**[00:13] ---**
*A sound "soul"*
**[00:16] ---**
*dwells within a sound mind*
**[00:18] ---**
*and a sound body.*
**[00:45] ---**
Evil Monk Rasputin, your soul is mine!
**[00:50] ---**
No way!
**[00:51] ---**
Not even bullets can harm this body!
**[01:05] ---**
I don't know how many bullets you've taken,
**[01:09] ---**
but I'm still going to devour your soul,
**[01:11] ---**
which has turned into a Kishin egg.
**[01:27] ---**
Aah... souls are so yummy...
**[01:31] ---**
*These days are cool. This
morning is cool, too, of course.*
**[01:36] ---**
*A morning fit for someone as cool as I am.*
**[01:39] ---**
Oh, Soul...
**[01:42] ---**
It's about time you were getting up.
**[01:45] ---**
B-Blair?!
**[01:47] ---**
Unless, of course...
**[01:52] ---**
All right, those are done.
**[01:57] ---**
Want to stay here, and have fun with me?
**[02:04] ---**
Soul, it's time to go to school.
Hurry and eat your breakfast.
**[02:10] ---**
Good morning, Maka.
**[02:18] ---**
*A morning like this...*
**[02:20] ---**
*with romantic comedy like this...*
**[02:25] ---**
Soul...
**[02:27] ---**
you idiot!!
**[02:31] ---**
*Is not at all cool.*
**[02:49] ---**
*Tsunaida tamashii no hi ga*

**[04:08] ---**
How many souls have you gotten?
**[04:10] ---**
12. How about you?
**[04:12] ---**
Hey, Maka...
**[04:14] ---**
Be quiet.
**[04:15] ---**
I'm reading a book right now.
Leave me alone.
**[04:17] ---**
What are you so angry
about, you study hound?
**[04:24] ---**
Maka...
**[04:26] ---**
Chop!!
**[04:32] ---**
So, what did you want to talk about?
**[04:35] ---**
I heard something earlier.
**[04:38] ---**
Our last teacher... what
was his name again?
**[04:42] ---**
You know, the one who croaked.
**[04:44] ---**
Stabbed with a Statue of
Liberty, right in the forehead.
**[04:47] ---**
Sid*-sensei*, right? The
Statue-to-the-forehead incident.
**[04:51] ---**
So?
**[04:53] ---**
Have you heard the talk
about some strange bastard
**[04:56] ---**
coming after the students of DWMA lately?
**[04:58] ---**
Someone in the next class over
supposedly got beaten to a pulp.
**[05:02] ---**
Anyhow, everyone who's seen
the guy all say the same thing.
**[05:07] ---**
"The culprit was a zombie,
with a hole in his forehead!"
**[05:15] ---**
You didn't have to slug me.
**[05:17] ---**
Are you saying it's Sid*-sensei*?
**[05:20] ---**
No way. I'll bet it's just
something someone made up.
**[05:24] ---**
Hey, quiet down! Class is starting!
**[05:28] ---**
That's the new teacher?
**[05:31] ---**
Attendance is a pain, so I won't take it.
**[05:34] ---**
I'll also say something right up front.
**[05:37] ---**
The bell doesn't decide when class is over.
**[05:41] ---**
*I* do.
**[05:46] ---**
*What do you think, Maka?
I nailed it, didn't I?*
**[05:51] ---**
Hey,
**[05:53] ---**
I get the feeling that your
dumb dad is making a strange face,
**[05:55] ---**
and looking this way.
**[05:57] ---**
S-Sure it's not your imagination?
**[06:00] ---**
Besides, he's not my papa.
**[06:02] ---**
Hey, Death Scythe, are you
going to be our teacher from now on?
**[06:07] ---**
I'm just here temporarily,
**[06:08] ---**
until we find a replacement
for Sid, who croaked earlier.
**[06:11] ---**
Also, it's "Death Scythe*-sensei*," right?
**[06:15] ---**
Don't drop the "*sensei*" part, you dope!
**[06:19] ---**
Now then, let's take attendance.
**[06:21] ---**
You just said you *weren't* taking it!
**[06:23] ---**
I said I wasn't taking it for
the boys. I *am* taking it for the girls.
**[06:28] ---**
Stop screwing around, you dirty old coot!
**[06:29] ---**
Loser...
**[06:31] ---**
Put a sock in it, already.
**[06:33] ---**
*Soul Eater... Soul Eater...*
**[06:36] ---**
"Soul"
**[06:36] ---**
*Oh, there he is.*
**[06:37] ---**
"Evaluation"
**[06:38] ---**
*Evaluation...*
**[06:39] ---**
*lowest marks.*
**[06:42] ---**
Okay, let's get class started.
**[06:45] ---**
Hey, you! You just wrote
something down, didn't you?!
