Soul Eater 14 ~ 26







DVD 3 -  Episodes 14 through 20
DVD 4 -  Episodes 21 through 26


Thoughts-   It did get better, a lot better.  I was a little disappointed with the whole "black blood in Soul Eater" thing, thought it was going to be some amazing thing and it turned out to be... a little madness demon in Soul Eaters head.  Meh.
      Of course during Maka's final battle with Crona it was useful, but all it did was turned her into a giggling, indestructible crazy woman.  That also got some major feels going on... poor Crona.  He/she has got to me by favorite character now.
   That was a bit of a shocker, Crona is Medusa's child that she melted down a sword and mixed it with the black blood. Then she injected it into Crona and attempted to make them into a Kishin.  What a terrible mother.   Enough with this...  Just some points from the episodes...


Episode 14 -  School days stuff, Exams and Maka attempting to get the top grade in class...Which she does.

Episodes 15 & 16-    Kid, Patty and Liz are investigating a Black Dragon that has been attacking people.
       * Turns out to be a boat carrying hundreds of human spirits all being ferried around by an evil soul.
       * There's another Kishin, no Crona. The Evil Soul tells Kid that it's closer to him then he realizes.
       * Kid Spazzes out, Lots of random stupid junk happens.
       * Crona and the Demon Sword show up, lop off the evil souls head and eat all the human souls.
       *  Kid trys to fight Crona, gets distracted by the beautiful sun...clouds...whatever.
       * Kid goes back to the Academy to ask his dad about this other Kishin.
       * Stein has figured out that Medusa is the Witch that was commanding Crona.
       * Stein sends Sid to her lab to look around, he gets blown up.

Episode 17 -  Excalibur!   Ox Ford, the smart guy from episode 14 that Maka was trying to beat out in grades... goes to look for Excalibur!  This episode was amazingly more amusing then the first episode Excalibur was in... he tells Ox of all 1000 of his provisions and then attempts to become his partner!
        Excalibur even sings!    Ox declines and hurries back to the Academy.

Episodes 18 thru 24 -   So, there's a Kishin under the school that Death locked away a long time ago. This is why Death can't leave the city and all that...  Things get a little darker here.
       Medusa, Eruka, Free, Crona and the Mizune Sisters attack Death City with the aim to awaken said Kishin by injecting it with the Black Blood.
      There's a party going on so, all the Meisters, Weapons and Death are in the same room. Using his Independent Cube spell, free traps everyone in the room... Sid {who isn't dead} manages to get the main crew out of the room in order for them to defeat the invaders.

Battles.

Stein & Spirit vs Medusa -  Medusa seems to have a "thing" for Stein, she wants him to join her and study things together. He seems a little intrigued by the idea, but of course he's not changing sides that easy. The battle is a lot of chat-chat with a few strikes here and there, they are pretty much at a standstill until the Kishin awakens and causes Medusa to loose concentration.
     This saves Stein in the end since her spell was aimed to take his head off if he had released his hold on her, but.... the distraction gives him enough time to "Kill" her.

Crona & Ragnarok Vs Maka & Soul-  It was supposed to be Black Star and Tsubaki taking on Crona and the Demon Sword, but Maka wants some revenge for her last failure against the crazy kid.
    Even though this wasn't actually a deciding battle it was the more interesting, Crona has had a really hard life.  He/she was born to be an experiment of his/her mother Medusa, Medusa mixed the black blood with a normal weapon and put it into her child.  Cruel.
    Crona would be locked in a dark room whenever he/she didn't did what his/her mother said and would then be picked on by Ragnarok.  It took a while, but Crona finally does as his/her mother says and killed whatever little critter it was that she wanted him/her to kill.   Crona is really just too nice to do these things..
    Anyways, the battle itself is one sided to Crona until Maka and Soul take advantage of the Black Blood inside Soul.  This drove Maka into a Madness and allowed her blood to harden just like Cronas.  This freaks Crona out really...
     Maka syncs up with Crona enough to speak to him/her inside their minds,  she makes friends with him/her and then even the "real" Crona breaks down.  Love,Love, Ending to this battle.  Maka wins, but so does Crona... someone has finally wanted to be his/her friend.

Kid, Liz & Patty and Black Star & Tsubaki - While chasing down Free and Eruka, Kid is getting a little preoccupied with all the rubble in the area and Free makes an appearance.  This battle is a bit pointless, Kid can't do any damage to Free and he's also attempting to figure out what broken pieces went together and then..  Black Star shows up.
       This is when Kid figures out that Free is actually a hologram and then back to the chasing.  Free and Eruka reach the Kishins prison and it's madness starts screwing with them.  The students show up not long after and Kid takes care of Free while Black Star goes after Eruka who is about to inject the Kishin with the black blood.
        Long fight short, the Kishin is awakened.  Maka and Soul show up, get laid out and pretty much they all loose.

Shinigami Vs The Kishin -  Not much of a battle here, Death doesn't have his Scythe so he doesn't really do much damage to the Kishin who quickly flies off to where he knows Death can't follow.

Episode 25 -  Death summons his weapons, Death Scythe, Marie, Azusa and Justin are the four of the eight that are available.  Spirit thinks he'll be reassigned for mucking up and leaving Deaths side during the previous battle, but he's not... he's just told to stay at the Shinigami's side.
     Marie is paired up with the now very unstable Stein, Azusa is charged with hunting down the Kishin and Justin is just...there.  With the Kishin running around his Madness waves are effecting everything.. especialy Stein who is now nuttier then he was before.
    The kids are healing up during this time and just coming to terms with what happened, Crona is locked away in the...dungeon...jail... Until Death figures out what to do with him/her.

Episode 26 -  Crona now with an adorable Demon Sword Ragnarok are allowed to stay at the school to attempt to become a student.  He/she is still quite awkward and is pretty much scared of everyone but Maka and Marie.
       After the Tour of the school, Maka and Crona set off on a mission to investigate a Golem going mad and attacking people. What they find is a crazy weapon and the start of another battle...


The Kishin -  Asura, He was once one of the Great Old Ones. One of Eight of Death's Warriors/Guards who went a little....crazy.  I can't really remember the details but.. Death ends up skinning Asura and using his skin to imprison him.
      When the Kishin wakes up it's a bit of a scene with him putting his skin back on. Uhg.


Comical Battle-  Blair Vs The Mizune Sisters -  Cat Vs Mice -  Blair's the cat from the first episode, she has lots of magic and a sexy human form, the Mizune Sisters are five tiny mouse like magical mice-women that are flying around attacking the town.
       Blair's fish monger ends up being one of the victims which pisses her off, they attacked her free food source...  The battle is mainly for comedies sake...and fan service.  The Mizune Sisters can combine and form into a full sized woman with rather skimpy clothes on.
      Think the battle pretty much ends in a tie, seeing that the Kishin sort of interrupts it.
