[00:13] ---
    A sound "soul"
[00:16] ---
    dwells within a sound mind
[00:18] ---
    and a sound body.
[00:24] ---
    Where is this place?
[00:28] ---
    It's dark. I can't even see myself.
[00:34] ---
    It hurts.
[00:38] ---
    Which way is up, and which way is down?
[00:42] ---
    Where am I supposed to go?
[00:46] ---
    Help me.
[00:50] ---
    Light? A way out?
[00:54] ---
    No... stop!
[00:56] ---
    A voice? Maka! It's Maka's voice!
[01:00] ---
    Wait there! I'm coming now!
[01:02] ---
    Soul!
[01:15] ---
    Soul! Soul!
[01:18] ---
    What's the matter?
[01:19] ---
    Dr. Medusa! It's Soul...
[01:28] ---
    Soul...
[01:32] ---
    I'm all right.
[01:34] ---
    I'm all right. I just had a nasty dream.
[01:41] ---
    Good. But if anything does
    come up, call me right away, okay?
[01:48] ---
    Ragnarok's black blood has
    become mixed within Soul Eater.
[01:52] ---
    It looks like he might become
    one of my research subjects.
[02:14] ---
    If the lamps of linked souls
[02:17] ---
    point to your heart,
[02:20] ---
    do you hear the echoes now,
[02:23] ---
    stronger than words?
[02:38] ---
    We barely ever look each other in the eye,
[02:40] ---
    yet our very fates are becoming entwined
[02:43] ---
    Our destinations overlap completely,
[02:46] ---
    so run with me through the slippery night
[02:49] ---
    Though the glare that
    comes from being too tenacious
[02:54] ---
    may carry over into bad dreams
[03:01] ---
    If the lamps of linked souls
[03:04] ---
    point to your heart,
[03:06] ---
    do you hear the echoes now,
[03:10] ---
    stronger than words?
[03:13] ---
    The reasons why we ever met don't matter
[03:15] ---
    We are drawn together
[03:18] ---
    The more we are hurt
    in the moments we touch,
[03:21] ---
    the clearer things become
[03:29] ---
    Well then,
[03:31] ---
    I'm going home for the day.
[03:33] ---
    Oh, are you thirsty? Want me to
    buy you something before I leave?
[03:37] ---
    No, that's okay. If I drink anything,
    it has to come back out, right?
[03:41] ---
    I'm not too wild about taking
    leaks into those urinal bedpans.
[03:44] ---
    Okay.
[03:46] ---
    Do you want me to bring you anything
    besides a change of underwear?
[03:52] ---
    Not especially.
[03:56] ---
    Okay.
[03:58] ---
    Listen, the reason this happened
    to me is because of something
[04:01] ---
    I did, so you don't need
    to get worked up over it.
[04:06] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:13] ---
    Crap, I blew it. I think
    I just made her feel worse.
[04:20] ---
    What am I, stupid?
[04:24] ---
    What good does it do to
    make Soul worry over me?
[04:28] ---
    Papa...
[04:30] ---
    Come to the roof with me?
    There's a pretty sunset.
[04:34] ---
    So, what am I supposed to do?
[04:37] ---
    Cleaning. Putting the
    library back in order.
[04:40] ---
    Huh? No way, that's a big pain!
[04:43] ---
    Listen, you, on your
    last extracurricular lesson,
[04:46] ---
    you didn't nab a single soul, did you?
[04:47] ---
    That's what remedial
    lessons are for, right?
[04:49] ---
    I'm always doing them,
    so I understand it well.
[04:52] ---
    I don't want any of this
    plain remedial stuff!
[04:54] ---
    Cleaning?! Ugh!
[04:56] ---
    That won't make me stand out! You do it!
[04:59] ---
    Isn't there anything else to do?
    Like when I fought the professor?
[05:03] ---
    Look, Black☆Star, your power
    is up in the top level of your class.
[05:09] ---
    And yet you're a perpetual
    no-soul remedial-lesson fanatic.
[05:12] ---
    You have to feel bad for
    Tsubaki, who's trying so hard.
[05:14] ---
    Right now, what you need is punishment.
[05:17] ---
    Do something you don't
    like, and mend your ways!
[05:20] ---
    You can help me, if you want.
[05:22] ---
    I don't pamper my students.
    That's not the kind of man I was.
[05:29] ---
    What do I do about this?
[05:35] ---
    Charisma Justice is the best!
[05:37] ---
    He's the next biggest guy after me!
