List of Soul Eater characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The main characters of Soul Eater (from left to right):
Top row: Black Star, Tsubaki, Soul, and Maka Albarn.
Bottom row: Patti and Liz Thompson, Death the Kid, Blair, and Death Scythe.

This is a list of characters from the Japanese manga and anime series Soul Eater. The series revolves around students classified as meisters (職人, shokunin^?) at the Death Weapon Meister Academy (死神武器職人専門学校, Shinigami Buki Shokunin Senmon Gakkō^?), or the DWMA (死武専, Shibusen^?) for short. The head of the school is Shinigami, Death himself. It is run as a training facility for weapons and the human wielders of those weapons to hunt down and take the souls of evil humans, to prevent them from becoming "Kishin", demon gods. Three meister-weapon partnerships are made a focus of the series: Maka Albarn and her scythe Soul Eater, Black Star and his chain scythe Tsubaki, and Death the Kid and his dual pistols Patti and Liz.

[edit] Meisters

Meisters of the DWMA are the wielders of human weapons. Students who become meisters must be skilled at channeling their soul wavelengths, and are assigned a weapon partner early on. Meisters constantly train with their weapon partners to synchronize the wavelengths of their souls to effectively battle against witches and evil humans. By utilizing a technique called Soul Resonance (魂の共鳴, Tamashii no Kyōmei^?), a meister and weapon pair is able to access new powers and skills. Particularly high-tier meisters are able to fight without a weapon by utilizing the wavelength of their soul offensively.

[edit] DWMA students

The three main meisters of Soul Eater (from left to right): Death the Kid, Maka Albarn, and Black Star.

[edit] Maka

Maka Albarn (マカ・アルバーン, Maka Arubān^?): Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi (drama CD), Chiaki Omigawa (anime); Maka is Soul's meister. They live together in an apartment in Death City, though Maka seems to be the one doing most of the household chores such as cooking. Maka and Soul make an efficient team, as shown at the start of the series when they had already claimed ninety-nine evil souls. Maka is a dedicated student at DWMA, and scored highest of her class during doctor Stein's test. Her father is Shinigami's current death scythe and her mother was a very powerful scythe meister. They are currently divorced. While she adores her mother, Maka's relationship with her father is strained. She seems to hate him for constantly flirting with other women (which caused the divorce), though deep down she still loves him.

Maka is annoyed at the fact that her body has not developed yet (something which Soul tends to make fun of at times). Though she seems to have a higher IQ than Soul, Maka is prone to violent outbursts when anger gets the better of her. She usually hits Soul with a book (the so-called Maka-chop) after he does something perverted or makes fun of her. Maka may have feelings for Soul, as she seems to get jealous when Blair attempts to seduce him. Maka also stated she wants to get stronger for Soul after he got injured while protecting her.

Maka is a skilled scythe meister and fights together with Soul. When she and Soul resonate their souls she is able to use the techniques Witch-Hunt Slash and Demon-Hunt Slash (a more powerful form of Witch-Hunt Slash created by her mother). Like Doctor Stein, Maka can use Soul Perception. This ability allows her to track down people by sensing their soul and in combat it can be used to gauge an opponent's strength. Maka's Soul Perception is notably strong; with the death of Joe Buttataki, Medusa recognizes that Maka's ability makes her a threat to witches. After Soul is infected with the black blood, Maka starts to develop black blood as well when she and Soul perform Soul Resonance. When she awakens to the power of black blood while facing off against Crona, Maka becomes battle-crazed and incredibly powerful (even more so than Crona), but her sanity is undermined, causing her to behave erratically at times. This can be seen during the battle with Crona where Maka tried to eat Crona's head. She and Soul gradually manage to control the black blood to a certain extent, though it remains a possibility that they will be consumed by its insanity inducing properties. In the manga, Maka develops an 'anti-insanity' wavelength after defeating the Clown. This makes her resistant to insanity inducing attacks. In the manga, Maka and Soul eventually collect the souls they require to make Soul into a full-fledged Death Scythe.

In the anime it is revealed that Maka actually possesses what is referred to as "weapon blood", meaning she has the ability to fight as a scythe. She has this ability because her father is a weapon. However, Maka has no direct control over her weapon powers. They only manifested when she was knocked unconscious in her final fight with the Kishin Asura.

[edit] Black Star

Black Star (ブラック☆スター, Burakku☆Sutā^?): Voiced by: Yumiko Kobayashi (drama CD/anime); Black Star is a descendant of the Star Ninja Clan, a clan that was notorious for doing anything for money. This caused the ninja to be hated and feared in many places. Due to their actions the entire clan was exterminated by the DWMA thirteen years ago. Black Star, who was just a baby then, was taken in by Sid. Even though his parents and family were killed, Black Star bears no grudge over this. He accepts his parents' death because of the evil life they lived. The star tattoo on Black Star's right shoulder sometimes causes him trouble, as it marks him as a Star Clan ninja who are still hated and feared to this day in some villages.

In battle, Black Star uses ninja tactics. His biggest weakness is that he is a total show-off. He intends to surpass God, something which he will loudly proclaim even during fights, thereby defeating the purpose of ninja stealth. His delusion of stardom is so great that he constantly gives out autographs that nobody wants. Black Star hates it when someone gets more attention than him and will try anything to upstage others. His large ego seems to boost his soul energy though, as his soul is far larger than that of the average DWMA student.

His weapon is Tsubaki, though Black Star is a decent fighter even when unarmed. This makes him more versatile than other meisters. While wielding Tsubaki, Black Star can use abilities like creating shields and sensing enemies as well as moving at high speed and creating clones of himself. Without Tsubaki, he can send a large amount of soul energy through an opponent's body to stun or hurt them. Though he rarely demonstrates it, Black Star is very loyal to his weapon. During Tsubaki's battle with her brother Masamune, Black Star refused to leave her side even though he was being brutally beaten by villagers for belonging to the Star Clan.

Black Star's favorite number is one because he considers himself to be number one. Halfway through the series he started to doubt his skills due to a few defeats, and seemed to have become obsessed with gaining power. Something similar happened to his father White Star, who became a Kishin because of it. In the anime Black Star finally overcame his doubts after his final fight with Mifune. This allowed him to unlock his true soul resonance with Tsubaki.

[edit] Death the Kid

Death the Kid (デス・ザ・キッド, Desu Za Kiddo^?): Voiced by: Takako Honda (drama CD), Mamoru Miyano (anime); Death the Kid is Shinigami's son and the meister of Patti and Liz. He is called Kid by his friends and family. He refers to Shinigami as 'honorable father' (父上, chichiue^?) and seems to be named after him, as it has been shown that Shinigami's name was "Death" when he was younger. Kid suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is represented as a complete obsession about everything being symmetrical. To him, anything symmetrical is beautiful and if something is off by even the slightest measurement he will try to correct it right away. While Kid himself tries to look as symmetrical as possible, his hair causes him problems as one side is completely black while the other has three white strips going across it. Showing him anything that is too asymmetrical or mentioning his hair will send Kid into a state of massive depression, make him feel ill, or cause him to cough up blood and faint in the most extreme of cases. This behavior sometimes results in Kid being unable to fight because he is distracted by his enemy's symmetry, or by the lack of symmetry in his surroundings. When this happens it usually requires some encouragement from Patti or Liz to get Kid to focus again.

The lines in Kid's hair are called Sanzu Lines. In the manga, Mosquito noted that since the lines are not connected Kid was not at full power. When using the Brew to reattach the arm he lost in a fight to Mosquito, Kid noticed that the Brew had also connected one of the lines to the other side of his head. This caused Kid to gain some new abilities, like being able to upgrade the caliber of his shots from Patti and Liz from .38 to .42 and changing his guns to visually match the Israeli made Desert Eagle (which have the words Death Eagle engraved on them). In the anime, all three of the Sanzu lines connect when Kid is near death, causing his Soul Resonance to transform into two oversized cannons on his arms.

Although his father has said that Kid is a shinigami and does not need to collect souls, Kid wants to make a Death Scythe of his own. Because he uses two weapons (the guns do not count as a set), Kid will have to collect twice as many souls (198 evil human souls and two witch souls). In the manga Maka mentioned that it is normally hard to match soul wavelengths with more than one weapon, but Kid is able to do so because he, Liz, and Patti have a mutual admiration for each other. Kid admires Patti and Liz's positive souls due to his negative personality.

As he was born a Shinigami, Kid's potential power is technically far above that of his fellow DWMA students. However, the details of Kid's (or his father's) nature as Shinigami have not been revealed. Both share a skull motif (in Shinigami's mask and Kid's rings and necktie) and dark, vaguely monstrous shadows appear around them when either use their abilities (such as Soul Resonance). They also seem to possess the ability to store souls within their bodies, as opposed to other technicians who can only hold onto the souls or give them to their weapon to devour.

When fighting, Kid holds his guns upside-down and pulls the triggers with his pinkies. He refuses to fight with a single weapon as it would not be symmetrical. Kid is also able to fight without Liz and Patti through martial arts however, focusing on chops, kicks, and hammer blows and using various stances (usually Stance of Sin, but after one of his sanzu lines connected he battled Mosquito with Stance of Punishment). His Soul Resonance attack is called Death Cannon and morphs the guns into a form resembling cannon barrel. In the manga Kid is able to strike multiple targets at once through a technique called the Sanzu River Shot - Sanzu Falls when one of his Sanzu lines is connected. Kid has a flight-capable skateboard called Beelzebub, which he uses as a form of short distance transportation, though it could be used for long distance as well, as in the manga he used it for flying to the Sahara. Kid's favorite number is eight because of its symmetry.

[edit] Ox Ford

Ox Ford (オックス・フォード, Okkusu Fōdo^?): Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino (anime); Ox is one of the top students at the DWMA in terms of grades, and he is Harvar's meister. His name is a pun on the University of Oxford. He calls himself the "Skilled General Lightning King" a fact that annoys Black Star because 'King' and 'General' are two very different titles. He also has great, openly one-sided feelings for Kim. In the manga, Kim starts to reciprocate his feelings later in the series, when Ox attempts to rescue her from Arachnophobia and shows his sincere adoration for her. Ox constantly studies, but claims that "Inside, Harvar and I are nothing but nerds, but outside of school, we become beasts". One of Ox's notable features is his hairstyle, which is a shaved head except for the sides, which are styled into ox-like horns (he apparently styles it this way every morning). Ox's attacks focus on using Harvar's lightning powers on contact. He can also perform anti-air and anti-ground attacks.