**[06:47] ---**
Oh, right. Maka and Soul...
**[06:50] ---**
What, you dirty old coot?
**[06:52] ---**
Lord Death called for you.
Never mind class, go see him.
**[06:56] ---**
Shoo, shoo.
**[06:58] ---**
Lord Death?
**[07:04] ---**
*"Engage the Witch Hunter!
A Remedial Lesson in the Graveyard?"*
**[07:11] ---**
Excuse us.
**[07:14] ---**
I wonder what Lord Death wants with us.
**[07:17] ---**
Who knows?
**[07:19] ---**
Soul and Maka...
**[07:22] ---**
To think you'd turn your backs to me.
**[07:24] ---**
Let's go, Tsubaki!
**[07:26] ---**
Right.
**[07:28] ---**
Rule of assassination number 1!
**[07:30] ---**
Blend in with the
darkness, hold your breath,
**[07:33] ---**
and wait for a chance at your target!
**[07:35] ---**
Ah, it's Black☆Star.
**[07:37] ---**
What are you up there shouting for?
**[07:43] ---**
They completely noticed us.
**[07:45] ---**
My uncontrollable star-ness
worked against me, did it?
**[07:49] ---**
No matter.
**[07:50] ---**
This is so much my era, it's scary.
I'm too much, huh, Tsubaki?
**[07:55] ---**
You sure are.
**[07:56] ---**
He is?
**[07:58] ---**
What's up? Were you guys
called here by Lord Death, too?
**[08:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:04] ---**
Okay, I'll call him. 42-42-564...
**[08:16] ---**
Hello, hello, Lord Death?
**[08:18] ---**
Yes, yes, howdy, howdy,
howdy. Thanks for coming.
**[08:24] ---**
This is scythemeister Maka...
**[08:25] ---**
Dark arms-meister Black☆Star...
**[08:28] ---**
His partner, Tsubaki...
**[08:30] ---**
So, what do you need?
**[08:31] ---**
There's a little something
I'd like you to take.
**[08:35] ---**
What's that?
**[08:36] ---**
A remedial class.
**[08:38] ---**
Huh? A remedial class,
like the kind that dummies take?
**[08:42] ---**
No way. As someone who's
going to be the ultimate Death Scythe,
**[08:45] ---**
I'm not taking that.
**[08:46] ---**
What is your duty as meisters and weapons?
**[08:49] ---**
Sir, to recover 99 souls
who have left the human path
**[08:52] ---**
and become Kishin eggs,
and one witch's soul,
**[08:57] ---**
to make a Death Scythe,
the weapon of Lord Death.
**[09:01] ---**
That is correct.
**[09:04] ---**
But currently, the number
of souls you've all collected
**[09:07] ---**
is zero, isn't it?
**[09:14] ---**
This is no time to be laughing.
**[09:16] ---**
Now then, as for the
content of this remedial course,
**[09:20] ---**
I'm sure you've already heard the rumors?
**[09:22] ---**
About Sid*-sensei*, who was a
teacher here at DWMA up until recently?
**[09:26] ---**
There, you see? I was
telling you the truth.
**[09:30] ---**
Uh-huh. But he was such a great teacher.
**[09:34] ---**
"Sid"
**[09:34] ---**
Indeed, he was a nice,
quiet teacher in life,
**[09:38] ---**
but after becoming a zombie, and
being freed from the fear of death,
**[09:41] ---**
he said something about
letting the students
**[09:44] ---**
go through the same experience he had,
**[09:46] ---**
so now he's holding a
class for his own satisfaction,
**[09:49] ---**
and staging bothersome
attacks on our students.
**[09:51] ---**
What's more, there's no doubt
that whoever turned Sid*-sensei*
**[09:55] ---**
into a zombie is pulling
the strings behind the scenes.
**[09:58] ---**
Okay! Let us handle it, sir!
**[10:01] ---**
What you're saying is, we just
have to come down on them, right?
**[10:04] ---**
That's what I'm saying.
**[10:06] ---**
Now, I'm not trying to scare you,
**[10:08] ---**
but if you happen to fail
this remedial class, or anything,
**[10:11] ---**
There will be a friendly
expulsion for all of you.
**[10:13] ---**
E-E-Expulsion?!
**[10:16] ---**
It's all right, I tell you!
You just let *me* take care of this!
**[10:32] ---**
Hey! Come on out, you zombie bastard!
**[10:35] ---**
Say, Tsubaki, is this Sid's grave?
**[10:38] ---**
Is he even in there? He
was out moving around.
**[10:43] ---**
Still, I think maybe we
should start with his grave.
**[10:48] ---**
I'm not about to get expelled!
**[10:50] ---**
--It looks like just an ordinary grave.
**[10:50] ---**
--Come on out! Come on out, you!
**[10:53] ---**
I never listened in your class!
