[00:13] ---
    A sound "soul"
[00:16] ---
    dwells within a sound mind
[00:18] ---
    and a sound body.
[00:28] ---
    The greatest meister to
    ever graduate from the DWMA,
[00:32] ---
    Dr. Stein.
[00:34] ---
    He's a tough one.
[00:38] ---
    He's the meister that was your
    weapon Death Scythe's first partner.
[00:42] ---
    You told them to go
    fetch this guy's soul, right?
[00:45] ---
    Still, you'd beat this guy easily, Sis.
[00:48] ---
    I'm just an unremarkable weapon.
[00:50] ---
    Patty, you give your
    sister too much credit.
[00:53] ---
    It's safe to say I'd be dead in an instant.
[00:56] ---
    Such an assignment for a remedial class
[00:58] ---
    is a bit too difficult, isn't it?
[01:02] ---
    There's no doubt about it,
[01:05] ---
    they will die.
[01:25] ---
    If the lamps of linked souls
[01:28] ---
    point to your heart,
[01:30] ---
    do you hear the echoes now,
[01:33] ---
    stronger than words?
[01:48] ---
    We barely ever look each other in the eye,
[01:51] ---
    yet our very fates are becoming entwined
[01:54] ---
    Our destinations overlap completely,
[01:56] ---
    so run with me through the slippery night
[02:00] ---
    Though the glare that
    comes from being too tenacious
[02:05] ---
    may carry over into bad dreams
[02:11] ---
    If the lamps of linked souls
[02:14] ---
    point to your heart,
[02:17] ---
    do you hear the echoes now,
[02:20] ---
    stronger than words?
[02:23] ---
    The reasons why we ever met don't matter
[02:26] ---
    We are drawn together
[02:28] ---
    The more we are hurt
    in the moments we touch,
[02:32] ---
    the clearer things become
[02:41] ---
    This is where Stein is, right?
[02:44] ---
    Let's hurry and settle this, and
    get this remedial class over with.
[02:53] ---
    Even the laboratory is patchwork?
[03:04] ---
    I wonder what sort of fellow
    this Dr. Stein is.
[03:17] ---
    Something's coming this way.
[03:31] ---
    Damn. It's still out of adjustment.
[03:38] ---
    Maybe about there?
[03:40] ---
    Okay! Let me try that again.
[03:45] ---
    Hey, someone stop him.
[03:47] ---
    But this is our first meeting.
[03:49] ---
    I'm a little bit curious.
[03:51] ---
    So am I.
[04:00] ---
    Nutty professor.
[04:06] ---
    "Shape of the Soul...
    Enter the Ultimate Meister Stein?"
[04:16] ---
    So, did you need something?
[04:20] ---
    You're Stein, right?
[04:22] ---
    You're the one behind the attacks
    on the academy’s students, aren't you?
[04:25] ---
    Ahh, yes, I see, you are
    students at the DWMA, are you?
[04:31] ---
    Do you have something against us?
[04:34] ---
    Not really. My motives are quite simple.
[04:38] ---
    It's observational research, that's all.
[04:41] ---
    That's what my driving force is.
[04:44] ---
    Everything in the world
    is my research material.
[04:47] ---
    Including myself, of course.
[04:54] ---
    Hey, Soul, do you feel funny somehow?
[04:58] ---
    Hm? You think?
[05:00] ---
    Your soul wavelengths
    are not very stable, huh?
[05:05] ---
    The soul of someone
    rebellious and sarcastic,
[05:08] ---
    and the soul of someone
    earnest, and a hard worker.
[05:11] ---
    They appear to be resonating,
    but they aren't.
[05:14] ---
    What? You can see the
    souls of living people?
[05:18] ---
    You're a meister?
[05:19] ---
    What's more, if he can
    even read our personalities,
[05:22] ---
    he's an ultra-first rate meister.
[05:25] ---
    Maka, you can see
    them clearly too, right?
[05:29] ---
    O-Of course!
[05:32] ---
    Your soul is fluctuating quite a bit.
[05:35] ---
    How cute.
[05:36] ---
    Shut up! Shut up! Don't look at me!
[05:38] ---
    Yeah, yeah, shut up, shut up!
[05:40] ---
    Yahoo! That's enough unremarkable
    talk from the common folk!