[05:40] ---
    So they've even got comics in the library!
[05:43] ---
    I'm gonna skip the professor's
    class tomorrow, and come here again!
[05:45] ---
    Hey, you! Keep it down in the library!
[05:49] ---
    Sorry.
[05:50] ---
    Kid? What, are you here
    to be punished, too?
[05:54] ---
    I'm here to borrow a book.
[05:56] ---
    I wanted to look at some
    magnificent works of art.
[05:59] ---
    I'd like to take the book that's
    under your bottom. Do you mind?
[06:03] ---
    Oh, this?
[06:07] ---
    What is that?
[06:09] ---
    E... eckesuka... libar...?
[06:13] ---
    Excalibur.
[06:14] ---
    What's that?
[06:16] ---
    They say it's a legendary
    sword, also called the Holy Sword.
[06:20] ---
    The one who pulls the sword
    from the ground, and frees it,
[06:22] ---
    will be named a hero, and extolled forever.
[06:26] ---
    I've heard that someone
    who obtained Excalibur in the past
[06:28] ---
    even rose to become a king.
[06:31] ---
    I'm certain such a sword
    possesses beautiful symmetry.
[06:35] ---
    How wonderful!
[06:36] ---
    Hero! King! That's perfect for me!
[06:39] ---
    Yeah, Excalibur.
[06:41] ---
    What? Professor, are you
    here to be punished, too?
[06:44] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:46] ---
    Do you know anything about the Holy Sword?
[06:49] ---
    The Holy Sword Excalibur...
    was too much for even me.
[06:54] ---
    What?! You made an attempt at it?
[06:56] ---
    To think that even you
    couldn't pull it out, Professor...
[06:59] ---
    The Holy Sword Excalibur...
[07:01] ---
    Now I'm really interested!
[07:07] ---
    "Legend of the Holy Sword...
    Kid and Black☆Star's Great Adventure?"
[07:13] ---
    There, there, look, Maka!
[07:16] ---
    Look how ridiculous the sun looks,
    trying desperately to fight off sleep!
[07:20] ---
    Uh-huh.
[07:23] ---
    Not good! Not good!
[07:25] ---
    Here I finally get the chance
    to have a quiet talk with Maka,
[07:28] ---
    and I don't know what I should talk about.
[07:31] ---
    Ah! Maka has gotten bored,
    and has started reading a book!
[07:34] ---
    I have to say something, quick!
[07:36] ---
    Something clever.
    Quickly, quickly, quickly...
[07:41] ---
    Hey, read your book someplace
    with better light.
[07:46] ---
    No way! I started off by lecturing her?!
[07:52] ---
    Say, Papa...
[07:57] ---
    How do you feel towards Mama?
[08:00] ---
    I can't let there be any pauses here.
[08:02] ---
    I love her, of course.
[08:04] ---
    Then why do you always run around on her?
[08:21] ---
    Crap! There was too much of a pause there!
[08:23] ---
    Now, no matter what I say,
    it won't sound convincing!
[08:27] ---
    Hang in there! All fathers
    everywhere are on your side!
[08:30] ---
    Don't run away! Stand
    and face your daughter!
[08:33] ---
    Don't run away! Don't run away!
    Don't run away! Don't run away!
[08:37] ---
    It's kind of getting chilly, huh?
    Maybe we should be heading back.
[08:40] ---
    Why? We just got here.
[08:42] ---
    I didn't get away!
[08:45] ---
    She's starting to take after her mama
    when it comes to putting the pressure on.
[08:49] ---
    Maka, your papa loves you
    and Mama more than anything.
[08:54] ---
    It's the truth. It's the truth.
[08:58] ---
    It's the truth, I tell you!
[09:05] ---
    This is it?
[09:07] ---
    Yahoo!
[09:07] ---
    The Holy Sword is up there?
[09:10] ---
    Mm-hmm. More precisely,
    if you climb up here,
[09:13] ---
    there appears to be a cave.
[09:24] ---
    Hey, no fair!
[09:27] ---
    Damn, rich kids have all the nice things!
[09:30] ---
    I'm not falling behind!
[09:41] ---
    Where did Kid go?
[09:43] ---
    Inside there?
[09:45] ---
    Black☆Star...
[09:47] ---
    I can't come down, because of
    the water. My pants will get wet.
[09:51] ---
    What are you doing?
[09:52] ---
    Carry me.
[09:53] ---
    Idiot. Stay there forever.
[09:56] ---
    To think that such a hurdle awaited me.
