-
they obviously went to onemanga forum.

I recent caught up with the manga. I love this series.
Why do Mangastream take so long to scanlate this, yet we get shitty things like Vinland Saga, which no one cares about.
-
where is souleater?

Chinese scans are out.

! I don't know the dialogue but it seems like Noah has been defeated.
! Kid somehow connected one of his lines springing forth awesome power. -
! couldn't understand a single word but like renagadesoul says looks like noah is defeated…I wish someone would kill off gopher. An HOLY CRAP! Justin has an army of Clowns, I'm dissapointed with that dragon

Well, Kid just kicked ass and that satisfied me.
-
HOT DAMN look at all those "clowns"
-
I feel sorry for the people that read this that are afraid of clowns
.So, Kid learned a new move (or at least used it for the first time) and connected 2 of his bands. I wonder if anything special happens when he connects them all. And we finally get to see what Asura's up to.

If those clowns were real, i'd be scared out of my mind.
Luckily there's pennywise the clown with his sharp teeth reassuring me that clowns are not scary in the least.
-
has this series always been a bad acid trip or have I just noticed it recently?
-
^This whole arc has been like that. Thought it would just be in the book but if you think about it there's been acid trip scenes with that girl who uses the Ragnarok sword and any time the insanity stuff played a part with a character like Justin.
I thought this fight would've been a bit longer. Seemed to just be super new move for Kid and Noah is dead.
-
I like the clowns.
Fight was a little too short for my taste. -
that was a horrible fight…. just really to quick
-
I agree about it being too quick… after being hyped up for months. Aw well atleast the arc is over :S...
-
I doubt Noah is done yet. For now atleast.
-
I hope Justin goes the Kefka route and not the "redeemed at the last minute to save a major character and be mortally wounded in the process." I have bad, bad vibes from Justin… He may actually turn out to become the Main Villain.
The way I see it, Stein and Justin aren't too far apart. The difference is, Stein was a bit older and had Marie and Spirit to pull him back from the brink of insanity... Justin has been and always will be alone. As a result, he went batshit crazy, and... that brings us to where we are.
I'm about 80% sure that he's going to absorb/kill/ascend over Asura and become the main villain. It's been hinted at for a while now, I think.
Also, who here thinks that the next arc will involve the third (and final) Medusa sister? We haven't even had so much as a hint to her whereabouts yet. I don't know about you, but that's a little fishy. Unless she's already dead, but that's just silly. You don't make a point of having three extremely powerful witch sisters and the supposedly most powerful of the three being deceased.
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.
-
You know, I may have just forgotten, but was it ever stated whether Justin just went insane or if he was lying back when he acted as a "good guy"?
-

He's been a Deathscythe for 3 years and Asura was only released a couple months ago. It's pretty obvious that he just got affected by the madness like Stein, but unlike Stein, nobody was there to pull him back and he just snapped and went insane.

-
It's fairly obvious that Noah escaped into the book.
Also, the copy burned out to ashes. Spartoi almost entirely is now very far from Death City. Meanwhile, no monkey at the sight yet. Very suspicious…
-
And so a villanous group with a boring leader is introduced only to be instantly destroyed, with one leftover villain surviving to join up with another group and the plot not really moving forward at all.
This reminds me too much of the Baba Yaga arc conclusion, only here the only interaction with Noahs group prior to it's destruction was Gopher sneaking in on Makas training.After this arc, Soul Eater needs to bring Medusa, Chrona or dare I say it the what-the-hell-is-it-even-doing Kishin back again to keep my interest.
-
I'm a little confused as to how the power-up works, I may be forgetting something from earlier chapters that mentions circuit connections.
Overall, i enjoyed last chapter a lot more, and not only because Blackstar shined, I wish the fight had been drawn out a little more.
-

