[00:14] ---
    A sound "soul"
[00:17] ---
    dwells within a sound mind
[00:19] ---
    and a sound body.
[00:24] ---
    Death Weapon Meister Academy...
[00:39] ---
    popularly known as the DWMA.
[00:43] ---
    It is an institution to
    train weapons and meisters,
[00:48] ---
    established by Death, to prevent Kishins,
[00:51] ---
    the demon gods who plunged the
    entire world into the depths of terror,
[00:59] ---
    drove people into a maelstrom of madness,
[01:02] ---
    and nearly destroyed everything,
[01:04] ---
    from ever being born again.
[01:06] ---
    The gist of it is, it's an
    organization of justice, to keep the peace.
[01:11] ---
    Why is it a technical school, anyway?
[01:12] ---
    "DWMA"
[01:15] ---
    Oh well. Now then,
[01:17] ---
    let's all get ourselves
    duly keyed up, and get going!
[01:37] ---
    If the lamps of linked souls
[01:40] ---
    point to your heart,
[01:42] ---
    do you hear the echoes now,
[01:45] ---
    stronger than words?
[02:00] ---
    We barely ever look each other in the eye,
[02:02] ---
    yet our very fates are becoming entwined
[02:06] ---
    Our destinations overlap completely,
[02:08] ---
    so run with me through the slippery night
[02:12] ---
    Though the glare that
    comes from being too tenacious

[02:17] ---
    may carry over into bad dreams
[02:23] ---
    If the lamps of linked souls
[02:26] ---
    point to your heart,
[02:29] ---
    do you hear the echoes now,
[02:32] ---
    stronger than words?
[02:35] ---
    The reasons why we ever met don't matter
[02:38] ---
    We are drawn together
[02:40] ---
    The more we are hurt
    in the moments we touch,

[02:44] ---
    the clearer things become
[03:29] ---
    More power...
[03:44] ---
    More...
[03:46] ---
    power...!
[03:57] ---
    Soul Eater, that's him.
[04:00] ---
    Yeah, Maka, no question.
    His soul is now a Kishin egg.
[04:05] ---
    He's not human.
[04:07] ---
    Souls that have left the human path
[04:10] ---
    run the risk of transforming into a Kishin.
[04:15] ---
    In the name of Lord Death,
    purge him, and recover his soul.
[04:20] ---
    What's the matter, Maka?
[04:22] ---
    Just as he isn't human, I am a weapon.
[04:26] ---
    Although, I usually
    take the form of a human.
[04:32] ---
    My form isn't the issue here.
[04:34] ---
    The issue is souls!
[04:39] ---
    I know.
[04:47] ---
    Mass murderer Jack the Ripper,
[04:51] ---
    your soul is mine!
[04:58] ---
    The weapon and meister are two in one!
[05:01] ---
    Let's go, Soul!
[05:02] ---
    Yeah!
[05:31] ---
    This will be our 99th soul!!
[06:04] ---
    "I thank thee for this meal."
[06:06] ---
    Recovery complete.
[06:08] ---
    At long last, we've put away our 99th soul
[06:10] ---
    that had turned into a Kishin egg, huh?
[06:12] ---
    Only one more to go.
[06:14] ---
    Once I eat the soul of a witch,
[06:16] ---
    I will become Lord Death’s
    weapon, a Death Scythe.
[06:20] ---
    That will also increase my
    male coolness factor even more.
[06:23] ---
    I'm going to go report our
    current status to Lord Death.
[06:31] ---
    The number to the Death Room is...
[06:33] ---
    42-42-564. [Said aloud, the numbers
    spell out the words "die, die, kill"]
[06:45] ---
    Hello, hello, Lord Death?
[06:47] ---
    This is Meister Maka.
[06:49] ---
    Ohh...?
[06:50] ---
    Maka, how are you?
    How are things going?
[06:53] ---
    We just recovered our 99th.
    We only have one left... a witch's soul.
[06:59] ---
    Maka, you really do
    take after your mother,
[07:02] ---
    in being a fine scythemeister.
[07:06] ---
    Hey, Soul Eater!
[07:08] ---
    If you try anything with Maka,
    then I, as Death Scythe... no,
[07:15] ---
    as her father, will kill you, you dimwit.
[07:18] ---
    Shut up, will you? There's
    no way someone as cool as me
[07:21] ---
    is suited to be with a
    short-stacked girl like this.
[07:24] ---
    What did you say?!
[07:26] ---
    Are you saying my
    Maka doesn't have any appeal?!
[07:29] ---
    You can try a little something
    with her! You are a man, right?!
[07:33] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:35] ---
    Maka, I love you.
[07:38] ---
    No way! Papa, I don't
    think of you as being my father.
[07:44] ---
    Well, family matters aside,
[07:48] ---
    following the recovery of 99
    souls that have left the human path...
[07:51] ---
    Which is to say, souls that
    have turned into Kishin eggs...
[07:55] ---
    As well as one witch soul,
[07:57] ---
    "Witch"
[07:58] ---
    is when you first earn the
    right to become a Death Scythe.
[08:03] ---
    The issue, then, becomes that soul.
[08:06] ---
    I've seen so many meisters
    lose their lives battling witches
[08:10] ---
    that it really bothers me.
[08:13] ---
    --Watch yourself, Maka.
[08:13] ---
    --Maka... your papa...
[08:15] ---
    --Make yourself an exceptional scythe,
[08:17] ---
    --one that rivals the Death Scythe
    your mother made, okay?
[08:18] ---
    --your papa only wants...
[08:21] ---
    Right.
[08:22] ---
    Also, be careful not
    to make any mistakes.
[08:25] ---
    That last one is a witch's soul, after all.
[08:28] ---
    If you mess up, you
    forfeit all the other Kishin eggs
[08:31] ---
    you've recovered up to now.
[08:33] ---
    We know.
[08:35] ---
    Expect the best from us, Lord Death.
[08:38] ---
    Okay then, with that in mind...
[08:40] ---
    Maka...!
[08:42] ---
    Uh, you're being a little noisy there.
[08:45] ---
    Maka!!
[08:50] ---
    Knock it off, or I'll bring
    out the Reaper Chop!
[08:54] ---
    Tell me that before you bring it out.

