**[00:13] ---**
*A sound "soul"*
**[00:16] ---**
*dwells within a sound mind*
**[00:18] ---**
*and a sound body.*
**[00:27] ---**
*The battle for the Kishin
was drawing to a close.*
**[00:31] ---**
*Death Scythe and I wanted to end our fight*
**[00:34] ---**
*with Medusa as quickly as possible...*
**[00:38] ---**
*But Medusa was aware of this
and attempted to draw out the fight.*
**[00:47] ---**
What?!
**[00:48] ---**
Soul Force!
**[00:59] ---**
*Medusa and I found ourselves in a deadlock.*
**[01:03] ---**
*Neither of us was able
to take a single step...*
**[01:12] ---**
*Meanwhile, Kid's group
fought one last battle*
**[01:16] ---**
*to prevent the Kishin's revival.*
**[01:19] ---**
Take this!
**[01:20] ---**
Eruka!
**[01:23] ---**
Where's the black blood?!
**[01:27] ---**
Out of the way!
**[01:29] ---**
*Kid and Black*☆*Star tried to destroy
the syringe filled with black blood.*
**[01:34] ---**
--*Free and Eruka tried to stick the
syringe into the Kishin.*
**[01:35] ---**
--Gotcha!
**[01:42] ---**
*It appeared that Black☆Star was
victorious in the desperate battle...*
**[01:51] ---**
*In actuality, Black☆Star
had been hallucinating.*
**[02:01] ---**
We failed?
**[02:10] ---**
*At that moment, my battle
with Medusa reached a conclusion.*
**[02:32] ---**
*And then... the Kishin revived.*
**[03:00] ---**
*If the lamps of linked souls*
**[03:03] ---**
*point to your heart,*
**[03:06] ---**
*do you hear the echoes now,*
**[03:09] ---**
*stronger than words?*
**[03:23] ---**
*We barely ever look each other in the eye,*
**[03:26] ---**
*yet our very fates are becoming entwined*
**[03:29] ---**
*Our destinations overlap completely,*
**[03:32] ---**
*so run with me through the slippery night*
**[03:35] ---**
*Though the glare that
comes from being too tenacious*
**[03:40] ---**
*may carry over into bad dreams*
**[03:47] ---**
*If the lamps of linked souls*
**[03:50] ---**
*point to your heart,*
**[03:52] ---**
*do you hear the echoes now,*
**[03:55] ---**
*stronger than words?*
**[03:59] ---**
*The reasons why we ever met don't matter*
**[04:01] ---**
*We are drawn together*
**[04:04] ---**
*The more we are hurt
in the moments we touch,*
**[04:07] ---**
*the clearer things become*
**[04:23] ---**
What is it? What's wrong, Maka?
**[04:26] ---**
This madness wavelength...
**[04:29] ---**
The Kishin has revived?
**[04:32] ---**
What about Black☆Star and the others?
**[04:34] ---**
I don't know. With all this madness,
I can't sense any wavelengths.
**[04:40] ---**
Let's hurry!
**[06:16] ---**
*"The Battle of the Gods...
Death City on the Verge of Collapse?"*
**[06:28] ---**
W-What?! It's...
surprised at Eruka?!
**[06:34] ---**
Damn, that's annoying...
**[06:37] ---**
Black☆Star!
**[06:41] ---**
So *he's* the Kishin?
**[06:45] ---**
Tsubaki! Enchanted Sword Mode!
**[06:47] ---**
We're gonna kill him
before he can do anything!
**[06:49] ---**
I can't! Your body has
already taken a real beating!
**[06:54] ---**
If you use Enchanted Sword any more,
**[06:56] ---**
I'll end up cutting off part of your soul!
**[06:59] ---**
Shut up and do what I say!
Hurry! Enchanted Sword Mode!
**[07:03] ---**
I can't!
**[07:05] ---**
Then you can sit there and watch!
**[07:07] ---**
Black☆Star!
**[07:08] ---**
Let's go, too!
**[07:09] ---**
'Kay!
**[07:10] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[07:11] ---**
Take this, you damn naked pervert!
**[07:14] ---**
Black Star Big Wave!
**[07:21] ---**
*My body can't even endure
my own wavelength!*
**[07:26] ---**
I'm just getting started!
**[07:35] ---**
Black☆Star!
**[07:36] ---**
Damn you!
**[07:50] ---**
Kid!
**[08:12] ---**
I'm naked!
**[08:15] ---**
I need to cover up!
**[08:17] ---**
The macho look sure is nice!
**[08:21] ---**
Does he mean me?
**[08:23] ---**
He's getting away?!
**[08:29] ---**
Maka!
**[08:32] ---**
No, you don't!
**[08:37] ---**
This is great!
**[08:38] ---**
Awesome!
**[08:40] ---**
Do more!