[09:59] ---
    The path to the Holy Sword
    is such a cruel one.
[10:02] ---
    You are completely useless.
[10:05] ---
    Let me handle the water from above.
[10:07] ---
    You take care of the water below.
[10:09] ---
    We're getting rough treatment
    both high and low.
[10:11] ---
    This way would be impassable all alone.
[10:13] ---
    This is quite the hurdle.
[10:15] ---
    You really are useless.
[10:21] ---
    Oh, my!
[10:22] ---
    Oh, a fairy! What's she doing here?
[10:26] ---
    This is the place where the Holy Sword is.
[10:28] ---
    It shouldn't be surprising
    that there are fairies here.
[10:31] ---
    Is Excalibur up ahead?
[10:35] ---
    Uh-huh...
[10:39] ---
    What was that for? That was unpleasant.
[10:46] ---
    It looks like it dead-ends here.
[10:48] ---
    Hey, is that it?
[10:50] ---
    Mm-hmm, no doubt about it.
[10:53] ---
    The Holy Sword Excalibur.
[10:59] ---
    Awesome...
[11:01] ---
    The air is vibrating.
[11:03] ---
    Apparently, what it says in this
    book about the one who obtains
[11:06] ---
    the Holy Sword being named a hero,
[11:08] ---
    and given glory forevermore is true.
[11:12] ---
    Besides, look at it.
[11:13] ---
    Such precisely detailed ornamentation,
[11:16] ---
    and I don't see a single nick on the blade.
[11:18] ---
    This is indeed worthy
    of the name Holy Sword!
[11:21] ---
    The Holy Sword, which can only
    be pulled out by the chosen hero.
[11:25] ---
    I-I want it...!
[11:30] ---
    --Yay! I'm a hero! Yahoo!
[11:32] ---
    --W-What...?
[11:34] ---
    --I'm a hero! A hero, that's me! Yahoo! Yahoo!
[11:34] ---
    --This is some mistake! Not to be rude,
    but you're in no way a hero!
[11:38] ---
    Would you mind a do-over?
[11:39] ---
    Huh? What, that didn't count?
[11:42] ---
    Sure. It will be the
    same each time, though.
[11:45] ---
    Let me do it this time.
[11:47] ---
    No way, no way! The Holy
    Sword has chosen me! Big ol' me!
[12:01] ---
    There's no telling who's
    touched it up to now, after all.
[12:03] ---
    Hurry up and do it!
[12:15] ---
    I pulled it out!
[12:16] ---
    Huh?! What is this?! Are you sure
    the hole hasn't just gotten loose?
[12:21] ---
    Welcome, young ones.
[12:28] ---
    The Holy Sword...
[12:29] ---
    Forgive the belated salutations.
    I am Excalibur!
[12:45] ---
    H-How incredibly...
[12:49] ---
    lame.
[13:05] ---
    Jump!
[13:14] ---
    Say, Papa, about that
    Demon Sword, Ragnarok...
[13:23] ---
    Long, long ago, meisters and weapons worked
[13:26] ---
    under Lord Death to maintain world order.
[13:32] ---
    Meisters and weapons are
    not permitted to take the soul
[13:35] ---
    of a human for any reason whatsoever.
[13:38] ---
    That rule has filtered down
    since then to be a natural moral.
[13:43] ---
    That's because while the life
    force of human souls can elevate
[13:46] ---
    a weapon's abilities easily
    enough, along with gaining power,
[13:51] ---
    that weapon loses their human heart.
[13:58] ---
    However, there were
    meisters that broke that rule.
[14:03] ---
    In their constant battles,
    those meisters could not bear
[14:07] ---
    their fear of death, and
    started to go after human souls.
[14:12] ---
    The meisters kept secretly
    feeding their weapons human souls.
[14:19] ---
    As a result, a Kishin was born.
[14:26] ---
    Death Weapon Meister Academy
[14:28] ---
    is a place for recovering
    souls who have left the human path
[14:33] ---
    and turned into Kishin eggs,
    as well as overseeing
[14:36] ---
    and educating meisters and
    weapons from the time they are young.
[14:40] ---
    This is all to keep the Kishins,
    who engulfed the world
[14:44] ---
    in a maelstrom of terror,
    from ever being born again.
[14:47] ---
    Then, that Demon Sword was...
[14:49] ---
    Yeah. When a witch gets involved,
    they dissolve a weapon down,
[14:53] ---
    and transplant it within
    a meister as black blood.
[14:56] ---
    Right now, it is the closest
    thing in this world
[14:59] ---
    to being a Kishin, no question.