[09:34] ---
    This is gonna taste good. It's
    not very manly to sneak our way in.
[09:38] ---
    I'm going to devour her head-on!
[09:39] ---
    No, I say! She's not like the
    others we've faced up to now...
[09:42] ---
    Here goes!
[09:42] ---
    Hold on!
[09:49] ---
    N-Naked...?
[09:52] ---
    Oh, my. What's the matter, sonny?
[10:01] ---
    A cool man is used
    to seeing women naked.
[10:05] ---
    Your nose is gushing blood
    pretty good there, considering.
[10:09] ---
    Never mind that, your soul is...
[10:11] ---
    You... idiot!
[10:15] ---
    Sorry to disturb your

[10:19] ---
    Are you okay, sonny?
[10:25] ---
    Hurry up and turn into a scythe.
[10:27] ---
    I know, I know...
[10:29] ---
    Little Miss Witch, I'm
    going to devour your soul.
[10:34] ---
    Witch?
[10:38] ---
    Amazing! He turned into a scythe!
[10:41] ---
    I'm taking your soul, and
    Soul is becoming a Death Scythe.
[10:45] ---
    The ultimate weapon,
    surpassing my Papa!
[10:48] ---
    I like you.
[10:50] ---
    Let me have that scythe.
[10:54] ---
    Pump-pumpkin,
    Pumpkin... Halloween Cannon!
[11:06] ---
    Oh, Mr. Death Scythe,
    you're such a horndog!
[11:08] ---
    "Chupa Cabra's"
[11:10] ---
    Come to think of it, Mr. Death Scythe,
    you have a daughter, right?
[11:14] ---
    What is she like?
[11:16] ---
    Hold on, you can't ask that.
[11:18] ---
    Huh? Why not?
[11:20] ---
    Mr. Death Scythe, as you can see,
    can't keep his hands off of women.
[11:24] ---
    He isn't getting along
    with his wife as a result.
[11:27] ---
    They've ended up in the
    middle of divorce proceedings.
[11:31] ---
    His daughter Maka
    even said "I hate you, Papa."
[11:36] ---
    Sounds kind of complicated.
[11:39] ---
    Maka!!
[11:41] ---
    It's not like that, Maka!
[11:45] ---
    Papa... Papa loves you and
    Mama more than anything, Maka!
[11:49] ---
    It's the truth! It's the truth!
[11:56] ---
    Thank you very much.
[12:00] ---
    Mr. Death Scythe...
[12:03] ---
    Come again, okay?
[12:05] ---
    Uh-huh.
[12:08] ---
    Bye!
[12:11] ---
    "The next day"
[12:14] ---
    Damn. She's enticing my
    cool self with her witchly allure.
[12:19] ---
    That's a witch for you. But if
    you give in to her seductiveness,
[12:22] ---
    you'll never become a Death Scythe.
[12:24] ---
    Shut up, short-stack.
[12:30] ---
    It's her!
[12:31] ---
    What do we do?
[12:33] ---
    What do we do?
[12:35] ---
    Huh?
[12:36] ---
    Ah! Sonny-boy scythe!
[12:42] ---
    "The next, next day"
[12:45] ---
    Today, you see,
[12:46] ---
    I wrote down a thorough
    strategy on this paper.
[12:49] ---
    What's that for? There's no
    "today's strategy" business here.
[12:53] ---
    What good is one
    piece of paper going to do?
[12:55] ---
    Then tell me, how are
    we going to beat Blair?!
[12:58] ---
    Who knows? With heart, maybe?
[13:00] ---
    What's with you?!
[13:01] ---
    The two of us have to work together!
[13:03] ---
    --Otherwise, you'll never become
    a Death Scythe! Don't you get it?!
[13:03] ---
    --All right. Cut it out.
[13:06] ---
    --Soul?! Why are all men like this?!
[13:06] ---
    --Pump-pumpkin... Pumpkin...
[13:10] ---
    Halloween Cannon!
[13:15] ---
    "The next, next, next day"
[13:16] ---
    "3rd Round"
[13:28] ---
    You'll never beat me.
[13:31] ---
    What are you doing, you numbskull?!
[13:33] ---
    Shut up.
[13:34] ---
    This is all because you keep
    getting nosebleeds, right, Soul?
[13:37] ---
    Huh?
[13:38] ---
    Men really are lowlifes.
    Are you sure you didn't go
[13:41] ---
    rushing in back there because
    you knew Blair was in the tub?
[13:44] ---
    There's no way I could have known that!
[13:47] ---
    Why do women always say such
    unreasonable things so self-assuredly?!
[13:52] ---
    Women's intuition.
[13:54] ---
    Geez, I don't even
    know what that means!
[13:56] ---
    Now, now, sonny-boy scythe,
    if you're going to fight with her,
[14:01] ---
    come over here and be mine.
[14:04] ---
    I'll overlook anything you do.
[14:09] ---
    H-Hang on!
[14:11] ---
    I am Soul's partner!
[14:13] ---
    Don't go arranging things
    without his meister!
[14:17] ---
    You don't say...
[14:19] ---
    Well...
[14:21] ---