[05:44] ---
    From here on, it will be
    avant-garde conversation, about me!
[05:48] ---
    When did he...?
[05:50] ---
    Makes no difference to me
    if you're able to see souls or not.
[05:53] ---
    Who cares about other people's souls?!
[05:55] ---
    As long as I can see my
    own soul, that's good enough!
[06:00] ---
    You're something else.
[06:03] ---
    You have an intense,
    incredibly egocentric soul.
[06:07] ---
    There aren't very many partners
    that match a soul like yours, are there?
[06:13] ---
    Here I go! Yahoo!
[06:21] ---
    Black☆Star!
[06:24] ---
    Oh, I get it.
[06:26] ---
    You are his partner, huh?
[06:29] ---
    Highly collaborative, with a great
    capacity for acceptance of others.
[06:33] ---
    You are matching your
    soul wavelength to his, are you?
[06:38] ---
    Who are you?
[06:39] ---
    Now then, I've collected
    a certain amount of data.
[06:43] ---
    Shall we begin the experiment?
[06:48] ---
    We're all out of liquor!
[06:50] ---
    "Chupa Cabra's"
[06:50] ---
    Papa, you move fast, don't you?
[06:53] ---
    Just a minute, okay?
[06:55] ---
    Pump-pumpkin Pumpkin... hyoi!
[06:58] ---
    Blair, this is your third
    day here at the club, right?
[07:02] ---
    You're getting accustomed
    to it, aren't you?
[07:05] ---
    Thanks.
[07:06] ---
    Papa, you were at the school today, right?
[07:09] ---
    How was it? Did you get
    along all right with Maka?
[07:15] ---
    Meow?
[07:16] ---
    She ignored me.
[07:18] ---
    Oh, dear.
[07:19] ---
    No matter what I do, she
    gets hacked off at me.
[07:23] ---
    Maka is so adorable.
[07:24] ---
    But then, your divorce
    became official last month and all,
[07:28] ---
    turn that frown upside-down.
    Show me some guts!
[07:31] ---
    That's easy for you to say, but
    all my parental authority went away.
[07:36] ---
    My wife... I mean,
[07:37] ---
    my ex-wife... said she didn't
    want any alimony or child support.
[07:42] ---
    What am I to Maka? I'm her
    papa, and yet I'm not her papa.
[07:47] ---
    That's not true. A parent's role is
    not just to provide money, after all.
[07:51] ---
    Fight!
[07:53] ---
    Money is one form of affection, isn't it?
[07:56] ---
    It's awful, not being able
    to do anything for Maka.
[07:59] ---
    Well, why don't you
    turn this minus into a plus,
[08:02] ---
    make use of the womanizing
    that led to your divorce,
[08:05] ---
    and find yourself a new wife! Yay!
[08:08] ---
    No way! I couldn't think
    about getting remarried.
[08:12] ---
    These days have been abysmal.
[08:15] ---
    It's even worse than
    the time I was with Stein.
[08:17] ---
    You can't go depressing
    the customers, Blair.
[08:21] ---
    Meow!
[08:23] ---
    A scythemeister named Maka...
[08:29] ---
    Ee-yow!
[08:30] ---
    Hmm, what was it again?
    A scythemeister named Maka...
[08:35] ---
    Seems like I've heard
    about you somewhere.
[08:38] ---
    Ah! Are you Spirit's daughter?
[08:42] ---
    The time I spent with him was truly hell.
[08:47] ---
    Spirit?
[08:48] ---
    Papa's name, before he became Death Scythe.
[08:52] ---
    But how do you know that?
[08:54] ---
    I can still remember his
    face, while he slept.
[08:58] ---
    While... while I slept, he would...
[09:03] ---
    perform experiments on my body!
[09:07] ---
    What's worse, he did it for five years!
[09:10] ---
    F-Five years? I'm surprised
    you didn't realize it.
[09:14] ---
    Amazing! Papa, you really are insensitive!
[09:18] ---
    I thought it was weird.
[09:20] ---
    I kept getting scars on me
    that I didn't remember having.
[09:23] ---
    If my ex-wife hadn't noticed,
    those devilish experiments
[09:27] ---
    might still be going on now!
[09:30] ---
    Aha, I see. You are his
    dear young daughter.
