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

This witches' mass is hereby opened.
**[00:43] ---**
*Joma joma dabarasa*
**[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.
