This week, i didn’t like how the main storyline went. True that it holds its quality in sound and animation, but the story didn’t give me a big BANG! “Its getting draggy, says P-Meister” end quote. Also, the development was very predictable( or is it just me?). Still, the humour maintains. Here’s the summary.
Summary
The story continues as froggy Elka, a witch under control by Medusa frees a demon who turns out to be immortal. He was stabbed by the other witches who hunted them down but owned them instead. During this time, he thanks Medusa for freeing her.
However, Medusa’s attitude towards freedom seemed somewhat different. Whilst she already holds a pet frog and not keeping her end of the bargain, she also intends to do something with Free(the demon’s name). Nobody knows what she’s planning.
Meanwhile, Soul and Maka undergoes uber hard training, which is unbelievably to sit down and tell each other’s faults. Terms and conditions of training: Change in soul wavelength such that they will not match. OOOO, seemed pretty easy, so Soul started yelling insults at Maka. Sensitive words like fat ankle and others started to hurt Maka. Maka who is also ignorant of the devil within Soul said hurtful words as well.
Anyway, the pair along with Tsubaki and Black Star travels to London for some extra curricular activities. (London, such a familiar site to the P-Meister. That is the Tower bridge if i’m not wrong.) Anyway, Free visits them. Fortunately, we have Black Star who MASTERED THE FEY BLADE!!! He OWNED FREE!!!….. for ten seconds, but before he hit, he fell. Seems like his stamina training only lasted for 10 seconds. Better do more 2.4s. He wasn’t really useful but he distracted Free enough for soul to STAB HIM IN THE CHEST!! OWNAGE!!!… not. Lets remember that he’s immortal. Free then becomes his true form, the WEREWOLF!!
Next, Maka and Soul tries to battle. However, their soul wavelengths didn’t match as Soul burns the hands of Maka. After some time of being pawned even after Free screwed up like 10 times. Maka decides to do something different, that is to hold the weapon despite its heat. Oww… Anyway, after some swashbuckling, Maka and Soul straightened their thoughts with the help of Tsubaki n some thrash talk with the imp in Soul’s dream. They then used the witch hunter. During this time, a perfect resonance was produced. but the soul wavelengths made Maka feel like she was being devoured. Maka then cuts off the werewolf tail and kicks him off the bridge, tossing herself along with him.
The fighting finally ends with Soul grabbing onto Maka’s ankle, saying ‘your ankles are smaller than i thought’ or something like that, a poor excuse for an apology but thats what men always do to make girls happy don’t they?
Free falls, after some struggle and due to his many screw ups, encapsulated by his own ice. The end. Maka then coughs out black blood. The poor thing….
Thoughts on this episode
Did I say I didn’t like it at the start of the post? The devouring part was sooo expected. Also, too many small events are happening in the previous episodes such that I don’t feel that this was such a big deal. Kid also didn’t get any screen time. This is the worst episode so far. However, this only applies if you compare it with other episodes. I still think the SE series is fun to watch, and this episode is not bad, but bad according to its previous episode standards.
Next Episode: Exam time… They always do this don’t they?
