[00:13] ---
A sound "soul"
[00:16] ---
dwells within a sound mind
[00:18] ---
and a sound body.
[00:30] ---
Are you all right, Sid?
[00:33] ---
Yes, I'm sorry.
[00:35] ---
I should've tried to help you escape,
[00:39] ---
but the distance was just too great...
[00:41] ---
No, that's an excuse.
Please forget what I said.
[00:44] ---
No, no, that was the best course
of action given the circumstances.
[00:49] ---
Still, to think that Dr.
Medusa was a witch...
[00:55] ---
I guess she'd been using a
Soul Protect the whole time...
[00:59] ---
Lord Death...
[01:01] ---
Aren't there any techniques that
can be used against Soul Protects?
[01:05] ---
Kilik...
[01:06] ---
We're basically left helpless
when someone uses a Soul Protect...
[01:11] ---
The struggle with witches
has gone on for centuries now.
[01:15] ---
Each time the witches
have come up with a new spell,
[01:19] ---
meisters and weapons have
learned new methods to counter them.
[01:25] ---
So, in order to track down witches,
[01:27] ---
meisters with the ability
to detect souls were born.
[01:33] ---
But now they can counter
that with Soul Protects.
[01:36] ---
So now we hafta figure out a new technique!
[01:40] ---
The only way for that now is to Kishin-ize.
[01:42] ---
Kishin-ize?
[01:45] ---
I suppose there's no
point in hiding it now.
[01:49] ---
Plus, closing the lid on
something that stinks
[01:52] ---
keeps people from knowing what's inside...
[01:56] ---
Sometimes you need to open the lid
[01:58] ---
so your children can know what's in there.
[02:02] ---
Okay, everyone! Your attention, please!
[02:09] ---
There's a Kishin beneath DWMA!
[02:15] ---
No, I think that's being too concise.

[03:49] ---
It happened before DWMA was created.
[03:53] ---
It is the story of a man.
A man named Asura.
[04:00] ---
Asura would wrap long
scarves all around his face
[04:04] ---
and wear five or six
shirts on top of each other.
[04:07] ---
He never trusted or confided in anyone.
[04:11] ---
He was like a big ball of paranoia.
[04:17] ---
"Old Lord Death"
[04:20] ---
What happened with those
dastardly eastern witches?
[04:23] ---
By the time we arrived...
Asura had slaughtered them all.
[04:28] ---
Asura was a member of my personal squad.
[04:31] ---
He was by far the best and strongest
member of the Eight Guardians.
[04:36] ---
"mutter mutter"
[04:36] ---
However, he was also
the most scared of them all.
[04:39] ---
"mutter mutter"
[04:39] ---
He was always terrified of something.
[04:42] ---
Obsessed with power,
he eventually broke the rules
[04:46] ---
and began taking people's souls.
[04:57] ---
And thus it was born...
[05:02] ---
The Kishin, the source of madness...
[05:07] ---
But I thought only
weapons could consume souls.
[05:11] ---
How did Asura eat them?
[05:14] ---
He was also scared to
death of his partner, you see.
[05:19] ---
So he ate the weapon whole.
[05:23] ---
Th-That's possible?
[05:26] ---
Now that I think about it,
[05:28] ---
"crackle crunch"
[05:28] ---
it's possible he was never
human to begin with.
[05:32] ---
"crackle crunch"
[05:32] ---
He could be the embodiment
of something unseen
[05:35] ---
that's hidden even deeper inside his heart.
[05:39] ---
Fear, for example...
[05:44] ---
"The Underground Battle Commences...
Break Through Medusa's Vector Arrow?"
[05:51] ---
Hey, Kid. How did Lord
Death seal away this Asura guy?
[05:56] ---
My father tore Asura's skin off
[05:59] ---
and stuffed him inside
a sealed bag made from it.
[06:02] ---
Then he rooted his own soul and
body here to keep the Kishin in check.
[06:08] ---
And that's why ol' Death
can't leave this place?
[06:11] ---
If the seal were broken and
the Kishin managed to escape,
[06:15] ---
would Lord Death be free to
go wherever he wants again?
[06:18] ---
No. Lord Death has fixed
his soul in this town.
[06:23] ---
He's become one with
Death City, you could even say.
[06:26] ---
One with Death City...
[06:28] ---
If he wanted to go anywhere, he'd
have to attach legs to this place.
[06:29] ---
"walk walk"
[06:32] ---
But he can't possibly do that.
[06:35] ---
Bzzzt!
[06:37] ---
The effects of reviving a
Kishin are beyond imagination.
[06:43] ---
Its madness will spread like an illness...
[06:56] ---
Soul. You can't control it.
[07:00] ---
Hell is right here.