    I'll kill you, and take him.
[14:34] ---
    She's gone?
[14:35] ---
    Pump-pumpkin Pumpkin...
[14:37] ---
    Smashing Pumpkin!
[14:50] ---
    What do we do, Soul?
    We're no match for her.
[14:54] ---
    Soul?
[14:56] ---
    Hey, Soul? What's the matter?
[15:02] ---
    Come over here and be mine.
[15:15] ---
    Man, Caba-cabra sure is fun.
[15:18] ---
    Good grief, your daughter is in
    trouble, and what are you up to?
[15:23] ---
    Huh?
[15:24] ---
    Did something happen to Maka?!
[15:26] ---
    She's in a tight squeeze in her
    fight with the witch. She's going to die.
[15:30] ---
    What?!
[15:31] ---
    Sit tight, Maka!
[15:33] ---
    Hold on! If we were to head over there,
[15:36] ---
    we could take out an opponent
    like that with one swing of the scythe...
[15:38] ---
    No, one Reaper Chop.
[15:43] ---
    However,
[15:44] ---
    that's not what the issue is, right?
[15:48] ---
    As her father, you can
    understand that, right?
[15:57] ---
    Maka...
[15:58] ---
    Still, that witch is a little odd, huh?
[16:10] ---
    Hey, Soul, why don't you answer me?
[16:14] ---
    Maka...
[16:16] ---
    Soul...?
[16:22] ---
    Enough.
[16:29] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?!
[16:32] ---
    I'm giving up on all of this hassle.
[16:35] ---
    I'm going to be Miss Blair's scythe!
[16:40] ---
    Rowr! Really?
[16:42] ---
    Yeah, yeah! Get your
    hands off of Maka, you dimwit!
[16:47] ---
    Is this any time to be saying that?
[16:50] ---
    Blair!
[16:52] ---
    You're deluding Soul's mind
    with your magic, aren't you?!
[16:56] ---
    You are such an idiot.
[16:58] ---
    Any man would pass on
    a short-stacked girl like you
[17:02] ---
    for a curvy, nice-bodied
    woman. It's so obvious.
[17:08] ---
    Oh! Indeed she is an
    incredibly fine woman!
[17:13] ---
    You keep quiet for a little while.
[17:17] ---
    What is this?
[17:20] ---
    Men are such lowlifes.
[17:24] ---
    All you ever do is womanize.
[17:29] ---
    Still...
[17:31] ---
    after I finally decided
    to trust one of you...
[17:40] ---
    Unbelievable.
[17:44] ---
    You can all just die!
[17:49] ---
    Hey, Soul,
[17:51] ---
    you know how you said that
    women say unreasonable things?
[17:55] ---
    Well, is male infidelity any
    more reasonable, you dumbass?!
[18:02] ---
    How should I know?
[18:06] ---
    Cool men don't go
    cheating around, after all.
[18:12] ---
    Maka!
[18:29] ---
    We did it, Maka.
[18:31] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[18:33] ---
    Thanks, Soul.
[18:37] ---
    The issue isn't about one's form.
[18:40] ---
    The issue is about one's soul, right?
[18:44] ---
    Once you eat that...
[18:46] ---
    Yeah, I can become a Death Scythe.
[19:06] ---
    My power! My power is rising...
[19:12] ---
    nowhere.
[19:15] ---
    Oh, no...
[19:23] ---
    Y-You wouldn't be...
[19:25] ---
    I never said I was a witch, meow.
[19:32] ---
    I'm just a cat, with strong magical powers.
[19:38] ---
    "The issue isn't about one's form," right?
[19:42] ---
    Uh-oh. Sure enough...
[19:44] ---
    I don't care if she's a cat! I've decided!
[19:46] ---
    I'm going to be your catnip...
[19:51] ---
    Does that mean I...
[19:53] ---
    devoured 99 Kishin eggs,
    and one cat's soul?
[19:59] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[20:00] ---
    That last one is a witch's
    soul, so if you mess up,
[20:04] ---
    you forfeit all the other
    Kishin eggs you've recovered.
[20:08] ---
    You forfeit them all.
[20:11] ---
    Forfeit.
[20:13] ---
    Which means...
[20:15] ---
    "Failure"
[20:16] ---
    We goofed up?!
[20:18] ---
    Damn it, damn it, damn it!
[20:21] ---
    I'm a failure as a meister!
    I have to start over from the beginning.
[20:25] ---
    And here I thought I was going
    to become the consummate cool guy!
[20:30] ---
    How are you still alive,
    after we took your soul, anyhow?
[20:33] ---
    Don't you know that
    cats have many lives?
[20:37] ---
    Never mind that,
    Soul, come and be mine.
[20:41] ---
    Hey, Blair! Stop following us!
[20:44] ---
    Come on, Soul...
[20:48] ---
    This is not cool at all.
[20:52] ---
    This boy's name is BlackStar.
[20:56] ---
    An assassin, who
    conceals himself in darkness,

