Soul Eater is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Atsushi Okubo.[1] The series follows the adventures of three students at a school called the Death Weapon Meister Academy (or DWMA for short), known as meisters, who use demon weapon companions with human and weapon forms. These meisters, Maka Albarn, Black Star, and Death the Kid, seek to turn their weapons, Soul Eater, Tsubaki, and the Thompson sisters respectively, into "death scythes" for Lord Death, the Grim Reaper and head of the DWMA, by having their weapons consume the souls of 99 evil humans and one witch.[2] Show The manga initially began as three separate one-shots serialized between June 24, 2003 and November 26, 2003 in two manga magazines published by Square Enix. The first one-shot was published in the summer 2003 special edition of Gangan Powered,[3] the second following in the autumn 2003 special edition of the same magazine,[4] and the third serialized in Gangan Wing. The manga started regular serialization in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine on May 12, 2004. The first tankōbon was released by Square Enix under their Gangan Comics imprint on June 22, 2004 in Japan; as of December 12, 2013, 25 volumes have been released.[5] The series is published in English by Yen Press, and is serialized in Yen Press' Yen Plus manga anthology magazine. The first issue of Yen Plus was released on July 29, 2008.[6] An anime adaptation of the manga, produced by Bones and Aniplex, aired on TV Tokyo between April 7, 2008 and March 30, 2009 and contained 51 episodes.[7][8] You need a vessel for your latest experiment (i.e. Black Blood). You don't want to test it on yourself because it would make you go batshit crazy. And you don't want anything that would leave a paper trail (birth records, adoption papers, bills for your brand new clone, etc.). So you decide to whip up something using your own materials at hand. It also explains hir gender confusion and a few of hir other general quirks. Maka's Mom is Dr. Stein A curious young boy named Franken comes across the book of Eibon one day and falls under the effects of the Lust chapter.... but manages to escape. The bad thing is, he left before the effects wore off, and is now a nice young lady. His partner, Spirit is OK with it, though, and they invent a new meister named Kami to hide this catastrophe. After a few years get married and have kid. After say... thirteen years, Kami comes across the book of Eibon again and is able to transform back into Franken Stein... yay! Spirit covers it up by telling Maka that her mother walked out, and Dr. Stein comes back to teach at the DWMA one month later, after successsfully turning Sid into a zombie. Hence, Maka never knew Dr. Stein until after Kami went missing, it would explain why Kami and Dr. Stein are both the greatest scythemeisters ever at the same time, Maka looks like Dr. Stein, and it satisfies the Yaoi fans.Spirit is Crona's Father Pay attention in the second fight between Maka and Crona, and you see Crona has a... Grigori soul? He/r eyes are blue, like Spirit's, and the hair is pink, whereas Spirit's is red. At one point in that same fight, Crona uses blades coming from his/her wrists, like Spirit's back(and wrist?) blades. Crona's dress is basically just a closed version of Maka's cloak, and they both have that same "someone please get that girl a sandwich" look. Not to mention that if Medusa needed a father for the child in her experiment, she would want someone who is really powerful, like a Deathscythe, and all she would have to do is walk into the cabaret(or wherever he hung out at eighteen) and talk to Spirit for like.... ten minutes. Soul also is able to feel when Crona is injured through the Black Blood, likely helped along by the fact that he is compatible, you could say, with Maka. Maka and Crona's similar wavelengths resulting from their relation would explain their quick friendship.
Advertisement: Maka's mother is a Witch Probably not evil, since she has custody of Maka and no mention of any problems there. Witch genes helped Maka command the Black Blood when she and Soul get infected. Also helps her to "synchronize" with Crona's soul.
Stein is Crona's father I dont remember reading or watching anything that showed how LONG Medusa has been associated with the school. She could have been enrolled in it while going through witch training as well. During this, she could have formed a relationship with Stein which lead to a pregnancy at an early age, similar to Spirit and Kami having Maka at 18. She then managed to keep the pregnancy a secret from Stein. Their relationship could have ended around the time of Crona's birth, eventually leading to her leaving Stein's life only to come back years later to be a nurse at the school.
Noah is Crona's father. I have no why's. Other than it would amuse me.
The Kishin is actually Crona's father. Medusa is not only a witch, she is a witch scientist. And she had Black Blood, and in Blood there are bloodcells- and DNA. She could've created a baby from that DNA and her own DNA. Besides, look how much they are similar.
Orochimaru is Crona's father Like Medusa, Orochimaru is a snake-themed Mad Scientist, and he became interested in her experiments with black blood and agreed to help her with them. Part of said help was siring a child to use for the research.Marluxia is Crona's father Crona doesn't resemble Medusa at all, but he does have long pink hair and blue eyes just like Marluxia's.Szayel Aporro Granz is Crona's father Like the above two examples, Szayel is a scientist and swordsman to boot, and he has pink hair.Ragnarok is Crona's father Makes as much sense as the theories above. Why not?Tsubaki's Father is a Death Scythe and a far more powerful Demon Blade than either of his children. C'mon, Tsubaki comes from a long line of weapons and her father seemed just to cool to /not/ be a Death Scythe or at least have some future roll.
Excalibur was the first weapon.
Autonomous weapons are weapons who have automatic weapon forms. Other than the fact that they're autonomous, meaning they can fight well without a meister, Justin and Giriko seem to have nothing in common. However, both the chainsaw and the guillotine work automatically. Well, the guillotine doesn't exactly work automatically, but the power behind doesn't come from a human wielding it. It's power comes from gravity, while the chainsaw's comes from the rotation of its blades.
Autonomous weapons are weapons that can't practically be used by a meister An alternate theory to the above: It's not that Justin and Giriko work automatically is why they don't have meisters, it's because meisters are unable to wield them. Almost all of the weapons seen are things that are made to be weapons (pistols, swords, etc) or things that are not necessarily meant to be used as weapons but have a long history of being used as them (survival knives, scythes, etc). Justin and Giriko transform into neither of these. Yes, there's the trope Chainsaw Good, but the Surprisingly Realistic Outcome portion of that page show why a chainsaw would make a remarkably awful weapon. With Justin, even the most skilled of improbable weapon users would have issues making a guillotine work as an offensive weapon reliably. Because of this, the only choice they had was to learn to wield themselves.Death the Kid doesn't actually have a mother Despite appearances, Kid isn't human in any way, shape or form. He's a god/junior anthromorphic personification.Given that Shinigami-sama is stuck in Death City, it's not too much of a stretch to assume that the universe was in need of a mobile death god or maybe just as insurance in case anything happened to the current one, and in response to this Kid just sort of came into being. As for why he's, well, a kid, Death should really have a certain amount of compassion and be able to understand exactly what his role means to the mortals that he's responsible for, and what better way to do that then for him to have a human (or close enough) life first?
Kid was reproduced by Shinigami-sama budding. The asymmetry must have driven little bud Kid insane.When one Shinigami has a child and that child gains enough power, that Shinigami will die and pass on the rest of his power to his child. This isn't as far-fetched as it sounds. It's been shown that when Kid activates his Sanzu lines, Shinigami-sama is aware of it. In fact, it's even possible that the activation of the Sanzu creates a link between him and his father, drawing on power from him to fuel his attacks. Thus, the anime aside, it's possible that the more power he generates, the weaker Shinigami would get. If Kid really is a "fragment of Shinigami", or some kind of cloned offspring, the entire point of it would be to pass on the power of the Shinigami once he gets too old. Don't forget, as powerful as Shinigami is, he can still be beaten and possibly killed. Having a son would insure that the world would still be protected.
Spirit is not really Maka's father, Shinigami is. Only three people in the world are known to be able to use Kishin Hunter; Kami, Maka and Shinigami. Now, what Shinigami says in Episode 37 after learning Maka has used the anti-demon wavelength/Kishin Hunter, is something akin to her having inherited it from her mother. However, how Kami got this power and how much genetics are involved is left open. It's possible that, either before Kami met Spirit or perhaps some time after, perhaps in response to one of Spirit's cheats, Kami turned around and either cheated on Spirit to spite him or was romantically involved with Shinigami before meeting Spirit. This union consumated in two things, which was a "passing" of certain things from Shinigami to Kami, including the Kishin Hunter, and a child, which was Maka. Kami either then passed Maka off to Spirit as their child from one of their acts if you go the cheating route or simply met Spirit later and became romantically involved in him, and he just treats the child as his own, Which might explain why he feels such a need to feel like Maka's father and be respected/liked by Maka as such. Also, while less factual, Shinigami seems to act friendlier to Maka than the rest of the Meisters, though that might just be my opinion. Also, please note I have not finished the manga, so this may have already been Jossed.
Death The Kid doesn't have a mother. He's referred to as a "fragment" of Shinigami-sama by the Great Old One. The completion of his Sanzu lines seems to be dangerous to Shinigami-sama, but not to Kid himself. For reasons yet to be explained, Shinigami-sama created a "son" for himself out of his own being, allowing him to experience the familial bonds nearly all of his friends know and create a successor. When Death The Kid's Sanzu Lines hit their completion, he will re-integrate with his father and become the new Shinigami, his father's persona vanishing in the process.
Shinigami is actually Maka's mother Sounds like crack, but it's too much fun to ignore. Think about it: Her mother is normally referred to as 'Kami' (God). Shinigami (death god) is spelt 'gami' and not 'kami' because of the 'shini' bit, but it is still 'kami' at the core. There is also the fact that Kami is never seen on-screen or heard from off-screen. No pictures ever come up either. Add in the fact that Spirit is Shinigami's main weapon, and we're in buisness. Plus, can you say 'Shinigami CHOP!'? Add a book.Kidd and Maka are half-siblings sharing the same mother You know nothing about Kidds and Makas mothers, so maaaaaybe they could be the same person. Would coincide with Kidds reaction towards Noah's plans on her, so he probably knows. Maka may know or not.
Death the Kid's OCD came from trauma of seeing and/or causing his mother's death. ...I have no 'why's.
