    A sound "soul"
[00:16] ---
    dwells within a sound mind
[00:18] ---
    and a sound body.

[00:48] ---
    Come along, Crona, Ragnarok.
[00:51] ---
    Yes, Lady Medusa.

[02:33] ---
    Just a minute.
[02:35] ---
    Oh, dear.
[02:36] ---
    Huh? We're being blocked.
    I don't know how to deal with this.
[02:41] ---
    Button it, would you?!
    Now give me your spare change!
[02:45] ---
    Did you need something, Eruka Frog?
[02:48] ---
    Ribbit.
[02:49] ---
    Ch-ch-ch.
[02:50] ---
    I truly can't stand you.
[02:52] ---
    Oh, my. I'm not the only one who
    brought non-witch outsiders along.
[02:57] ---
    See? That little witch over
    there brought along a human.
[03:02] ---
    --Mifune, I'm getting hungry.
[03:03] ---
    --Witches' masses sure are
    being Cheapened, huh?
[03:05] ---
    --All right.
[03:07] ---
    But that's not what I wanted to talk about.
[03:10] ---
    I saw you steal something
    from the Old Witch’s room.
[03:15] ---
    Also, what on earth are you doing,
    sneaking your way into the DWMA?
[03:21] ---
    Crona, coat.
[03:23] ---
    Roger wilco.
[03:29] ---
    My research at the academy
    will continue to be carried out.
[03:33] ---
    That was the conclusion arrived
    at by the witches' mass, was it not?
[03:36] ---
    The Old Witch said so herself, didn't she?
[03:38] ---
    Just a minute!
[03:40] ---
    The Old Witch’s eyes are poor,
[03:42] ---
    and she does not realize
    what a nuisance you've become.
[03:45] ---
    The DWMA is an organization
    that is out to get witches' souls!
[03:49] ---
    With one slip-up by you, all
    of us could be exposed to danger.
[03:54] ---
    What's more,
[03:55] ---
    how can you be trying to create a Kishin,
[03:57] ---
    something that could easily
    become an enemy to the witches?
[04:00] ---
    Get real! We're tired of looking at you!
[04:06] ---
    Why you little frog and mouse...
[04:08] ---
    I'm going to punish you.
[04:10] ---
    R-Ribbit...
[04:13] ---
    I'm in a hurry.
[04:16] ---
    The school nurse can't
    very well be late, can she?
[04:20] ---
    Joma joma dabarasa
[04:24] ---
    Why you miserable snake-woman...!
[04:27] ---
    Ch-ch-ch-ch!
[04:32] ---
    "Courage That Beats Out Fear...
    Maka Albarn's Great Resolution?"

[04:42] ---
    Would you turn around for me?
[04:43] ---
    How have you been feeling?
[04:45] ---
    There's been nothing unusual, really.
[04:48] ---
    But for some reason, lately,
    I've been having this weird dream.
[04:52] ---
    A strange dream?
[04:54] ---
    Mm-hmm. In this dream,
[04:58] ---
    I'm always in this room,
    where everything is pitch-black.
[05:07] ---
    There's a phonograph there,
    which skips something awful,
[05:10] ---
    playing this dimestore jazz song
    I think I've heard somewhere before.
[05:15] ---
    Before long, this guy always
    appears from the other end of the room.
[05:20] ---
    A little demon, wearing
    a double-breasted suit,
[05:24] ---
    and dancing this strange little
    step, out of rhythm with the music.
[05:27] ---
    Swing, swing, swing...
[05:29] ---
    This jazz isn't swing.
[05:32] ---
    Jazz is something you listen to at night.
[05:35] ---
    Music doesn't choose its time or place.
[05:38] ---
    That's just something you
    decided on your own.
[05:40] ---
    That's right. I decided.
[05:44] ---
    You are eligible.
[05:47] ---
    When your torso was cut open,
    did you feel a powerful fear?
[05:52] ---
    Wouldn't you want a strong mind,
    that could forget that fear?
[05:57] ---
    Forgetting my fears would be reckless.
[06:00] ---
    That's one of the DWMA’s teachings.
[06:02] ---
    Heh, what are you, a fool?
[06:05] ---
    Do you think you're in heaven or something?
[06:08] ---
    You're still on earth, aren't you?
[06:11] ---
    To keep your feet on the
    ground until the end, you need power.
[06:15] ---
    Overwhelming power,
    to allow you to forget your fears.
[06:20] ---
    You're no big deal, the way you are now.
[06:23] ---
    Get on out there, already!
[06:24] ---
    Wait! Wait a minute!
[06:27] ---
    I don't want to leave this room.
[06:29] ---
    Let me stay here, until the dream is over!
[06:31] ---
    I'll even put up with the lame music!
[06:34] ---
    Then seek for power. Find a rule to break.
[06:39] ---
    If you do, you will become stronger.
[06:43] ---
    Why don't you want to leave the room?
[06:49] ---
    When I leave the room,
    the darkness goes on.
[06:52] ---
    Then, I see a light.
[06:55] ---
    When I go through it, I...
[07:00] ---
    am coming out of Maka's stomach.
[07:04] ---
    My goodness.
[07:05] ---
    Ragnarok's black blood
    clearly seems to be having an effect.