[edit] Kirikou Lungu

Kirikou Lungu (キリク・ルング, Kiriku Rungu^?): Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (anime); Kirikou is a pot meister and is often teamed up with Ox for missions. He uses a pair of twins as his weapons, Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder. He is pretty agile, having the second best running time in the DWMA after Black Star in the manga. He seems to be a bit on the brash side, as he tried to immediately find Kim after she fled the DWMA. His attacks emphasize on the raw punching power of his elemental pots. He can conduct a Soul Resonance with one of the pots, to use a more powerful attack with that pot, or a Soul Resonance with both to attack the opponent with both fire and lightning. The author has revealed in a public conference that unlike many famous manga, a few of them have African characters. Kirikou's name is inspired from the character of Kirikou which is a movie the author enjoys.^[1]

[edit] Kim Diehl

Kim Diehl (キム・ディール, Kimu Dīru^?): Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō (anime); Kim is a lamp meister and partner to Jacqueline. She can change Jacqueline into a rocket-powered broom allowing flight or have Jacqueline explode on contact. In the manga, she and her weapon are allied with the Arachnophobia, a group that serves the witch Arachne, though this is not entirely by her choice. It is revealed that Kim is a witch that wanted to get away from the witches' assembly and lifestyle and thus became a DWMA student. Her partner knows she is a witch, but sticks by her all the way. Kim's animal theme is a tanuki (raccoon dog) and her magic chant is longer then most magic users "Tanunucoon Raccooncoon Ponpon Ponkitanu Pon Pon Pon". Since Kim's specialty in magic is regeneration, it goes against the regular destructive witching magic. This is why she was cast out of the witch society. However, after her witch heritage is discovered by the DWMA, she flees in fear together with Jacqueline. In reality the school personnel had full intent to hear her side of the story. Because of these two experiences, Kim has become obsessed with making money as it does not discriminate between its handlers.

Kim is the object of Ox's affections but she constantly turns him down. In the manga Kim is confronted by Ox during the DWMA attack on Arachnophobia's castle. He risks his life to break Kim free from the brainwashing she suffered by the Morality Manipulation Machine. When Ox breaks his antenna-like hairstyle he gets through to her, offering to create a place where she can go. After this Kim seems to reciprocate Ox's feelings. After the events of Arachnophobia, she is accepted by the school and friends alike and is not considered a threat by everyone. This does not happen in the anime and it is not suggested that she is a witch.

[edit] Shinigami and DWMA staff

[edit] Shinigami

Shinigami (死神^?): Voiced by: Ryusuke Ōbayashi (drama CD), Rikiya Koyama (anime); Shinigami, referred to with the suffix sama as a term of respect, is Death himself. He is the founder and leader of the Death Weapon Meister Academy. Shinigami is the most powerful character in Soul Eater, with the Kishin Asura being the only other character capable of fighting him on equal footing. After defeating the Kishin eight hundred years ago, Shinigami used his own soul to seal him underground and founded the DWMA above the location. Due to the seal, Shinigami cannot leave Death City.

Shinigami prefers to remain in the "Death Room" in the DWMA, where he oversees the school and gives out orders to the faculty and students. He can be contacted through a window or mirror by writing 42-42-564 (shini-shini-koroshi, which literally means death-death-murder in Japanese numeric substitution). Shinigami's personal weapon is the Death Scythe Spirit, Maka's father, who almost never leaves his side. This means Shinigami constantly has to put up with Death Scythe's antics on fatherhood, causing the two to bicker quite regularly. Shinigami has a son named Death the Kid. He cares for him but at the same time thinks he can be quite the handful, and is glad that Patti and Liz look after him.

Shinigami has a special move called the "Shinigami Chop" where he smacks people on the head with his oversized, flat hands. Though the attack is often used playfully to shut up Death Scythe, when serious Shinigami can use these chops to knock someone unconscious or slam them into the ground. Before he founded the DWMA, Shinigami wore a more realistic skull-like mask and spoke in a much scarier manner but he changed in order not to scare the children of his school. Though Shinigami acts and appears like a joker, if provoked he will return to his serious and threatening demeanor.

In the anime, Shinigami uses the power of Brew to turn Death City into a gigantic, odd-looking mecha, so he can attack Baba Yaga's Castle. He captures the Kishin Asura and they resume their battle, but this time Shinigami has his Death Scythe to fight with. When Shinigami is gaining the upper hand, Asura directs a powerful attack at Death the Kid. Shinigami shields his son from the blast but is gravely injured in the process and unable to fight, leaving Asura unchallenged to bring about a new world order filled with madness.

[edit] Sid Barett

Sid Barett (死人（シド）・バレット, Shido Baretto^?): Voiced by: Susumu Akagi (drama CD), Masafumi Kimura (anime); Sid is a DWMA teacher who dies at the start of the series and is turned into a zombie by Dr. Stein. Even though Stein also took over his teaching job, Sid still goes to the DWMA to help the students and teachers in any way he can. His reason for helping the school is that it is what he would have done when he was alive. Sid often acts as a spy to get information on the witches and their plans.

In the manga Sid, Stein and Death Scythe were a part of the team which was responsible for the annihilation of the Star Clan. Sid apparently knew White Star and saw him as he killed innocents and became a Kishin. After the annihilation of the clan, it was Sid who took in Black Star and raised him at DWMA, disregarding Stein's advice to either kill or abandon the baby. As such, Sid is considered not only Black Star's mentor, but flashbacks have shown that they also share a brotherly bond or even a father/son relationship.

When he was alive, Sid was a three star knife meister and in death his skills are undiminished. His weapon partner is the combat knife Mira Kniges. Besides using her for fighting, Sid can also use Kniges to create coffin-shaped escape routes. He is very proficient at tunneling, using this skill for sneak attacks and escaping enemies. Sid is also capable of using the Death Scythe Yumi Azusa to make sniper attacks.

[edit] Franken Stein

Franken Stein (フランケン・シュタイン, Furanken Shutain^?): Voiced by: Mitsuru Miyamoto (drama CD), Yuuya Uchida (anime); Dr. Franken Stein is the most powerful meister to ever graduate from the DWMA. He is such a strong fighter that he could take down Black Star while still being seated in his chair. Stein is based on the central characters from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, an amalgamation of the mad scientist and Frankenstein's monster itself. He has a bolt going through his head (which he turns to focus his mind) and stitch marks all over his body and clothes. Stitch marks are a recurring feature in everything Stein owns (including his house and furniture). Dr. Stein took up a teaching job at DWMA at the beginning of the series.

Stein is not entirely sane and constantly has to suppress the urge to dissect everything he sees. During the five years he was Death Scythe's partner, Stein secretly operated on him while Death Scythe was asleep. Once as part of a lesson Stein tried to have his class dissect an endangered animal claiming that it would be bad if he did not find out anything about it before it became extinct.

Stein's understanding of soul wavelengths gives him a huge advantage in battle since he can change his own wavelength to match that of his opponent, thereby disrupting the soul wavelength of the opposing meister and weapon. Stein can use this ability thanks to his high spiritual flexibility and by observing his opponent beforehand. He is a genius at utilizing his soul wavelength: even when unarmed he can channel it through his body and release it as a powerful current, create soul based shields or immobilize an opponent. While wielding Death Scythe, Stein is able to use the Witch-Hunt Slash for both long-range or close-range combat.

As the Kishin begins to revive, Stein notices that his own insanity is getting worse, and that he could very well lose control of his actions. Shinigami realises this as well, and has Death Scythe watch Stein closely. As Marie Mjölnir's soul wavelength is supposed to have a calming effect on the soul, she is assigned as Stein's new weapon. Stein's insanity grows yet worse when Medusa manipulates Crona into infecting Marie with one of her own snakes to speed up the effect of Stein's mania. Stein slowly but surely begins to lose the fight against his insanity. In the anime this culminates in him running away from the DWMA and unwittingly teaming up with Medusa. In the manga however Stein is implicated with the murder of a fellow DWMA colleague. Although he is warranted for arrest, Death Scythe, Kniges and Sid believe that Stein is innocent and allow him to escape with Marie to find the real culprit. Both Stein and Marie meet up with the real culprit, Justin and confront him.

[edit] Others

[edit] Kami

Kami: Kami is Maka's mother and Spirit's ex-wife. She has not been shown, but has been mentioned and in the anime she sends postcards to Maka while traveling the world. She is Spirit's second meister, replacing Stein. Kami is no longer a student in the school, and did not become a teacher like Spirit and Stein. In the anime, Kami is mentioned as having invented the Demon-Hunt Slash, the most powerful scythe technique. Only Kami, Maka and Shinigami know how to perform this move.

[edit] Joe Buttataki

Joe Buttataki (ブッ叩き・ジョー, Buttataki Jō^?): Voiced by: Atsushi Ono (anime); Referred to as "Mole Hunter" Joe Buttataki in the manga, Joe makes his first appearance at the end of chapter thirty-seven when he is called to the DWMA to investigate the possibility of a spy. Also referred to as BJ (ビージェイ, Bījei^?), his name when literally translated is "kick the shit out of", a phrase he says at the end of chapter thirty-seven in the manga. Joe's soul perception ability is very powerful. He was the first meister to be able to see through soul protect (a witch's technique to appear human) and his power is growing even now. Joe considers his ability unpleasant however, since it will cause him to mistrust his allies over time. He also possesses the ability to detect lies by placing his fist at another person's chest.

In the manga Joe Buttataki is the ex-boyfriend of Marie Mjölnir. He had apparently kept his distance from her, fearing that his soul perception may grow so powerful that he could see through her. Upon returning to the DWMA, Joe tells Marie that he regretted his decision of breaking up and asked her out for dinner. He is later murdered by Justin Law upon the Kishin's orders, because of his strong soul perception ability, which made him a threat.