A rather odd theory on how Kid was conceived. Feeling that he needed a heir, Shinigami-sama temporarily took on a human form and had a one-night stand with a mortal woman, quickly impregnating her. After that, said woman didn't knew that she was carrying the child of death until the morning of February 2nd, when she started feeling a strong pain in her womb and had to go to hospital immediately. The child, a seemingly healthy baby boy, was conceived successfully, but the mother died in the process and therefore didn't get the chance to see her child. However, Shinigami-sama took the baby as his son, claiming him with Shinigami abilities and giving him a perfectly fitting name... Death the Kid.
Kid's mother is another Death Scythe. It would explain why she's not around; she's probably off doing IMPORTANT DEATH SCYTHE THINGS.
Ragnarok is Crona's dad(but maybe either his memory is deleted or others...) "Luke, I am your father"..."NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Dr. Stein is Maka's father. And Maka's mother is one of the only ones who know it. And maybe Stein knows it too and is pretending not to know it. This is just based on the premise that Maka looks like Stein more than she does Spirit. Still, we don't know what Maka's mother looks like, but one would expect that she inherit some of her dad's physical traits. (And Maka's blaming her dad for playing around. Unless the incident of the pregnancy happened before they married.)NOTE: This assumption would clearly apply only to the manga, as Maka genetically inherited Spirit's weapon powers in the anime.
Spirit's Urban Legend Love Life is due to him and Stein attempting to keep their relationship a secret Kami was just a beard that spiraled a bit out of control and/or Death Scythes are expected to have an heir and when Maka ended up not being a weapon, their pseudo-relationship dwindled. All those women people thought he was running around with? Yeaaaah... This also explains why the girls in the cabaret club know he's just going to whine about his life rather than do anything and why both Medusa and Marie keep getting shot down.
Liz and Patty are fraternal twins But like in most scenarios of twins, the one born first considers themselves to be the older sibling, which Liz chose to do early on, and Patty just went with it.
Soul's Grandma is a Death Scythe She was a weapon and the only reason no one has pointed it out is that Soul entered Shibusen under a false name
Chrona and Kidd are siblings. Shinigami-sama is Chrona's father; Medusa is Kidd's mother. Medusa ended up having twins, one inheriting the father's shinigami qualities and the other inheriting her own witch qualities. She had wanted to have a child shinigami to experiment with, but ended up keeping the wrong child through some accident and made do with what she had. This is also why Medusa's so nervous when she goes with Spirit to meet Shinigami-sama face to face: the last time she was with him in a context besides school nurse, she seduced him. Squick.
Maka is bisexual. I don't know, maybe it's just my opinion. But either way, she has both of a lot of Ship Tease with Soul (I don't mind) and also some Les Yay with Tsubaki and Crona (kind of). Also, when in chapter 72 everyone had their genders switched after getting inside the book of Eibon, she was turned into a feminine-looking boy- and she did have a nosebleed when she saw the succubus. I do realise that it could be because of the Gender Bending... but then again we may never know.
Maka's mother isn't the one sending her those cards. This only applies to the anime as no contact between Maka and her mom has been established in the manga. Her father, or maybe one of the Shibusen staff, is sending them. Her mother is really either dead or has cut off all contact. Perhaps initially Spirit did it to stop her being upset (he's done sillier things), then they kept the charade going to prevent one of their more powerful meisters from having a Heroic BSoD, Face–Heel Turn, shouting at her father, or any of the other potential consequences of the truth getting out.
Spirit is a chaste flirt. His and Kami's divorce was for different reasons entirely, but Maka wasn't clearly informed, or she doesn't want to believe her mother had a part in it. So instead, she focuses on said father's flirting, citing it as the only reason for the divorce, and rejects him entirely. This would sorta explain Spirit's Urban Legend Love Life.
Spirit the current Death Scythe isn't cheating on Maka's mother He's pretending to, either to intentionally drive away Maka's mother to protect her from something; or else she's in on it to (even the divorce proceedings!) and it's to protect Maka from realizing...something. If he is a philanderer, he's the worst one ever; as it's an Informed Attribute. All he ever does at Cabaret Houses is talk about Maka and her mother; said Cabaret Houses are used to this.
Spirit was Kami's trophy boyfriend Girls wouldn't keep falling for those lines if Spirit wasn't attractive, after all. Kami must have planned a way to get Spirit for herself.
Crona is a girl Evidence:
Crona is a boy Evidence:
Chrona is a "blank" Or maybe a hermaphordite. Going with the "Chrona is a clone" theory below, Chrona doesn't really have a gender because s/he was created in Medusa's lab. Chrona's lack of powers other then the black blood and Ragnarok is due to his/her unstable sense of self.Chrona is female and Ragnarok is male. Now before you jump in with cries of no duh, dumbass consider the following. Chrona and Ragnarok are never seen apart. Now, that could mean that they are two entities in the same being OR they are one in the same. Ragnarok is stereotypically masculine (Huge Muscles, Comically Perverted and taking the form of a sword)) while Chrona is more stereotypically feminine (Pink hair, fond of dresses, likes cute things). Chrona and Ragnarok are the Male and Female halves of the same person. Chrona is male in the same way that Ragnarok is female. They are male. They are female. They are weapon and meister.
Medusa's experimented on a sane Chrona until he/she/it (whatever Chrona was originally) until they cracked and splintered into two personalities. The timid Chrona created Ragnarok as a powerful alter ego to endure Medusa's torture but his/her own self loathing created a weapon that hated its meister as much as he/she hated him/herself. Someday, someone will find out Crona's gender.... .... but then will be killed off before the info can get out to anyone else, including the audience.
Chrona is autistic. Even after becoming one of the heroes, Chrona has been shown having a lot of difficulty interacting with people or adapting to change. S/he also walks strangely and never makes eye contact. How severe hir autism would be is questionable; S/he behaves like a person with classic autism who developed verbal abilities. However, S/he would never have had much social interaction, so s/he may instead have milder autism, but was never able to practice social skills. I think that Chrona has verbal classic autism.
Crona has no gender/sex She identifies as gender queer, was never given a gender by her parents thus does not think of one, or is intersexed."Noah" is a Noah The fake Eibon He's got a tan, a snazzy dress sense, arcane knowledge, the right level of insanity (probably even before the Kishin got loose), and is apparently good at fooling humans and non-humans alike.Crona has no gender. Mosquito is an abandoned sire of Alucard He may have survived for 800 years, but it'd take more then a magic book to kill Alucard.
Shinigami-sama and Eibon had relationship similar to Dumbledore and Grindelwald How similar has yet to be determined.Arachne is the/an Other Mother She's just more effective.
Medusa really is concerned about Chrona In the same way Mayuri is concerned about Nemu - while she probably doesn't see Chrona as her child, she is hers - her creation and experiment - nonetheless.Chrona is Medusa's clone You don't really think Medusa would go through the trouble of seducing a man and waiting nine months just for a test subject, right?
Chrona has become a Kishin As seen in Chapter 65 Chrona appears to be undergoing some sort of ritual, possibly to become a Kishin.
Medusa is not Chrona's mother. I mean we only really have her word to go by and she is a chronic and competent liar.
Medusa really is a kind woman, she's just a well intentioned extremist gone off the deep end. She does love Chrona, and does genuinely care for others, but due to reasons probably involving a horrifying tragedy in her past, possibly involving Kishin, she works along side them and does horrible things to find their weaknesses so that she may destroy them for good. She's actually raising Chrona to be a weapon against the Kishin. Unfortunately, she has gone insane during her research due to guilt and exposure to madness, and hardly remembers her past self. Someone from her past will then fight her to remind her of her true self, and she will spend the rest of the series repenting, and trying to fix Chrona's issues.
Medusa's plan is usurp Arachne as head of Arachnaphobia But Noah and the third Gorgon sister are still Wild Cards.King Arthur was one of Shinigami's Eight Legendary Warriors Three guesses who his partner was (Excalibur! Excalibur! From United King! I'm looking for him! I'm going to California!)The third Gorgon sister will be a little girl. And she will be peaceful, wise beyond her years, and an absolute badass.
The third Gorgon sister will be the final Big Bad in the series. There has to be a reason we haven't seen her yet.
The last Gorgon witch is dead... And Spirit and Kami killed her, which is how he became the strongest Weapon barring Excalibur. That's why there's very little talk about her in-story, there's not much else to say about a dead witch. The reason I think this is because it's so simple that there just HAS to be some truth to it.
The final Gorgon sister is an Owl witch. Notice the trend with the first two. Both are females associated with Athena (Athena was a notable weaver; So was Arachne. Medusa's head is sometimes pictured on Athena's shield.) I personally choose to believe her name will be Metis and she'll use feathers and glasses as a motif.
The third Gorgon sister was Actaeon... until she was killed by Arachne and used to create the Nakatsukasa weapon. In Classical Mythology, Actaeon was a mortal (and, um, male... but bear with me here) hunter who spotted Artemis bathing, decided to stay and watch, and was transformed into a stag and consumed by his own dogs for his trouble. So it would fit the theme of “mortals transformed by gods as punishment.� Further points of interest:
Blair really is a Witch. Even Shinigami-sama commented on her being a witch when they were watching via magic mirror. Blair being a cat doesn't exclude the possibility, as we've seen Serpent, Snake and Mouse witches. Also, we've seen that other witches have the ability to shapeshift into thematic forms. The cat soul (which is red/purple like Kishin Eggs!) she left after Soul "killed" her was just a decoy. Shinigami-sama and the other Death Scythe don't mind her existing, though, as she's not really evil. (Shinigami-sama knew that Black* Star refused to kill the child witch Angela, for example, and seems to have approved.)
Blair is a former witch's cat Lets face it, she must've learnt it from somewhere. Her powers might even be due to her being used as a guinea pig during her kitten-hood (this is not a source of angst due to her being, well, Blair).Kim is being set up for a Heroic Sacrifice. By letting Kim stick around, Shinigami has made sure the Spartoi have a witch handy who's indebted to the good guys. If worse came to worst, she might sacrifice herself to let one of their Weapons become a Death Scythe. (Who knows whether the 99 evil souls are all necessary, or just a nice big number to make sure the Meister is fully trained?) Nobody else has even thought about this, but Shinigami has — and he hopes it won't happen, but a little insurance never hurts, right?