Actually, this is the first time the circuits are shown, but it was stated long ago how they sincronize their soul wavelenghts.
I still doubt Noah is really dead. Everything went too easy, it's like from the very beggining he never had any intention to kill them, or at the very least, kill Kid.
-
Well that was a huge disappointment.
-
man, about 3 chapters ago the adults got their ass handed to them, and I went "it must be an illusion, I know the author is a good writer, this must turn out right!" and now this horribly rushed fight.
You know, when you think about it, that puts us right back where we were when the Brew arc started.
Medusa & co. are still all there, rehabilitating chrona didn't last.
Asura is still out there.
Spartoi is still together.
The macguffin Brew is still not in anyone's hands.
The only thing that changed was that apparently the Shibusen teaching staff has turned into suckwads.I mean, we've been through Arachne's bullshit and now Noa's bullshit and the power balance is all still the same. Sure, the kids got new powers, but hasn't everyone? And it's almost like they got powerful so that the adults could take a back seat, and if they replace them as the main power of Shibusen, then they are doing just that. REPLACING. meaning that the teams are still the same.
The only real difference is that Justin is now apparently on the side of the Kishin, but I honestly don't think that'll stick. Justin is a habitual traitor.
Really, look at it. Look at the teams.
EVIL: Medusa, Free, Eruka, Mizune, Chrona, Asura, Justin, Clown
GOOD: Spartoi, Sid, Stein, Spirit, Marie, sniper girl, Shinigamithis is a list that could've been made years ago, and it is still just as accurate. It doesn't really feel like any progress has been made at all.
I still count this manga as one of my all-time favorites, but as I write this, I realize that it feels like it is stagnating.
-
I'm a little disappointed that the fight ended fast…..but overall, the chapter wasn't half bad. At least the arc's done.
(You guys all make good points about the lack of plot progression. :S)
-
I'm also starting to think Noah isn't dead. Just think of his final scene:
"All of this will be mine." Grin
Surely the scene of someone who has another sleeve up his plan. It reminds me of a scene in Yu-Gi-Oh! where Bakura is hit by a massive attack of light from Osiris and has the same expression. And any YGO fan knows that Bakura didn't die after that.
I also suspect he is in the book. Why would Okubo have his henchman appear and steal the book if it and Noah will not have some importance later in the story?
-
I think so too. He's an insane collector of strange artifacts after-all. Brew is just one of them.
-
Well if he's not dead it's becoming lame that these kids get the chance for the final fight and for the second time now fail to kill the bad guy.
Is this just a set up for some future arc for past bad guys to show up and gang up on them? or some be allies?
-
Such a disappointing fight… the attack was cool at least

Well, they definitely killed Arachne, and Stein had apparently killed Medusa. Personally, Medusa surviving being killed by Stein was kind of stupid, and it would've been fucking hilarious if Asura had eaten or ripped Eruka in half instead of screaming and running away from her (though it wouldn't matter; she's pretty harmless compared to say… oh, just about everyone else that's a bad guy in the series). I'm still waiting for the third Gorgon Sister, Damnit.

Well, I can understand the reasoning behind it; Without Medusa, Crona would become a good guy; it's his(her) only restraint. Would you rather have good guy, mopey Crona, or bad guy, crazy Crona?

-
Ehhh….even the book guy....I think he's the index or something said Noah was dead. I'm hoping Noah is still alive because that was ridiculous. Noah didn't even fight back! I'm hoping he's trapped in the book with only him knowing he's there, so it's no like he's really trapped if he did it on purpose. Maybe found a way to get past the index's sight.
Anyway, alright chapter but the arc overall was C+. Just a bad way to end.

Wasn't it occasionally being brought up since Arachne was "killed" that she was in fact not dead? Like when that guy entered the book just to avenge her and found out she was alive after Maka told him(technically her cuz he switched bodies) that Arachne blew up when she killed her.
http://www.mangareader.net/157-56006-31/soul-eater/chapter-76.html
Which I guess means she switched bodies before Maka/Sould landed the final blow or she had been switched bodies before the fight started. Or at least that's what I thought that scene was pointing too.

No, that doesn't make any sense. I think Giriko was just impressed that Arachne would go out with such a bang. Arachne is definitely dead; otherwise, Soul wouldn't be a Death Scythe. The series made it clear from Chapter 1 that a Weapon has to eat 99 Kishin Eggs and 1 Witch Soul to become a Death Scythe. Any substitute fucks up the process and forces them to start over. Unless Arachne switched with some random spider-themed witch at the last moment, she's definitely dead and was eaten by Soul.

There really is no other way to read that scene with Giriko. A point was being made. For all we know you don't have to eat the entire soul to become a Death Scythe she could have split her soul or something. I could see that the fact that Soul didn't eat a whole witch soul coming up as a plot point.
-
If Soul became a death scythe without eating her entire soul, I think that would be some pretty hard-core cop out shit, mangaka need to let their characters die.
-
yeah, no offense but the whole 'split soul' thing seems like a part of a fanfiction.
-
Technically, Arachne still retains some control over her body, now in possession of Medusa. But this "splitting soul" thing is retarded. Giriko was just being his usual, no hint at Arachne being alive.
-
i'm sure glad giriko is dead.
-
@Fire Fist:
No, that doesn't make any sense.
The way he talked about it seemed like the reasonable conclusion to come to. Humans don't blow up when they die, he used a golem. Then he's told Arachne blew up when she died.