In the anime, Joe is a member of the technological branch of the DWMA. Shinigami asks him to return to Death City in order to secretly deal with the demon tools and the book of Eibon. Officially Joe comes to fix the DWMA's plumbing. He loves coffee, especially the brand made in a shop called Uncle Bob's Rumba Coffee, and is utterly disgusted by the instant coffee he is served at DWMA. Joe is not killed in the anime and the circumstances behind Stein and Marie's decision to leave the DWMA are different.

[edit] Crona

Crona (クロナ, Kurona^?): Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto (anime); Crona is Medusa's child and one of the first recurring antagonists in the series. Crona is presented as having an ambiguous gender, being referred to with the Japanese masculine pronoun boku (僕^?),^[2] but also wears female clothes like skirts and dresses. In the anime, during leisure time at the DWMA, Crona prefers to wear male clothes, furthering confusion over Crona's gender.

Medusa was a cruel and dominating mother to Crona. She required unquestionable obedience and exposed Crona to violence at an early age by forcing Crona to kill small animals. Medusa replaced Crona's blood with 'black blood' which both protects Crona from physical harm and provides a degree of healing. The demon weapon Ragnarok was melted into the black blood before the transfusion, which is the cause of the symbiotic relationship between him and Crona. Although technically Ragnarok's meister, Crona's naïve and submissive personality often makes it seem Ragnarok is really in charge. Crona does not like to fight, so Medusa introduced a spell into Crona's mind to increase aggression. Because of Medusa's abusive treatment, Crona has a hard time adapting to interacting with normal people. If frightened, Crona will cower in the corner of the room. Crona gets very nervous around other people and often becomes insecure in new situations, claiming to 'not know how to deal with it'.

When Medusa attempted to resurrect Asura, Crona fought Maka in the corridors beneath DWMA. Although Crona is defeated, the two quickly become friends after a heart to heart within Crona's own soul. When Medusa is seemingly killed by Stein, Crona is taken in by the DWMA and starts trial courses to learn the proper way to be a meister. Crona is a lot happier at the school but is still insecure and easily depressed. While the rest of DWMA refuses to trust Crona, Maka has faith in Crona's good nature. At the school Crona mostly interacts with others only when Maka is present because she gives Crona the support and comfort that Crona lacked earlier in life. Maka's previously demonstrated ability to tap into Crona's soul wavelength is probably the reason that Crona trusts and values her support and counsel above all others. When Medusa returns later in the series, Crona acts as a spy for the witch but still considers Maka a friend. After Crona goes missing in the manga, Medusa tells Maka that she will never surrender Crona to her.

In the anime, Crona chooses to join Marie Mjölnir in rescuing Stein from Medusa. While fighting Medusa, Crona is hit by Medusa's Soul Wavelength. This disables Crona's black blood abilities, making Medusa's attacks all the more dangerous. Crona is only rescued by the timely arrival of Maka and Soul. When Medusa tries to kill Maka with a sneak-attack, Crona jumps in front of the attack to protect Maka and is gravely injured. After Medusa is defeated, Crona is brought back to DWMA for treatment.

[edit] Enrique

Enrique (猿里華, Enrike^?): Enrique is a monkey who wears trousers, a t-shirt and a baseball hat. He is the meister of the South American Death Scythe, Tezca. His speech consists of the single nonsensical word "gau" and his partner is the only one who can understand him. Although he usually makes jokes, Enrique is very skilled in combat, as shown when saving Maka from Medusa.

[edit] Weapons

Weapons are humans capable of transforming completely into different classes of weapons for the use of meisters. Weapons are also able to maintain their human form while manifesting parts of their weapon form for use in battle. Assigned to a meister partner early on at the DWMA, weapons and their partners constantly train to synchronize their soul wavelengths to increase their power. By utilizing Soul Resonance (魂の共鳴, Tamashii no Kyōmei^?), a weapon can access different weapon forms. The goal of all students at the DWMA is for their weapon to become a Death Scythe (デス・サイズ, Desu Saizu^?). To gain the status of Death Scythe, a weapon must consume exactly ninety-nine evil human souls and one soul of a witch. Particularly powerful weapons are able to fight without need of a meister.

[edit] DWMA students

[edit] Soul Eater

Soul Eater (ソウル＝イーター, Sōru Ītā^?): Voiced by: Sōichirō Hoshi (drama CD), Kōki Uchiyama (anime); Soul Evans is Maka's Demon Scythe partner and the titular main character alongside Maka. He is called "Soul Eater" by his friends. His human appearance and attitude is that of a teenage boy. He drives a motorcycle, which he and Maka use for transportation. Soul tries to maintain a "cool" image, and very often states how cool he and his actions are. Being a cool guy, he almost always uses the direct approach to solve problems, which fails most of the time. Soul is good friends with Black Star because of their similar personalities, yet when they try to enter combat together they encounter difficulties due to their differing soul wavelengths. Soul's way of absorbing souls is literally eating them. He sometimes becomes too driven by the idea of eating souls which leads him to bicker with Maka, but in the end they remain friends and partners. Soul may have feelings for Maka as he states he is "willing to die for his meister". He has trouble showing certain feelings, claiming that he shares Crona's fear of being close to others. Soul normally seems more easygoing and relaxed than Maka, but he often displays great wisdom and understanding of how to help those around him. As such, his peers show great respect for his judgment and opinions. He can also be somewhat aloof at times, such as when he refused to play the piano at his friends' party.

Soul is a skilled pianist in both the anime and the manga. In the anime, Soul plays the piano to coordinate the Chain Resonance of Maka, Black Star and Death the Kid. In chapter thirty of the manga, Maka mentions that Soul played a dark song when they first met. In chapter fifty-five, it is revealed that Soul comes from a noble family of musicians and he has an older brother named Wes, a violinist, whom Soul has an inferiority complex towards. Soul is the only current member of his family who can change into a weapon.

Soul's body has been invaded by Ragnarok's Black Blood. This makes him more powerful but could lead to his soul consuming Maka's if he lets the insanity of the black blood get out of control. Any attack that Soul has must be done by Maka wielding him, which is shown to depress Soul as this means he cannot protect Maka when she is unable to fight. However he can transform his arm or hand into the blade part of his scythe form. Soul's scythe form is incredibly heavy and can't be used by people whose soul wavelength is incompatible with his. After defeating Arachne, Soul and Maka gather the remaining demon souls necessary for making him a full fledged Death Scythe.

Forms:

Witch-Hunt Slash (魔女狩り, Majogari^?): A traditional scythe weapon resonance form, Soul's weapon end resembles a crescent moon. The Witch-Hunt Slash has a purifying power which makes it effective against immortal beings like witches.
Demon-Hunt Slash (魔人狩り, Majingari^?): A special Soul Resonance form Maka inherited from her mother. The Demon-Hunt Slash is an improvement on the Witch-Hunt Slash form, and as such is significantly more powerful, carrying Maka's Anti-Demon Wavelength with its attacks. It is suggested that the Witch-Hunt Slash can harm immortal beings, and Demon-Hunt Slash can kill them. While in this form, Soul resembles a giant axe-scythe hybrid weapon.

[edit] Tsubaki

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa (中務椿, Nakatsukasa Tsubaki^?): Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (drama CD), Kaori Nazuka (anime); Tsubaki is Black Star's Shadow Weapon partner. She is a very patient and understanding person, which is needed to put up with Black Star's constant bragging. Even though Tsubaki is sometimes disheartened by Black Star's attitude she still puts up with it because she believes in him. She is a good student and got a decent score on doctor Stein's test but was also shown to be a bit naive, thinking Stein was too nice to ask trick questions. Tsubaki has a talent for cooking and has been complimented on a few occasions by her friends.

Tsubaki comes from an established family of weapons descending from a weapon created by one of Arachne's younger sisters. Though it's usually the oldest child in the family that inherits most transformation abilities, Tsubaki's older brother Masamune is only able to transform into a katana. Instead Tsubaki is the one who has the ability to change into multiple ninja weapons like a shuriken, smoke bomb, or kusarigama. This made Masamune very bitter and cruel. In the end Tsubaki reluctantly fought her brother to stop him from harming people. Masamune's soul was the first evil soul Black Star and Tsubaki claimed. It gave Tsubaki the ability to take her brother's katana form, even though this puts a lot of stress on Black Star. Like all demon weapons Tsubaki has the ability to change part of her body into weapon form. In her case she can transform her ponytail into a chain or a single kusarigama.

Forms:

Chain Scythe: Two small scythes at the end of chain.
Shuriken: An oversized, five-pointed ninja throwing star.
Smoke Bomb: A bomb for making a smoke screen for escapes or diversions.
Dummy Star: Tsubaki assumes the form of Black Star to confuse the enemy.
Ninja Sword: A short ninja knife weapon similar to a tantō.
Uncanny Sword: A black katana resembling her brother's weapon form. When Tsubaki is in her Uncanny Sword mode, both she and Black Star will have black marks appearing on their arms and face. During Soul Resonance the katana becomes longer and will start glowing red.

[edit] Patti

Patricia "Patti"^[3] Thompson (パティー（パトリシア）・トンプソン, Patī (Patorishia) Tonpuson^?): Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (drama CD), Narumi Takahira (anime); Patti is one half of Death the Kid's Demon Twin Guns. She is the younger of the two sisters and is more naïve than her cynical sibling. She has a larger bust size than her sister and mostly speaks in a sing-song voice. Patti acts and speaks like a little kid, saying "hullo" and "sowwy", like a child would say "hello" and "sorry". She is not very smart and is easily amused. During most of her scenes she is either laughing or looking around in amazement (even if she is in a life or death situation). Patti is so naïve that she thinks everything is all fun and games. An example of this can be seen when she was supposed to take a test but instead colored all over her test papers and then folded them into an origami giraffe, only to break its neck soon after. On the few occasions where she does lose her temper, her childlike persona is replaced by a seemingly psychotic rage. This diametrically opposed personality also comes out when she is asked to assert herself, and the quick switch back to her normal, happy-go-lucky self is quite creepy.