[15:04] ---
    It's not just the Demon Sword, either.
[15:06] ---
    There are still people who
    could potentially become Kishins.
[15:12] ---
    What's more, there's Soul,
    who now has black blood in his body.
[15:20] ---
    Well now, is Black☆Star hard at work?
[15:24] ---
    Oh! See, you can do it if you just try!
[15:27] ---
    Sid*-sensei*, once I put
    this book away, I'm all done.
[15:31] ---
    Tsubaki?! Why that dirty little brat!
[15:33] ---
    He dumped this on Tsubaki,
    and now where is he?!
[15:35] ---
    I hate it when something crooked is pulled!
[15:37] ---
    That's the kind of man I was!
[15:39] ---
    No, it's quite all right! I enjoy cleaning.
[15:42] ---
    If you're looking for Black☆Star,
[15:44] ---
    he went to go get the Holy Sword with Kid.
[15:46] ---
    Has he done something wrong?
[15:48] ---
    Holy Sword? You mean the Holy Sword?
[15:50] ---
    Yes. Excalibur.
[15:53] ---
    The legendary sword, which rends
    the air, and upheaves the ground?
[16:02] ---
    Let's stop thinking about it.
[16:04] ---
    Yeah. Still, in a certain sense,
    it is the ultimate remedial lesson.
[16:08] ---
    I forget unpleasant things right
    away. That's the kind of man I was.
[16:12] ---
    Now then, I have to go grade those tests.
[16:19] ---
    You're the Holy Sword? Looking like that?
[16:22] ---
    Ultra-lame!
[16:26] ---
    Then, if I might ask,
    who are you, looking like that?
[16:29] ---
    Me? I'm Black☆St...
[16:31] ---
    My legend begins in the 12th century.
[16:34] ---
    From the looks of you,
    you must be meisters, right?
[16:36] ---
    Where are you from?!
[16:37] ---
    Don't go pointing your cane
    at me like that! It's obnoxious.
[16:41] ---
    We're from the DWMA...
[16:42] ---
    I know. Let me show you something.
[16:44] ---
    You asked. Aren't you going to listen?
[16:46] ---
    What's with this guy?
[16:47] ---
    If you're going to wear clothes,
    put on some pants, too!
[16:50] ---
    What is he planning to show us?
[16:51] ---
    Do you want to hear my legend?
[16:53] ---
    Don't point that cane!
[16:54] ---
    Do you want to hear the heroic tale?
[16:56] ---
    Move your cane, you dirty bastard!
[16:58] ---
    Where have you come from?
[17:00] ---
    Like we said, we came from the DWMA!
[17:02] ---
    What's your favorite
    number between 1 and 12?
[17:04] ---
    Huh? Between 1 and 12?
[17:06] ---
    One, of course! I won't
    rest unless I'm number one!
[17:10] ---
    Eight for me, because of its symmetry.
[17:13] ---
    Fools! You have no right to choose!
[17:16] ---
    My legend begins in the 12th century.
[17:19] ---
    You said to pick our
    favorite number, didn't you?!
[17:21] ---
    Do you want to hear my legend?
[17:23] ---
    Give it a rest, already, will you?
[17:26] ---
    My legend begins in the 12th century.
[17:31] ---
    My mornings begin with a cup of coffee.
[17:36] ---
    My afternoons begin with afternoon tea.
[17:41] ---
    And my evenings...
[17:42] ---
    Let me guess, booze, right?
    Seems right for an old man like you.
[17:46] ---
    Fool!
[17:47] ---
    In the evening, I change
    into my pajamas, of course!
[17:50] ---
    That's got nothing to do with anything.
[17:52] ---
    It's completely irrelevant to
    the legend. What's more, pajamas...
[17:54] ---
    Fools! Do you know what this hat is?
[17:56] ---
    Huh?
[17:57] ---
    I asked you, do you know what this hat is?
[17:59] ---
    How should I know?
[18:01] ---
    I know that it is a silk hat.
[18:03] ---
    Fools! If you don't know,
    then I will tell you.
[18:06] ---
    The taller a chef's hat
    is, the greater he is.
[18:09] ---
    So what you're trying to
    say is, you're great...
[18:11] ---
    Fool! Whoever said I was a chef?!
[18:14] ---
    You're positively incoherent!
[18:16] ---
    Hmm, this is why I can't abide hayseeds.
[18:18] ---
    You're obnoxious!!
[18:20] ---
    You're beyond obnoxious!