[07:10] ---
    So, how am I, physically?
[07:13] ---
    Oh, you do have a slight arrhythmia,
    but you are recovering nicely.
[07:18] ---
    Okay, let's take your blood pressure.
[07:21] ---
    As for your dream,
[07:22] ---
    people often have the same
    or similar dreams repeatedly,
[07:27] ---
    so you need not worry about it.
[07:29] ---
    Or was there something
    else you're concerned about?
[07:33] ---
    I wouldn't say I'm "concerned" about this,
[07:36] ---
    but ever since I got hurt,
    Maka seems to be acting strange.
[07:41] ---
    Oh, sorry to hear that.
[07:48] ---
    A jar?
[07:49] ---
    Yes, a jar.
[07:51] ---
    Why a jar?
[07:52] ---
    Well, the jar is just an ordinary jar;
    it's the water that's inside the jar.
[07:58] ---
    It's called Soul-Sapping Water,
[07:59] ---
    and it's water that sucks
    out one's soul wavelength.
[08:03] ---
    The jar is, all things
    considered, just an ordinary jar.
[08:05] ---
    Try sticking your hand in it for a moment.
[08:07] ---
    Yeah... I'm still iffy
    about the jar, though.
[08:14] ---
    What is this?! That jar is dangerous!
[08:17] ---
    The water is.
[08:19] ---
    Start off by only sticking
    in one finger at a time.
[08:23] ---
    So, once I can withstand
    sticking my whole hand in here,
[08:26] ---
    I'll be able to use Tsubaki's
    Enchanted Sword Mode?
[08:29] ---
    That's right.
[08:31] ---
    Fascinating! Lately, all I've
    been doing is muscle training.
[08:37] ---
    What?
[08:38] ---
    No fair.
[08:39] ---
    How can you get so strong
    by only doing muscle training?
[08:42] ---
    Isn't that obvious? I'm Black☆Star!
[08:45] ---
    I'm on a whole different level from you!
[08:47] ---
    I'm a big man, who
    transcends God, after all!
[08:51] ---
    No fair. Dr. Stein,
    give me one of those jars, too.
[08:55] ---
    I can't.
[08:57] ---
    That is for Black☆Star
    to become able to use
[09:00] ---
    Tsubaki's Enchanted Sword Mode.
[09:02] ---
    I won't let myself be outdone by this jar!
[09:06] ---
    Black☆Star himself probably
    doesn't realize he's doing it,
[09:10] ---
    but by calling himself a god,
    "big," and so forth, he's driving himself,
[09:15] ---
    in effect.
[09:17] ---
    He's driving himself?
[09:19] ---
    Yes.
[09:20] ---
    "There's nothing that big ol'
    me can't do. Of course I can do it."
[09:26] ---
    Thus, he doesn't mind
    expending effort to that end.
[09:29] ---
    He makes the attempt, over and over again.
[09:32] ---
    He seriously is trying to surpass God.
[09:36] ---
    He's bound to get stronger.
[09:38] ---
    Right.
[09:39] ---
    But that's Black☆Star's own
    way of strengthening his soul.
[09:44] ---
    Maka, you should have
    your own way of doing it.
[09:47] ---
    My own way of doing it?
[09:49] ---
    Wavering and being anxious isn't a mistake.
[09:52] ---
    But right now, Maka, you're
    definitely lacking something.
[09:58] ---
    I'm lacking something?
[10:00] ---
    Once you find out what
    that is, come see me.
[10:05] ---
    I told you, start off with only one finger.
[10:08] ---
    You can take the jar with you.
    Go home for the rest of the day.
[10:12] ---
    Say, Maka, what about the party?
[10:14] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[10:16] ---
    I was going to throw a party to
    congratulate Black☆Star and Tsubaki
[10:19] ---
    on their soul recovery, and to
    celebrate Soul getting discharged.
[10:23] ---
    Be sure to make some tasty fish dishes.
[10:27] ---
    What a moron.
[10:31] ---
    Okay then, Soul, come
    back here in one week.
[10:37] ---
    Excuse me.
[10:39] ---
    Hey.
[10:46] ---
    I'm going to start the
    party now. Don't be late, okay?
[10:51] ---
    It looks like your scar is the cause, huh?
[10:55] ---
    Whenever she sees this scar,
[10:58] ---
    she gets a pained look on her face.
[11:13] ---
    Flavor notwithstanding, I sure am stuffed!
[11:16] ---
    The way you say that is somewhat galling.
[11:20] ---
    That was delicious, Maka.
[11:22] ---
    Yum, yum!
[11:23] ---
    Thank you for that.
[11:25] ---
    This is a nice place you live in, isn't it?
[11:27] ---
    Everything put away, nice and tidy.
[11:29] ---
    If I make any messes, Maka nags me.
[11:32] ---
    It's just the two of you living here?
[11:34] ---
    Yoo-hoo, is everyone having fun?
[11:37] ---
    Say, does anyone want to
    come take a bath with me?
[11:47] ---
    Is it always like this?
[11:48] ---
    Yeah. Somebody, take
    this sex kitten home with you.
[12:02] ---
    Infiltrating the DWMA was worth it.
[12:05] ---
    With that black blood mixed in,
[12:08] ---
    perhaps I should conduct
    some tests with Soul Eater.