Unlike her sister, Patti enjoys the drama brought on by Kid's perfectionist attitude, even sometimes being the cause of it, though she does cheer him up when he gets down on himself about it. Both Thompson sisters wear cowgirl outfits (tight sleeveless shirt and cowboy hats) but Patti wears puffy shorts. They used to live on the streets of Brooklyn before being found by Kid. Both Patti and Liz admire Kid's dignified soul, due to the fact that they are from the streets.

Patti is shown to be incredibly skilled in martial arts, once winning multiple matches in a row and even managing to defeat Black Star (although he was goofing off at the time). This surprises Nygus, who says it is a shame that she is usually only used as a weapon.

Kid's reason for picking these sisters as his weapons is the same as everything else he does in life: symmetry. Not wanting a weapon that would throw off his already flawed symmetry, the Thompson sisters were a dream come true.

Attacks:

As with Liz, Patti performs most attacks being wielded by Kid. If Kid is not with them, Patti can use her sister's weapon form and vice versa, though the girls seem slightly less skilled than Kid. Patti and her sister collect souls in the magazines of their gun forms.

[edit] Liz

Elizabeth "Liz" Thompson (リズ（エリザベス）・トンプソン, Rizu (Erizabesu) Tonpuson^?): Voiced by: Yūko Kaida (drama CD), Akeno Watanabe (anime); Liz is the other half of Death the Kid's Demon Twin Guns. She is the older and more mature of the two sisters, but she is also rather cynical and jaded. Liz has a smaller bust size than her younger sister, something which annoys her to no end. While Patti is very child-like, Liz behaves more like a teenage girl, worrying about things like make-up and shopping. Liz is a bit of a coward, though she will usually do as she's told even when she is afraid. Unlike Patti, Liz finds the drama brought on by Kid's perfectionist attitude annoying. Though she is the smarter of the two sisters, Liz still does not like studying very much, instead preferring to paint her nails or trim her eyebrows.

Both Thompson sisters wear cowgirl outfits (tight sleeveless shirt and cowboy hats) but Liz wears long jeans. Liz and her sister used to live on the streets of Brooklyn before being found by Kid. Both Patti and Liz tried to rob Kid when they saw him, but were surprised when Kid came to save them from a group of thugs. Both Liz and Patti admire Kid's dignified soul due to the fact that they are from the streets.

Attacks:

As with Patti, Liz performs most attacks being wielded by Kid. If Kid is not with them, Liz can use her sister's weapon form and vice versa, though the girls seem slightly less skilled than Kid. Liz and her sister collect souls in the magazines of their gun forms.

[edit] Harvar

Harvar D. Éclair (ハーバー・ド・エクレール, Hābā Do Ekurēru^?): Voiced by: Wataru Hatano (anime); Harvar is Ox's weapon and takes the form of a spear. In weapon form, he has the power of lightning. Like Ox, he is named after a university. In Harvar's case Harvard University. His last name is derived from the French word for lightning. Like most weapons, he can change a part of his body into his weapon form. Harvar can turn one of his hands into the point of his spear form, as well as generate an electric charge through his hand (even without changing it to his weapon form). As evident in the manga during the infiltration of the Arachnophobia castle, Harvar is fiercely loyal to Ox and prioritizes his meister's safety above all else. He maintains an ice-cold composure in battle even when Ox does not.

[edit] Jacqueline

Jacqueline O. Lantern Dupré (ジャクリーン・オー・ランタン・デュプレ, Jakuriin Ō Rantan Dupure^?): Voiced by: Kanae Oki (anime); Jacqueline is Kim's partner and takes the form of a lamp. In weapon form, she spews fire and can extend to resemble a broom, allowing Kim to fly. Jacqueline's name is derived from jack-o'-lanterns and the renowned English cellist Jacqueline du Pré. Like most weapons, Jacqueline is able to change a part of her body into her weapon form. She can change one her hands into a lamp and use it like a flame thrower.; In the manga Jacqueline is fully aware that Kim is a witch, yet she joined Arachnophobia alongside her. Like her meister she was brainwashed using the Morality Manipulation Machine, although she is later returned to normal. This does not happen in the anime, where she fights against Arachnophobia.

[edit] Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder

Pot of Fire & Pot of Thunder (ポット・オブ・ファイア＆ポット・オブ・サンダー, Potto obu Faia & Potto obu Sandā^?): Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder (commonly called Fire and Thunder) are Kirikou Lungu's weapon partners. Though termed "pots", they resemble large gloves in their weapon form. Fire and Thunder are little twins with dark skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. They came from Brazil. As weapons they generate fire and thunder respectively, and Kirikou often uses both elements when attacking. In the manga it is explained that Fire and Thunder are earth shamans and can hear the earth's voice.

[edit] Death Scythes

The most powerful weapons in Soul Eater, Death Scythes have met the requirement of obtaining ninety-nine evil souls and one witch soul. There are a total of eight Death Scythes, and each one is in charge of a different region of the world. Two Death Scythes share the Europe region. In all, there are seven regions: Europe, Oceania, East Asia, West Asia, North America, South America, and Africa. Only five Death Scythes are named in the manga and four in the anime.

[edit] Death Scythe

Death Scythe (デス・サイズ, Desu Saizu^?), also known as Spirit (スピリット, Supiritto^?): Voiced by: Hiroaki Hirata (drama CD), Tōru Ōkawa (anime); Spirit is Shinigami's current weapon and Maka's father. Most people address him as Death Scythe but his friends still call by him by his name instead of his title. Spirit was married to Kami, his former meister and Maka's mother, but they got divorced shortly before the start of the story due to his constant flirting with other women. Even though he visits clubs, Spirit is still insanely loyal to his ex-wife and daughter. He is extremely sad that his daughter hates him, but still tries to be a good father by looking out for her in his own silly way. He is very protective of Maka and is ready to jump to her aid any time she is in trouble (though he is usually stopped by Shinigami). Spirit is consistently shown to be a warm, caring and kind-hearted man who has trouble articulating his feelings clearly, especially in regards to his love for his daughter. Aside from his love for Maka he cares about children in general, as shown when he wept in anger for Medusa's casual abandonment of Crona, her own child.

Dr. Stein and Spirit were a team when they were still students at DWMA. Spirit was an upperclassman to Stein and Stein still calls him senpai on occasion. Even though they worked together for five years Spirit was unaware of Stein's nightly experiments upon him. It was only with the help of Kami that Spirit finally figured it out. To this day he suffers nightmares about Dr. Stein trying to dissect him.

In weapon form, Spirit is a large, plain black scythe with the handle resembling a cross. His Witch-Hunt Slash form is different from Soul's. Out of all the Death Scythes, Spirit is the only one called "Death Scythe" as a mark of his authority. Despite his personality, his position is apparently not undeserved.

[edit] Justin Law

Justin Law (ジャスティン＝ロウ, Jasutin Rō^?): Voiced by: Yoshinori Fujita (anime); Justin Law is a seventeen-year-old Death Scythe. He dresses in the garb of a Catholic priest and is a devout servant of his god. It is unclear if Justin worships Shinigami (who is a god of death), Asura (who is the demon god, otherwise known as "Kishin") or the Christian God. He is the youngest student in DWMA history to become a Death Scythe, something which he achieved at the age of thirteen and without the aid of a partner. Justin is constantly listening to loud techno music on his earphones so he cannot hear what's going on around him. He is a competent lip reader, but with people who wear masks (like Shinigami), Justin can still understand what is being said by hand gestures or by them yelling over his music. He travels by means of a dune buggy with a coffin on wheels connected to it. In the manga, Justin is responsible for BJ's murder—having aligned himself with the Kishin, Justin was ordered to kill BJ due to BJ's threateningly powerful soul-perception abilities.

His weapon form, the guillotine, fits his title of "Executioner". Like all weapons Justin changes parts of his body to fight.

Holy Jūji-Shūtō (Crucifix Sword-Hand): Justin causes the guillotine blade to come out of his forearm then performs two slashes creating the form of a cross.
Carcan Claw: Justin changes one of his arms into the headlock of a guillotine to grab and then attack his enemy at close range.
Law Abiding Silver Gun: One of Justin's strongest attacks. He starts by praying to strengthen his soul wavelength. Then he creates two pillars at his side with him hovering right above his enemy, after which he channels his wavelength into his bladed arm and fires downward, beheading his foe in the same fashion as a guillotine. He can also use this attack in a beam-like fashion at long-range.

The prayer Justin says before his Law Abiding Silver Gun is as follows:

We, the people of the city of death, beseech you, our God, as Christ is just

Oh God, let me be an instrument of your peace

I am a pillar of justice

A blade of faith

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy spirit

"Law Abiding Silver Gun"

[edit] Marie Mjölnir

Marie Mjölnir (マリー・ミョルニル, Marī Myoruniru^?): Voiced by: Chieko Honda (anime); Marie Mjölnir is the Death Scythe in charge of Oceania. In light of the current situation concerning the resurrection of Asura, Marie has been recalled to DWMA along with the other Death Scythes. Her last name is derived from the legendary hammer of Thor, Mjöllnir. Her nickname is "Crushing Weapon Marie". Marie wears a patch with a thunderbolt insignia over her left eye.

Marie is so obsessed with the idea of marriage and retiring that she would consider marrying a toilet (as it would make a very "accepting" husband). She is very quick tempered, delivering powerful punches to friend and foe when they annoy her. In the manga Marie used to be in a relationship with Joe Buttataki. Upon her return to DWMA, Marie is partnered with Stein since her soul wavelength has a calming effect on his madness. After Joe is killed, she leaves together with Stein in order to find Joe's murderer, and because Joe's last request was for her to keep an eye on Stein. They eventually find the real murderer, Justin Law, and confront him, but he manages to get away.

Marie's weapon form is a small tonfa with her lightning insignia on the front. Like other Death Scythes she can manifest parts of her weapon whilst in human form. She can utilize a technique called "Izuna" to channel electricity into her meister's motor nerves, dramatically increasing their athletic ability. In the anime, Marie's weapon form is a much larger tonfa. She had no relationship with Joe but according to Azusa, Stein was Marie's first love. When Stein leaves the DWMA to find Medusa, Marie pursues him together with Crona. During the battle at Medusa's hideout, Marie succeeds in curing Stein of his uncontrollable madness with her Redemption Wavelength. When using this ability, here left eye (normally hidden by her eyepatch) is shown to glow.