[07:03] ---
People's minds are so flimsy.
[07:06] ---
Hurry here. The madness awaits.
[07:10] ---
There's no escape... You're like
a needle in the grooves of a record.
[07:16] ---
Screw that. Your powers of persuasion suck.
[07:20] ---
Just look at that needle
jumping all over the place.
[07:24] ---
I'm waiting for you to make the decision.
[07:40] ---
That DWMA party sure is lively...
[07:44] ---
I wanted to go too, but they said
only DWMA students are allowed.
[07:49] ---
They're so mean!
[07:52] ---
I don't have a part-time job, and
I don't have money to go shopping...
[07:56] ---
I guess there's no choice.
I know my intentions'll be obvious,
[07:59] ---
but I'll go visit the fish shop
guy who gives me hand-outs.
[08:07] ---
B-Blair...
[08:10] ---
Fish shop guy!
[08:12] ---
H-Here...
[08:15] ---
This fish is for you!
[08:16] ---
"lust"
[08:18] ---
Ka-thunk!
[08:19] ---
Fish shop guy!
[08:21] ---
Who would do this?
[08:25] ---
Huh?
[08:28] ---
Them?
[08:33] ---
Hold it... right there!
[08:39] ---
It took me forever to find that
source of food! How dare you!
[08:49] ---
Cheeky little rats...
[08:53] ---
We've run a pretty long way now.
[08:55] ---
Hey, Maka. Do you sense
the witches up ahead?
[08:59] ---
I'm guessing their Soul
Protects are on right now.
[09:02] ---
Aww, that's lame.
[09:04] ---
That's the only thing
you're half-decent at, too!
[09:07] ---
You really know how to annoy me!
[09:12] ---
What?! What?!
[09:14] ---
Doc!
[09:15] ---
Yes...
[09:16] ---
I sense a soul just
beyond the shadows there!
[09:21] ---
Someone's here.
[09:24] ---
This soul... There's no
question about it...
[09:28] ---
This nasty, despicable feeling...!
[09:33] ---
Dad!
[09:35] ---
What do you mean, "nasty and despicable"?
[09:37] ---
How did you manage to escape that spell?
[09:40] ---
No one's faster than me when it
comes to chasing a woman's behind.
[09:43] ---
I should've guessed.
But this is a real relief.
[09:47] ---
I wasn't sure how much
I could do without my weapon.
[09:52] ---
Are they up ahead, Senpai?
[09:55] ---
Yeah, they're lying in wait.
[09:59] ---
Listen up. There's no telling
what will happen from this point on.
[10:04] ---
It's best for you weapons not
to return to your human forms.
[10:08] ---
You could lose your lives in one blow.
[10:11] ---
Right!
[10:12] ---
--'Kay!
[10:12] ---
--Y-Yeah...
[10:14] ---
Wait, they're lying in wait?
Aren't they on their way to the Kishin?
[10:19] ---
No, I doubt all of them are.
[10:25] ---
Hey. You hear something?
[10:27] ---
Huh? R-Really?
[10:36] ---
I hear it!
[10:38] ---
Sounds like footsteps.
[10:39] ---
So, they're finally
showing themselves, huh?
[10:42] ---
Just who is it?
[10:44] ---
Someone confident that they
won't lose against multiple opponents.
[10:50] ---
Someone who can attack
multiple people simultaneously
[10:53] ---
and prevent them from getting through...
[11:05] ---
So, it is you...
[11:15] ---
All right, here's my basic plan.
[11:18] ---
"First Defensive Line"
[11:20] ---
For the most part, we can
anticipate how the enemy will act.
[11:23] ---
Medusa will be their first roadblock.
[11:26] ---
"Second Defensive Line"
[11:27] ---
The Demon Sword will be the
second barrier for those who get past.
[11:31] ---
And the remaining two
should be heading for the Kishin.
[11:36] ---
The werewolf Maka ran into before
[11:39] ---
is immortal and will be protecting
the black blood at all costs.
[11:43] ---
So, this is what we will do...
[11:46] ---
First, I'll keep Medusa busy.
[11:49] ---
You three will rush past
her as quickly as possible.
[11:54] ---
Kid, you're the most mobile of our group.
[11:57] ---
You'll go after the two
heading for the Kishin.
[12:00] ---
Understood!
[12:02] ---
Black☆Star.
[12:03] ---
You'll keep the Demon Sword busy
so Kid and Maka can get through.
[12:07] ---
As you're able to perform
soul wavelength blasts,
[12:09] ---
you can give the Demon
Sword a real walloping.
[12:11] ---
Yeah!
[12:12] ---
And, Maka...
[12:14] ---
You'll get past Medusa and the
Demon Sword and catch up with Kid,
[12:18] ---
at which point you'll
destroy the black blood.