[09:35] ---
    The daughter of the woman
    who stole my research material.
[09:40] ---
    I want to dissect you now.
[09:42] ---
    Still, you were partners
    for five years, right?
[09:46] ---
    Your soul wavelengths must have matched.
[09:48] ---
    If he had even the slightest
    curiosity about someone else's weapon,
[09:52] ---
    he could master it to some degree.
[09:55] ---
    When it came to taste and ability,
    he was a far cry above my wife...
[09:57] ---
    I mean, my ex-wife, who created me.
[10:02] ---
    Stein is a genius.
[10:05] ---
    It's just a palm heel strike! Guard up!
[10:07] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[10:15] ---
    What?
[10:16] ---
    What the hell did he do?
[10:19] ---
    Unbelievable.
[10:21] ---
    Weapons have a physical attack
    power, of course, but moreover,
[10:24] ---
    they amplify the soul wavelength
    of the meister, and deliver that blow.
[10:28] ---
    Did that man just hit them
    with his own soul wavelength,
[10:32] ---
    without even using a weapon?
[10:34] ---
    Mm-hmm. The relationship
    between meister and weapon
[10:37] ---
    is like that of an electric
    guitar to an amp, after all.
[10:40] ---
    The sound put out by
    just a guitar is awfully soft,
[10:48] ---
    but by connecting it to an amp,
    the soul wavelength is amplified,
[10:51] ---
    generating great power.
[10:55] ---
    Witch Hunter, the technique
    they demonstrated
[10:57] ---
    during that battle with
    Sid*-sensei*, is a good example.
[11:01] ---
    Although, that one ended in failure.
[11:05] ---
    But Stein took his own soul
    wavelength alone to play his guitar.
[11:11] ---
    How can that be?
[11:13] ---
    I can't even imagine what he
    was like when he had a weapon.
[11:18] ---
    Now then, who shall I take apart first?
[11:22] ---
    What's the matter, Maka?! Keep it together!
[11:25] ---
    Your breathing and wavelength are muddled!
[11:29] ---
    Wait, Maka!
[11:32] ---
    You dumbass!
[11:37] ---
    Maka...
[11:42] ---
    Such silky-smooth skin.
[11:45] ---
    Where shall I stick my scalpel in first?
[11:52] ---
    Want me to turn all of
    your skin into sandpaper?
[11:56] ---
    I'm gonna fracture those glasses of yours!
[11:58] ---
    Don't forget, I'm here, too!
[12:00] ---
    It's no use.
[12:01] ---
    You're not the only one who can hit someone
[12:04] ---
    with their soul wavelength directly!
[12:05] ---
    What?!
[12:06] ---
    Finishing strike! Black Star Big Wave!!
[12:13] ---
    Awesome.
[12:14] ---
    What?
[12:15] ---
    Impressive. Black☆Star's soul
    wavelength is astonishingly great.
[12:20] ---
    What's more, he's a
    prodigy when it comes to
[12:23] ---
    striking with his soul wavelength.
[12:26] ---
    However,
[12:27] ---
    he doesn't have the same experience.
[12:35] ---
    This is a surprise.
[12:37] ---
    What's going on here? It didn't work!
[12:40] ---
    He counteracted it...
[12:43] ---
    I checked out your soul
    data earlier, you know.
[12:47] ---
    If I know the nature
    of your soul wavelength,
[12:49] ---
    I can adjust my wavelength to match it.
[12:53] ---
    Once our wavelengths are matched,
[12:54] ---
    you lose all of your attack strength.
[12:57] ---
    The instant you launched your attack,
[12:59] ---
    you and I became paired like
    meister and weapon, as it were.
[13:04] ---
    He can do that?
[13:06] ---
    Observation, interaction,
    and a highly flexible soul...
[13:10] ---
    That's where Stein's
    greatest strengths lie.
[13:14] ---
    Now it's my turn to come at you.
[13:21] ---
    Black☆Star!
[13:25] ---
    Stop!
[13:42] ---
    Black☆Star!
[13:52] ---
    I can't take this. We're going there, too!
[13:55] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[13:56] ---
    Right!
[13:57] ---
    Hey, hold up, Kid.
[13:59] ---
    This is their remedial class.
    Besides, you are a shinigami.
[14:03] ---
    You are not a student of the DWMA.