**[08:42] ---**
Lust, lust!
**[08:43] ---**
I've had dreams about catfights like this!
**[08:48] ---**
Why, you...!
**[08:51] ---**
You're a witch, aren't you?!
Then use magic!
**[08:54] ---**
You first, you loser cat!
**[08:57] ---**
You're heavy! Get off already!
**[08:59] ---**
Shut up! Go hang around some
dirty gutters for the rest of your life!
**[09:03] ---**
Th-This is too much!
**[09:06] ---**
Hey! Does anyone else feel that shaking?!
**[09:09] ---**
You're just overexcited!
**[09:11] ---**
No, it really *is* shaking...
**[09:14] ---**
What's this? You're shaking?! How lame!
**[09:17] ---**
No! It's the ground that's
shaking, you idiot!
**[09:20] ---**
Huh? An earthquake?!
**[09:23] ---**
Looks like Eruka and the others succeeded.
**[09:36] ---**
Hey! What's that?!
**[09:38] ---**
Something came out of the ground!
**[09:41] ---**
That's the Kishin?
**[09:45] ---**
Maka!
**[09:59] ---**
I have to stop... the Kishin...
**[10:13] ---**
You're really something...
**[10:20] ---**
What?! Something else is coming out?!
**[10:26] ---**
W-What are those?!
**[10:28] ---**
Are those...?
**[10:33] ---**
Death's seals are still alive?
**[10:44] ---**
What *is* that?
**[10:48] ---**
Thanks to the big hole the Kishin
made, it was easy to come back up.
**[10:54] ---**
Ribbit!
**[10:55] ---**
Something's caught him!
**[10:57] ---**
Probably some of Death's
seals that just activated.
**[11:01] ---**
Will he be all right?
**[11:03] ---**
Such old seals can't
stop a newly-revived Kishin.
**[11:11] ---**
Torn almost like scrap paper!
**[11:14] ---**
Ribbit?!
**[11:16] ---**
Never mind that, Free!
**[11:19] ---**
Look! Up there!
**[11:21] ---**
Hey! Look!
**[11:24] ---**
What is it, Eruka?
**[11:26] ---**
You said your spell would last an hour!
**[11:30] ---**
But it's only been forty minutes!
**[11:33] ---**
Looks like I exaggerated
a little bit about the time.
**[11:37] ---**
I'm a man. Of course
I'll show off sometimes.
**[11:44] ---**
You...
**[12:00] ---**
Death...
**[12:15] ---**
Hiya. Long time, no see.
**[12:18] ---**
You okay? You're all spindly and stuff.
**[12:22] ---**
You always wore heavy clothing,
**[12:24] ---**
so it must be uncomfortable
with such light clothing now.
**[12:27] ---**
What about you? What's
with that comical mask?
**[12:31] ---**
Well, you see, after I
stuffed you in that bag,
**[12:35] ---**
I started a school for
meisters and weapons.
**[12:39] ---**
My old mask would scare the
kids senseless. It was really bad.
**[12:45] ---**
The little kids would even start crying.
**[12:49] ---**
Those seals are kind of scary too,
because they're from the old days.
**[12:54] ---**
I guess that also explains
your funny way of talking now.
**[12:58] ---**
I've grown quite used to it all.
**[13:01] ---**
I'm sorry to do this just
after you've woken up and all...
**[13:06] ---**
but it's time to die again.
**[13:09] ---**
Reaper Chop!
**[13:30] ---**
Death...
**[13:31] ---**
Do you know the pain of having
your skin torn from your entire body?
**[13:37] ---**
I've forgotten it myself.
**[13:45] ---**
Try to make me remember!
**[13:51] ---**
Shockwaves, huh?
**[14:12] ---**
Now it's my turn!
**[14:42] ---**
Oh no!
**[14:50] ---**
What is all this?! It's too overwhelming!
**[14:53] ---**
What are you doing?!
Split up and aid the injured!
**[14:57] ---**
Right!
**[14:58] ---**
While you're at it, lead the
citizens out of town! Is that clear?!
**[15:02] ---**
Understood!
**[15:05] ---**
*A serious fight between those two*
**[15:08] ---**
*could very well blow all
of Death City away!*
**[15:11] ---**
*We're counting on you, Lord Death!*
**[15:29] ---**
You're not going anywhere!
**[15:44] ---**
W-Whoa...
**[16:05] ---**
*Though he still isn't at full form,*
**[16:08] ---**
*without my Death Scythes, he
can strike me with a finishing blow...*
**[16:15] ---**
Outta the way!
**[16:19] ---**
Vajra!
**[16:37] ---**
You can't stop me!
**[16:46] ---**
Lord Death!
**[16:48] ---**
Curse you, you filthy swine!
**[16:51] ---**
I'm going to skin you alive again!