[12:11] ---
    I do have the key.
[12:17] ---
    Oh, my.
[12:18] ---
    What a coincidence, meeting you here.
[12:21] ---
    I think you already know
    this without me saying it,
[12:25] ---
    but shall I say it anyway?
[12:27] ---
    Yes, by all means.
[12:29] ---
    Ribitty... We've come here to kill you.
[12:34] ---
    Why?! How awful! We're friends, aren't we?
[12:37] ---
    We just want to avoid attention from Death,
[12:40] ---
    use our magic, and raise a little hell.
[12:42] ---
    We don't particularly care
    what you want to do at the DWMA.
[12:47] ---
    You're dangerous.
[12:49] ---
    That's why you came to kill me, then?
[12:51] ---
    But before you do, I should
    warn you about one thing.
[12:55] ---
    That outfit is dangerous.
    You plainly look like a witch.
[12:59] ---
    However much you cast
    Soul Protect on yourself,
[13:02] ---
    there are many young
    meisters that live here.
[13:05] ---
    Do you understand my meaning?
[13:07] ---
    Don't you worry.
[13:09] ---
    Unlike you, we are able
    to use transformation magic.
[13:13] ---
    If it comes to it, we
    can use that to escape.
[13:16] ---
    I see, so that's how you're
    planning to beat me?
[13:19] ---
    We know that normally,
    we couldn't beat you in a fight.
[13:23] ---
    But here, you want to
    remain an ordinary school nurse.
[13:28] ---
    You can't very well drop your Soul Protect
[13:30] ---
    and use your magic, can you?
[13:32] ---
    We can launch a unilateral
    magical attack against an ordinary lady
[13:36] ---
    who has Soul Protect cast on herself.
[13:39] ---
    If you fight back in
    order to use your magic,
[13:40] ---
    "Release"
[13:42] ---
    we'll use our transformation
    magic and get away.
[13:44] ---
    You'll end up revealing
    yourself as a witch to the meisters,
[13:47] ---
    and you'll be hunted.
[13:49] ---
    Whether you release
    your spell or not, we still win.
[13:53] ---
    The frog and the mouse defeat the snake.
[13:56] ---
    Not a bad job of croaking
    a superior, for a mere frog.
[14:01] ---
    So not only am I to be killed,
    I have to listen to your puns, as well?
[14:04] ---
    That's pretty cruel treatment.
[14:06] ---
    Soul Protect release!
[14:14] ---
    Farewell, Medusa!
[14:17] ---
    Ch-ch-ch!
[14:26] ---
    That soul impression...
[14:28] ---
    A witch!
[14:29] ---
    What's suddenly come over you?
[14:31] ---
    Two of them. What are
    they doing in Death City?
[14:34] ---
    I'll be right back!
[14:36] ---
    Hey, Maka!
[14:40] ---
    I've wanted so badly to see
    your face contorted in screams.
[14:44] ---
    But there's so little time. It's too bad.
[14:48] ---
    You are indeed a frog and a mouse.
[14:51] ---
    Ch-ch?
[14:52] ---
    This is the way you were
    planning to beat me?
[14:57] ---
    You shall be punished.
[14:59] ---
    You will not be my research subjects.
[15:03] ---
    You want to fight, huh? We'll run away!
[15:07] ---
    Well, what are you waiting for?
    Release your Soul Protect...

