The race is on! Can the students
of DWMA prevent the First Kishin from being resurrected? If not, what will the
consequences be?
As Death the Kid hurries to join
forces with Black Star and Tsubaki, he finds himself unable to proceed due to
the asymmetry of the hallway he must pass through. Can Patty and Liz put him
back on the right track and get him to move forward? Meanwhile, fearful of
being caught up with, Free commandeers Tadpole Jackson from Eruka. Maka is
facing down Crona. In order to defeat her, Maka allows herself to slip into
madness. Will this work? And will she be able to come back from it?
Dr. Stein is battling Medusa,
while still monitoring what is happening ahead of them. As Eruka and Free draw
close to the First Kishin, they begin to fall under the spell of his madness,
which manifests itself in various illusions.
This is one of the most
action-packed, exciting volumes of Soul Eater so far, and I loved it. Everyone
is racing toward the First Kishin. Some want to resurrect him, while the others
wish to prevent that. Lives will be changed, sacrifices made, but who will come
out on top? I consider Maka, if anyone, to be the star of this volume, but
everybody plays their parts well, even Death Scythe.
As usual, there is a certain
amount of humor to be found, even in the face of what might turn into tragedy.
Look for Blair the Witch, who has a small part to play herself. Looking forward
to the next volume!
