Finally, we get hardcore action, on a series that requires hardcore action. This episode was all about fighting, focusing mainly on Maka and Soul. Of course, there were some fillers that interrupted the action but they were not in anyway excessive. Lets begin.

Summary

This week carries on from last week, where the 3 heroes plus Stein enter the underground level of Shibusen, ready to stop Medusa and her minions. As Maka insisted on fighting Chrona, Black Star vanishes away with Speed Star. Of course, Chrona won’t allow him to pass, but Maka stops her in time, bashing her up with pure fist. Personally I find this silly of Maka. Black Star would have thrashed Chrona entirely.

Anyway, as the noobs tried to take a battle that is poorly matched, they constantly bashed Chrona, but to no avail. Maka and Soul however already know several of Chrona moves such as the Bloody Needle and Maka was able to avoid it in time.

Meanwhile, Stein and Medusa continue their long discussion. Seems like the black blood is starting to affect Maka. Medusa then reveals that Chrona’s her child. Scenes were then shown of how a little girl(/guy) got hit over and over and over by young Ragnarok because she caused him to be locked in a room together with her as punishment. She was meant to kill a cute little black dragon, which she couldn’t. After some torturing, she got the black blood infused into her and she managed to kill it heartlessly.

Apparently, she is a total mental as the fight resumes. Soul and Maka were left without any choice but to use the Witch Hunter technique. It worked? To show some eyecandy it did, but it was useless.

Apparently, despite having new ways to use the Witch Hunter, Chrona’s still too powerful. Anyways, their souls resonated during Witch Hunter and Maka was able to enter into Soul’s self pleasuring room. I thought she looked quite pretty there.

Anyways, with constant hammering from Chrona, it was time that Soul was going to break. The duo decided to take the risk and accept the Imp’s offer.

My english is going to be effected as well.
Maka then loses her sanity, a small price to pay for power as she thrashes Chrona. Fortunately, Soul was still able to retain his. Alas, the story has to end at such a peak period.

My thoughts
The battle this week was awesome as usual. The new uses of Witch Hunter was pretty cool too. Black Star’s movements were also quick and straight to the point despite the few second he had. Apparently, he’s not all dumb and shit, because if he really wanted to, he could start an argument with Maka.
The story about the little dragon was already preplanned as we have seen it before. Small slips like these are interesting and do not spoil the story at all as long as they have an impact to the main storyline and aren’t plotless. Eventually, Maka gets the ability to stop Chrona’s attack with her black blood as well. Now however, they may actually be on par and it will be dumb to watch a stale mate. If only Maka listened to Stein…

Attirewise, I liked Maka’s dress, which compliments Soul’s pretty much. Her looks also somehow made her more feminine. Anyone noticed that as well? Oh well, +1 to love list for Maka, but she’ll never win Haruna!!
Anyway, this is a good episode for all the shonen action lovers. Enjoy.
Before I end, lets look at the pretty Maka again.

So HAWT!! My sugar level is increasing!
Next episode: reminds me of the WC3 tower defense that needed you to kill ‘fucking old people’.

Insane-o Maka FTW!!
Chrona is such a pu55y…his “I don’t know how to deal with this” attitude is starting to get on my nerves…>_> But his craziness is enough to counter that!

The Sojourner –> thats not from the preview, just one of my interests.
Panther –> Why spoil yourself? Read after.
53RG10 –> Chrona is such a puss. i’m not sure if we can refer him as a guy though. I don’t go through every word, but i’m pretty sure its a girl.

Korona HAS to be a girl! she was wearing a dress in the flashback. don’t let those desuchanners find out there’s another CD shota in anime lol! anyway, the subs that i download always spell “chorona” as “korona,” i’ve never seen it spelled out in the show, but i would think “korona” is the cprrect way based on how the japanese writing system works.

suicide6 –> remember that the setting isn’t in japan, looking at the buildings etc. Its feasible to assume that her name isn’t japanese. btw, thanks, i used one of your pictures.