[edit] Yumi Azusa

Yumi Azusa (弓梓, Yumi Azusa^?): Voiced by: Yukana (anime); Yumi Azusa is the Death Scythe in charge of East Asia. She comes off as being bookish and analytical. Yumi was the student council president when Stein and the other Death Scythes were students. She used to scold Spirit for his endless flirting, and Stein for his urge to dissect everything. Yumi was said to have been a small yet talkative child. She still treats the others as little kids in the way a teacher would (like clapping to get their attention and telling them to line up and walk in a single file line) much to their embarrassment. Yumi is suggested to have a genius IQ and is an extremely competent information gatherer and tactician.

Yumi's weapon form is a mix between a crossbow and a musket with a rifle scope. She fires compressed soul wavelength with high accuracy, stating herself she can shoot a target up to 10 km away with only a 1 mm margin of error. Yumi has a clairvoyant ability that allows her to see far ahead of whoever she is synchronized with. This ability is unique to her, and she can use it to calculate precise distances. While Yumi can use this ability over long distances, the more distance there is between her and the person she's synchronized with, the less she can see. Yumi can detect souls as well, and by seeing their soul know the age and strength of the soul's owner.

[edit] Tezca Tlipoca

Tezca Tlipoca (テスカ・トリポカ, Tesuka・Toripoka^?): Tezca Tlipoca is the Death Scythe in charge of South America. His face is yet unrevealed, covered by large bizarre bear mask. He fully understands the speech of his partner, a monkey named Enrique, even though no one else can. Tezca Tlipoca's weapon form is a Demon Mirror wrapped around his meister's right leg. He is named after the Aztec deity Tezcatlipoca, whose name is often translated as "Smoking Mirror."

[edit] Others

[edit] Ragnarok

Ragnarok (ラグナロク, Ragunaroku^?): Voiced by: Keiji Himeno (anime); Ragnarok is Crona's Demon Sword partner. He is the first inhuman weapon introduced in Soul Eater. Ragnarok was melted down into the black blood and injected into Crona when Crona was younger. They now share a symbiotic relationship. Under Medusa's orders, Ragnarok has taken to absorbing any soul, evil or not. By taking innocent souls, Ragnarok's soul wavelength grows out of control and vastly overpowers Crona's own wavelength, something which would eventually lead to Ragnarok eating Crona's soul. Besides his normal sword form, Ragnarok can change his appearance to that of a dragon to give Crona wings to fly, vastly increasing Crona's combat capabilities. He can also grow a mouth on his sword form that draws souls to himself by using a high pitched scream.

Ragnarok can control Crona's black blood (due to him being a part of Crona) when it leaves Crona's body. He can use the blood to make spikes to use as an attack or can cause the blood to harden and act like a bandage or armor so Crona's wounds remain shallow. In the anime, Medusa could disable these abilities by hitting Crona with her soul wavelength. When not in combat, Ragnarok resides in Crona's body, though he often appears out of Crona's back to taunt enemies or pester Crona.

After the second fight with Maka, Ragnarok has all his souls confiscated which results in him shrinking greatly in size. He now resembles his child form (or chibi form as Maka calls it). Ragnarok became a bit more childish as well. This could be seen during the first battle with Giriko where Ragnarok only starts fighting in exchange for candy. Due to the loss of souls, Ragnarok's sword form becomes thinner, making his attacks weaker but still formidable. Even when freed from Medusa's control, Ragnarok still desires to eat any soul he sees, but this is hindered by Crona, who claims they are not doing that anymore.

Ragnarok loves to degrade and pester Crona (even during fights) by giving Crona noogies, pinching or hitting Crona, or threatening to take Crona's food. He is slightly perverted having tried to pull up Crona's dress and flipping Maka's skirt. He tends to use Crona as a human shield against non-deadly attacks, such as the "Maka-Chop". Ragnarok does care about Crona's well-being though, because he knows that when Crona dies, he will die too.

Attacks: Ragnarok's attacks mostly concentrate using Crona's blood (after Crona is injured) and causing as much destruction as possible.

Scream Resonance: Ragnarok's equivalent of Soul Resonance, can peirce even other weapons.
Jet Black Sword: a more powerful form of Ragnarok's sword form.
Screech Alpha: A long-range attack that fires a solid sound wave at an opponent.

[edit] Mira Kniges

Mira Kniges: Voiced by: Junko Noda (anime); Mira Kniges replaces Medusa as the DWMA's school nurse. She is Sid's partner, and is covered in bandages (although early in the series she is shown without the bandages). She becomes a combat knife in weapon form.

[edit] Giriko

Giriko (ギリコ, Giriko^?): Voiced by: Nobutoshi Canna (anime); Giriko is a Demon Weapon and an ally to the witch Arachne. He lives for fighting and destroying but he is completely subservient to Arachne, whom he refers to as Ane-san (a respectful term translating to 'older sister'). Giriko takes the form of a chainsaw in weapon form. Although he is a weapon like Tsubaki or Soul, he openly states his hatred for the DWMA, claiming that he wants to follow his own path rather than be used by a meister. Giriko develops a rivalry with Justin Law, as the two have very conflicting ideas on being a weapon. He mockingly calls Justin "Father" (this is a joke at the fact that Justin dresses like a Catholic priest). In the manga, Giriko is not very good at remembering faces, as seen when he does not recognize Maka when she infiltrates into Arachne's castle with the other DWMA students, even though he and Maka had already faced each other before. Later, he joins forces with the corrupted Justin and Noah in order to follow the Kishin's will. Giriko is an expert golem maker and can even make them out of snow in the midst of combat.

Attacks: Giriko's attacks center around the use of his chainsaw blade on various parts of his body. His attacks are stronger when his engine is on.

Chain: Giriko can cause the chainsaw chain to appear on his body to act like a sort of armor.
Saw Foot: As the name implies Giriko creates a sawblade on his legs so he can kick and cut at the same time. He can also use the sawblades as a pair of engine powered rollerblades to move faster than normal. He applies a gear-shift system with this attack. The higher the gear the stronger the attack is.
Reverse Rotation: Giriko uses his hand and feet to stretch the chain around his body, making him a blade disk that allows him to attack with which ever body part is closest to the enemy.

[edit] Masamune

Masamune (マサムネ^?): Voiced by: Hiroshi Tsuchida (anime); The Uncanny Sword, Masamune, is Tsubaki's older brother. He speaks using ancient words and likes to write haiku. In weapon form he resembled a black katana. Masamune became bitter over his younger sister's abilities because she inherited more weapon forms than him. This bitternes made him an extremely dangerous weapon. Thinking his sister pitied him, Masamune left home and wandered the world, possessing others and forcing them to use him as their weapon. This way he collected any soul he wanted and started on the path to become a Kishin. Masamune finally allowed himself to be defeated and absorbed by Tsubaki after he saw that she really does care about him. He now resides deep within Tsubaki in the form of a large deer.

Attacks: Masamune cannot use any attacks until he has possessed someone to wield him.

Soul Possession: Allows Masamune to overpower and control the soul of his user.
Puppet Shadow: Allows Masamune to control the shadow of the person he possessed.
Puppet Thrust: By folding the Shadow Puppet onto the blade, Masamune can create a far reaching lunge thrust.
Split Branches: After the Puppet Strike, large spikes come out from the shadows body to skewer the enemy at close range.
Puppet's Rain: By using multiple Shadow Puppets to restrain his enemy, Masamune stabs his enemy.

[edit] Excalibur

Excalibur (エクスカリバー, Ekusukaribā^?): Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (anime); Excalibur is the legendary sword used by heroes and kings. He has a great power that is unmatched by any other weapon. Anyone can use Excalibur, even without matching his soul wavelength. Unfortunately there are few who can put up with Excalibur's personality. He has an incredible ego, and tends to go on long rants that seem to go nowhere. In exchange for his help, Excalibur demands his meister to perform a list of one thousand tasks (including listening to Excalibur's daily five-hour recital sessions). Unlike his weapon form, Excalibur's humanoid form is far from elegant. It looks like a cartoonish anthropomorphic creature with a very long snout, dressed in a white suit and top hat (though wearing no pants) and carrying a cane. Excalibur often uses the word "fool", usually to stop other people from talking and draw attention back to him.

Excalibur is featured in a single manga chapter during which Kid and Black Star find a book about him and seek him out, only to discover that the book had in fact been written by Excalibur himself. They quickly ditched him due to his personality. While not having another appearance in the manga except in a later special chapter, in the anime Excalibur is visited again by Ox Ford, who is looking to do a school report on the legendary sword. Excalibur gives varying contradictory descriptions of his life story (including growing up as a street punk in America, assisting Sherlock Holmes, and being a famous stage dancer). In the special chapter of the manga, a DWMA student named Hero the Brave successfully wields Excalibur. When using Excalibur he gets four abilities: instant teleportation, growing wings of light that allow him to fly, moving at the speed of light, and making powerful attacks followed by a gigantic explosion. Hero does not seem to mind Excalibur's eccentric personality and happily performs his extensive list of tasks. When it turned out that once Excalibur sneezes, he will not stop for quite some time Hero got rid of the weapon, stating he found the sneezing too disgusting to put up with. In the anime, Excalibur returns late in the series to observe the final fight between Asura and Shinigami.

Unlike most other weapons in the series, Excalibur spends most of his time without a meister and in his weapon form. He usually resides in a rock in the middle of a shallow underground lake. The caves around this lake are inhabited by fairies, who are all very annoyed by Excalibur's presence.

[edit] Witches

Witches in Soul Eater play the role as primary antagonists. Considered dangerous because of their magical powers and destructive nature, witches are treacherous and only interested in self-gain, but will unite in their goal to destroy the DWMA. Most witches have traits based upon an individual animal, which runs throughout their appearance, personality and magic.