Tsubaki becomes a Death Scythe by eating Angela's soul.
Kim is spying on the Witches Assembly, which will act eventually We saw her at the assembly meetings before her being a witch became common knowledge. Shinigami didn't keep her around just to brainwash the 'sway of magic' out of Angela, he did it because he can use her to find out what his enemies are up to. Just because the Witches Assembly hasn't done anything of note yet doesn't necessarily take it out of the picture. The Queen's intention, after all, is for them to act as a group and not singularly as two of the Gorgons did; she was waiting to see what transpired. Smart woman. Unless, of course, the author has forgotten them as a potential...fifth side in this messy conflict.There's a specific reason why there are no male witches (i.e. warlocks) that isn't genetic. Either every time one is born they're slaughtered because the witch society is against men for anything other than mating, or like the Gerudo, one is born every X amount of years and they become the automatic ruler of the witch society. The head witch- I can't remember her name, sorry- wanted to keep her power and not give it away to some man, so she put a 'law' in place hat any male witch born was to be killed.
There will be a truce between Shibusen and the witches (in general) against the Big Bad. I mean, come on, every substantial villain this series has seen easily poses (or has posed) a threat to both sides. So for an all-powerful, all-threatening force to surface, it would only be natural for two rival groups to set aside centuries worth of manslaughter on both sides to team up and fight a common enemy.
Medusa will be the true Big Bad in the end She's clearly an Evil Counterpart of Shinigami; Witch vs. Death God that hunts witches. She created a child which she experimented on and abused horribly, he created a child which he treated with some degree of love and care (we assume) but kept in the dark about his true nature and (to a degree) powers. She wants to create a demon weapon, he wants to create death scythes...Shingami is evil Just because he apparently appointed himself ruler of the world and protector of balance, doesn't mean he is good I mean it looks like he put out an extermination order out on the witches even five year-olds like Angela or people that were not confirmed as being witches like Blair.
Kidd was created to make Shinigami more human A continuation of the rebuttal of the above guess: Kidd was asexually created by Shinigami to make him more human. Its the reason both for the asymmetric hair lines, and how Kidd's power up seems to drain Shinigami. They are truely one being, thus one "energy reservoir". Kidd will live as a human, and then eventually be re-assimilated into his father, changing the latter to be more human.Regarding Lord Death's body.. I'm thinking maybe his soul is bonded to that weird-looking appearance, much like Alphonse from Fullmetal Alchemist
Death's room in the DWMA is his Mental World So the room with the mirror Death usually hangs around in appears to be some kind of strange infinite Bigger on the Inside violation of geometry, one bearing an oddly minimalistic appearance and loaded with symbolism related to him. It's rather strange really, the only other places like it in Soul Eater are… stuff like the lake inside Tsubaki's head, or the desert/beach in Crona's.
Death the Kid will finally confront Shingami Because come on, Kid's been trying to figure out everything on his own, and probably would have continued on this track had his very own existence not been questioned. After most likely some form of a Herioc BSOD, or maybe even during it, he'll finally demand answers of some form. It would be cool if he did it in front of all his friends, but doesn't really matter. Whether Shingami responds, however...
A shinigami "dies" when he has a successor It means Shinigami-sama would "die" (or whatever that happens to a Shinigami) when all of Kid's Sanzu Line connect and he will turn into a real Shinigami. That can explain why Shinigami-sama fell over when Kid's Sanzu Line connected, and why Spirit looked so morbid.
Shinigami does have a human form Mosquito's comment about adult shinigami having full Sanzu Lines makes this at least possible. Alternatively, he had one but lost it as he aged. Kid's been shown battered and bleeding plenty of times, but when Brew did its stuff he started looking less human and more like his father what with how those skull-arm things were working.Kid's Sanzu Lines won't kill Shinigami While the chapter where Shinigami reacted to Kid's Sanzu Line...thing did leave the strong impression that the Lines are going to be fatal for Shinigami, it's not necessarily the case. For the simple fact that Kid already has half of his Sanzu Lines. All he's missing is the second half that will complete the lines when he's a mature shinigami and not just, well, a child like Mosquito said. So, when this happens Shinigami will lost whatever traits correspond to the second half of the lines and be in a state similar to how Kid is now; fast, strong, damn tough with a Weapon, but not as powerful as a 'true' shinigami. They will, in other words, trade places. Shinigami isn't bothered because replacing him is why Kid is around in the first place and because he's Shinigami and he doesn't angst or mope much. His Death Scythe, on the other hand....
Eibon's full name has been revealed. It is Eibon Shinigami. Kidd misread the name plate, and the Witches never realized the truth. It isn't Eibon and Shinigami. It is Eibon Shinigami. His first name written in a personal style, but Shinigami, the family name, written in the traditional family style. Here is the evidence for this conclusion:
Manga spoilers: The Great Old Ones are manifestations of different "flavors" of Madness Not really much of a WMG, really, given that the thing in the Book of Eibon more or less spells it out, describing the Great Old Ones as existences that "drive men to madness," specifically mentioning "order", "knowledge", "power", "rage" and "terror". He also mentions that only five of the eight great old ones are still alive: Himself (Power), Death (Order), Eibon (Knowledge), Ashura (Terror) and Excalibur (Rage). The other three are unknown, having been devoured by Asura.I mention all this information to lay the groundwork for this WMG: Death the Kid's new upgrade will be to use the new "Madness Fusion" technique It makes sense in a way. We've already seen both Medusa and Justin use it, using the clown, which is an actual embodiment of insanity. The author isn't just going to let a new skill like this appear once and once only. However, the reasons I think that this is possible for Kid and Kid only is that:
If he does get the ability, it will probably let him power up several of his moves, or simply Liz and Patti. It might even let him develop some shinigami skills that should have come with age or proper training, or may allow him to force a similar reaction with his Sanzu Lines as the Brew did. Chances are he'll be snapped out of whatever he is in when Spartoi finally find him anyway, but it would be a really cool way to come back into action. Even if it is a one off of regaining his sanity whilst he's in his state, just to see him use some skills of controlling his madness rather than pushing away like everyone else would be kind of neat. Noah is a creation of Eibon Or perhaps more indirectly, a creation of the Table of Contents. It wishes to teach humanity (revealed in ch82) and created Noah to fulfill it's goals by as of yet unknown means. It can resurrect Noah again as different personifications of the Sins. The first Noah was the Noah of Greed, who wished to collect everything, and the new Noah is the Noah of Rage (the TOC called out "Statue of Rage" when resurrecting him). This new Noah's ambitions probably accord to his sin.
Noah is really the Kishin, Asura. lI typed this one up a while ago; I think it's since been Jossed, but I like it, so I'm posting it anyway. Here's the evidence, accurate up to Ch. 60 or so:
Asura's weapon partner still exists He's still got the weapon itself in his throat - Asura uses it against Shinigami - which means that the weapon could be freed from Asura's body. Granted, the poor weapon's mind is probably shot to hell with madness by now, but there's no reason he or she can't make an appearance anyways.
Asura (and possibly his first fight with Shinigami) caused The End of the World as We Know It This is why the sun and the moon look messed up as well as all the wildly varied settings in one world, complete with people even forgetting who King Arthur was beyond a wielder of Excalibur, thus the series actually takes place in a rebuilt After the End. As to how the world was rebuilt, possibly Shinigami, as a personification of Order, was able to rebuild ALMOST every... As he remembered. It's possible there were other places not as badly damaged by everything, leaving strange gaps and anachronisms.
Eibon is connected to Ashura, and one or the other might be Death the Kid's other parent. Compare Death the Kid's hairstyle that is genetically kept that way, see when he admits to haveing tried dying it in the past, to Ashura/Kishin's. With the lack of another parent it would seem either Ashura is the other parent or someone linked to him. Eibon is only thrown in as Death's father had a connection to Eibon and it would seem strange for Death the Kid to have two fathers assuming Ashura is also male.
Kisin are created by invoking Loners Are Freaks Shinigami basically says that Asura became evil because he was scared of being betrayed. When he appears after being revived he basically freaks out at being naked (or that's how I interprited him screaming at the only humanoid female present and improvising clothing from his own skin anyway) and Aracne may have controlled him briefly with The Power of Love, even though he didn't trust her. The only other character we see being this painfully shy is Chrona; a potential Kisin candidate. Furthermore there's Masamune, also on his way to becoming one (who became evil "because he was lonely" Well, that and sibling rivalry). Also, notice how in the anime Ragnorak was forced into Sleep Size Mode by Chrona's Heel–Face Turn, implying that Chrona was actually weakened by The Power of Friendship. Oh, and what causes eveyone to worry Black* Star might be headed this way? Training on his own and having trouble working in a group.
Spirit will go mad (sort of) Okay, silly, I know, but I like it for the lulz and/or potential Nightmare Fuel. Think of it: insanity is contagious, and Spirit has spent plenty of time around people who are either insane (Stein), or tackling insane characters alongside those who are hardly normal or particularly stable themselves (Shinigami). We know also that insanity can be transmitted from weapon to meister through soul resonance. If we assume the reverse is true, then Spirit has been exposed to Stein's madness for years. Why has there been no ill-effects? Well, because as we're shown and told, Spirit has a knack for controlling soul wavelengths (and becoming a Death Scythe only heightens this skill). If Stein can adapt his soul wavelength to compensate for his own madness, then why not the Weapon who is tasked with controlling the "hedonistic sadist" in the first place? Evidence that he is somehow affected by Asura's release; none, even at the time, he only noted the wavelength's existence. But...WMG, anyway?Justin Law is a spy for Shibusen, and his crucifix is his communication device. Remember, right before the fight with Stein and Marie, how he kissed his crucifix and apologized for the sins he was about to commit? Maybe he was talking about causing the people close to him anguish and the like, rather than betraying Shibusen - remember, he thinks that Shinigami is Jesus Christ, so I don't see him betraying his own God that easily, especially seeing how he's a Christian and all that. And remember how he took off his earplugs to listen to Kid's screaming? Maybe Kid was actually speaking in code about what he had seen in the book of Eibon, and Justin needed to take off his earplugs, since he couldn't read lips that he can't see.Alternatively,Justin is actually a Non-christian. It's the perfect disguise: Who would suspect the priest?
