Soul Eater 30

Team Kid is sent out to the desert to hunt down the Berserk Express, a runaway train that’s been choo chooing around without any tracks for 100 years. The BE’s power comes from the Demonic Tool that’s built into the engine, and Kid has been sent out to recover it and keep it from the hands of Arachne. They manage to get to the station station without too much issue (except for Patty’s seemingly out of character complaining about the heat), but thing start getting tricky once the train comes by. The midget that was waiting at the station turns out to be Mizune, and some weird guy called the Fisher King makes it onto the train first and proclaims to steal the Demonic tool for Arachne. I assume that Mizune is there to steal it for Medusa, but she doesn’t do that much except fly around aimlessly and drop bombs once in a while as Kid air-boards himself onto the train and takes care of FK rather easily.

Gasping for his last breath, FK makes a bold claim that the creator of the demonic tool, known as Eibon, also happens to be Shinigami-sama! Kid opens up the Demonic Tool and finds the familiar “Death” signature inside next to Eibon, and before FK could say anymore, Sid headshots FK. With his reinforcements, Sid tells Kid and company to go back to Shibusen, but Kid continues to wonder about Eibon and the connection to his father, so like any good student, he goes to the library to do some research, and pulls out his uber library card for level 4 access! Unfortunately, the level 4 book on Eibon is checked out by a mysterious person who initialed the checkout sheet with the letter “M”. Hmm…I wonder who that could be.

Man…I guess there must be more to Shinigami-sama behind that mask of his. Although this episode wasn’t overly exciting, it has me curious about what’s really going on here and what secrets we have yet to learn about Shinigami-sama. Guess we shall see…
