Soul Eater 16: Tension builds

I had to download SE twice because of a group of lamers who released fansubs that I was inclined to follow. However, their scam was so bad that anybody who watches teletubbies would know its wrong. Anyway, lets carry on with the summary, but before that, lets start with misleading captions.

Summary

The fight against Chrona continues. I would say there was no losing party besides Niddhog, who lost his whole ship with Chrona’s imbalanced slash. Be prepared to see it nerfed. Anyway, a the story doesn’t start of like this, but rather with a little more of the feelings of Patty and Liz.

The battle resumes, where Kid manages to get quite a number of hits but Chrona seems unharmed. However, they were interrupted by Niddhog that eventually led to the destruction of the ship. Kid then started to chase Chrona down.

The battle with Chrona didn’t last much longer however, as the hot pursuit with floating skateboards similar to the one in ‘Back to the Future 2′ ended after Kid saw the sun. The sun was symmetrical. Ok, I’m getting sick of this symmetrical shit, but let us have things continue.

Maka then carries on with a blood test, with everything normal. Medusa claims that the black blood was just a misperception. A poor claim but Maka believes her. Medusa prods more about the Imp that Soul sees but Maka is ignorant about it. Angry, she leaves, determined to interrogate Soul.

She's underaged, wtf were u thinking.

Looks like Medusa’s witchery has already been noticed for sometime, of course by an expert, Stein. Stein confiscates the wierd drug that medusa handed to Maka and taunts her. As soon as she had the intention however, Stein chickened out and acted lame. He then explains the situation to Sid and a character we haven’t seen before, that is Sid’s weapon. Lets call her Knife for now.

So Sid and his Knife sneaked in, like solid snake, and clicked examine on the journal, just like any 3rd person shooter game. As he was looking at her plans, the crafty Elka dropped bombs into the room, detonating him and the entire building. (Of course, they won’t die so fast, would they?) Elka then mentions something about a festival… hmm.

Kid then questions his father about the ‘demon god closest to us’. As his father gave a generic answer, Kid then rejects his answer and demands a perfect one. I believe Shinigami knows something but decides to hide it from Kid. Something to do with his soul which we have seen before.

My thoughts

I kind of figured out Stein knew something from the start. Sojourner was like telling me: They are so silly that they didn’t notice Medusa’s similarities after the first witch encounter. Seems like Stein was just collecting evidence, thats all.

Seriously, Kid’s symmetrical retardation has to stop. Its getting annoying, not funny. *sigh* Kid’s moves however were pretty good especially the slide kick. Moves such like shadow stepping beside Chrona however are scenes that have been used many times in many anime and stories and games. Chrona’s moves were also pretty cool. That barrier thing is however also overused. =P

I like the way this episode builds up for the coming episodes as it gives a tense feeling with the building explosion and the Shinigami and Kid’s incident. Also what will happen now that Medusa has been discovered to be a witch. I’m sure she’ll make Elka the scapegoat or something.

Next episode

Sadly the tension will be quenched by the next episode, which is another excalibur one. BUAAAAKA! There’s nothing to be sad about. Excalibur is the coolest.