Justin Law's cross is also his iPod Just because.
The Clown, Justin Law and now Giriko are all working for or with Eibon/Noah. When forced to retreat by Marie and Stein, Law uses a piece of paper to escape, by being sucked into it and disappearing, much like how Eibon/Noah has been shown to capture things inside his book. This was a spare page of the book, which allowed him to teleport to his new partner/master's location.That thing on Giriko's nose that looks like a snore strip... ... Is an actual snore strip. If he doesn't wear it he'll buzz like a chainsaw, even when he's awake.
Giriko, in some previous incarnation, killed a witch We already know he's at least as powerful as a Death Scythe, and he's perhaps the most creative of all Weapons when it comes to using his Weapon form on his own in battle; armour, transport, various attacks. The others can manage blades and chains on occasion but not very much. We're told by Marie that changing one's Weapon form is a basic thing for a Death Scythe. Giriko having eaten a witch's soul would give another explanation for his style of combat, and the fact he stood up to Justin however briefly. He's a Death Scythe in all but name. Given that it'll be doubly interesting to see how his fight with Soul turns out. He's got more experience, more versatility, Soul's got 'courage' in a chapter which involves apathy.Maka will be the one to kill Free Or more accurately, she's the only one able to kill him. Maka has the anti-demon soul wavelength, and there's been all of ONE injury we've seen free not recover from... when Maka cut off his tail with Hunting-Witch. With the power of her soul wavelength. Gopher might be able to do it as well.
Excalibur is not really that obnoxious Think about it: if YOU were the ultimate weapon, would YOU want a bunch of inexperienced teenagers just waltzing in and claiming you as theirs? Excalibur's song and dance routine is his way of testing potential meisters - only the most noble, bravest, and most patient warriors (ie someone with years of training and experience) can put up with him. Even with Hero, Excalibur made himself obnoxious on purpose via sneezing because Hero's motives weren't pure. Excalibur's wielders aren't heroes because they put up with him, they put up with him because they're truly heroes.
Excalibur is a Bone
Excalibur is the Madness of Rage That is why he was in the "Wrath" chapter. This perfectly fits his personality as well. Only someone who can not get mad at Excalibur through all his antics and provisions would be able to handle hia "Rage". He's the most powerful weapon in existence because he is the only (known) Great Old One who was a weapon, not a meister.
Manga spoilers: Excalibur is the remaining Great Old One He is insanely powerful, clearly not any normal being, has met Kid (and Black☆Star), and is certainly more than capable of driving people insane. Whether he has been sealed in his waterfall cave against his will, like Ashura was, or willing became a recluse for the greater good, like Death seems to be, I cannot fathom.If we take the "elements" of Madness the sealed GOO mentioned to be the remaining living manifestations — which, given that Order (Death) and Terror (Ashura) are of course, still alive, makes it seem likely — than I would posit that Excalibur would have to be Power. If not, and the elements the GOO mentioned weren't necessarily meant to describe the living Great Old Ones, though, than I say Pride would clearly fit better.
Excalibur is a parody of The Moomins. He looks incredibly similar to them. The joke about him wearing clothes yet not wearing pants has been mentioned around the Moomins a lot… and to top it all off, his voice actor dubbed Snufkin in the Japanese animation of them. Coincidence? I think not.Excalibur's "auto-resonance" with anyone results in automatic psychic emanations of disgust and rejection. People have thrown Excalibur away; regardless of their situation. This goes beyond "annoyance." When you live in a world of soul-consuming Eldritch Abominations; "annoying" wouldn't be enough to throw it away at every opportunity. (Which many have done while in the middle of being under attack by said monstrosities.) Whatever "override" that Excalibur has that allows resonance with anyones soul causes acute psychological distress. While it appears the soul "resonates" with Excalibur; resonating with an unknown entity without being "familiar" with it causes the mind to reject it. The "It's annoying" response is a self-defense cushion for the mind.Soul Evans will continue to grow in power and eventually become Vigilance Just a Rule of Cool WMG, but given how souls seem to be used as power sources in Soul Eater and in Soul Nomad the most powerful spell catalyst thingy is the Crimson Tear, the crystallized form of someone's soul i may not be too far off.Dr. Stein is Fran Madaraki's relative The only "enhancements" Dr. Madaraki made were her extra limbs.
Dr. Stein is this world's Gaius Baltar And with the help of HeadMedusa and Empathetic Weapon Marie he's going to lead a small country and start a hugely popular cult (and not let Spirit have any of the babes).All the witches are outlaws and rejects from Witch Heaven From the mini-anime Tweeny Witches. All the Big Bad witches would definitely have had to leave.Yumi Azusa is an older Yumi Ozawa. After the events of P4, Ozawa decides to change her lifestyle. She buckles down in her studies, enters student council, and starts grows out of her talkative, attention-seeking phase. Like so many others in Inaba, she eventually discovers she has a secret power; hers just happens to take a different form... One that Shinigami's interested in. She gets scouted, enters Shibusen, and many, many years later she's one of his Death Scythes.
Ox and Kim are Shout Outs to Hellboy and Liz Only the opposite: Ox is pure intellect while Hellboy relies on brute strength (most of the time); Kim's healing powers vs. Liz's destructive fire powers. Their "weapon's" elements - electricity and fire, respectively - are definitely opposites to Abe's element of water, and maybe Bob the Homunculus' element of (power-absorbing) stone and Johann's ectoplasm "air/aether".The universe in Ouran High School Host Club is the same as that in SOUL EATER. In addition to sharing the same animation studio, same director, and a few of the same voice actors, there are in-universe implication. The characters obviously live in a world equivalent to modern Japan and other parts of the world- and who's to say the characters in SOUL EATER are not sent on missions in the same world? The enemies that the Host Club encounter are souls gone bad, and will one day be collected by meisters!.Patty was Lilinette Gingerback in a past life. It would explain a great deal.
Spirit/Death Scythe is in someway related to Cat Valentine. They have the same hair color, and both are fairly eccentric. Nevada also is not far from Los Angeles. In fact, Spirit could be her unseen brother.The Soul Eater universe is in the same universe as Kingdom Hearts. They're both Square Enix-owned, and souls are pretty close to hearts. Besides, how awesome would it be to see Soul and Maka hanging out with Cloud Strife in Hollow Bastion in Kingdom Hearts III? That'd be a Moment of Awesome right away.
Soul is Brendan from Pokemon. Oh come on. Just look at the guy! And then look at the male player character from Pokemon R/S/E.
Stein is a cyborg. Stein's experimentation on himself escalated to the point where he began to replace parts of his brain with hyper-advanced machinery of his own invention. This increased his own intelligence and dampened his ability to feel pain. The downside of this was that it increased his already burgeoning madness, prompting him to install the bolt in order to keep his mind clear.
Taken further, Spirit Albarn (or Death Scythe) is adult Tamaki in the future. Tamaki graduated from school, became successful, went to the DWMA, married, had Maka, and then divorced. He then went a little bat-shit insane after the break-up, became somewhat of a ladies' man, and changed his hair color. In English, they're both voiced by Vic Mignogna. ...that wouldn't explain the different last names, though.
Yumi Azusa is really Yumi Ishiyama. She eventually moved to Death City, and somehow became a weapon and decided to enroll in the DWMA. I mean, look at her. Azusa dresses similar to Ishiyama, the hairstyles are fairly similar.. as for the last name, it could have been her mother's maiden name that she decided to take, and the reason she's called Azusa most of the time is because her father named her Yumi and she now has a grudge against her father like Maka does. She never mentions Lyoko because, well, she has to keep a secret.
Being A Technician, Weapon, or Shinigami can damage the mind Nearly every Technician or Weapon is mentally unbalanced in some way, ranging from neurosis to downright insanity. Meanwhile Stein is suffering the most from his insanity and is one of the strongest weapon technicians. Coincidence? I think not.
Maka is an ideal Kishin candidate; being a Meister/Weapon hybrid. While Kishin Eggs are simply corrupted souls who fed on Humans, the Kishin and Crona seem to be that way due to their fusion of Meister and Weapon. The Kishin ate the soul of his weapon, and Crona was created with Ragnarok inside her blood. Soul's experience with controlling the Darkness helps, but also the fact that Maka is the natural daughter of a Meister and a Weapon already gives her a huge advantage.
Certain aspects of Soul Eater are based on Rush's Fear Series. No really, go look at The Other Wiki page. It's not really that crazy. The first song (Part 3) is called Witch Hunting...what part of Soul Eater references that is obvious. Then there's The Weapon (Part 2), and not only does the name make it obvious, but it also the theme of it is somewhat touched upon in the series. Fear (as well as insanity) is used as a weapon against many people in Soul Eater. The Enemy Within (Part 1) deals with fear inside everyone, making us (or the characters) paranoid, worried, afraid and possibly insane. Finally, Freeze (Part 4), describes describes how people take on a fight or flight kind of idea towards fear, which the characters encounter almost constantly throughout the series. Makes sense, right?
The cost to the Meister whose Weapon Partner becomes a Death Scythe is their ability to Soul Resonance. The only Weapon Technician whose partner became a Scythe that is ever talked about is Maka's mother, who mysteriously isn't participating anymore. All of the others are mysteriously partner-less. One would think an accomplishment like that would have her more in thelimelight.
Shinigami-sama could now leave Death City. He was trapped in the city by a seal he set up to keep Asura trapped in his bag of skin. Except now Asura has left, so there's little reason for Shinigami to keep the seal around.
Marie Mjolnir is actually Liz and Patti mother. She had them when she was young and couldn't take care of them so she left them in Brooklyn.... She acts like an older version of Patti. Pretty light, yes, but possible.