[edit] Risa and Arisa

Risa and Arisa: In the manga Risa and Arisa are two witches in Arachne's organization, Arachnophobia. They can be seen in the early chapters of the manga, flirting with Death Scythe. Risa and Arisa have been leaking information to Arachnophobia through Death Scythe, who unknowingly helps Arachne to spy on the DWMA. However, the information they pass on is actually not that helpful due to their tendency to believe Death Scythe's exaggerated stories. After being revealed as witches, they are taken into custody. In the anime, they work with Blair in the Chupa Kabras night club and later with Joe Buttataki on the Demon Tools. They are not witches in the anime and have no relation with Arachnophobia.

[edit] Angela

Angela Leon (アンジェラ・レオン, Anjera Reon^?): Voiced by: Ayaka Saitō (anime); Angela is the first real witch introduced in the series. She was the witch whose soul Black Star had wanted to claim. When he saw Angela was just a child Black Star gave up on killing her. Angela is a kid witch who is not very good at magic, which is the reason Mifune is protecting her. In the past she was kidnapped by a mafia family. Mifune, who was working for another mafia boss called Marlon, was sent to kill her but he betrayed Marlon by kidnapping and protecting her instead. Angela cares for Mifune and calls anyone that fights with him a bully (even if Mifune started the fight). Her animal theme seems to be chameleons due to her hat's appearance and the entrance of her castle. The only magic Angela has shown to be capable of is partial invisibility. She is shown attending witch meetings alongside Mifune, something that greatly angers Eruka, as Eruka dislikes humans. Later in the series Angela and Mifune ally themselves with Arachne, though it is implied that if Mifune does not cooperate Angela will be hurt. One of the duties of Arachnophobia members is to play with her. After the fall of Arachnophobia, she is taken in by the DWMA and is watched over by Black Star, Tsubaki, and Kim. Due to the fact that she is too young for her destructive instincts to have activated yet, it is suggested that exposing her to Kim's healing magic might slow the onset.

[edit] Samantha

Samantha: Voiced by: Reiko Suzuki (anime); Samantha was a witch who tried to resurrect a dead pharaoh in an Egyptian pyramid but was consumed by the pharaoh's mummy instead. She was more of a generic witch, with no apparent animal theme. She is a Spirit user.

[edit] Mabaa

Mabaa (魔婆^?): The current leader of all witches. She is held in high regards for being almost as powerful as Shinigami. Her left eye was taken by Free and is now covered by a bandage with 1/2 written across it. Her specialty is Spatial Magic and she does not appear to have an animal theme.

[edit] Medusa

Medusa (メデューサ, Medyūsa^?): Voiced by: Hōko Kuwashima (anime); The witch Medusa is the first main antagonist introducted in Soul Eater. She is the mother of Crona and manipulates her child into collecting every soul they come across. Medusa is very harsh and unforgiving to Crona, which in turn makes Crona very timid and submissive. When Crona starts having doubts about taking souls, Medusa plants a hypnotic spell in Crona's mind which makes Crona want to fight and kill. Early in the series Medusa poses as a teacher and nurse at DWMA, disguised with a Soul Proctect spell. As a nurse she has access to all the student files and she can observe which students make good candidates to become Kishin (demon gods). During this time Medusa acts like a very supportive person to hide her true nature.

Medusa's animal theme is snakes. They appear in her magic and on her clothes. Her magic chant is "Nake snake cobra cobubrara". She has thousands of snakes in her body ready to do her bidding and she can use them without dropping her Soul Protect. Her personality is similar to Dr. Stein as she sees everything as an experiment. Medusa is willing to use anyone and everyone to further her plans, even going as far as planting snake bombs in the bodies of her fellow witches to force them to cooperate with her.

Medusa leads an attack on DWMA to allow the awakening of the first Kishin. She personally fights Dr. Stein and Spirit in the lowest level of the school. While Medusa initially has the upper hand, her momentary pleasure at Asura's successful resurrection allows Stein to slice her in half. Making one final attack and claiming to love him, Medusa scatters her soul so Stein couldn't claim it and her body evaporates. A while later a snake decorated with Medusa's arrow markings is seen escaping the city through a drainpipe on the outskirts: Medusa had survived by possessing a snake, then moved onto dog, and finally possesses a little girl named Rachel. After getting her hands on the legendary artifact "Brew", Medusa forms a pact with Shinigami while using Rachel as a hostage. In return for aid, Medusa promises to give the DWMA information about her older sister Arachne.

In the manga Medusa is given authority to lead a group of students to infiltrate Arachnophobia, which upsets Maka greatly despite Medusa's claim that she is helping the DWMA for the sake of Crona. Maka and Medusa confront Arachne, but Medusa is defeated quickly by her sister. During the fight between Arachne and Maka, Medusa catches sight of Arachne's inanimate body and possesses it, gaining a new body and some of her sister's powers. She plans to finish off an exhausted Maka, whose Soul Perception abilities have become a considerable threat to witches, but is stopped by the monkey meister Enrique and the Death Scythe Tezca Tlipoca. Realizing that Arachne's body still has some of her residual consciousness left, Medusa decides that fighting in her current state would be too dangerous. Before retreating, she states that has no intention of giving Crona to Maka.

In the anime Medusa reveals information about the location of Baba Yaga's Castle, Arachnophobia's base of operations, to the DWMA. She then influences Stein to leave DWMA with her. Crona and Marie Mjölnir pursue her to rescue Stein. After the arrival of Maka and Soul, Medusa is forced out of Rachel's body and defeated by Maka's Demon-Hunt Slash attack.

Medusa's magic attacks take the form of snakes and use the concept of vectors (directions).

Vector Arrow: Sends arrow headed snakes to pierce the enemy. They can be guided by Medusa's hands.
Vector Plate: A technique that places an arrow or several arrows on the ground which will forcibly throw anything on them in the direction that the arrow is pointing. Medusa uses it for propelling herself towards the enemy to engage in close combat or to fling an attacker away from her. She can also let Vector Plates hover in the air so she can "air-dash" around while attacking opponents.
Serpent Whip: Medusa extends one of her snakes to strike from afar. Known as Light Serpent in the anime.
Steam Vector: This attack surrounds Medusa with her Vector Arrows making a spinning tornado-like shield. Called Vector Storm in the anime.
Compress: A follow-up attack on Vector Storm. Medusa uses the arrows from Vector Storm to surround and trap her enemy.
Snake Bomb: Places a snake from Medusa's body into someone else. It will detonate when she gives the signal. Medusa is also able to communicate psychically with anyone with her snake bomb in them and know where they are at anytime or in any form.
Vector Boost: A spell that doubles the power drawn in the direction of the arrow.
Vector Conduct: A technique used to see hidden marks.
Vector Blade: Conjures up a blade with an arrow shape.

[edit] Eruka Frog

Eruka Frog (エルカ・フロッグ, Eruka Furoggu^?): Voiced by: Misato Fukuen (anime); When the witch Eruka was first introduced, she was shown to be very suspicious of Medusa and believed that Medusa had too much freedom. While Medusa was staying at the DWMA, Eruka and one of the Mizune sisters tried to kill her for endangering all witches. Their plans were thwarted when Medusa used the snakes she had planted in Mizune's body to rip her apart. Medusa threatened to do the same to Eruka if she did not cooperate. From then on Eruka reluctantly assisted Medusa with her experiments in exchange for removing the snakes in her body (for every job done well, one snake was removed).

Eruka has stated that she loves destruction and considers herself lucky being born a witch. Her animal theme is frogs. She often says geko (the Japanese onomatopoeia for croaking) when speaking. Eruka can transform into a frog, enabling her to escape or spy on others. She appears to have been very good friends with Mizune, and feels sorry for having to lie to Mizune's family to get their cooperation. In the manga, Eruka is portrayed as being somewhat clingy to her partner Free, even becoming needy and docile, compared to her usually chaotic and destructive attitude. After Medusa's apparent death, she expressed an interest in getting a boyfriend, though was coerced back into her service when Medusa reappeared in the body of a young girl. Eruka's name is an anagram of the Japanese word kaeru, which means "frog". Her magic chant is "Kaerog Froeru Gekoeru Frog", with a combination of Japanese and English words.

Magic: Her magic uses the form of frogs (such as tadpoles) and the concept of calculations.

Transform: Eruka transforms into a frog. She can still talk in this form.
Egg Bombs: Tadpole-like black balls with frog faces that can hop toward their target before detonating.
Arithmetic Magic (Magic Calculation): Used as a 'place maker' for high level spells so they are more precise.

[edit] Mizune

Mizune (ミズネ^?): Voiced by: Mayuki Makiguchi (anime); Mizune is the surname of a large family of witches who all look alike and whose animal theme are mice. They speak only by saying "chi" (the Japanese onomatopoeia of a mouse squeak), but other witches have no problems understanding them. One witch from the Mizune family is initially introduced as a friend of Eruka Frog. Like Eruka, she does not like the fact that Medusa has so much freedom and that she brings Crona to the witch meetings. Mizune and Eruka attack Medusa when she is staying at DWMA but Mizune is killed by the snakes Medusa had planted in Mizune's body. Five members of the family join Medusa after Eruka tells them that the Mizune that Medusa killed was actually killed by a DWMA student. The five family members can merge into a single being capable of actual speech. They form a good-looking young woman with short pink hair with a hat, long skirt, and a shirt showing her stomach and a good portion of her breasts. Mizune's name is an anagram of the Japanese word nezumi, which means "mouse".

Magic:

Beam Hige (Whiskers): Beams of magic used for cutting that extends from the face in the form of three whiskers on each side. When used in one of the combined forms the beams come from the finger tips and function as claws.
Transform: Mizune family members can transform into mice. They can talk in this form, though only with their usual "chi" sounds.
Combined Form: An advanced transformation spell where one of the Mizune starts by snapping her fingers while doing a chant with their characteristic "chi" (like setting up a beat). Then they stack themselves in a tower formation. When the last member finishes the tower, the Mizune become a single witch. In the manga the appearance of the final form depends on how many Mizune take part in the spell. For three Mizune, it will resemble a teenage girl. If there are more, it is shown to be a grown woman.