[15:11] ---
    Ribbit!
[15:12] ---
    What happened to the
    tattoos on your shoulder?!
[15:15] ---
    Oh, my, wherever could they have gone?
[15:18] ---
    Ch! Ch-ch...!
[15:23] ---
    What's wrong, Mizune?!
[15:25] ---
    You don't mean, it's inside Mizune's body?!
[15:28] ---
    It couldn't be! When did you...
[15:32] ---
    Don't tell me you did it back then!
[15:34] ---
    I keep a thousand snakes within my body.
[15:38] ---
    Those are only a few of them.
[15:44] ---
    M-Mizune...!
[15:47] ---
    Swallow her up until there's nothing left.
[15:50] ---
    But how? Those snakes
    are magic, too, right?
[15:54] ---
    How did you do that,
    without releasing your Soul Protect?
[15:57] ---
    These little ones are
    simple magical life forms.
[16:01] ---
    They have nothing to do with my Protect.
[16:05] ---
    My pride and joy.
    She responds to simple signals.
[16:10] ---
    I can't produce doves,
    but it's still pretty neat, huh?
[16:14] ---
    You realize, don't you,
[16:17] ---
    that Mizune isn't the
    only one they've gone inside?
[16:21] ---
    R-Ribbit...!
[16:34] ---
    They came, all right. That was fast.
[16:37] ---
    Stein...
[16:39] ---
    and Maka.
[16:42] ---
    Dr. Medusa...
[16:43] ---
    We sensed two witches
    in this area just now.
[16:47] ---
    Yes, I felt them too, and came running.
[16:51] ---
    It could have been one of the
    witches from when Soul was injured.
[16:55] ---
    It may have been.
[16:57] ---
    No, I don't think it was.
[17:00] ---
    That witch had the Demon
    Sword and a meister along with her.
[17:04] ---
    If she were one of the
    witches that was here,
[17:07] ---
    she wouldn't have released her Protect
[17:08] ---
    in the middle of Death City for no reason.
[17:12] ---
    It is apparent that she has an
    interest in weapons and meisters,
[17:17] ---
    so maybe she is quietly
    laying low, and observing.
[17:22] ---
    If she were here, that is.
[17:26] ---
    Or, maybe she came to apply
    pressure or something to the DWMA.
[17:31] ---
    Like what happens with
    schools for delinquents.
[17:34] ---
    In any case, Dr. Medusa,
    I'm so glad you weren't hurt.
[17:39] ---
    We would be in a lot of trouble
    if our school nurse was laid up.
[17:43] ---
    Absolutely.
[17:45] ---
    Still, if I ever see that
    Demon Sword and meister again...
[17:52] ---
    Soul, I can't go on like this.
[17:56] ---
    And I'd made up my mind
    to become stronger, too...

