Soul Eater (ソウルイーター)

A sound soul...

...dwells within a sound mind...

...and a sound body.

Maka!

His wavelength is distorted...

It's full of bloodlust.

Now that I'm good and fired up,

there'll be no stopping us!

My soul's wavelength holds

eight hundred years of anger and hatred!

Now Ragnarok.

Here we go, Maka.

Right.

Why would the madness wavelengths cause a

soulless creature like a golem to go berserk?

The first golem was created eight hundred years ago...

That's around the same time

magic weapons were born as well.

What caused this incident in Loof Village...?

There's only one thing that I can think of.

The soul of the heretic witch could be hiding

inside that old golem...

In which case it could definitely react to the

madness wavelengths.

800 Years of Bloodlust... Advent of the Heretic Witch?

Are you ready, Maka?

Yes.

Ragnarok.

Yup!

Go Dark Sword...

Screech Alpha!

Now!

Too hard.

It may be an old golem,

but you're gonna need more than that to bring it down...

I've taken good care of it.

Don't push your luck...

Back away!

It's okay!

I can keep going!

I've managed to get this close with Crona's help...

I'm not going anywhere!

Maka... what's happening?

My...

My body...

Time to chop you into pieces!

What's happening?

Maka!

What's going on?

I can't move...

It's like I'm frozen.

What?!

Damn it... What now?

Crap...! Great. What do I do?!

What's this...?

It's thread.

Here it is!

There were mass hallucinations in countries

surrounding the Czech Republic.

Nearly five hundred thousand people reportedly

saw mysterious, black,

ball-like things both indoors and outdoors in the area.

No one ever figured out what they were...

With no other explanation available,

the case was ultimately considered a mass hallucination.

People who reported hallucinations of the

mysterious black objects described them as spider-like.

Spiders...

And the area where most

of the hallucinations were recorded was...

It was Loof Village!

That settles it...

This wasn't a hallucination.

Eight hundred years ago,

when that heretic disappeared--

she must have split up her body into the black

objects those people saw.

And when that was done...

she left her soul inside the old golem.

What... was that?

Uhhhh...

A spider?

So the spiders scattered

across the world have finally gathered.

I've waited for this.

Lord Death, it's Stein...

We need to talk.

Hey there...! Hiya...!

How ya doin'...?

Thanks for comin'!

Good to see ya!

Well...? What's up...?

Have ya got something figured out?

Yes... I believe the heretic witch

Arachne scattered her body and left her soul inside

the golem that's gone crazy in Loof Village.

Arachne?

That's right.

It'd make sense for her to be the first one we've

seen dramatically affected by the madness wavelengths.

Even here, I can feel it.

The madness inside me.

Her madness is clawing its way inside my body.

I know it's hard, but try to endure it.

This is too much for Maka

and the others to handle alone.

I'll head there now to help them.

Now, now, Stein, don't be hasty...

I had a bad feeling about this situation too, you see.

Necessary measures have already been taken.

Look. The spiders are climbing up it.

They're being drawn into it

by the soul I sensed in the golem.

Crona?

Don't worry. I'll protect you, Maka.

The Kishin has been revived.

Its madness runs throughout the world.

While you were sleeping,

the Earth suddenly became a fantastic place to live.

Right...

Arachne?

I wonder...

Is one coffin going to be enough for this job?

Arachne...

The mother of magic weapons.

This must have happened because of the madness wavelengths.

They've stirred her at last from her slumber.

Who knew she was still alive after all this time?

The mother of magic weapons...

She was responsible for

bringing these creations into the world.

She used witches' souls to give them their ability to

transform from people into weapons.

[Arachne breathing heavy as she runs]

She would kill other witches and sacrifice their

souls in order to make her terrible weapons.

As a result...

...she found herself being chased not only by me...

...but by her fellow witches as well.

Where did you go?

This woman... this...

...wavelength...

La--

...Lady Medusa?

It's nice to meet you children...

I've been looking forward to this.

Maka... Soul.

Last night you had a little argument, didn't you...?

Over who it was that burned the curry.

How could you possibly know that?

It was Soul...

He forgot to turn the burner off and scorched your dinner.

The two of you aren't my only entertainment, though.

I've been watching everything

that's gone on throughout the world...

For eight centuries...

...through the eyes of my dear spiders.

You too, Crona...

The child of Medusa... my little sister.

How delightful...

Medusa didn't love you one little bit, did she...?

Well... It's not too late.

I can give you my love.

[Arachne laughs softly and slowly builds]

Oh, how delightful!

Go after her, Crona!

Kill the witch!

We're on fire now!

A close call...!

But I guess I have aged

a bit in these last eight hundred years.

I'm no longer delighted...

Exterminate the brat, Giriko.

Sure thing.

No way...! He broke through

the black blood with just one kick?

My trusty Saw Leg...

Looks like speed setting

two is enough to take care of this brat.

I guess Medusa's research was nothing special after all.

Cuts like that are nothing...!

I'll just harden the black blood.

After you say, thank you!

Thank you.

You mean 'thanks very much!'

They're stronger than I thought.

I guess I'll just hafta cut 'em in half and eat their souls.

Stop it...!

When you squat it looks