**[10:57] ---**
Soul is off his rocker.
**[11:00] ---**
I thought I was a superb
scythemeister, like Mom.
**[11:04] ---**
When did I fall behind?
**[11:09] ---**
--Come on! Get out here!
Get out here, I tell you!
**[11:09] ---**
--What's she so down about?
**[11:11] ---**
--Black☆Star, you should be
concerned, too, okay?
**[11:12] ---**
--You're a zombie! Don't go
trying to look like a bigshot!
**[11:16] ---**
Hurry up! Where are
you, you zombie bastard?!
**[11:18] ---**
Hey, Soul, let's take a
leak on Sid's grave!
**[11:22] ---**
Yeah, let's do that! And
let's take a dump while we're at it!
**[11:24] ---**
--Come on, you zombie! Get out here!
**[11:25] ---**
--I wonder if I can get up.
**[11:26] ---**
--Mm-hmm, I can. I can still go on.
**[11:27] ---**
--We're gonna let you have it! Hurry up!
**[11:29] ---**
--But I'm not getting up...
**[11:31] ---**
--Somebody... stop them...!
**[11:41] ---**
Maka!
**[11:43] ---**
Are you scared?
**[11:46] ---**
I'll bet you're scared!
**[11:51] ---**
That's Sid*-sensei*?
**[11:52] ---**
Looks that way.
**[11:54] ---**
Maka, Soul, Black☆Star,
Tsubaki, good morning,
**[12:00] ---**
good day, good evening,
**[12:05] ---**
long time no see...
**[12:09] ---**
I never failed to say my greetings.
**[12:11] ---**
That's the kind of man I was.
**[12:14] ---**
Tsubaki, we're going at him, too.
**[12:16] ---**
Right.
**[12:21] ---**
It's started.
**[12:23] ---**
Sid*-sensei*, why are you doing this?
**[12:31] ---**
Being a zombie is great.
**[12:33] ---**
You stop caring about all sorts of things.
**[12:36] ---**
Let's start class.
I start class right at the bell.
**[12:41] ---**
That's the kind of man I was.
**[12:43] ---**
Fine.
**[12:44] ---**
It's been a while.
**[12:46] ---**
Let me show you my
fanatical classroom comportment!
**[12:49] ---**
We've got an expulsion
riding on this. We'll take this
**[12:53] ---**
decaying, past-its-use-by-date
class of yours.
**[12:57] ---**
Once you become a zombie,
the pressure of dying disappears.
**[13:01] ---**
You can escape your fears.
**[13:03] ---**
This isn't right.
**[13:05] ---**
You weren't the sort of person
who would say something like that.
**[13:07] ---**
Learn, don't just listen!
**[13:12] ---**
Black☆Star!
**[13:13] ---**
You're little, and I'm big!
No need to thank me.
**[13:16] ---**
I'm not very patient!
**[13:19] ---**
That's the kind of man I was!
**[13:23] ---**
Give up now. One-star
meisters can't defeat me.
**[13:28] ---**
I don't care if you *are* a zombie,
once I get your soul, you're through!
**[13:31] ---**
Sid*-sensei* is strong.
**[13:33] ---**
Unlike us one-star meisters,
he was a three-star meister,
**[13:37] ---**
the highest rank, when he was alive.
**[13:40] ---**
Well, isn't that something?
**[13:42] ---**
Hey, Teacher! You swing
that tombstone around like that,
**[13:45] ---**
you're gonna catch hell,
and end up getting killed again.
**[13:48] ---**
It's my tombstone.
I can treat it however I want to.
**[13:52] ---**
Now then, let's start second period.
**[14:00] ---**
By the way, when this period
is over, you are all going to die, too!
**[14:07] ---**
We're not even that far into the new term.
**[14:10] ---**
I'd like to go home right
now, and have a bath.
**[14:16] ---**
I'm so bored...
**[14:23] ---**
Maybe I should go to school, too.
**[14:27] ---**
Maka and Soul seem to enjoy it, after all.
**[14:34] ---**
What's the matter?! You need
to understand each other better!
**[14:37] ---**
Your wavelengths as meister
and weapon are all out of sync!
**[14:40] ---**
You're lecturing the
person you're fighting?!
**[14:42] ---**
I'm an ardent teacher,
passionate about education!
**[14:46] ---**
That's the kind of man I was!
**[14:48] ---**
I'll give you a grave for your life.
**[14:51] ---**
Living End!
**[14:58] ---**
Black☆Star!
**[15:02] ---**
Sid*-sensei* was a knifemeister.
**[15:04] ---**
He can fight this well, without
even using a magic weapon?
**[15:10] ---**
*That's what it is to be
a three-star meister?*
**[15:19] ---**
Class is over.
**[15:22] ---**
Are you about ready to die?
