Episode 8: Recap 1
For those that have forgotten a whole deal about the series, here a 2 part recap on the whole "Soul Eater Chronicles" series... please enjoy! P.S: The entire series is based on the Anime and not the Manga...
Soul Eater Chronicles: Return of the Witch
This takes place three months after the defeat of Asura, the First Kishin. It started all well and good with the first ever, "Kishin's Defeat Party!" As the party gets a little silly and a little out of control, Death the Kid gets an invitation by a secret admirer and heads off to meet her.
Meanwhile, Soul and Black Star follow with intent to beat him up but instead, the two boys discover that the mystery girl is a witch who then kid-naps, no pun intended, Kid. The students of Shibusen sensed her and rushed off to confront the enemy but were too late. As the witch flies off with her target, Maka sees that her witch soul has two protruding wings.
The next morning, Kid awakens atop the ruins of Baba Yaga's castle. There, he confronted the witch, who called herself Blair, and the Mizune Family. Unfortunately, he ended up in their trap and is forcefully resonated with the hundreds of wicked souls left after Asura died.
Much later, Maka and the gang finally arrived at the scene in a helicopter piloted by Sid. They found an unconscious Kid and the lone witch, Blair. Almost immediately, they attack after being provoked by the brazen foe.
Despite having expert skills and tons of experience on their side, they still got their butts handed to them. In the end, Blair had the upper hand with her superior evasive manoeuvres and swift counters. It was only through an incident of her own causing that defeated her.
Anyway, after they brought Kid to the infirmary in Shibusen, he slipped into a coma. In his dreams, he saw Arachne and was confronted by none other than Asura, the First Kishin.
Meanwhile, Blair the Witch was locked up in chains in the school dungeon. There, she used her special ability of Echolocation and mapped the entire school underground before being taken to the Death Room where the Shinigami and the Death Scythes questioned her plans and motives.
After falling to the Dreaded Itchy Nose torture, Blair told them of the Witch Queen, Mabaa's desire for a new eye to replace the one she lost. But not just any eye would do, she wanted the eye of Asura's weapon, Vajra. The weapon was lost in the ruins of Baba Yaga so Blair had to 'borrow' Kid in order to use his Soul Perception to look for it or so she claimed.
After this, the Shinigami had to strike a deal with the witch in order to release his son from the coma. She held her part of the bargain and Kid slowly woke up after she kissed him on the lips.
In the last chapter, a public trial was held for Blair the Witch. As she was about to be sentenced to death, Maka, Soul, Chrona, Marie and Stein readied themselves for the worst. All of a sudden, the serious Shinigami turned into his wacky self and introduced Blair de Valesti to the entire school via television as the newest student of Shibusen. The whole student body rejoiced with the addition of a beauty whilst the lead characters could only stare in shock.
Soul Eater Chronicles: Broken Resonance
This started off somewhere in the desert near Death City. Blair the Cat headed home after a long day's work, but found someone had broken into her house. It was none other than Blair de Valesti. The cat was confused at first, but through a series of helpful flashbacks, she was able to recognize the woman as her long lost owner; hence explained the origin of her name.
It was a happy reunion, although the cat soon realized how her beloved mistress enjoyed teasing her with playful hints of yuri-ism as seen when she suggested they 'sleep' together when there was only one bed.
The next morning, Blair the Cat awoke in the arms of her beloved mistress. They were spooning. Immediately, she transformed into her feral form and leaped away to safety. Unlike her teasing of Soul, the cat found it difficult to handle being teased by a fellow female especially if it was her owner.
Anyway, after some commotion, the two girls went off to attend their very first day in Shibusen. Blair de Valesti was wearing the cat's witchy attire whilst her pet went looking like any other black cat. The latter complained the need of her presence only to be answered with, "a true witch needs a familiar."
In the third and last chapter, Blair diligently studies her lessons whilst her cat slept on her lap. The meisters and weapons of the school were surprised by her risky choice of clothing. Her dressing up like a witch in Shibusen was like dangling meat in front of a lion. Nevertheless, this showed them that she was bold and fearless, which they were also impressed with.
After class, Stein organized a test battle between Blair and Black Star. Meanwhile, the absence of Chrona prompted Maka and Soul to head underground in search of her. Elsewhere, Death the Kid soared across the cerulean skies on his skateboard to a destination unknown.
With the three main leads heading off into different places, this saga ended and would start anew with a tri-saga storyline. These three arcs were entitled, "Dark Path of the Stars" for the Black Star arc, "Weapons of Fate" for the Soul and Maka story arc, and finally, "Twilight of the Gods" story arc for Death the Kid.