Official Shibusen Weapons don't really "eat" souls. They just store them, and give them to Shinigami-sama to be purified. Thus Maka and Soul gave up their 99 when accidentally taking Blair's "spare" soul. Also when Death the Kidd took out the mummies in the Pyramid, he was forced to give up their souls to Shinigami-sama as "punishment" for damaging the architecture; implying no fusion takes place.
Soul is the only weapon that LITERALLY eats souls We've never seen Tsubaki actually eat a soul, and I believe (according to the anime at least) Liz and Patti load the souls into their magazines and then into themselves. This could also mean the 'Eater' part of Soul's name wasn't something he picked, but something everyone else nicknamed him as.Soul Eater isn't Soul's real first name. He comes from a wealthy family of musicians, and his brother's name is Wes. Who would name their children "Wes" and "Soul Eater"? Especially since it was before he discovered he was a weapon! His family is clearly rather messed up and Soul doesn't talk about them and went to Shibusen to get away from them, so it's not unlikely that he adopted the moniker "Soul Eater" to further distance himself from the Evans family.
Soul Eater, prior to coming to Shibusen, was a member in a family of wealthy Victorian Kishin worshippers. Hence his internal landscape has him wearing a suit; surrounded by luxury and a record player. This is also how he knows how to turn Madness into song and dance; and is very aware of the danger in doing so. His "dumb thug" persona at Death City is an attempt to distance himself from his roots. It's also why he hates his last name, Evans.
The remaining Death Scythes... Throwing a couple of semi-serious theories out there regarding the remaining Death Scythes (the Area Heads, we don't officially know how many Death Scythes there are).
Taking this one step further, might this have something to do with Death being bound to Death City? Heck, what if Death City is literally Death's soul turned inside-out. Marie is THE Mjolnir If Excalibur is any proof, weapons can live a long time (though this is Excalibur...). Marie is the oldest Death Scythe and Thor was the meister who got her there, eventually gaining enough legend himself to become a god.
Joe was Marie's first meister Another of the 'so simple it has to have some truth to it' ones. We at least know of the partners of most of the staff, and also that Marie and Joe had been in a relationship at some point. Perhaps that relationship began when they were in school, and they collected the souls which made Marie a Death Scythe. Then he left because his soul perception made it difficult to be with Marie (and possibly because he worked with Internal Investigations - he remarks its been a while since he's seen Spirit and the other staff). Marie ended up where-ever the Oceania Death Scythe is based with the intention of finding herself a husband and retiring.Death City is connected to numerous points in the Time/Space Continuum This is how the setting can go from Victorian London to a Japanese Ninja Village to Gangster Land Brooklyn to a modern-day Suburbia. San Dimas Time prevents Time Travel from being exploited, though.What would the Mizune sister's look like all combined, if the one that was killed by Medusa was still alive? Well, the age of their fused form seems to be affected by how many combine at once. The young-looking one in the Baba Yaga arc took fewer than the one that fought Blair (2 rather than three? I forget how many are left). The last, late sister would by that process make the combined form look older. While on the subject, I wonder if Eruka will eventually tell the rest of the Mizunes that Medusa killed their sister, not Shibusen. They're not, as far as we know, being forced into serving her like Eruka herself. Although, this being Medusa, it's quite reasonable to suppose she has some way of assuring their allegiance.Kid's "Skull arms" work in the same way as a Diclonius' vectors. During his fight with Mosquito, his arm gets chopped off. He reattaches it in a similar fashion as how Nana uses her vectors to control her artificial limbs. A parallel could be drawn between a Diclonius' horns and the Lines of Sanzu (both need to be complete for the "arms" to work). If they are the same, then both can be used in... destructive ways, and that would be AWESOME. However, if Elfen Lied is anything to go by, then Kid has a very bad future
Kidd Will Use BREW To Fix The World Okay, bear with me for a minute. It was stated (anime only) that BREW grants wishes based on the user's will. The greater the will, the more effective the wish. Everyone knows how obsessed Kidd is with symmetry, and way back in the beginning he stated that he wasn't interested in making sure good triumphed so much as balancing good and evil perfectly. At this point, it can be safely said that evil is taking over, and therefore the world is out of balance. Now imagine that Kidd's enormous obsession with symmetry could be applied directly to that imbalance. Whose will could be greater? It would also explain why Kidd is OCD. Shinigami did it deliberately to ensure this very situation.
The Great Old One is lyingMore specifically, it's lying if not about everything he's said than at least part of it. Even if the 'personifications of madness' thing kind of makes sense, it's worth considering that Kid is being lied to. Making it not an answer, but yet another little mind-screw would be...interesting. And Kid's the one looking for answers in a mad world, so some new menace screwing with him would be very appropriate.
"Insanity" is not the same thing as insanity. In real life, insanity does not equal violence, but the "insanity" in Soul Eater clearly causes violence, and is infectious. Therefore, one can presume that "insanity" is simply a word that Shinigami chose to call the infectious force that causes people to become violent. Actual insanity is unrelated.
The first missions/chapters/episodes were a test Each group got a test set by Shinigami to see how they would react.
Tezca Tlipoca's cloning/illusion ability Since we know virtually nothing about Tezca, and he's a mirror, it can possibly be assumed that he has some sort of reflection/illusion ability. Mostly backed up by a not-really-used-at-all Death Scythe being killed off in this way being sort of ridiculous. It's really jarring that somebody referred to as Shibusen's best tracker wouldn't take any precautions for the possibility of there being booby traps and just walk in unprotected in every way.Sid's zombification is a Chekhov's Gun. Same troper again. Anyway, I've always wondered why Sid ended up becoming a zombie. Stein doing it For the Lulz And For Science! worked back when Mad Scientist was pretty much all we knew about him but as of late, I no longer buy that. I don't doubt that he would turn Sid into a zombie for obvious reasons but these days, that "why" is looking really flimsy. Unless this is just a case of Characterization Marches On.
We will see what 'Order' is like... When it's not split between Kid and Shinigami. If I understand the GOO's claims correctly, then Shinigami created Kid to prevent him ending up like Asura. Kid clearly got Shinigami's more direct and...fervent order-enforcing tendencies in a form too young and weak to cause too much damage yet. The result was that Shinigami turned into the Cloud Cuckoolander everyone knows and loves/fears or at least are wary of (he told Asura it was to recruit kids so that Kid wouldn't be targeted). But because of this clear division between power and purpose both 'halves' of Death are at a disadvantage should they encounter of their own kind (GOO was only playing with Kid, Shinigami's not as good as he could be/was when he was more Super OCPD (or whatever fandom's calling it post-GOO)). At some point we will either see more of what Shinigami was like before he created Kid (i.e both the power of a Eldritch Abomination and driven to make 'order'), or (admittedly less likely) we'll see re-connection from Kid's point of view, and he will take on the original form of the madness of order. Which would be a shame to some extent because a) no Shinigami-sama and b)Kid should technically be different too if he takes on bits of his father's personality.The Table of Contents is Excalibur's long lost twin brother.. thing. Excalibur the sword apparently had a twin called Clarent, which was a sword of peace rather than war, which was stolen and used by Mordred to kill king Arthur. ToC could be that sword, which was stolen and sealed inside Eibon's book to become the table of contents there.]]Tim Burton will discover Soul Eater, fall in love with it, and make a movie. It already looks like it could have been made by Tim Burton. A Burton-produced Soul Eater film could be the best anime movie adaption of all time. Johnny Depp as Stein? I'd bet on it.
The main cast will harness the madness of The Great Old Ones.
Soul Eater will recieve an updated rerelease a la Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Little Demon is a symbol of Soul's father. We don't know much about Soul's family, but his father very well could have had overly high expectations of him as a child, like making him play the piano and stuff like that. He might have also possibly abused Soul, and now Little Demon is his way of remembering his father.]]The Anime will one day begin airing again And will use the All Just a Dream theory to reset the story from where the anime really began to diverge, rather than just the fight with Asura. Maka (or one of the other main characters) will be snapped out a madness induced hallucination. The character will rapidly forget what they saw in the dream and the story will continue on without any further mention of the Gecko Ending as an Animation Studio's Saving Throw.
Black*Star is the Hero! Of the Salvage arc, that is, and deliberately so. In a different kind of series, Black Star's Hot Blooded Idiot Hero-ness would undoubtedly make him the protagonist. Being set up as the only one to save a Brainwashed and Crazy Kid in a straight-up Defeat Means Friendship battle allowed him to be just that. There was no sympathetic Anti Villain to give unusual ambiguity in a shounen, no beleaguered Tykebomb whose own 'salvage' is looking increasingly unlikely. Black Star got to cement his Character Development while taking the stage in the role he always wanted, leaving everyone else in the dust (NB their fight specifically, Noah was more a group effort?).The fight between Black Star and Death the Kid put together the Hero and the Rival. There was talk of good, evil, and pithy speeches on purpose which were oddly long for this series' style of action. It was set up as being a climactic battle whilst patently being anything but, devoid of anything close to the significance one would expect in such a scenario. Nothing in Okubo's previous depiction of Kid and Black Star made this confrontation feel tense or even relevant, something which this kind of fight sure relies on for emotional impact (both in sympathy and rule of cool). And, more importantly SE's usual twisted approach to shounen was largely absent. Okubo pulls some crazy stuff recently, but this stuck out for being especially pedestrian. It read like a plain action sequence in a series which rarely fails to add something out of the ordinary to every single fight, be it a surprise ending (Mifune), a nod to backstory/foreshadowing (Mosquito), or the 'mundane' importance of Soul and Maka's memories (why get your powerups from righteous goodness when you get can it from...violin music or your BFF?). My theory on why Black Star vs Kid/GOO pulled out so many obvious shounen tropes? Okubo cast him as the Hero and wrote the chapters accordingly. Unlikely - most likely he did just fumble the 'dramatic final battle' thing - but it just seemed too shounen to be true. In the Anime, it wasn't just a punch that beat Kishin, but a Logic Bomb Kid was wrong about Death Scythes not being susceptible to madness His dismissal of Spirit's suggestion as 'nonsense' was unfounded, especially when Kid himself said he didn't know Tezca and we've not seen him interact with many Death Scythes or have any understanding of what they're capable of. Simply saying it's 'nonsense' without justifying it sounds too optimistic and impulsive; he simply doesn't want it to be true. Justin's fate, even if it is put down to his 'faith', suggests that being a Death Scythe alone isn't enough to resist madness. Moreover, Stein and Azusa's original estimate back in chapter 27 ('Daily Life') made it clear that potentially everyone is at risk - the only difference is how long it takes. Spirit remains silent because he knows Kid is wrong, but won't say anything because the alternative is so very bad (Death Scythes include Spartoi's friends, teachers, and parents) and he doesn't want to put Kid off or upset him.Shinigami and the Sanzu Lines Kid's attack against Noah (in flashy lights and big letters) indicates that he is aware that the Sanzu Lines draw upon his father's power, and that he cannot always rely upon it. So far there has been no suggestion that he understands what the activation sequences do from Shinigami's point of view. Fanon holds that they are a bad thing, based on Shinigami's reaction - first time, he collapses, second time his mask cracks - and Spirit's response of miserable silence on both occasions. The first time came as such a shock that even Kid didn't seem to understand it completely, and so it would be likely he didn't realise what it did to Shinigami. The second time, with Noah, Kid is very much in control and knows what he's doing with this 'killing intent', even apologising to Liz and Patti for the trouble of acting in such a way. Kid is hardly without empathy, so it seems very unlikely that he knows his Sanzu Lines are doing Shinigami harm and yet is not at all bothered by it. Either fanon is mistaken, or Kid is still underestimating what coming into his true Shinigami powers actually involves.The entire thing is the game of bunch of Cosmic Horrors Who have made playthings out of humans and witches, and created a few more - the Demon Weapons - to join it.
