Plot synopsis:

Soul Eater primarily revolves around students classified as meisters at the Shinigami Weapon Meister Vocational School or Shibusen for short, located in the fictional Death City, in Nevada, United States. The school is run by Shinigami, the God of Death himself, as a training facility for weapons and the human wielders of those weapons, the meisters. Each meister has at least one demon weapon companion which has both a weapon and human form. Shinigami created the school as an organization that enforces peace in order to prevent the rebirth of the "kishin", evil demon gods that nearly destroyed everything by plunging the world into chaos. Human souls that have become evil by straying from the path of humans have a high risk of becoming kishin, so evil humans are constantly being hunted down and killed by the students trained at Shibusen. The ultimate goal of the students with their weapons is to have their weapons defeat and absorb the souls of ninety-nine evil humans and one witch, which will make i a "death scythe" and thus be capable of being used by Shinigami. In order to ensure this is done in a timely manner, all students and weapons attend classes regularly and are given homework or supplementary lessons to further their training. The meisters have a rating system that goes from one to three stars which usually measures soul energy. It is important that the meister and weapon can tune their "soul wavelength" to perform high level attacks and bring out the weapon's full power.

Main characters:

Maka Albarn (Maka Aruban)
Maka is Soul's meister. She is the more level-headed of the two but when her anger gets the better of her, she will put her foot down. Where Soul seems to be the brawn, Maka is the brain. She possess a powerful chopping attack that is mainly directed at Soul Eater for comedic purposes. She always tries to think of a way to beat their opponent by exploiting the opponent's weaknesses. Her father is the Shinigami's current death scythe, she seems to hate her father for constantly flirting with other women but she still loves him. Her mother was also a scythe meister; she and Maka's father are divorced. Her goal in life is to surpass her mother as a meister.


Soul Eater Evans (Soru Ita Ebansu)
Soul Eater, "Soul" to his friends, is Maka's partner. his human appearance is that of a teenage boy, and his attitude is like one also. Soul's personality mostly consist of what he considers "cool". Being a "cool" guy, he almost always uses the direct approach which most of the time fails, and even drives a motorcycle, which both he and Maka use for transportation. He sometimes becomes too driven by the idea of eating souls, which leads him to bicker with Maka, but in the end they remain friends and partners. He may have feelings for her as he is "willing to die for his technician." He is also friends with Black Star because of their similar personalities, but at the same time they can't match their wavelength. His way of absorbing souls is literally eating them. He says that it's the texture, not the taste, that matters. When Dr. Stein saw his soul, he said it was that of "a twisted person with a sarcastic soul." His body has been invaded by Ragnarök's black blood, giving him an energy boost but could lead to his soul consuming Maka's if he lets it get out of control.


Black Star (Burakku Suta)
He is Tsubaki's meister. He comes from a family of ninjas and he uses assasination tactics. His biggest weakness is that he is a total show-off and thinks that he is some kind of star, which he happily proclaims, defeating the purpose of the ninja arts. The few times he uses his ninja stealth is when he peeps on Tsubaki (which normally ends up with him yelling and showing his whereabouts upon seeing Tsubaki's nude body) when she is bathing, or when he finally takes the fight seriously. His delusion of stardom is so great that he constantly gives out autographs that nobody wants. Black Star hates it when someone gets more attention then him and will show them who the real star is. He is also able to use his soul wavelength in hand-to-hand combat. Dr. Stein stated the painfully obvious when he said Black Star's was "a terribly self-absorbed soul". His favorite number is one, most likely because he considers himself to be number one.


Tsubaki Nakatsukasa (Nakatsukasa Tsubaki)
She is Black Star's partner. She can change into multiple ninja weapons (shuriken, smoke bomb, etc). She is most of the time disheartened by Black Star's loud self but she still puts up with it because that is what she likes about him. She has a very forgiving personality and always tries to help everyone even when she has no idea how to help. Tsubaki soul is "very co-operative and has a lot of space to accept people" as said by Dr. Stein. Tsubaki comes from an established family of weapons created by Arachne. She also seems to have a talent for cooking, having been complimented on a few occasions by her friends.


Death The Kid (Desu Za Kiddo)
He is Patty and Liz's meister and the Shinigami's son. He is called Kid by his friends and family. He suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is represented as a completely obsession about everything being symmetrical and takes the idea of perfection to the extremes. To him, anything symmetrical is beautiful and if it is off by any measurement (a picture frame off by millimeter, or a pose that is slightly out of place), he will try to correct it right away, even if the situation calls for utmost attention. The biggest problem Kid has with is his hair one side being completely black while the other has three white strips going across it. Showing Kid anything that is too asymmetrical or mentioning his hair will send him into a state of massive depression. In the most extreme of cases, Kid will cough up blood and faint; this is usually set off by his hair being cut, or completely failing to make something symmetrical. His favorite number is eight because of its symmetry.


Patricia "Patty" Thompson (Patorishia "Pati" Tonpuson)
She is one half of Death the Kid's Double Team. She is the younger of the two sisters, and the most naïve. Both sisters wear cowgirl (tight sleeveless shirt and cowboy hats) outfits but Patty wears puffy shorts. She mostly speaks in a sing-song voice. Also, she acts and speaks like a little kid. She says "hullo" and "sowwy", like how a child says "hello" and "sorry". She is so naïve that she thinks everything is all fun and games. She has yet to take anything seriously, though she has been shown to have a extreme temper. Unlike her sister, Patty enjoys the drama brought on by Kid's perfectionist attitude, though she does cheer him up when he gets down on himself about it.


Elizabeth "Liz" Thompson (Erizabesu "Rizu" Tonpuson)
She is the other half of Death the Kid's Double Team. She is the older of the two sisters and the most mature. Both sisters wear cowgirl outfits (tight sleeveless shirts and cowboy hats) but Liz wears long jeans. Liz is more like a teenage girl (worried about make up, shopping, etc). She is shown to be extremely afraid of ghosts, convinced that any ghost she meets is out to eat her. Kid's obsession with symmetry and how he'll sometimes let it control his life sometimes gets on her nerves.