**[15:24] ---**
What do you say? You're
afraid to die, right?
**[15:28] ---**
Once you're a zombie,
you'll be freed from that fear.
**[15:32] ---**
Urgh, now I'm mad.
**[15:35] ---**
Would you just shut up
already, you zombie bastard?
**[15:39] ---**
Your "class" never got
started in the first place,
**[15:43] ---**
you moldering dope!
**[15:46] ---**
I'm on-stage here, you know!
**[15:49] ---**
Three-stars, one-star, it's all the same!
**[15:52] ---**
I am...
**[15:54] ---**
Black☆Star!
**[15:58] ---**
*He hit one of my pressure
points, my solar plexus, dead-on!*
**[16:02] ---**
Hmm, that was a nice attack.
**[16:05] ---**
It's just like Black☆Star to
excel at the assassination arts.
**[16:08] ---**
Tsubaki, Dark Arm Mode, Shuriken!
**[16:10] ---**
Right!
**[16:15] ---**
You won't get away!
**[16:16] ---**
This is nothing!
**[16:18] ---**
Maka, here he comes!
**[16:20] ---**
Living End!
**[16:27] ---**
What?!
**[16:29] ---**
*She slipped into that tiny opening?*
**[16:33] ---**
It's because of their sense of
fear that anyone tries to get stronger!
**[16:37] ---**
Oh?
**[16:43] ---**
Not sensing fear is
usually a reckless thing,
**[16:47] ---**
but Maka has the courage
to fight *with* her fear.
**[16:57] ---**
Maka...
**[17:00] ---**
Let's do it. Match soul
wavelengths with me.
**[17:03] ---**
But we've never successfully
done that before.
**[17:07] ---**
We can do it. We'll be able to pull it off!
**[17:11] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[17:18] ---**
Soul Resonance!
**[17:34] ---**
Scythemeister technique of lore!
**[17:39] ---**
Witch Hunter!
**[17:59] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
Are you trying to kill me?!
**[18:01] ---**
Hey, that was *your* fault,
Soul! Do it right, you idiot!
**[18:05] ---**
Huh? Give me a break!
How was that *my* fault?!
**[18:08] ---**
What are you, daft?! You're
out of your mind, aren't you?! Die!
**[18:11] ---**
--Die? How mean! *You* die!
**[18:12] ---**
--What force...!
**[18:13] ---**
--Shut up! Die in a fire!
**[18:15] ---**
I wanted to go after him simple-like,
**[18:18] ---**
without any big techniques!
**[18:21] ---**
Huh? He disappeared?
**[18:23] ---**
No, he sunk into the ground!
**[18:25] ---**
He sunk?
**[18:35] ---**
Damn! He sunk down again!
**[18:39] ---**
Black☆Star...
**[18:40] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[18:43] ---**
What Sid is doing is the
first rule of assassination.
**[18:47] ---**
"Blend in with the darkness,
hold your breath,
**[18:50] ---**
and wait for a chance at your target."
**[18:55] ---**
Tsubaki,
**[18:56] ---**
Let's go one step ahead of him.
**[18:59] ---**
Right.
**[19:05] ---**
*Don't you get up on my stage,
you moldering zombie!*
**[19:10] ---**
*Black☆Star's breathing has changed.*
**[19:14] ---**
*We don't need a second assassin here.*
**[19:17] ---**
*I'm not in the limelight!*
**[19:20] ---**
*Trap☆Star!*
**[19:26] ---**
*Rule of assassination number 2...*
**[19:42] ---**
*Concentrate... You'll hear
the wavelength of his soul...*
**[19:48] ---**
*It's coming through to
you through Tsubaki...*
**[19:56] ---**
*His breathing stopped.*
**[19:57] ---**
Here it comes.
**[20:04] ---**
Trap☆Star activate!
**[20:06] ---**
You should take some
antiseptic after eating. You reek!
**[20:15] ---**
Hey! Don't catch me, too!
**[20:19] ---**
You also got in the way.
**[20:22] ---**
Hmm, I guess that takes
care of that, for the time being.
**[20:27] ---**
All that's left now is the wirepuller
who zombified Sid*-sensei*, right?
**[20:31] ---**
Yes, yes.
**[20:32] ---**
Who is it, Father?
**[20:38] ---**
He's no small-timer, is he?
**[20:40] ---**
Death Scythe is the greatest
weapon around at the moment.
**[20:44] ---**
You know which meister
trained him up, don't you?
**[20:48] ---**
Mm-hmm, Maka's mother, right?
**[20:50] ---**
What about it?
**[20:52] ---**
As it happens, Maka's mother
was Death Scythe's *second* partner.
**[20:59] ---**
Which means... by any
chance, was it his first one?
**[21:03] ---**
The wirepuller's name is
Doctor Franken Stein.