[edit] Arachne

Arachne (アラクネ, Arakune^?): Voiced by: Michiko Neya (anime); Known as "The Heretic Witch", Arachne becomes the main antagonist in Soul Eater after Medusa is defeated for the first time. Her animal theme is the spider. Arachne is the leader of the massive organization "Arachnophobia" and uses regular spiders to spy on her enemies. Arachnophobia's main base of operations is the castle Baba Yaga. In the manga Arachne is referred to as the mother of all Demon Weapons. It is explained she created the first Demon Weapon by killing a number of humans and a single witch.

Arachne is the eldest of the three Gorgon Sisters and Medusa's older sibling, but the two don't get along very well. Unlike Medusa, Arachne's is more focused on manipulating the enemy from afar instead of facing them in direct combat. If forced to fight, Arachne can create threads of spider silk that leave a person immobilized for an certain amount of time (depending on how strong that person is). Another type of magic allows her to imprison a person inside their own mind and control them by making them face their worst fears. Should someone outside distract the targeted person however, the spell will be broken.

In the manga, Arachne's lifeless body is found by Maka, Soul, and Medusa once they infiltrate her lair within the castle. Maka senses Arachne's soul is not dead yet and that she is still in the room with them. Arachne then appears to them as an enveloping black mass and explains she discarded her body to become "insanity itself", rendering her impervious to Maka's attacks and Medusa's spells. In this form, Arachne's mental attacks are much stronger and capable of disabling Medusa instantly and affecting people within a large radius. Arachne intended to absorb the Kishin Asura and become "the mother of all". Maka eventually defeats Arachne and Soul claims her soul. However, Medusa ends up abandoning Rachel's body in favour of Arachne's discarded Gorgon body. Medusa becomes concerned when she realizes that there are still residual aspects of Arachne's consciousness in her older sister's body, indicating that Arachne may not be dead.

In the anime Arachne discovers Asura's hideout and persuades him to join her cause at Baba Yaga castle. She takes very good care of him and allows him to do as he pleases (which includes killing several Arachnophobia minions). All the while Arachne uses Asura's power to charge her madness inducing machines, which have been placed at strategic locations around the world. During the Sibusen attack, Asura fights Shinigami and manages to defeat him. After the battle, Asura reflects on the growing feelings he has towards Arachne. He becomes afraid and kills her, devouring her soul afterwards.

[edit] Blair

Blair (ブレア, Burea^?): Voiced by: Yūko Chichimoto (drama CD), Emiri Kato (anime); Blair is a cat with strong magical powers who was first mistaken for a witch by Maka and Soul. She was supposed to be the final soul they needed to make Soul a Death Scythe, but since Blair was not a witch they only took one of her nine "lives". Unfortunately, this meant that Maka and Soul had to start all over again from zero souls. After their fight, Blair moved in with Maka and Soul for no apparent reason and took up a part-time job in the Chuppa-cabras night club. Maka and Soul, as well as their friends, have quietly accepted Blair into their lives.

Blair's mantra "Pumpumkin-Pumkin" is said before using most of her powers, be it for aggressive, recreational, or personal interests. The theme of her magic consists of pumpkins, which she uses as weapons. She can launch pumpkins like cannon balls or pumpkin-shaped explosions. So far Blair has only demonstrated using her powers on inanimate objects. Blair is a skilled fighter and once single-handedly bested five Mizune witches during their assault on DWMA. Her cat form does not hamper her magical ability nor her ability to speak. In the manga, Blair has been shown to be strong enough to deal with the evil spirit The Flying Dutchman all by herself while in her cat form.

Blair is a bit naive and often refers to herself in third person. She is very good at understanding other people and is always looking for some fun whether it is harmless or not (although she is not without a conscience). Blair has started to take a liking to Soul (who she calls Scythe Boy). She uses her good looks to playfully flirt with him, usually by appearing out of her cat form in little to no clothing (implying she's a bit of an exhibitionist). Blair often does this to see Maka's reaction. In the manga, it is mentioned Blair's magic hat is named Zwan and she has an attack called "Smashing Pumpkin," both of which are references to the band of the same name. Blair's name may be a reference to the Blair Witch Project.

[edit] Free

Free (フリー, Furī^?): Voiced by: Rintarō Nishi (anime); Free is a werewolf who was put in Witch Jail for taking Mabaa's left eye. He is from the Immortal Clan and therefore he cannot die, which is why Mabaa locked him up instead of killing him. Free's actual name was lost during the years in Witch Jail but he called himself Free as he escaped with the help of Eruka Frog. Above his left eye, where his eyebrow should be, Free has a tattoo that reads NO FUTURE. He has a silly personality. For example he said he wanted to dig out of the jail using a spoon like in the movies, only to find out the food was served with chopsticks. In the anime he curses in contracted English such as "Goddamshit". In the manga, Free is portrayed as being somewhat protective over Eruka, constantly defending her and checking on her. He has almost no sense of direction.

Free fights using the iron ball still locked on his leg. In his wolf form he uses his tail as a weapon and a shield. Though initially rusty from his time in prison, Free has shown that he is adept at using ice magic (even though he sometimes ends up attacking himself by accident). His mantra before casting spells is "Wolf wolves wolf wolves". This form of chanting is comparable to that of the witches, who also base their spells around certain similar words and themes (like Medusa's snakes for example). Free can encase his iron ball, fist, or forearm in ice to use it as a weapon, or create ice spears to impale foes from above or below. He can also trap enemies by creating pillars of ice around them or by encasing them in ice. For protection he can create ice shields. Free can also charge energy into his left eye, firing it in the form of a green energy blast. He can use Spatial Magic as well, using a magic cube to isolate an area in another dimension. However, he cannot maintain this spell for long and requires help from witches casting Arithmetic Magic (Magic Calculation). As a diversion Free can cast an illusion to project his actions into another area.

[edit] Mosquito

Mosquito (モスキート, Mosukīto^?)
Voiced by: Takashi Inagaki (anime): Mosquito is Arachne's butler. His appearance is that of a short old man with a large pointy nose which is he uses to suck the blood out of a victim. In the manga he shows a sense of honor as he lets Maka, Black Star, and Kid leave when he faces them because their time was running out and they impressed him during the fight. Later he attempts to defeat the fake Eibon but gets killed while in his form from 800 years ago.; In the anime Mosquito is defeated by Maka, Black Star and Kid when they use their Chain Resonance powered by Soul Eater's black blood. Before Maka can land the killing blow, Mosquito escapes by detatching his head from his body. He manages to return to Baba Yaga castle with the fake Brew and later in the series he oversees the castle's defences when DWMA attacks.; When fighting, Mosquito can change his body to the way it was at an earlier age. His form of one-hundred years ago is Mosquito's hardest and toughest incarnation. When in this form the muscles in his upper body enlarge, giving him a huge gorilla-like torso. In his form of two-hundred years ago, his limbs and nose are longer, giving him a streamlined, feline body structure. This was when Mosquito was the fastest and most evasive. During his form of four-hundred years ago, his soul wavelength swells up enormously and he takes up the shape of a young man with slick, combed hair. In this form, Mosquito is able to construct and reconstruct his body from bat-shaped darkness. This was also when he was at his most numerous, Legion. Eight-hundred years ago, Mosquito was at his greatest. However, nearly nothing is revealed about this form before Mosquito's death, except that his face becomes goblin-like and his pupils multiply to resemble the eyes of an insect. He also refers to himself as a vampire. Mosquito uses his needle nose for attacking, any other attacks depend on the form he is using.

[edit] Asura

Asura (阿修羅, Ashura^?): Voiced by: Toshio Furukawa (anime); Often known simply as "Kishin", Asura is the strongest and most dangerous antagonist in Soul Eater, and became the first demon god. He is named after the race of demons in Hindu mythology, the Asura. Before the creation of the Death Weapon Meister Academy, Asura was the strongest member of the "Eight Powerful Warriors", a group formed by Shinigami to fight evil. Asura was greatly feared, having destroyed all of the witches of the East by himself. He had a number of strange habits such as covering his head with countless long scarves and wearing five or six shirts on his body at a time. He developed thise habits because he did not trust anyone. Asura was always very fearful of everything and became addicted to power so that he could protect himself. He started taking the souls of innocent people purely for the strength they would give him. He even went so far as to eat his own weapon partner, Vajra, out of fear, resulting in his madness and transformation into the first Kishin. Afterward, Asura's very existence caused insanity and terror to spread throughout the world. To stop him, Shinigami ripped off Asura's skin and used it to imprison him underground. He then founded the DWMA over the location, and rooted his own soul down to prevent Asura from awakening.

Asura is eventually resurrected by Eruka Frog and Free upon Medusa's orders. Even only partially awoken, Asura is powerful enough to knock out Black Star and Kid in a single blow and battle Shinigami on equal ground. As Shinigami's movements are limited by his connection to Death City, Asura managed to escape. He flew to an unknown destination to regain his strength, but just the fact that he is awake caused insanity and terror to infect the world.

Asura possesses a wide range of attacks, all of which can cause large amounts of damage even when blocked. Although he ate his own weapon partner (a vajra) Asura can cough it up for use in combat. He can release one of the pointed ends from his mouth and shoot out a powerful red beam. Yet even unarmed he can rush the enemy while using his soul wavelength to create a twister-like air current around him, creating a powerful wind-drill. His most destructive attack is his ability to focus soul power by making hand signs and fire powerful energy beams. His scarves, which are made of his own skin, are used as extra arms or for defense. Asura also possesses enhanced regenerative capabilities, a characteristic of his Black Blood.

In the anime, after his fight with Shinigami, Asura retreats to an abandoned temple to hide. He is visited by Arachne, who requests he allies with Arachnophobia to destroy the DWMA. He nearly kills her for her intrusion, but accepts her offer and goes to Baba Yaga castle. Shinigami later captures Asura and fights him in the Death Room in the DWMA. Shinigami wielded Death Scythe and was seemingly at an advantage, yet during the battle Asura fires an attack at Kid. Shinigami shields his son from the attack but is gravely injured in the process, allowing Asura to escape back to Baba Yaga. There he reflects upon his feelings for Arachne and embraces her, stating he is scared of her. He then kills Arachne and eats her soul. The powerful witch soul causes Asura to transform into a large, monstrous version of himself. Death the Kid and Black Star fight him, but only manage to make him revert to his original form. With Black Star and Kid defeated, only Maka is left. Asura begins to torment her with fear and tries to prove that someone so weak and normal as a human could never defeat him. Maka's friends tell him her greatest power is not something special, it is "courage". This causes Asura to go insane with frustration over why she would rely on something so pathetic and useless. Maka punches him in the face with a "fist full of courage," which surprisingly causes Asura's face to crack. As his body begins to shatter, Asura wonders how a punch full of something as simplistic as courage could defeat him. Maka tells him courage is indeed nothing special, but that everybody has it. Before he explodes, Asura smiles to himself upon realizing that courage is therefore the same as madness: everybody has it.