Naturally, the plucky kids will win this game, but it's interesting to look at the goings-on from a 'Cosmic' perspective now this whole Great Old One deal has been expanded on. Soul's real name is Salieri Evans. It's been mentioned that Soul is jealous of his brother Wes' superior musical talent, so having his real name be Salieri would be a good Meaningful Name (according to a popular urban legend, the composer Antonio Salieri was jealous of Mozart). Also before he went to the academy he could have shortened it to just Sal, and changed it to Soul apon entering the DWMA since it sounds similar to Sal (in a way) and because he wanted to seperate himself from his family. The Eater part of his name was added on after he started to make a habit of actually eating souls.The Uncanny Sword is the first weapon that was created by Arachne. It's been mentioned that Tsubaki's clan are direct descendants of the first weapon created by Arachne, and we know that all of Tsubaki's weapon forms were passed down to her due to the fact that she was the heir. However the Uncanny Sword despite its power was instead passed down to Tsubaki's brother. So it's possible that the sword was the weapon created by Arachne, and because of its origins the clan considered the sword to be too evil for their future leader to possess as one of her forms. But not wanting the sword to fall into the wrong hands they decided to give it to Tsubaki's brother instead (of course certain circumstances made it so that Tsubaki ended up inheriting the form of the Uncanny Sword as well).
Maka's issues in 'Salvage' were to do with her understanding of Soul Which she will ultimately solve, but it will come at a price. Remember that she only other character with soul perception as advanced as hers was Joe. His turned him into a Living Lie Detector, a skill so great that he left his girlfriend (possibly Weapon at the time?) Marie. Maka has already shown in the Baba Yaga arc that she shares Joe's ability to see through Soul Protect, so it's not unreasonable to think lie-detection is on the cards. Given how important interaction and understanding is shown to be in the series, it would be ironic for Maka - who is otherwise an exemplary meister - to 'solve' her relationship with Soul not through shared experiences, or feelings, or hobbies (music was the Book's take on it) but through reading the guy's mind. That would be fairly horrible. And amusing in context, but mostly horrible.Stein is Maka's Godfather. Just throwing it out there.
The series takes place in the same universe as Stephen King's novels. And Pennywise is a variation of the clown.There are three other personifications of madness besides the five we already know. There were eight powerful warriors, but only five of them were confirmed to be madness personifications so my guess is that the other three who were eaten by Asura were also personifications of madness.The DWMA will form an Enemy Mine with the witch's asembly against Asura. My only reasoning for this is that I think it would be awesome.
The Black Blood is coffee! Behold this link! It's thick and black, too much makes you crazy and I know a few people who probably bleed it.
The Series Big Bad I believe the Big Bad of Soul Eater will turn out to be Crona. My guess is that Crona's madness will peak and Ragnarok will eat Medusa, becoming a Kishin version of a Death Scythe or Ragnarok will eat the current Kishin Asura and become even stronger. I also have theory that Crona and Ragnarok's soul will perfect mix together and they will become one, likely bipolar, entity of pure madness. Say hello to Ragnarokrona(I need to think of a better name).
Maka's mother is the series' Big Bad What? It's not like we've seen her...The original witch was the madness of destruction The witches have mentioned how they have an uncontrolable desire to destroy (except Kim) which seems rather like Kid's instinctive desire for "order". If this is true, we would have already met the madness of law (Shinigami-sama), the madness of power (GOO), the madness of knowledge (Eibon), the madness of fear (Ashura) and the madness of destruction. Also, it would put a new spin in Arachne's plan of becoming madness.
Ragnarok hates Medusa as much as Chrona He's just too afraid to admit it. Considering she melted him into black blood and stuck him in Chrona's body, it's easy to see why. After being stuck in someone else's body for all those years (and probably associating the resentment toward Medusa with her child), he turned out a Jerkass. He may have planned on becoming a kishin and then settling the score with Medusa, but Maka kind of ruined that plan. Luckily, he gets better.Chrona and Ragnarok are Vitriolic Best Buds Their personalities clash a lot, and neither is happy about being in the state they're in, but deep down, they really do like each other. After all, how else would they resonate?
Shinigami knew Stein was experimenting on Spirit But because it gave the kid an outlet for his...unorthodox habits without actively killing anyone, he let it go on. When Spirit exclaims during the Medusa fight that it was his job to "control the crazy kid", he meant it. He's worked with Stein, and has good soul wavelength control.Between Spirit's skill and concern for Stein, and Stein using his Weapon as a test subject, Shinigami could keep a handle on a very effective meister who could cause untold damage if he ended up taking his abilities and intellect elsewhere. Thus, Spirit was something of a Morality Chain for Stein, and as such was not as effective in dealing with him as Marie has been, simply because she accepted him rather than tried to actively hold him back by taking him to task for breaking the rules. Spirit knows what Shinigami needed him for, and what it meant for him, but he doesn't like to think of it like that. So perhaps he ignored the scars he 'didn't remember getting' until someone else pointed them out.
Black Star's mother appears on screen Very briefly in episode ten, along with the rest of Star Clan. That's her in the head scarf.Any boyish/masculine traits that Chrona originally had were taken by Ragnarok It sounded funny, that's why.Chrona's gender will finally be revealed when someone Divides By Zero And then the world will explode.Excalibur and Ragnarok are actually related I know it sounds random, but hear me out. First of all, the two of them are both extremely powerful swords, and both are also notorious Jerkasses. Plus, neither of them really looks human. Also, they may be at least Shadow Archetypes of each other (or something like that); Excalibur is white, Ragnarok is black; Exalibur and Ragnarok can give their users/meisters wings (Excalibur did it twice with Hiro and Liz, and Ragnarok has been shown doing this with Chrona). Also, the two of them are both "stuck" in one place: Excalibur is stuck in his cave waiting for someone who's willing to put up with him, and Ragnarok is stuck inside Chrona as his/her blood.
Excalibur: I am your father. Black*Star's last name is... Uzumaki! Well, duh! Well, why not, right?
When Noah is gone for good it will get worse. Noah will die multiple times as he works through the chapters of the book. When he reaches the end it will let out the Great Old One.If Stein was capable of crossing over into other anime, no one would ever die. Look at what he did for Soul and Crona, the latter of whom was impaled. Evidently, the man is a miracle worker. All it takes is a single IV line and whatever-he's-doing-between-scenes and we wouldn't have lost Kamina.
There's a reason why Crona's gender is ambiguous Because s/he is a Moe Anthropomorphism of pure woobiehood! Really, you don't get much more Woobie than Crona. And The Woobie is neither male nor female, as gender doesn't matter if the important part is that this character evokes sympathy from you. It's a trope that disregards gender, so it's only natural that the walking incarnation of this trope doesn't quite have a specific one.Medusa was planning on Having another child Which might be why she was damn-near seducing Stein, even in the body of a little girl. Hopefully, she was planning on switching to Arachne's body first, if only to make it less squicky, but it's possible she was trying to conceive another child on whom to experiment. Especially considering how Chrona had made a Heel–Face Turn, she most likely caught on to hisnote And using "he" is just out of convenience, as I'm already aware that Chrona has no established gender becoming really attached to Maka and the others, and, out of necessity for proper "backup", planned accordingly.Kid is asexual Kid's mother has never been mentioned, and there's already theories that Shinigami-sama is asexual himself. But to add onto that, we never see Kid's female form. He doesn't even really go through the chapters of Eibon, he just goes into his little pit of madness almost immediately. Unlike most of the other members of Spartoi, most notably Soul & Maka, Black*Star & Tsubaki, and Kim & Ox, Kid doesn't have the least bit of romantic tension with anyone I think Kilik's female form was meant to be like Jackie's in a Pair the Spares Pair the Spares kind of way, nor does he seem the least bit interested in boys or girls.Kid does have the Madness of Order, and no one who's insane seems to really be capable of love Nygus did say that Stein wasn't capable of love, Stein told Medusa himself that people like him and her were incapable of love, and with the anime exception Arachne doesn't seem very loving either.