**[17:03] ---**
They bounced away?! Why?!
**[17:06] ---**
Damn you! You shrewd bastard!
**[17:11] ---**
You knew there was a
limit to my area of activity?!
**[17:16] ---**
I doubt we'll ever meet again.
**[17:21] ---**
Goodbye, Master.
**[17:48] ---**
Lord Death!
**[17:50] ---**
Sid...
**[17:52] ---**
Taking care of the children who
went underground takes priority...
**[17:56] ---**
Right!
**[17:57] ---**
And tell the Death Scythes scattered
across the continents to gather.
**[18:06] ---**
Understood, sir!
**[18:15] ---**
To think the anniversary of the
school I built to prevent more Kishins
**[18:20] ---**
would be the day a Kishin revives...
**[18:24] ---**
Things are about to get a lot busier.
**[18:36] ---**
We should be safe now!
**[18:39] ---**
Who are *you*, anyway?
**[18:41] ---**
A combination of five Mizunes.
**[18:46] ---**
I see.
**[18:48] ---**
I can't sense Medusa's magic power.
**[18:51] ---**
That's a relief.
**[18:53] ---**
It's just too bad I didn't
get to see her die.
**[18:58] ---**
In a way, I did look up to her, though.
**[19:01] ---**
There aren't many
witches out there of her caliber.
**[19:05] ---**
Funny, huh?
**[19:09] ---**
It looks like Lord Death and
the Kishin were fighting it out,
**[19:13] ---**
but the madness is fading now...
**[19:18] ---**
He escaped?
**[19:22] ---**
I wish I could've seen it.
**[19:25] ---**
Basically, had I not left Lord
Death's side, we could've stopped him.
**[19:30] ---**
This isn't good. I bet
everyone's gonna blame me...
**[19:35] ---**
There's no point in crying over spilt milk.
**[19:37] ---**
This isn't over yet.
**[19:40] ---**
If we don't figure out a way to fix this,
the world will be in grave trouble.
**[19:49] ---**
Stein!
**[19:51] ---**
Damn!
**[19:56] ---**
I love you, you know.
**[20:03] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[20:05] ---**
You're just like me. You
can't possibly understand love.
**[20:20] ---**
What kind of woman was that?!
She even extinguished her soul!
**[20:54] ---**
The effects of reviving a
Kishin are beyond imagination.
**[21:00] ---**
Its madness will spread like an illness...
**[21:08] ---**
*A long night it has been, indeed.*
**[21:10] ---**
*Certainly, some would say,
"What a long night it's been."*
**[21:15] ---**
*Yet, even after nights such as this...*
**[21:18] ---**
*morning will eventually come.*
**[21:25] ---**
Lust, lust, lust...
**[21:57] ---**
*It's beginning. If we knock*
**[22:01] ---**
*on the doors that connect you and me,*
**[22:05] ---**
*what kind of future will be waiting for us?*
**[22:14] ---**
*What grown-ups seek*
**[22:18] ---**
*is a perfect style,*
**[22:21] ---**
*where everything comes together someday,*
**[22:25] ---**
*as though it were a bunch of gears*
**[22:31] ---**
*God, if you're there, listen to me*
**[22:35] ---**
*You have to watch these days pass by,*
**[22:39] ---**
*with moments like these that will never,*
**[22:45] ---**
*ever repeat themselves*
**[22:48] ---**
*Which is why there are so many boys & girls*
**[22:52] ---**
*who want to be children*
**[22:54] ---**
*just a little while longer*
**[22:58] ---**
*out there in the world,
hiding out of sight and dreaming*
**[23:05] ---**
*in this story*
**[23:19] ---**
*The air in the outside
world really is nice.*
**[23:21] ---**
*Mr. Kishin! Mr. Kishin!*
**[23:22] ---**
*It must feel good to be
outside after all this time!*
**[23:24] ---**
*What's the first thing you want to do?*
**[23:26] ---**
*Stretch.*
**[23:26] ---**
*Then what did you most want
to do while you were sealed up?*
**[23:29] ---**
*Stretch.*
**[23:30] ---**
*What did you do for fun as a child?*
**[23:31] ---**
*Stretch.*
**[23:32] ---**
*Any hobbies?!*
**[23:32] ---**
*Stretching.*
**[23:33] ---**
--*Any special skills?!*
**[23:33] ---**
--*Stretching.*
**[23:34] ---**
*What's your dream?*
**[23:35] ---**
*To stretch.*
**[23:35] ---**
*What's that thing for
carrying injured people?*
**[23:37] ---**
*A stretcher.*
**[23:38] ---**
*Next time on Soul Eater, episode 25:*
**[23:41] ---**
*"The Death Scythes Convene...
Stop Dad's Staff Reassignment!!?"*
**[23:44] ---**
*Your soul is mine!*
