From where we left off, Black Star and Maka made it past Medusa to run into Chrona, and although Stein had ordered BS to handle Chrona, Maka tells BS to beat it since she wants to dish out some payback against Chrona for injuring Soul Eater. BS obliges and runs off to catch up with Kid. Up till this point, we’ve watched Maka as a pretty modest character, but she does some serious trash talking to try and throw Chrona off her game. Unfortunately, she probably picked a wrong place to talk as Chrona brushes off most of Maka’s attacks (except for a few early knuckle sandwiches) and whips Maka into the ground with relative ease.
Things looked pretty grim for Maka and Soul Eater as Chrona goes in for the kill, but we get transported into Soul Eater’s mind where Soul Eater had been dealing with the strange large-handed devil that has promised him ultimate power. Since Maka and Soul Eater were still in resonance, Maka even makes an appearance in Soul Eater’s mind, and the two decide to make a pact with the mysterious Devil to extract the power of the black blood as long as Soul Eater was in control, just in time for Maka to fend off Chrona’s attack and send her flying into the pillar walls. Maka, now in wide-smilie mode, looks to capitalize on that attack while Soul Eater struggles to keep Maka under control.
Although this episode wasn’t quite as action packed as I would have expected, we do learn an important piece of back story, which is that Chrona is Medusa’s daughter (and yes, I am now convinced that Chrona is a girl) and that Medusa has put Chrona through a really harsh life trying to toughen her up in her own way by locking her in a dark room and having Ragnarok beat on her head until it drives Chrona to the edge to do pretty much whatever Medusa wants. Apparently the secret the black blood’s power is to get that uber smilie on your face.

I was quite surprised when I found out Chrona was a girl, since I think I remember her blushing when she spoke to Maka because it was ‘the first time she spoke to a girl’. :P I might be mixing things up, though.
Maka’s uber smilie is kinda cool.
21episode was awesome!
The fight scenes weren’t so much of a disappointment. I really liked how Maka kept pushing Chrona, until both of them brought out the animals inside of them! I thought the Imp segments were very cool too! Theres just something about that Imp’s voice that gets me aroused!
*swing swing swing*
I feel sorry for Chrona, and love her even more!
She really does need a hug! I sort of hate the feeling that my brother (in RL) knew Chrona was Medusa’s daughter! Its like, I’m the only one going “OMGWTFBBQ!!!” Now that I take a closer look, they do seem to have a somewhat similar hair style. I wonder whos the father? =3
makas face is sometimes so ugly…i know its on purpose and thats my opinion
blackstar rocks - shouuld be main chara
I prefer Maka personally, plus Black Star being the main character would be too cliche.
Really though I don’t see this series as having a single main character, a lot of characters share the role.