[14:06] ---
    In that case, I'm becoming
    a student of the DWMA, right now.
[14:12] ---
    Father, place me on the
    student rolls, if you please.
[14:15] ---
    Liz, Patty...
[14:16] ---
    --Yeah!
[14:16] ---
    --Right, right!
[14:17] ---
    Whoa, whoa, you guys!
[14:20] ---
    Oh my, oh my...
[14:27] ---
    Black☆Star...
[14:32] ---
    Tsubaki, I'm not going to run or hide.
[14:36] ---
    That's not the kind of man I was.
[14:38] ---
    Go help them.
[14:45] ---
    Damn you, Stein! You'll pay for this!
[14:48] ---
    Maka, let's get fired up!
[14:53] ---
    No way...
[14:58] ---
    Huh? What's the matter?!
[15:00] ---
    I saw it...
[15:19] ---
    Looks like you saw my soul.
[15:21] ---
    It can't be... His level
    is too far above us.
[15:24] ---
    Hey, what's the matter, Maka?!
[15:28] ---
    It's hopeless.
[15:29] ---
    We can't win.
[15:31] ---
    Damn it, I'm hopeless! I could die!
[15:36] ---
    Aw, not again.
[15:38] ---
    How can this be? It's just
    possible that maybe I forgot to fold
[15:41] ---
    the end of the toilet
    paper back into a triangle.
[15:44] ---
    "Maybe," right? "Maybe."
    You usually do it just right, don't you?
[15:48] ---
    --You are just too OCD about these things!
[15:50] ---
    --It's started! It's started!
[15:52] ---
    --We have to get going, or they're done for.
[15:55] ---
    The toilet paper doesn't matter.
[15:57] ---
    Yes, it does so matter!
[16:00] ---
    If a shinigami who's such
    an idiot he can't even fold back
[16:02] ---
    the edge of the toilet paper
    properly goes to help them,
[16:05] ---
    they can't very well call him
    a savior! I'm sure they will be filled
[16:08] ---
    with a desire to be left alone!
[16:13] ---
    That's just not so. They're
    going to greet us with smiles.
[16:18] ---
    How about this...
[16:19] ---
    We dash back and check, then
    make a mad dash to go help them!
[16:24] ---
    No.
[16:25] ---
    Why not?!
[16:26] ---
    What do I do if it isn't folded back right?
[16:29] ---
    Everything that I am will
    be negated by the toilet paper!
[16:33] ---
    I can't go on living if that happens!
[16:34] ---
    Then die!
[16:38] ---
    What's the matter? Get it together!
[16:40] ---
    What are you doing, you dumbass?!
[16:43] ---
    Shut up!
[16:44] ---
    Soul, you can't see souls!
    That's why you can say that!
[16:52] ---
    So what if that's true?!
[16:55] ---
    What you saw was just his soul, right?!
[16:57] ---
    It's not as though you saw the future!
[16:59] ---
    Don't give up before the fight even starts!
[17:02] ---
    You're going to make me into
    the ultimate Death Scythe, right?!
[17:04] ---
    You're going to leave that stupid,
[17:06] ---
    skirt-chasing father of
    yours speechless, right?!
[17:07] ---
    Look up at me! I'm talking to you!
[17:20] ---
    Take a good look at him.
[17:22] ---
    While you're dilly-dallying
    around here, he's waiting for us.
[17:26] ---
    He's a pretty nice guy, isn't he?
[17:37] ---
    All right, let's make this cool!
[17:40] ---
    Sorry to be such a handful, Soul.
[17:44] ---
    Sure thing.
[17:53] ---
    Soul Resonance!
[18:01] ---
    Soul Resonance...
[18:04] ---
    when a meister sends their soul
    wavelength through their weapon,
[18:07] ---
    the weapon amplifies it, and
    returns it to the meister again.
[18:11] ---
    By doing that repeatedly,
[18:13] ---
    they are able to generate
    a powerful soul wavelength.
[18:20] ---
    Resonate as far as it will go!
[18:22] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[18:24] ---
    Surprising. She can
    perform Witch Hunter, at her age?
[18:28] ---
    You're planning to put
    everything into one shot, huh?
[18:35] ---
    Bring it on! Show me
    what your souls are made of!