This doesn't make sense. Why would he be impressed after just saying humans don't blow up when they die.?
I understand all the other things said about becoming a death scythe but other than just saying Giriko was insane with rage or doesn't necessarily know what he's talking about I took that scene either to point to Arachne being alive in some way or an unnecessary tangent to a settled plot line.

Then explain how come she can be alive when her soul got eaten by Soul. Though I won't deny you could be right.

Because Arachne wasn't a normal Human. She was a Witch. Giriko specifically said that Humans don't blow up when they die, implying Meisters and Weapons. He didn't say anything about Witches. Didn't one of the Mizunes explode when Medusa killed her? I'm pretty sure everyone's reading Giriko's statement wrong. What he probably meant was, "I'd expect nothing less than a witch exploding."
And of course, the whole going back to "Soul is a Death Scythe now" shtick. It was made clear that there's no if, ands, or buts about the criteria to becoming a DS: 99 Kishin Eggs and 1 Witch Soul. Even the half soul, as some suggest, wouldn't work. If that was the case, Blair would've worked back in Chapter 1. She's not a witch, but she's got enough magical power to technically be considered one.

-

I'm not denying that her soul was seemingly eaten. I'm saying two contradicting things are in question. However what Fire Fist said about her switching with another person and that one being consumed is possible.
@Fire Fist:Because Arachne wasn't a normal Human. She was a Witch
So you're saying witches blow up when they die? Stating that she wasn't a normal human and that she was a witch does not correlate to blowing up when you die. There's been no evidence of that (humans exploding upon death) in the story as of now.
Giriko specifically said that Humans don't blow up when they die, implying Meisters and Weapons.
We can't be necessarily sure what he was implying or what he was including or excluding under the umbrella of "human" From the way he said it he was asking a question pointing to Maka's stupidity of assuming he was dead since the body exploded. Of course she saw nothing wrong with that.
He didn't say anything about Witches.
You're not even following your own reasoning.
Arachne isn't a normal human. Not being a normal human does not mean you are not human. It just means you aren't "normal". Being a witch does not make her not human. He says humans don't explode. Maka said she did explode. So from that we can deduce (unless you disagree about humans exploding when they die) Arachne is in fact not human and we all made an assumption about that and she died or she did in fact not die/we saw a golem or something with a soul explode.
Didn't one of the Mizunes explode when Medusa killed her?
I don't really remember, link?
I'm pretty sure everyone's reading Giriko's statement wrong. What he probably meant was, "I'd expect nothing less than a witch exploding."
The only statement Giriko made when he mentioned exploding was "You were all happy about taking out that golem huh? You thought you killed me, right? Right? THERE'S NO WAY A HUMAN WOULD EXPLODE LIKE THAT, IS THERE!?" He never at any point says anything about witches and explosions after he says that. After Maka says she did explode he specifically says "that woman" speaking specifically of Arachne nothing referring back to or implying that witches in general explode or that he'd expect "witches" would explode when they die since he's either alluding to his amazement that she exploded or hinting that she didn't die.
That would be a glaring mistranslation error if he wasn't talking specifically about Arachne but in fact all witches. It'd completely change the tone of the conversation and that would mean the author is loudly telling us that witches EXPLODE WHEN THEY DIE.
And of course, the whole going back to "Soul is a Death Scythe now" shtick. It was made clear that there's no if, ands, or buts about the criteria to becoming a DS: 99 Kishin Eggs and 1 Witch Soul. Even the half soul, as some suggest, wouldn't work. If that was the case, Blair would've worked back in Chapter 1. She's not a witch, but she's got enough magical power to technically be considered one.
I'm not even arguing that part. I think you'd have to figure out why she exploded/if she did in fact die before we get to what soul was consumed to make Soul a Death Scythe.
And I'm just saying this may be the case from the way I interpreted it. I'm not buying the mistranslation excuse though.

I suppose it's a little different considering she had snakes burst out of her… But I think that's the only other instance we have of a witch dying... Stein slaying Medusa's original body doesn't really count.