[18:22] ---
    Calm down, Black☆Star.
    Don't let him trip you up.
[18:25] ---
    Holy Sword my foot!
[18:27] ---
    What's the deal with this book?!
    It's completely unreliable!
[18:30] ---
    Who wrote this?! Author... author...
[18:33] ---
    E... eckesuka... libar...?
[18:36] ---
    Excalibur.
[18:37] ---
    You?!
[18:39] ---
    I don't give autographs.
[18:42] ---
    Um, Dr. Stein,
[18:44] ---
    what kind of weapon is the Holy Sword?
[18:47] ---
    Oh, that...
[18:49] ---
    Whoever obtains it is
    adorned with wings of light,
[18:52] ---
    and is able to move places instantaneously.
[18:55] ---
    One swing of the sword
    can cut through space itself.
[18:58] ---
    It is, without a doubt, the
    most powerful weapon in the world.
[19:03] ---
    But only a chosen hero can
    match soul wavelengths with it, right?
[19:08] ---
    Uh, well, that's not true, either.
[19:11] ---
    Surprisingly enough, he
    can match with anyone.
[19:16] ---
    In order to become my meister,
[19:18] ---
    there are 1000 provisions
    that I would like you to observe.
[19:20] ---
    Be sure to look through all of them.
[19:23] ---
    Even the backs are filled with writing.
[19:25] ---
    I would greatly like you to
    participate with me in number 452,
[19:30] ---
    the five-hour recitation party. And now...
[19:36] ---
    You have been chosen!
[19:38] ---
    And now, it shall be yours...
[19:40] ---
    Victory and glory!
[19:43] ---
    Victory!
[19:44] ---
    And glory!
[19:46] ---
    Now, let's go!
[19:48] ---
    Together!
[19:57] ---
    Idiot! Who'd ever want you?!
[19:59] ---
    You disgust me!
[20:02] ---
    Even though their soul
    wavelengths might match,
[20:04] ---
    there isn't anyone who is a match
    for Excalibur on a personal wavelength.
[20:09] ---
    Wait! Please wait!
[20:12] ---
    All right, fine! I'll lower those
    1000 provisions down to 800!
[20:16] ---
    But I definitely still want you to
    take part in the recitation party!
[20:19] ---
    Anyone who can put up
    with him is a hero, in a sense.
[20:22] ---
    Nauseating!
[20:25] ---
    Oh, my!
[20:25] ---
    So did you meet Excalibur?
[20:32] ---
    Looks like they met him.
[20:48] ---
    We both have fine partners, huh?
[20:50] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[20:53] ---
    Hey! The gang's all here.
[20:56] ---
    Soul!
[20:57] ---
    Are you all better already?
[20:59] ---
    The party just doesn't get
    started without you around.
[21:02] ---
    Yeah, thank you.
[21:06] ---
    Hey, Black☆Star, I get
    the feeling that people
[21:09] ---
    have been laughing at us for a while now.
[21:11] ---
    Those two?
[21:13] ---
    They did it?
[21:14] ---
    Yeah.
[21:17] ---
    Hey, Black☆Star, Kid,
    come inside the classroom, quick.
[21:30] ---
    "I'll always be waiting for you"
[21:33] ---
    Is he serious?
[21:36] ---
    What is this?
[21:37] ---
    Yeah, it's intense.
[21:39] ---
    Really obnoxious.
[21:41] ---
    Nauseating.
[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
[22:58] ---
    before everything changes
[23:04] ---
    I
[23:06] ---
    Wanna
[23:07] ---
    I wanna be
[23:18] ---
    Do you want to hear the heroic tale?
[23:20] ---
    Wow, you're amazing, and
    by that I mean lame!
[23:23] ---
    Fool!
[23:23] ---
    If you call someone a
    fool, then you're a fool.
[23:25] ---
    Next time is the story of
    how Tsubaki and Black☆Star
[23:27] ---
    challenge the Enchanted Sword.
[23:29] ---
    Fool!
[23:29] ---
    Okay, okay, I'm a fool.
[23:31] ---
    Fool!
[23:32] ---
    Mm-hmm, I know, I know.
[23:34] ---
    Fool!
[23:35] ---
    Shut up, you cretin.
[23:37] ---
    Next time on Soul Eater, episode 10:
[23:39] ---
    "The Enchanted Sword Masamune... Break the
    Soul Possession: A Heart Sings in the Rain?"
[23:43] ---
    Fool!
[23:44] ---
    You're so obnoxious!
