masamune to attack, but he disables her, taking her by the head. He shows both his Soul Eater: v. 11 and his hostility towards his sister. The ground beneath Soul Eater: v. 11 siblings is like water, through which he holds her head below to suffocate her. Masamune mocks Tsubaki, claiming she is not fighting at all. He then stabs her with his Enchanted Sword into her side before lifting her with one hand and tosses her away. As he throws Tsubaki away, Masamune reminding her that, if this was the real Soul Eater: v. 11, his attacks would kill her. Tsubaki looks up, refusing to back down: even if she must die in this battle, she will defeat Masamune. Seeing his sister's eyes, Masamune panics, claiming he cannot face her, as it was always her stare, and her presence, that drove him to this point. Maka Albarn is curious how Tsubaki can fight within her and Masamune's very souls, but she is interrupted by Stein and the Thompson Sisterswho have brought their lunch. As Stein tries to dine with chopsticks, he inadvertently compares that eating practice to Soul Eater: v. 11 "tug-of-war" between Soul Eater: v. 11 and Masamune: each sibling is attempting to absorb the other's soul. Death the Kidhis mouth stuffed with food, asks whether Tsubaki has a chance to win, for Stein to respond that her chance is low. This sibling battle brings tears to Liz 's eyes, as she clutches Patty and promises never Soul Eater: v. 11 hurt her like that. Stein concludes that every Kishin desires to use such power acquired to win against something: the original Kishin desired to escape fear, but why does Masamune want to become a Kishin? He assumes that the problem concerns Tsubaki's inheritance of weapon abilities that should have, but did not, pass onto the first-born son in the Nakatsukasa family, namely Masamune. Masamune Soul Eater: v. 11 why Tsubaki holds back to fight with only her kusarigama rather than her other weapon forms. He exclaims how he hates Tsubaki for assuming his birthright, the Multi-Form Abilityand also for daring to pity him. Masamune claims Tsubaki's example showed him that he was babied by everyone around them, hence he believes that he must be inferior. Therefore, he covers his face in embarrassment. So he may never have to look at her face again, Masamune promises, he will kill her. Using Puppet's RainMasamune binds Tsubaki by her limbs. But he senses his weapon, and he asks her whether she remembers their first meeting. Students look up to see an odd loudmouth shouting from atop the spire of the DWMA. She applauds loudly. He leaps from the spire, landing effortlessly onto the quad. He compliments Tsubaki for her good taste in recognizing his greatness. Recognizing her as the Star Clan's weapon, Sonny intends to knock her down as well. Masamune remembers how Tsubaki would always play whichever game he Soul Eater: v. 11 to play--without him having to say that it would be ball as shown in the previous episode's cold opening --and now he will take her soul. With his Enchanted Sword, he stabs at Tsubaki, causing his sister to fall Soul Eater: v. 11. Maka and Stein cannot believe Tsubaki would attack when she is no match for Masamune. Lord Death agrees, saying Tsubaki's strength is not only physical but also in her soul, and it is with that strength that her victory is possible. The soul now takes the form of the Nakatsukasa residence from Masamune and Tsubaki's childhood, the siblings appearing as they had as children. Tsubaki remembers how she did not want to play ball with her brother, and she wonders whether, if she had spoken up, as opposed to living up to the name of the camelia as a silent scentless flower, she and her brother could have instead played house, with a closer relationship like siblings could have. Masamune, no longer appearing as a child, stands in Soul Eater: v. 11 pre-Kishin form, mocking her for the harm he has put upon him to feel worthless, and that it is because of her silence, like Soul Eater: v. 11 camelia, that Soul Eater: v. 11 will die. Tsubaki, remaining a child, stays silent and smiling sadly, as a camelia falls to the ground. With that camelia lifted, so too is Tsubaki's confidence: no longer a child, she stands as the young woman she is. With a shout of "You're wrong! She begs her brother to listen to how confident she is: her meister has shown her how much of a scent this camelia can have, and she will defeat Masamune, even if that means killing him. No longer depending on only kusarigama, Tsubaki uses her ninja sword to slash away at Masamune's shadows. She slides across the water before leaping