[18:39] ---
    Scythemeister technique of lore!
[18:43] ---
    Witch Hunter!
[18:55] ---
    To think that she can control
    Witch Hunter to this extent...
[19:01] ---
    However, it's still unpolished.
[19:09] ---
    Soul...
[19:22] ---
    You appear to still be barely conscious.
[19:29] ---
    I won't let you lay a hand on my meister!
[19:33] ---
    Then I'll start with you.
[19:42] ---
    I give you a passing grade.
[19:47] ---
    The remedial class is over.
[19:50] ---
    Eh?
[19:51] ---
    It's pretty nice of you to risk
    your own life to protect your meister.
[19:57] ---
    Um, I know I'm repeating myself, but...
[20:00] ---
    Eh?
[20:02] ---
    You see, I was asked by Lord Death
[20:05] ---
    to give you this remedial course.
[20:08] ---
    But you killed Black☆Star!
[20:10] ---
    That's a funny thing to say.
[20:15] ---
    He's alive?
[20:17] ---
    Then, what about Sid*-sensei*?
[20:19] ---
    Oh, sorry about that, guys.
    I was a man who didn't deceive others,
[20:24] ---
    but that's when I was still alive.
[20:26] ---
    You gotta be kidding me!
    What is this bullcrap?!
[20:30] ---
    This whole thing was a set-up?!
[20:34] ---
    It couldn't be...
[20:37] ---
    Still, you have advanced, haven't you?
[20:39] ---
    I have to admit, it was pretty
    fun knocking you kids around!
[20:45] ---
    The sadistic streak is for real?!
[20:51] ---
    Come, everyone, you must be tired!
[20:54] ---
    Feel free to stay over at
    my place before heading home!
[20:57] ---
    No way, no how!
[21:03] ---
    I'm seriously worn out from yesterday.
[21:05] ---
    I had a dream where the
    professor experimented on me.
[21:09] ---
    Oh, crap! I was going to come
    in tardy, and draw some attention!
[21:12] ---
    You shouldn't do that.
[21:15] ---
    Come to think of it, have
    they decided on a new teacher yet?
[21:19] ---
    What if it's your old man again?
[21:21] ---
    Anything but that!
[21:28] ---
    Okay, class has begun!
[21:31] ---
    You're kidding.
[21:33] ---
    This may be the first time
    I ever wanted to see Papa.
[21:37] ---
    Tch, he draws too much attention.
[21:39] ---
    I'll start right off
    today with dissecting frogs.
[21:47] ---
    The stardust twinkles
[21:54] ---
    Star of my dreams
[22:00] ---
    I wanna be
[22:03] ---
    Let's go Let's go
[22:09] ---
    Let's go!
[22:16] ---
    I
[22:17] ---
    Wanna
[22:19] ---
    I wanna be (1-2-3-4!)
[22:21] ---
    The world is covered in blackness,
[22:26] ---
    but my breath is still white
[22:32] ---
    Ever since that day we promised
[22:34] ---
    to go smash up the present
[22:37] ---
    I'm sure we can still make it in time
[22:43] ---
    I wanna be
[22:45] ---
    counted together
[22:48] ---
    with pallid hopelessness
[22:53] ---
    Screaming out
[22:56] ---
    and run through
[22:59] ---
    before everything changes
[23:04] ---
    I
[23:06] ---
    Wanna
[23:07] ---
    I wanna be
[23:18] ---
    Ah, I thought we were dead.
[23:20] ---
    Hmph, a set-up only works when
    there's someone there to be fooled.
[23:23] ---
    You try being the one who gets fooled!
[23:25] ---
    Next time, it's the story
    of our first day at school.
[23:27] ---
    Running along with bread in my
    mouth, worrying about being tardy,
[23:29] ---
    I round the corner into symmetry!
[23:31] ---
    Wrong, I don't know what that means!
[23:32] ---
    Symmetry. Ah, it is the
    sound of enchantment.
[23:34] ---
    Like I said, I don't know what you mean.
[23:37] ---
    Next time on Soul Eater, episode 6:
[23:39] ---
    "The New Student: Kid’s First Day at the
    Academy Will it be an Entrance to Remember?"
[23:43] ---
    Symmetry is the greatest beauty.
[23:45] ---
    I'm supposed to talk there!