A Death Scythe's power comes from madness The requirements for turning a weapon into a Death Scythe is 99 Kishin Egg souls and 1 witches soul, both souls are influenced by madness and it has been shown numerous times that power comes from madness(It is the main reason humans become Kishin in the first place.). Also if the wasn't influence from madness, then there wouldn't a need for a strict number of souls required to become a Death Scythe.A weapon receives unique abilities upon becoming Death Scythe A weapon steals the abilities of the witch, who's soul they have eaten. I forget which chapter, but I remember a chapter where Soul uses Arachne's webs attached to his piano, so is it really a stretch to say other Death Scythes can't do the same?
Index is a fragment of Eibon Just like how Kid is a described as a fragment of shinigami by the Black Mass, Index was created by/from Eibon. The way Index phrases this makes it seem sort of possible—he has the same basic ideals as Eibon, but wants to express them differently, which is very similar to how Kid feels in regards to Shinigami's principles.Soul x Maka is Canon Chapter 69 is titled "Love Triangle", which doesn't make any sense since this is a No Hugging, No Kissing manga. However, Maka is clearly jealous when Soul gets love letters/partner requests, and when he comments that she doesn't get any because she lacks sex appeal, she says to himIn other words, all guys need is breasts and asses that are like whipped pudding! Female!Soul says basically the same thing to male!Maka in the Book of Eibon's first chapter (Lust) when she gets a nosebleed at the Succubus, who functions in that chapter as Blair's counterpart.Also, the Chapter of Lust also makes them look (and act?) the way the person they'd be most attracted to would. Like Soul, male!Maka is moody, quiet, and has spiky hair (s/he's dressed formally, but so is Soul when in his soul's room); Like Maka, female!Soul is bossy, cynical toward men, and flat-chested (that and female!Soul yells at male!Maka, when usually Maka is the one yelling at Soul).
Crona x Maka is Canon After all, you don’t need a gender to have love. They both clearly care a lot about each other (a point emphasized in the anime but also is reflected in the manga) and despite how short of a time Crona was with Maka, this doesn’t stop her from always thinking about Crona and risking her life numerous times to find hir.
Soul x Maka and Crona x Maka are BOTH canon Nobody ever speaks their feelings out loud, but it's clear that both Soul and Maka feel very strongly toward one another, as do Crona and Maka. Crona even says that Maka loves hir and Soul and Maka have grown touchy-feely over the course of the series, and the way Maka talks about Soul sometimes makes it seem like she's in love with him. Chapter 89 and up are likely to be Maka trying to choose between the two.
Soul is a younger version of Stein, Maka is a younger version of Marie, and Crona is a younger version (or clone) of Medusa (And Kid, of course, a younger version of Shinigami.) Thus, upcoming chapters will be Maka torn between sanity and insanity, like Stein was. It's a reversal since earlier in the manga and in the anime it was Stein battling between sanity (Marie) and insanity (Medusa), but it makes sense. Maka clearly cares a lot for both Soul and Crona, but she's also torn between following rules and doing what she thinks is right.Lord Death and The Kishiin were more than just Employer / Employee Please don't 'destroy me if it's been disproved in some episode after the one where Child Medusa goes to see the spider witch. They were lovers, and Lord Death loved The Kisshin's skin so that why he used a bag made of it, so he could just look down there with his special mirror whenever he wanted to.The entire school isn't just surrounded by Lord Death's soul He is so powerful that he can manifest his soul and change it's shape, so he did just that to repress the Kisshin, he placed his exponentially large soul on top of the burial place, and shaped it into a tangible fortress, that later became the DWMA.Lord Death created Kid to keep himself from going crazy. Since all of the manifestations of Madness seem to go...well mad, it would make sense that Lord Death would eventually as well. He created Kid (his 'fragment') to either split the Madness up so he's not all of the Madness or give Kid most of the crazy so Lord Death himself would stay sane. This would explain why Kid's obsessed with symmetry as a form of order while his dad isn't.
On the off chance the anime continues...
Chrona will be forgiven despite being marked for death If Shinigami's a being of pure law perhaps he would be willing to allow them to plead insanity. Or self defence, in the case of killin Medusa, since Chrona was for all intents and purposes an abused child.Chrona's gender confusion was part of Medusa's plans all along. In my interpretation, Chrona is a boy (the use of "Boku", "I don't know how to deal with girls", all these evidences were discussed erlier), but Medusa did many things to make him look feminine (the dress, obviously, and also, forced hormone injections could explain his feminine silhouette), and add gender confusion to the whole Madness and Black Blood stew that is the hell that Chrona's mind is. It makes sense if you think about it.Soul's Real Name Is.... Don, possibly short of "Donald" or "Donovan". Okay, hear me out here. Psychedelic Souljam, if you look at the lyrics, looks like Soul talking about general events of the series. "So it's me, Soul the Eater cook up the bad and enjoy the dinner... Needless to say I'm number one, with a bit of help from the Devilish one." Now, one of the lines is "Don't call me Don." If Soul changed his name, he must have had a pretty bad falling out with his family. Possibly, they wanted him to continue practicing music and forget about going to the DWMA. Also, who would name their kids "Wes" (maybe short for Wesley?) and "Soul"? Plus, in Soul Eater NOT, Eternal Feather cites Soul as an example of name changes.
Maka's mother's name "Kami" is not so much a name as a description or title... ...much like "Shinigami". She may represent Life/Gaia/Whatnot but is of the same class of being as Shinigami himself. That's the reason why Maka has special abilities. Kami is absent because she is running all over the world doing Shinigami's job as he is now tied down in Death City. After all, no matter how dangerous Asura is surely Shinigami can't leave the entire world undefended. Shibusen would have taken a while before its first cohort would have been ready for combat so that's not a viable alternative and Kidd is too weak at this point in time to take on Shinigami's responsibilities. Kami had a child during a lull period but departed Shibusen once this Indian summer passed. Also to get away from Spirit...
Crona will be the next Kishin. If you think about it, Crona acts nearly exactly like Asura did before he became the first Kishin. Afraid of everything, thinking that obtaining power is the only way to escape fear... plus they both have the Black Blood, and they both share a body with their weapon partner (though on Asura, since he and his partner Vajra are still essentially two seperate bodies, and Asura just swallowed Vajra, he didn't get infused with him). Crona certainly has enough madness and human souls to become a Kishin, but (I think this was the reason they gave) s/he just lacks the will. So, as soon as Crona gains this 'will'... BAM! Kishin. Also, I'm pretty sure Asura said (in the anime, somewhere near the end), "Even if you do kill me, the only thing that will result is that a new Kishin will be born." Am I the only one getting foreshadowing vibes out of all of this? Really?Chrona already is the next Kisin and is the one on the moon Maka was searching for them and just so happens to pick up the Kisin on the moon?With the amount of power they seem to have accumulated killing a death scythe and wiping out an entire town not to mention the personality changes that may well have come about from doing that and killing Medusa it wouldn't be surprising if Maka actually picked up Chrona's wavelength but mistook it for the Kisin's because of their increase in power.
Maka is fully aware of her weapon blood In the final episode she says something along the lines of "not wanting this power and having to hide it from the adults" (paraphrased).The suit Crona wore to Kid's party was Stein's It kind of looks like something that Young!Stein would wear, and I don't think Crona would have anything other than hir dress to wear to the party. So, it's a possibility that Stein loaned/gave it to hir.Death makes it so hard to become a Death Sytche because of how few he NEEDS, and wants to keep as many doing the grunt work as possible. Like an above WMG, Death makes sure as many students fail to become part of his elite squad of sythes. The reason? He only ever needs seven. While it appears that new demon weapons are a rarity on their own (it doesn't appear that there are more than 100 demon weapons enrolled in his school, plus another 100 miesters to use them). It appears his main seven have some degree of autonomy, with some of them outright refusing to come to his aid when the end of the world was at stake. The whole "school" is not for the weapon's personal betterment (although he does hope they become more powerful) he creates the illusion of progress to give weapons and their miesters, some goal to reach to. Setting them up just as an army, like his scary face, also wasn't a conductive way to bring in new students, who's parents refused in the fear their children were being "drafted." As a "school," he can attract their unique talents when they are young and easily reformable.Crona's gonna get better and pull a Simon at the last minute. While there's no telling if Crona's ultimate Level In Badass will result in ... them(?) becoming Manly or Womanly, it's gonna be a Moment of Awesome either way.
Medusa's Still Not Dead The woman managed to survive being cut in half, having her arms chopped off and being impaled. Whilst she has said she could only do it because of the Kishin's madness, isn't there madness all over the place now? Besides, she's been the chessmaster of sorts since day one, I doubt she'll give up now. Maybe I just feel like I've been denied of a good fight scene, but still... even if she does end up floating around as a ghost/spirit, the witch is tough as nails. She'll find a way to keep on going.
Clown Kaguya is a Brainwashed and Crazy Kami. Because it would be lulzy.Death, or Death the Kid who became a complete Reaper, will be cause of Justin's death This is based on chapter 69 when Tezka appeared in front of Medusa and Justin, and each saw a vision of Crona and Death respectively. Tezka did say stuff about him being a mirror that reflects people, and their death depending on the paths they take. Now that Medusa indeed died at hands of Crona, it seems likely that Justin will die by Death.Stein is Maka's mother He just got a sex change.
Crona's "dress" is made out of Black Blood As far as I can tell it never gets damaged. Not even when struck by Soul or Spirit in scythe-form. The black blood could feasibly protect skin, but not prevent clothing damage. This also explains why Crona always wears it (save to Kidd's party), and how Ragnarok can just pop out of it: it is Crona's blood. And Crona is shown to have some control over his blood (e.g. Bloody Slicer, Bloody Needle).
