List of Soul Eater characters

DWMA is run by Shinigami, also known as Death, or the Grim Reaper, as a training facility for weapons and meisters to hone their powers, as well as an organization to preserve world order against anyone who threatens it, including witches, monsters and kishin, which are essentially humans who become monstrous creatures by devouring the souls of innocent people.

The spin-off prequel manga titled Soul Eater Not!, also created by Ohkubo, follows the everyday lives of three other DWMA students—halberd Tsugumi Harudori and her two meister friends, Meme Tatane and Anya Hepburn.

72] His status as a shinigami grants him formidable godlike powers such as invincibility to a point, but he suffers from asymmetriphobia and a crippling obsessive-compulsive disorder for symmetry in everyday life, stemming from his father's "madness of order".[ch.

0c] This mindset results in him becoming the meister of the Thompson sisters after seeing their matching weapon forms as a means to preserve his personal symmetry, but unable to fight using one of them while the other is missing.[ch.

Liz is a cynical but mature, smart and resourceful young woman who always finds Kid's perfectionist attitude annoying, but is deathly afraid of ghosts and anything she labels as "creepy".

Eventually, to quell his constant fear, Asura swallows his own weapon Vajra (ヴァジュラ, Vajura) whole in order to devour human souls until he transforms into a godlike being.

22] Though his intensified madness wavelength greatly influences the manga's plot, Asura remains largely absent until he is discovered by Maka to be hiding on the cartoonish moon in Earth's atmosphere.[ch.

In the anime adaptation, Asura's whereabouts after his escape from Death City have him being found in a Tibetan mountain range by Arachne, who aims to spread his madness wavelength across the world.ep.

51 Medusa (メデューサ, Medyūsa) is the first major villainess introduced in the story and the middle of the three Gorgon sisters, a snake-themed witch who contains over a thousand snake familiars inside her body that she can use in her Vector Arrow spell.[ch.

17] Medusa is a scientist who developed black blood, a substance that enhances madness within people, and aims to use it as part of her experiment to enable the world to evolve and no longer be stagnated by the DWMA's actions.[ch.

4] Prior to the start of the story, Medusa infiltrates the DWMA under the guise of a school nurse to find Asura's location, amassing an entourage to help her revive the kishin with black blood.[ch.

She commands minions called "Traitors" (道場破り, Toreta), brainwashed individuals with superhuman strength who enter Death City for the sole purpose of challenging members of the DWMA, to gather intelligence on the organization as part of her agenda.

Crona (クロナ, Kurona) is Medusa's child and the wielder of Ragnarok (ラグナロク, Ragunaroku), a weapon also known as the Demon Sword (魔剣, Maken), which takes the form of a black longsword.

[6] To reflect the creator's stated intent of keeping the gender of the character unknown, the Square Enix translation of the manga uses gender-neutral language and pronouns when referring to Crona.

In the anime adaptation, after carrying out Medusa's orders to drive Franken Stein insane, Crona tries to run away from DWMA out of guilt, but is stopped by Maka and persuaded into admitting the betrayal.ep.

39 Crona is expelled and imprisoned within the school as punishment but, with Shinigami's blessing, is allowed to help rescue Stein from Medusa, who had formed a truce with DWMA that forbids anyone from the organization to harm her.

66] A trio of clowns – Kaguya (加具夜), White Rabbit (白兎, Shiro Usagi), and Moonlight (月光, Gekkō) – manifest on the moon's surface as a line of defense for Asura.

63] The first Noah introduced—who represents the sin greed—aims to collect everything in the world, from artifacts to living things, and store them inside the dimension within the book, going as far as defying his creator's orders to satisfy his desires, which result from his specified duties of "having Greed" and "obtaining Brew"[ch. 82].

The prequel series Fire Force reveals Shinigami‘s true name as God (神, Kami) and was created by Shinra Kusukabe as a tangible deity for humanity to interact with after rebooting the previous world.

23] Medusa takes advantage of this by forcing Crona to secretly place a magic snake inside a cup of tea that she drinks, causing her to unknowingly worsen Stein's madness.[ch.

She is very analytical in battle, using a clairvoyant ability that allows her to synchronize with another person and see through their eyes, form maps of areas, calculate distances, and copy visual data at extreme speeds.[ch.

87] Dengu Dinga (デング・ディンガ) and Jinn Galland (ジン・ガラン, Jin Garan) are the death scythes with jurisdiction over Western Asia and Africa, respectively, introduced in the story as participants in the battle against Asura and his minions.[ch.

45 Sid Barrett (死人・バレット, Shido Baretto) is a DWMA teacher and meister who is fatally stabbed in the head with a miniature Statue of Liberty and revived as a zombie by Franken Stein at the beginning of the story as part of a remedial lesson for Maka, Soul, Black Star, and Tsubaki.[ch.

39,62] In the anime, Joe is a member of DWMA's research and development division, again from Oceania, who is summoned to build a machine out of the demon tools created by Eibon that allows Shinigami to transform all of Death City into a giant mecha and capture Asura.ep.

His weapon partner is Harvar D. Éclair (ハーバー・ド・エクレール, Hābā Do Ekurēru), who wears a red visor and takes the form of a spear with a head shaped like a lightning bolt, allowing him to conjure electricity.

In the anime, he is good friends with Black Star, who often gets Kilik to partner with him during his fights, and is mentioned to be one of the top three fighters at the school in terms of raw power by Hero.

Akane and Clay appear in the main storyline as members of DWMA's personal Central Intelligence Agency, and participate in the battle on the moon to help defeat Asura and his minions.[ch.

72] Joined by Vajra and two unknown figures, the Great Old Ones formed the Eight Grim Reaper Legions (死神八武衆, Shinigami Hachi Bushū, translated as "Death's Eight Guardians" in the Funimation dub) to maintain order in the world before the construction of DWMA 800 years prior to the start of the series.[ch.

Though he can automatically resonate his soul with anyone, giving them various god-like powers like flight and ripping holes in time and space, Excalibur is extremely obnoxious and egotistical to the point of alienating potential meisters within minutes in various ways such as calling them "fools" to cut them off during a discussion.ep.

The being puts Black Star and Death the Kid through its test by having them battle each other, deeming their generation ideal successors when they reach a mutual conclusion of what kind of world to create without causing misery through power.[ch.
