Soooo, I’m picking up with Soul Eater 15, but as 17’s already out, I’m gonna rush through this one a bit, so not too many screenshots ^^. This anime’s been nothing but great for me most of the time, with each of the main characters getting a fair amount of screentime. Once again it’s another Death the Kid centred episode (awesome! XD), which is part of the reason I thought I’d join in with blogging once again.
**********************************************************
The episode opens with a dude screaming about a Black Dragon coming, the scene being appropriately foggy and dark. Then a big dark something (which I assume could be the dragon he was on about) appears and we hear an unpleasant squelch (probably been eaten or sat on). The opening then stops the action on a pseudo cliff-hanger.
We see Patty and Liz rowing with what looks like a smaller Shinigami-sama perched at the front – ooh, Kid’s voice? – seems it’s actually Death the Kid. This suggests that Shinigami-sama may actually be human O.O. And I thought he was just a cloak with a mask XD. Of course Liz has to give Kid a piece of her mind at the randomness of travelling like that, with Kid then announcing that they’re there. They see a little town, but Kid suggests it isn’t what it seems – we then see that part of the town seems to have a huge chunk missing, as though it’s been bitten off by a great big something-or-other. Apparently all the souls in town were eaten by something. (Seems like we have a mystery on our hands! Scooby Doo where are you?).
The three go investigating and asking questions, although people seem terrified by what’s happened – the Black Dragon is named as the culprit. They go to a library where Kid does some research and Patty names animals in books (looks like fun =D). They then end up in the rowboat again, with Kid once again telling them to row properly and Liz getting a little annoyed. Kid says that he senses a lot of souls in the area, and then a silhouette of a ship with what looks like glowing red eyes appears. Liz is terrified. =D
Death the Kid explains that the ship’s name is the same as that of a Black Dragon from mythology (ah, clever link, I probably wouldn’t have gotten that ^^’). Kid wants to go on board. Liz doesn’t. Patty does what Patty would do, she starts rowing furiously towards the ship at super sonic speed, leaving the other two to cling on or go flying. They crash XD. Patty apologises, but Kid’s main concern is that she didn’t crash at the centre of the ship (you’ve gotta love him – I mean, is that really important? =P) and tells her to do it again. Haha, brilliant! They then go on board, Liz so distracted by their idiocy that she doesn’t notice.
They find a room with a whole lotta souls floating about, which Kid decides to collect (not in the weapon sort of way, but the shingami sorta way) and then gets attacked by a creepy dude/ beast that had been trailing them. The creepy guy shouts the ship’s name just as Patty and Liz are about to transform and Liz falls through the floor, which closes up afterwards. Patty laughs ^^. The creepy dude tells them that he’s gonna offer the souls to the demon god, which, when you’re pretty evil, must be a good plan – he then goes into the classic evil guy rant.
Creepy Dude attacks with his gun, and though Patty offers to turn into a pistol, Kid says no, ’cause of the lack of symmetry. Liz meanwhile is walking around further down, and though she’s super scared she worries about her sister and Kid (aww, she’s a good girl) before trying to intimidate the ship by telling it about her past with Patty. As she talks a voice responds and of course she believes she’s hearing things when she sees nobody there… until it talks some more. Behind her we can see the see through form of someone…
A little girl ghost who tells her she’ll be okay if she goes that way; Liz freaks and backs away. The little girl says that she was eaten by the ship, but Liz fears that she wants to eat her “nice body” (lol). In face of Liz’s hysterics the little girl loses her temper and, acts just like a little girl and shouts. Needless to say, Liz crawls after her.
Back with Kid and Patty, they’re dodging the shots from Creepy Dude (honestly, that’s not his name, but it fits) with Kid still upset at the loss of symmetry. It seems he had refused a number of arranged marriages because of this. We get a bit more of the story of how the three met – his facial expressions are too cute ^^.
Liz is having some panic attacks as more ghosts guide her with cool arrows, while Kid is being taunted by Creepy Dude. Finally Liz makes it to the deck and makes a scene when she sees no one there – to which little ghost girl gets angry. Then Kid and Patty burst through from below. Kid immediately complains that it’s Liz’s fault he wasn’t able to use Patty to fight, but then Creepy Dude arrives and the sisters’ reunion is cut short. They transform and the fight begins. Well in actual fact, Creepy Dude is killed before Kid can do anything. He watches as Chrona gets Ragnorak to eat all the souls, the little ghost saying goodbye to Liz.
Some weird morphing takes place, and the episode ends with Kid and Chrona ready to fight. (Go, GO, Kid!)

~Viz’s Word on the Episode~
Another good episode, focusing more on the humour of Liz’s behaviour than the actual threat of Creepy Dude, which became rather anti-climactic when Chrona turned up and beat him as though it was nothing. By the looks of it, this was just a build up episode for the next, which promises to be good if a fight between two pretty powerful characters is gonna occur. The scenes from the three characters’ pasts were quite interesting to see too, so it gave us more of an insight on how and why the three became a team.
Make sure to watch the next episode, ’cause seriously, those scenes look awesome in the preview. Just a note, do you not love the ending theme and images? Maka and Soul look so cute together!
Sore ja,
That’s Viz, signing out!
Ja ne!