Maka, Ash from pokemon, and Eddie from House of Anubus are all related. What happened was that Peri Brown from Doctor Who and Mr. Sweet had a son named [[Spoiler: Eddison Sweet jr.]] Meanwhile, Spirit and Deliah were going to the DWMA together, and two years after Eddie, Maka was born. However, Being Spirit, he cheated on Deliah, and ,enraged, she went and had a kid four years after Maka was Born with Mr. Sweet and named him Ash. They get their powers from theri parents, too. From Deliah, Ash and Maka get soul perception/aura, from Mr. Sweet, Ash and Eddie get [[Spoiler:chosen one powers]], and from Peri, Eddie got [[Spoiler: egyptian curses]] due to the fifth doctor audios with the egyption chick.Maka's pupils are the result of her Japanese heriatage. Black*Star mentions at one point she's part Japanese. The only example we've really seen of a meister with odd pupils apart from Maka are the presumably Asian Azusa (when she's using her clairvoyance abilities) and Black*Star himself, who has Wingding Eyes when he's getting worked up (in the same way Maka gets pupils when she's angry/upset), something he apparently inherited from his father. If one line of Japanese warriors has this trait, why not others. Thus Maka's pupils could be inherited from relatives from a similar liniage (obviously this doesn't have to be the case, but hey; Chekhov's Gun), either partially (hence her pupils are just getting larger but not changing shape* Given she isn't blind, it can be assumed that her pupils are just small, not non-existant, when she isn't worked up.) or because her Japanese relatives actually have eyes like that (in which case, I'm also going to guess that we'll see some sort of scenes which parallel Black*Star being chased by angry mobs because of what his ancestors did, or at least a reveal where someone has the same sort of eyes; maybe her mother)Spirit Albarn is not a lecher, just lonely Spirit's perverted nature as stated elsewhere on this very page is merely an Informed Ability. What is confirmed is that he spends time at the Cabaret House talking about Make and his ex-wife. My theory is that since the day that he became "The Death Scythe, Personal Weapon of Shinigami-sama himself" he rarely got to leave Death City. Meanwhile, his wife Meister extrordinaire still has duties and missions to do and thus spends lots of time away from her husband. Spirit is noticebly immature and given one of the first things that I recall him stating about his wife was saving him from Stein's secret experiments, I think that he may subconciously have a need to be around women to feel safe from Stein. Granted he is still a professional and works with Stein whenever ordered to, but when speaking of Stein's experiments he gets a look of dread(if I remember correctly, been awhile since I saw the beginning) that not even Kishin managed to produce. As another WMG stated above, he was most likely assigned to Stein to keep him in check, but his growing fear of him made that less and less effective, which is why Marie is more successful in that regard, if he tried anything with her, she would punch him through a wall.His Ex-wife however, is oblivious to this and just sees him being an unfaithful lout when in reality she is the most important person in the world to him, with Maka being second. This troper personally hopes that when she-who-has-yet-to-be-seen makes an appearance, maybe there will be some reconciliation between them.
The Identity of the flavor of madness of the last three Great Old Ones... Love, loneliness, and chaos.
The series will end with 108 chapters Think about it. 108 is popular in manga and anime due to its significance in Buddhism and the series has already made one reference to 108 with Soul's class placement on his exam in chapter 12. This also seems more and more likely with each chapter with chapter 102 definitely starting towards the final battle.The Book of Eibon is a TARDIS
Somewhere out there, there is an embodiment for Life. One of the main themes for this series is balance. For Courage, there is Madness, for example. If that is the case, then there must be an opposite to Kid. Possibly a girl in green... Which brings me to my next theory...The cause of Kid's OCD is the way he grew up Think about it. If one grew up with precise knowledge that balance was essential to the world as we know it, and you were one of those children who had to keep said balance in check or risk the apocalypse, wouldn't that make anyone a little OCD-ish?Maka's mother will make her debut appearance as a follower of the Keshin I say this because we've never seen her and she never once comes to check up on her daughter, even after Ashura's escape. It gives the impression that she doesn't care about the epitome of madness escaping into the world. I imagine she'd be involved in the final battle of the series, and has to fight Spirit.
All Meister x Weapon pairings are canon. A natural consequence of having them be so emotionally linked.
Maka's mother will be introduced just when Maka's riding her father. Remember that the wings are from Maka and not Soul.Maka is secretly a Daddy's Girl. There is one person Maka trusts to set the standard for feminine beauty and this seems to be an easily achievable goal, however this guy not only doesn't hit on Maka, but also discourages other guys from doing so. Hence her angst.
The bad souls on Death's list are dead and have escaped from Death. That's why the kids are being sent after famous dead people.Three of the Eight Old Warriors are in fact War, Pestilence and Famine. Wouldn't be surprised to see Lord Death on Horseback.The Sacred Blacksmith was the world of 1K years ago. Maka will wield Soul like a hammer to smash the minions of Chaos flat. And then she'll collect all these Clown Cards, to be deployed safely out of reach while she's flying around.If Kid replaces his father he will not be the same Killing Asura and connecting all three Sanzu Lines may only mean that 'Shinigami' will be as he was before this whole mess started. And what we've seen of that is not terribly nice. No matter what his friends insist, a single 'fragment' like Kid is not going to have a say in the matter. I suspect what we're actually going to see is a triumph for the Power of Friendship for all concerned, and Kid's experiences as a child with regular, human friends will overrule him being an Eldritch Abomination. But the alternative just has to be thrown in there.
Kid will be overcome by Madness and join with his older brother Asura Just think about it; his shock and denial about Asura being his brother just go to show how much he believed his father, who he practically worships, would never willingly create Madness. When confronted by the fact that his father CREATED the first Kishin, he might just snap. More evidence by these facts: Kid desperately trying to justify his similar appearance to Asura, his unsureness of his father's motives and doubt, and Black*Star having to remind him that they were there to defeat the Kishin. Bonus for Kid's shaky answer, and the undoubtable fact that most of his teachers knew.Medusa is a Great Old One/Kishin... ...who took on the shape and powers of a witch for her own purposes. Specifically, she's the Madness of Despair; that's the best explanation of her Fragment's poetry.Blair will become Kim's familiar Medusa's next return will be with Voldemort and Orochimaru Orochimaru will revive Medusa with Edo Tensei while Voldemort will be ripped from Limbo by said Sannin. Together they will attack their homeworlds!Shinigami left his options open And hadn't entirely ruled out using the 'Madness of Order' to counter Asura's own 'Madness'. That was why he kept Spirit in the city, not because Shinigami expected to fight but because he needed the soul wavelength control of his Death Scythe to transmit his own 'Madness' across the planet. Kid didn't seem to think Shinigami was willing to do such a thing, but Kid thinks a lot of things... Not saying Shinigami would have liked the option, but just that he wouldn't have ruled it out had worst come to worst.Maka has been dead all along. Hence her blank "souless" eyes.Crona will regain control of Asura and use the black blood to somehow heal Maka At the end of chapter 110, before Asura impales Maka, we see a single panel of Crona, presumably from within the Kishin. This could be taken to suggest that Crona might be regaining some level of conciousness, and what better way for him/her to regain his/her senses than by seeing the first person who ever showed him/her any kindness get skewered? The black blood does have some established healing abilities, though I don't know if it can be used to heal others. I can hope, I suppose.
Asura won't be killed off, possibly because he can't be. It's never stated in the manga that Lord Death couldn't kill Asura, but given the revelation in chapter 108, I find it kind of difficult to swallow that he would willingly flay his own son alive, which makes me think that killing him just wasn't an option for some reason.Alternatively, Lord Death is a much bigger dick than we give him credit for.
Death the kid will marry Chiri Kitsu from Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei And all shall perish.Stein is the biological father of Crona. This isn't the first time Medusa has tried to seduce Stein, and last time it actually worked. For some reason, he doesn't recognize her, though.
Ragnarok is Crona's twin brother. Because where else would Medusa get a weapon?
In the final chapter, Black*Star is going to die.42 is an Arc Number, yes? But I'm not sure what an Arc Number is called when it spans both series.So go back to chapter 42, if you've read chapter 112. IF AND ONLY IF. I believe this is the chapter where Maka has a nightmarish flashback beginning with her standing with her father, seeing Sid and Black*Star for the first time at the DWMA. Suddenly, Sid, Spirit, and Black*Star all fall dead, and Maka is left crying.Stemming from this, I think Maka will lose it at the apparent death of her father.Unless, of course...
Nobody Can Die. Because spoiler for chapter 110: Death Takes a Holiday. That last thing in spoilertags was a link.Stein's screw is a result of an experiment. Stein: Getting the screw in was the easy part. But the hard part was getting the screw IN. HAHAHAHAHA! Stein and Marie's child is female And Franken Fran was a Soul Eater sequel all along.There will be a sequel There's far too many plot points open to leave them all hanging like this. To begin with: Crona, the Book of Eibon, the lasting effects of Asura's Madness, what happens to DWMA and the witches now, and the question of just how long the seal will last...Kid's reorganisation will take time, and not everyone will like it While it was a necessary move before he could even start considering an alliance with the witches, Kid's choice to stop the creation of Death Scythes will not go down well with everybody. There will be DWMA people who simply don't want to trust the witches, witches who take advantage of this arrangement to get revenge, who-knows-what other factions weighing in as a result of Shinigami's death. And the purely practical point that having what we now know are 'unfinished' Weapons simply won't be enough to combat the threats that still exist in the world, especially we've seen all of the Death Scythes. Not everybody is as good as Spartoi, that much is known. Kid has good intentions, and the sense to realise he'll need the help of the people who worked with his dad, but this may not go well for him.What happens to Crona at the end of Soul Eater?Maka begins to cry as she watches Crona slowly dying in front of her, but Crona tells her not to cry because they are final happy for the first time in their life. Soon after saying that, Crona is assumed to have died from the attack.
Does Crona come back to life Soul Eater?Compared to the manga, the tone of the anime is more hopeful and lighthearted, and as such, Crona's story ended in a way where she got the happiness that she deserved. After the Kishin and Medusa are killed and Arachnophobia has fallen, we see her back with Maka and Soul living a good life.
Does Corona become a Kishin?Kishin (鬼神, Kishin): The usage of "BREW" resulted in Crona's wavelength amplified in power to become a Kishin, evident in when they gained a third eye in the center of their forehead much like that of Asura.
Is Crona in Soul Eater not?There were a lot of memorable characters in Soul Eater and one of the most unforgettable was the powerful but shy Crona. While Soul Eater was a huge hit upon its release the anime series was cut short. Crona had one of the most unique personalities which was a very haunting addition to the often mysterious show.