[12:20] ---
Right.
[12:21] ---
Lastly, please promise me this:
that you won't lose your lives.
[12:29] ---
Is that understood?
[12:30] ---
--Yes, sir!
[12:30] ---
--Yeah!
[12:32] ---
A strategy meeting right
in front of your enemy?
[12:35] ---
I know what you have up your sleeves.
[12:37] ---
Oh? Well, you are the
school nurse, after all.
[12:41] ---
You're never at a loss for words.
[12:43] ---
All right. Shall we begin?
[12:46] ---
Nake snake cobra cobra ra,
nake snake cobra cob bra...
[12:52] ---
Listen. Don't worry about
getting past her on your first try.
[12:55] ---
An opening will present itself.
Stay calm and collected.
[13:00] ---
Here she comes!
[13:02] ---
Vector Arrow!
[13:03] ---
Times Three!
[13:07] ---
A perfect spell for
keeping multiple people at bay.
[13:10] ---
It's much more powerful
than last time, too!
[13:15] ---
Liz! If you get scared, just go to sleep!
[13:17] ---
O-Okay!
[13:18] ---
I ain't gonna hold back!
[13:20] ---
Tsubaki! Enchanted Sword Mode!
[13:22] ---
Right!
[13:25] ---
Prepare to be punished, impudent boy!
[13:28] ---
Death Slide!
[13:32] ---
Alright!
[13:33] ---
We got through!
[13:35] ---
Maka! Black☆Star! I’m going on ahead!
[13:38] ---
Tsubaki!
[13:39] ---
Right!
[13:45] ---
Why, you...!
[13:46] ---
Yahoo!
[13:48] ---
They've both made it through!
[13:49] ---
Enchanted Sword Mode off!
[13:52] ---
Let's hurry ahead!
[13:54] ---
Maka! Go after them!
[13:56] ---
Right!
[13:57] ---
All vectors to Maka!
[14:00] ---
I've seen this spell's
trajectory once before.
[14:02] ---
And the trajectory I have
to take is already set in stone.
[14:08] ---
Right down the middle!
[14:10] ---
The Vector Arrows will fly
as if wrapping around Medusa.
[14:15] ---
If there's any way through them,
the center is the best route.
[14:18] ---
But the center is where the
arrows are the most intimidating.
[14:22] ---
A moment's hesitation will prove lethal!
[14:24] ---
If she doesn't reach her before
the arrows gather in the center...
[14:27] ---
she's dead!
[14:28] ---
Focus on running!
[14:31] ---
Speed up as fast as you can!
[14:37] ---
Driving fear away by
cutting out what you see, huh?
[14:43] ---
The arrows sound near!
[14:47] ---
Maka!
[14:52] ---
Damn! The worst possible
image comes to mind!
[14:56] ---
The fear is making my legs feel heavier...
[14:59] ---
No! That's what can make me really run!
[15:03] ---
Speed up!
[15:05] ---
I won't be beaten!
[15:12] ---
Amusing! You're not going anywhere!
[15:15] ---
Soul Force!
[15:22] ---
You're dealing with me.
[15:30] ---
Alright! Let's go after the other two!
[15:33] ---
Yeah!
[15:36] ---
I miscalculated. To think
all three would get past me...
[15:40] ---
But as long as I stop you,
this plan will still succeed.
[15:44] ---
Those three pose no problem at all.
[15:48] ---
I wouldn't underestimate
those children if I were you.
[15:51] ---
Haven't you been paying
attention during your time at DWMA?
[15:56] ---
You must be a fool.
[15:58] ---
Juvenile boy.
[16:00] ---
Well, no matter. The Demon
Sword is waiting for them next.
[16:10] ---
Huh?
[16:11] ---
Hey. Did something
just zoom by here like crazy?
[16:15] ---
Yeah...
[16:17] ---
Medusa.
[16:18] ---
Seeing you in your nurse's
outfit never ceased to excite me.
[16:22] ---
I thought I would be the only
one to strip you of that outfit...
[16:27] ---
I danced with her, you know.
[16:29] ---
Yeah, I saw! Damn you
for beating me to the punch!
[16:33] ---
Must you always joke when
you're around me? It's repulsive.
[16:37] ---
Oh? It is?
[16:43] ---
Yes. That's perfect. I'll let you
dance with me again looking like that.
[16:49] ---
I'm afraid not. Not with
your feet like that, anyway.
[16:55] ---
My feet! When did...?!
[16:57] ---
Soul-thread Sutures.
[16:59] ---
My soul wavelength that I blasted
into your body just a minute ago
[17:04] ---
still resides inside you,
almost like an electric charge.
[17:10] ---
I manipulated that wavelength
like thread to sew your feet down.