down to deliver one last blow: in the explosion, only one sibling could survive. The Enchanted Sword forms a mist, drawing Tsubaki's very body into the weapon. Maka shuts her eyes, as she cannot bear to watch her friend die. Soul clenches his teeth but keeps his eyes open. The waters of Masamune's soul remain polluted. The Enchanted Sword, clutched by Masamune, is stabbed into Tsubaki's chest. It appears that the brother has defeated his sister. But Masamune says that actually it is Tsubaki who has shown what her feelings are. A camelia appears atop Tsubaki's chest, the manifestation of her very soul that Masamune now touches, and he realizes that just as the camelia indeed has a scent, Soul Eater: v. 11 too does his sister have a voice. Tsubaki sees that Masamune's body is fading away. His eyes no longer have that look of the Kishin. Her souls has cleansed his own, and has made him realize how strong she really is. Defeated, Masamune's last words are to say that her scent "is a nice fragrance. Tsubaki clutches her brother, hugging him, as she sobs amid clean waters Soul Eater: v. 11 a bright Soul Eater: v. 11 sky. She says she had to visit her brother. Tsubaki Soul Eater: v. 11 a smile confirms, before averting her stare. He opens his arms, demanding a big hug. Worried for his injuries, Tsubaki asks whether he is alright, which he confirms he is. The villagers refuse to listen, hurling more stones and sticks at the meister and the weapon. Surprised at this question to leave him, Tsubaki says she is not going anywhere: she is his weapon. As Liz congratulates Tsubaki while lying that it was Patty, not her, crying like a babyStein admits Soul Eater: v. 11 Lord Death that he did underestimate Tsubaki, as he likely has underestimated many of these students. He calls to his partner, who forms the Enchanted Sword mode. He charges the blade, producing a wind that flows past the impressed students--then dissolves. Embarrassed for their Soul Eater: v. 11, the students and teachers watch Tsubaki fan her meister back to recovery. Sign In Don't have an account? Start a Wiki. Contents [ show ]. Categories :.

Can we talk about Maka and Soul being extremely open communicators and how much they trust and respect each other and literally anything Maka and Soul. Wooo more Kim and Jackie! I must admit, I really don't like Arachnophobia. I can't wait to see what will happen. The plot continues to improve. I love Soul's dedication to Maka. Mainly the way he has always wanted to protect her especially now with the ever-present threat of madness that he has in him. Deep down I hope that Maka and Soul Eater: v. 11 will eventually form a couple. Je dois vous avouez que je n'aime vraiment pas Arachnophobia. Great battle scene with Maka and Soul. They are so great together. I welcomed Black Star's absence. Soul Eater: v. 11 the weak link in the story for me. Crona has run away but I hope they come back soon. Obviously, no one trusts her. But she just gave up Arachne's stronghold location so let's see what comes from that. Jun 21, Amanda Setasha Hall rated it it was ok Shelves: zzzmanga. This is the longest arc I've seen in a manga to date. Please stop iiiiiiit. There's major art problems. The new style is weird and doesn't translate well. There's also multiple times that in one frame the characters coat is shredded and then goes back to being perfectly fine with no flash backs in the next frame as if that never happened. It's things like that that bother me. This was the improvement I was holding out for! I love how much more twisted the plot is getting with underhanded stories and some crazy, unexpected secrets. I also love seeing Maka shine and absolutely annihilate her opponent. This series continues to be excellent. Maka and Soul engage in an epic battle in this one and it is super-cool. DWMA is plagued by various enemies and witches. What will Shinigami-sama do? Can't wait to find out! I so wanted Crona to stay. So glad he stood up for himself. Dec Soul Eater: v. 11, Gise. Muy buenaaaaaaaaaaa. Aug 06, Vyou rated it really liked Soul Eater: v. 11 Shelves: -on-going. Aug 19, Kurtis Burkhardt rated it it was amazing Shelves: manga. Really loved the anime and so far the Manga is really awesome too!! A quick and enjoyable read. So to put it simply, I don't normally give a manga series that looks like scrapped Tim Burton characters and more action than substance a rating this high. To put it specifically; Soul Eater is balls out entertaining as balls with balls on top. It's a prototypical school-fantasy series that tries to be Harry Potter and the