[21:00] ---
    and moves with the darkness.
[21:05] ---
    Tsubaki, are those guys
    our target this time around?
[21:08] ---
    Yeah. Al Capone and his men.
[21:12] ---
    There must be about a hundred of them.
[21:15] ---
    Two against a hundred, huh? Perfect.
[21:19] ---
    Black☆Star...
[21:22] ---
    Let's go recover all of the souls
    who have left the human path,
[21:26] ---
    and have become Kishin eggs.
[21:28] ---
    Wielder of the magical dark arm Tsubaki.
[21:33] ---
    However, this boy had a big problem.
[21:37] ---
    Let's go.
[21:40] ---
    Prologue 02: Black☆Star
[21:44] ---
    Coming soon
[21:47] ---
    The stardust twinkles
[21:54] ---
    Star of my dreams
[22:00] ---
    I wanna be
[22:03] ---
    Let's go Let's go
[22:09] ---
    Let's go!
[22:16] ---
    I
[22:17] ---
    Wanna
[22:19] ---
    I wanna be (1-2-3-4!)
[22:21] ---
    The world is covered in blackness,
[22:26] ---
    but my breath is still white
[22:32] ---
    Ever since that day we promised
[22:34] ---
    to go smash up the present
[22:37] ---
    I'm sure we can still make it in time
[22:43] ---
    I wanna be
[22:45] ---
    counted together
[22:48] ---
    with pallid hopelessness
[22:53] ---
    Screaming out
[22:56] ---
    and run through
[22:58] ---
    before everything changes
[23:04] ---
    I
[23:06] ---
    Wanna
[23:07] ---
    I wanna be
[23:18] ---
    And so, Soul Eater has
    begun. What did you all think?

[23:22] ---
    It's not cool.
[23:23] ---
    Hey, Soul, how long are
    you planning to be depressed?

[23:26] ---
    Next time, the underworld
    mafia and a lone wolf samurai

[23:29] ---
    are targeted by a conceited assassin.
[23:31] ---
    In other words, the story is
    going to be like rice piled on pasta,

[23:34] ---
    sandwiched between
    two pieces of bread, right?

[23:36] ---
    Why is it all carbs?
[23:37] ---
    Ah, that might be pretty yummy.