[edit] White Star

White Star (ホワイト☆スター, Howaito☆Sutā^?): Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (anime); White Star is Black Star's father. His overpowering drive for victory led him to take even innocent souls, something which eventually turned him into a Kishin. White Star was the head of a clan of ninja warriors who killed indiscriminately until Meisters from the DWMA came in and eliminated the entire clan, leaving only the infant Black Star alive. In the anime, it is shown he fought Mifune on two occasions: once before becoming a Kishin and once after.

[edit] Eibon

Eibon (エイボン, Eibon^?): Voiced by: Yasuyuki Kase (anime); Like Asura, Eibon was a member of the "Eight Powerful Warriors" under Shinigami long ago. He created Brew and many other demon tools. Not much has been revealed about him, though he is seen in the time vortex wearing a large coat and mask, which cover up most of his body. Eibon is summoned to the DWMA by Shinigami to unlock Brew. In the anime, Eibon searched for immortality, hoping to cure a lover of a fatal illness. He even allied to Arachne's in his search for a cure, but he ultimately failed. As a penance for allying with a witch, he activates Brew for Shinigami.

[edit] Noah

Noah (ノア, Noa^?), aka Eibon (エイボン, Eibon^?), aka Grimoire (グリモア, Gurimoa^?): Voiced by: Daisuke Kirii (video game); Noah is someone working with Arachne under the false name Eibon. He wears a plaid hat with a few metal earrings on it and has tattoos on his arms that are really shadows. Noah and Mosquito are not on good terms, and Mosquito has always been extremely distrustful of him. Noah has only shown one form of attack so far: summoning a shadowy worm-like creature from his book, the Book of Eibon. Noah's real identity is a mystery, but he has taken up Eibon's title because of the "brand recognition" it offers. His goal is to use the Book of Eibon to absorb and "collect" everything, which he feels in essence would make him "everything". Absorbing everything includes other living beings, as he is recently shown to have trapped Death the Kid within the confines of his book. To achieve his ambition he betrayed Arachnophobia by doing something to Arachne and easily killing Mosquito, thereby revealing his real name: Noah. He is allied with the Kishin and has formed a group in order to kill Maka because of her soul perception ability. His group consists of Justin, Giriko, the clown, and a new character named Gopher. In the game Soul Eater: Monotone Princess he is named Grimoire and is assisting Ponera. Noah does not appear in the anime.

[edit] Little Ogre

Little Ogre (小鬼, Ko Oni^?): Voiced by: Hōchū Ōtsuka (anime); Called "Little Ogre" by Soul Eater, this strange imp appeared before Soul inside his heart after Ragnarok infected him with the Black Blood. The Little Ogre constantly tempts Soul with power in exchange for his sanity. He also attempts to spread the insanity of the black blood to others by urging Soul to use soul resonance or chain resonance. The Little Ogre always goes dressed in a tuxedo. His arms seem too long compared to his body and he has the strange habit of biting all of his fingers when he is excited. He resides in a room with a black and red tiled floor and red curtains for walls listening to a jazz record that constantly skips.

In the anime the Little Ogre manages to almost overpower Soul during his final battle against Asura. By drawing too much power from the Black Blood during Chain Resonance, the Little Ogre in Soul's heart grew larger than Soul himself and nearly absorbed all of him. To the outside world it appeared as if Soul had fainted and Maka went into Soul's heart to rescue him. When the Little Ogre notices this, he disguises himself as Soul in order to trick Maka into giving him the last piece of Soul's heart. However, Maka sees through this deception and manages to rescue Soul before the Black Blood can get a hold of the last part of him. This breaks the power of the Little Ogre and causes him to shrink to a tiny size. When asked what he will do with the Little Ogre, Soul says he accepts it is part of him. He then eats the Little Ogre, much to Maka's disgust.

[edit] Clown

Clown (道化師, Dōkeshi^?)

The Clown is a powerful enemy described by himself as the "the terror that can be seen". He essentially is the incarnation of insanity, which makes his soul wavelength the same as Asura. His attacks concentrate most on the infection of insanity, although he can perform some physical moves. The Clown first appears in a mission in a factory in Russia, in which he catches Maka with his powers, but she is able to escape the insanity by awakening the the Demon-Hunt Slash and eventually defeating him. Later, the Clown comes back in Noah's group. In the manga, he changes his form constantly and it is hinted that he had an encounter with Justin.

In the anime, the Clown is a minor enemy that protects the demon tool to operate "Brew" and he is easily defeated by Kid.

[edit] Gopher

Gopher (ゴフェル, Goferu^?)

Gopher is the only new character in Noah's group, and he only appears in the manga. He has full loyalty in Noah making him aggressive when it comes to insult towards his leader. It is shown that he can use some type of magic. He is in charge of killing Maka when Justin fails that mission.

[edit] Fisher King

Fisher King: Voiced by: Takurō Kitagawa (anime); The Fisher King is an Arachnophobia assassin, dressed in a full body diving suit. He is sent to capture a demon tool in the Sahara, but is easily defeated by Death The Kid on the Runaway Express. All of the Fisher King's attacks focus on his harpoon gun, which can shoot cannon balls at the enemy. He can also use it to travel long distances by shooting out a hook. The Fisher King's gun was destroyed by a Mizune witch, and later on he himself was killed by Sid.

[edit] Humans

[edit] Mifune

Mifune (ミフネ, Mifune^?): Voiced by: Kenjirō Tsuda (anime); Mifune used to be a bodyguard for a mafia family. He was sent to kill a rival family and retrieve the witch that they had, but when he noticed the witch in question was just a kid, he decided to leave the mafia business and protect the kid witch instead. Mifune carries a giant scabbard full of katana with him, wrapped in caution tape saying 'Keep Out', as well as a single katana in a normal scabbard at his side. His attacks center around his Infinite One-Sword Style (無限一刀流, Mugen Ittōryū^?) which allows him to attack using either a single or multiple swords. Mifune also uses his swords by throwing them into the ground and using them as platforms to travel across. He is incredibly dextrous, and is able to pick up and swing a sword forcefully using the big toe of his foot even while wearing a sandal. Mifune often wears a sweatshirt with the word OSAMURAI emblazened on the left breast. His name comes from legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, who portrayed samurai in many films. In the manga, Mifune has a soul so strong that it counts for ninety-nine souls by itself. In the anime this is not specified. He really likes being around children, even playing with the idea of being a teacher when it is suggested to him. Due to his fondness of children, he carries around candy with him.

Black Star was the first DWMA student to run into Mifune. He was after the witch Angela, but Mifune stepped in to protect her. This started the long rivalry between them. While Black Star managed to defeat Mifune, he decided not to kill Angela as she was still a child. Later on, Mifune becomes a bodyguard for Arachne's organization, but only because she is holding Angela captive. This is altered in the anime, where Mifune approaches the organization willfully, exchanging his services for Angela's protection against DWMA forces. In the manga Mifune is killed by Black Star, fading away after receiving a fatal wound to the stomach. In the anime, Black Star defeats him but does not kill him. Instead he offers Mifune a chance to become a teacher at the DWMA.

[edit] Wes Evans

Wes Evans (ウェスエバンス, Wesu Ebansu^?): Wes is Soul's brother and was the first one to find out about Soul's weapon abilities. He is said to be a master at the violin. Soul feels that he can never be like his brother because he does not know what he is 'capable of'. Wes resembles an older version of Soul and has noticeably tamer hair than his younger brother. He only appears in the manga.

[edit] Other antagonists

[edit] Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper (切り裂きジャック, Kiri Saki Jakku^?): Voiced by: Kōichi Sakaguchi (anime); A killer with claws, a mask, and bondage outfit. Maka and Soul defeated him and he became their ninety-ninth evil human soul. His name is a reference to the serial killer of the same name.

[edit] Al Capone

Al Capone (アル・カポネ, Aru・Kapone^?): Voiced by: Shōzō Iizuka (anime); Al Capone was a mafia leader who ate souls. Black Star and Tsubaki were supposed to take him out, but he and his entire mafia family were killed by Mifune for trying to get their hands on the witch Angela. His name is a reference to real life mob boss of the same name.

[edit] Lupin

Lupin (ルパン, Rupan^?): Voiced by: Kenichi Mochizuki (anime); Lupin is thief in the human world. Death the Kid was sent out to defeat him, but due to Patti being a little off in a pose, he managed to escape while Kid berated her. A possible reference to Arsène Lupin.

[edit] Pharaoh

Pharaoh (ファラオ, Farao^?): Voiced by: George Nakata (anime); The mummy of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh whom Kid could not bring himself to attack while the mummy resided in his symmetrical coffin. However he was gunned down mercilessly once Kid saw the Pharaoh's real (and very mismatched) appearance.

[edit] Rasputin

Rasputin (ラスプーチン, Rasupüchin^?): Voiced by: Katsuhisa Hōki (anime); Rasputin was an evil priest who was thought to be invincible, but was easily taken down by Maka and Soul.

[edit] Marlon

Marlon (マーロン, Märon^?): Marlon was Mifune's old boss until Mifune betrayed him by 'kidnapping' the child witch Angela instead of killing her. Marlon is named after the actor Marlon Brando, to whom he even bears a little resemblance.

[edit] The Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman (さまよえるオランダ人, Samayonru Orandajin^?): Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto (anime); The Flying Dutchman was the captain of the ghost ship Niddhogg that was being used by Medusa to gather more souls for the Kishin. He fought with a gun, just like Kid, though the Flying Dutchman's gun resembled a miniature cannon.