Nightmare Before Christmas, tries cocaine, develops a split personality and decides that it's both. And I'm not trying to fanboy but Soul Eater was the perfect show to start o So to put it simply, I don't normally give a manga series that looks like scrapped Tim Burton characters and more action than substance a rating this high. And I'm not trying to fanboy but Soul Eater was the perfect show to start out with as it got me into the medium of anime and manga in the first place. The characters, action, and costumes try to be as over the top and flashy as possible just for the hell of it and that's really what dragged me into it. The show has three main teams of characters; two pairs and one threesome, a bunch of villains, and a ton of supporting characters, that each have their own abilities and personalities. The author takes characters from anywhere and everywhere in regards to halloween stereotypes; Death, witches, Mary Shelley wannabes and after skepticism, I found that making Soul Eater: v. 11 halloween world actually works. The first three episodes introduce the main teams and setting, and then treats the building blocks of the show like clay and does whatever it wants, adding new characters, villains, settings, trials, tribulations, plot elements and powers, and the plot still manages to chug along at a strangely consistent pace. The dialogue throughout is pretty heartfelt but many times painfully corny in addition to the fact that there's a lot of Soul Eater: v. 11 humor in the series or rather any time Excalibur is around, even if the wonderful stories about him were in the manga not much is told about him. Despite there being a huge cast of characters, some of the main characters and antagonists don't even interact with each other and could care less about them because they were just there to fight each other, leaving some of the pivotal parts of the series as action fodder that only looks cool but isn't relevant. Plus if you're looking for a deep manga don't read Soul Eater, it's able to play with the emotions but it's fairly shallow and not thought provoking whatsoever. I wanted to see it as a series that comments on being free from death makes one mad with power but even that shows how far I'm stretching for at least some substance to the comic. The characters are good if not very Soul Eater: v. 11, but the plot is a little wonky. The setting is most of all what confused me. There's a world that features London but also has bizarre areas like the DWMA, and I wanted to know more about why they have the students do all this in the first place. Why are they learning? I'll never know. I also have seen the show twice, and what I noticed most about the manga was they toned down the so called offensive content in the show. The manga boasts way more panty shots, blood flying from orifices and aerial expletives, which I don't understand why the cut it out of the show. However when I want to sit down and read, I want to think critically whereas on TV I can just be spoonfed, so overall given the carefree artistic aspect of Soul Eater, it works better as an anime. The cover to this volume is a bit misleading, as the blonde guy who is pictured on the cover, the guardian of the teeny Soul Eater: v. 11 witch Mosquito Soul Eater: v. 11 by the hand, never appears in the book. That's too bad as Soul Eater: v. 11 conflicted status as protector of this young girl, who is a witch and therefore potentially evil, while not being evil at all himself has been used with great effect by Ohkubo when he picks the plot thread up, which is far to rarely. The volume deals primarily with continuing conflicting plot The cover to this volume is a bit misleading, as the blonde guy Soul Eater: v. 11 is pictured on the cover, the guardian of the teeny young witch Mosquito has Soul Eater: v. 11 the hand, never appears in the book. The volume deals primarily with continuing conflicting plots by Arachnaphobia and Medusa to undermine DWMA, each for their own reasons and in their own manners. Arachnephobia continues direct assaults and the location and employment of demon weapons to keep Shinigami-sama and his troops off balance, while Medusa seems to work far more indirectly, by deception and manipulation. The characters begin to add surprising depth as the story goes on, especially for a manga that opened with such shallow violence and fun oriented characters. Blair is still my Soul Eater: v. 11. Jacqueline refuses to leave kim's side and will f this was absolutely great! Jacqueline refuses to leave kim's side and will follow her down any path she choses.
