Soul Eater Synopsis
Death City is home to the famous Death Weapon Master Academy, a technical academy run by the Shinigami, the Lord of Death himself. His mission: to breed Scythes of Death for the Shinigami to fight against the many evils of his fantasy world. However, these Scythes of Death are not physical weapons, but are born from human hybrids who have the ability to transform their bodies into “demonic weapons” and only after they have consumed the souls of 99 evil beings and the soul of a witch .
The soul eater Evans, a demonic scythe who only seems to care about the cool, strives to become a death scythe with the help of its skillful bearer or master Maka Albarn. The contrasting duo works in tandem with the impulsive Black ☆ Star and his cuddly weapon Tsubaki as well as the Shinihami’s own son, Death the Kid, a compulsive bearer of twin pistols, Patty and Liz.