[17:15] ---
You're able to control it that precisely?
[17:18] ---
A weapon doesn't just
amplify a meister's wavelength.
[17:22] ---
It's also possible to raise the
accuracy of wavelength control.
[17:26] ---
So it's a technique only powerful
meisters and weapons can pull off...
[17:30] ---
Medusa. I have only this to say to you.
[17:34] ---
I'm the only Death Scythe in DWMA now.
[17:37] ---
If I allow the Kishin to revive now,
I won't be able to show my face
[17:40] ---
around any of the other
Death Scythes throughout the world.
[17:43] ---
In other words?
[17:44] ---
In other words...
[17:45] ---
Your point is that we
will prevail, right, Senpai?
[17:49] ---
Wha... Stein! Don't say
the big line before me!
[17:54] ---
Medusa... You're through!
[17:59] ---
Soul Force!
[18:03] ---
Sutures!
[18:07] ---
Now to finish you!
[18:08] ---
This isn't the direction you're headed.
[18:11] ---
Vector Plate!
[18:18] ---
What happened?!
[18:19] ---
Whatever is atop these plates
gets blasted in the arrow's direction.
[18:27] ---
The plates work on me too, of course.
[18:32] ---
Vector Plate!
[18:37] ---
I'm afraid of fighting you
in close quarters, you see.
[18:42] ---
Damn! Not again!
[18:43] ---
Now come on back!
[18:46] ---
Sutures!
[18:49] ---
You sewed your own body
to keep yourself in place?
[18:52] ---
But... can you dodge this like that?
[18:55] ---
Light Serpent!
[18:57] ---
Removal!
[19:00] ---
Good one! Timing things just
right and using the plate to counter!
[19:04] ---
Vector Storm!
[19:10] ---
Stein!
[19:15] ---
There are 1000 snakes inside my body.
[19:18] ---
They won't let any nearby prey escape.
[19:21] ---
Afraid of close quarters fighting,
my ass! You're a close-range witch!
[19:26] ---
That, and your sneaking in as
school nurse... You're nothing but lies!
[19:30] ---
Is that so?
[19:32] ---
I wouldn't be so sure...
[19:35] ---
"Won't you join me?"
[19:37] ---
I really meant what I said at the party.
[19:42] ---
I want you. And you're
interested in the world that I desire.
[19:49] ---
What do you say, Franken Stein?
[19:51] ---
I'm asking you not as a DWMA
instructor, but as a man of learning.
[19:57] ---
Hey, what's the matter, Stein?!
[19:59] ---
Vector Plate.
[20:04] ---
Dr. Stein. The vectors
around you all point to me.
[20:10] ---
I always get what I want.
[20:15] ---
There is no escape.
[20:17] ---
Oh no. We let someone get
through so easily...
[20:21] ---
We're going to get in
trouble again. I don't want that...
[20:25] ---
You're the Demon Sword?
[20:27] ---
You seem pretty weak to me.
I won't get any attention fighting you.
[20:37] ---
You look pretty messed up. You alright?
[20:45] ---
But, who cares about you! The
main issue here is how I handle things!
[20:51] ---
Be careful, Black☆Star!
[20:53] ---
Wait, Black☆Star!
[20:57] ---
You made it here quick,
for someone as dumb as you.
[21:00] ---
The Demon Sword...
[21:02] ---
Let me handle this.
[21:04] ---
What?
[21:05] ---
But, Maka.
[21:07] ---
Dr. Stein’s plan was for Black☆Star
to take care of the Demon Sword...
[21:11] ---
Our attacks don't work on the Demon Sword!
[21:14] ---
You idiot! Don't steal my spotlight!
[21:20] ---
Come on, girlie. Keep
acting cocky and I'll kill you!
[21:29] ---
This is my chance at vengeance.
[21:33] ---
Can't believe a good student
like you is disobeying a teacher.
[21:38] ---
What's the deal? A rebellious phase?
[21:40] ---
Be quiet.
[21:42] ---
Alright, then. This spotlight is all yours.

[23:21] ---
Wait, hold on! I'm Kid, not Soul!
[23:24] ---
Don't worry! We will make
him pay for what he did, Soul!
[23:27] ---
Listen, I'm not Soul!
[23:29] ---
I'm going to get stronger!
[23:30] ---
Listen, I'm not...!
[23:31] ---
You all set, Soul?
[23:33] ---
I'm not Soul!
[23:34] ---
Next time on Soul Eater, episode 20:
[23:36] ---
"The Black Blood Resonance Battle! A Small
Soul's Grand Struggle Against Fear?"
[23:41] ---
Your soul is mine!
[23:43] ---
I'm telling you, I'm not Kid! Oh, wait!