[18:02] ---
    Maka!
[18:05] ---
    Are you all right?
[18:06] ---
    Don't go off on your own! It's dangerous!
[18:10] ---
    Soul...
[18:16] ---
    I...
[18:17] ---
    averted my eyes from your scar, Soul.
[18:27] ---
    I have to face this scar. I can't
    let Soul go through that again.

[18:33] ---
    I will not be beaten by my fears.
[18:38] ---
    Where's this suddenly coming from?
[18:43] ---
    Dr. Stein...
[18:45] ---
    Yes?
[18:50] ---
    I know...
[18:53] ---
    what it is that I'm lacking.
[18:57] ---
    You do?
[19:00] ---
    She has the courage to fight her fear.
[19:10] ---
    Okay, tomorrow, you and
    Soul come to my office.
[19:22] ---
    I can finally relax now,
    after coming this far, ribbit.
[19:26] ---
    Medusa, you just watch me ribbit!
[19:32] ---
    My, this feels pretty good under my feet.
[19:35] ---
    I could get used to this.
[19:37] ---
    Is that, by any chance ribbit...
[19:39] ---
    I have a favor I need to ask of you.
[19:43] ---
    A key?
[19:46] ---
    How did you know where I was ribbit?
[19:49] ---
    The snakes inside you are
    sending me a signal.
[19:53] ---
    It doesn't matter where you go.
[19:57] ---
    There's a man I'd like
    you to set free with that key.
[20:01] ---
    His Witch’s Bastille prisoner number is 13.
[20:04] ---
    You know who I mean, right?
[20:09] ---
    Y-You don't mean, the Magic Eye man?!
[20:12] ---
    H-He's the man who
    took the Old Witch’s left eye!
[20:15] ---
    If I do that, I'll be
    banished from the witch world!
[20:19] ---
    No, I'll be killed!
[20:23] ---
    If you'd rather, you can die here, instead.
[20:26] ---
    Ribbit... all right.
[20:28] ---
    There's something I'd
    like to test, using that man.
[20:32] ---
    Some research on Soul Eater.
[20:35] ---
    Y-You're going to use that man for that?
[20:38] ---
    You're out of your mind!
    You're crazy ribbit!
[20:41] ---
    I don't like the way this feels
    under my feet. Turn back into a frog.
[20:45] ---
    O-Okay.
[20:56] ---
    One plus two plus one
    plus two plus one plus two plus...
[21:03] ---
    --one plus
[21:04] ---
    --How annoying. Him again?
[21:05] ---
    --Two plus one plus two plus...
[21:08] ---
    one plus two plus...
[21:11] ---
    How many times did I multiply?
[21:15] ---
    One plus two plus one
    plus two plus one plus...
[21:21] ---
    How many times did I multiply?
[21:24] ---
    You're just adding, right?
    You haven't multiplied once.
[21:28] ---
    Haa!
[21:36] ---
    I can't see.
[21:38] ---
    I can't see anything.
[21:43] ---
    I want to watch some quality comedy.

    While those kids are goofing off,
    I've taken over the preview.

[23:22] ---
    Starting next week, would you
    like me to start my own program?

[23:25] ---
    Pretty Doctor Medusa.
[23:27] ---
    Oh, my, it would have content
[23:28] ---
    that couldn't be aired in
    prime time, in which case...

[23:31] ---
    Next time on Pretty Doctor Medusa:
[23:32] ---
    Witch Hunter!
[23:34] ---
    Next time on Soul Eater, episode 13:
[23:36] ---
    "The Man with the Magic Eye...
    Soul and Maka's Diverging Soul Wavelength?"

[23:40] ---
    Nake Snake Cobra Cob-bra!
[23:42] ---
    Let the area around you
    turn to a field of flowers!

[23:44] ---
    Whoa, impossible!
