HistorySoul comes from an extremely rich family of Musicians. He led quite a boring life, however one day while playing the piano he was approached by Maka Albarn who had previously witnessed his ability to turn into a scythe. She asked him to become her partner and weapon as her dream was to make a death scythe for Shinigami-sama; emphasis on the word scythe, and as such had denied every possible weapon put in front of her at Shibusen. Soul accepted the agreement with the words "sure, sounds cool". From that point on the two worked together gathering kishin eggs till the beginning of the story.
AbilitiesLike most weapons, he can change a part of his body into his weapon form; in his case, he can transform his entire arm into the blade of a scythe. Despite having the ability to perform a partial transformation, Soul's use and threat to the enemy is greatly reduced in the absence of his partner.
Soul has been shown to take advantage of Maka's Soul perception and anti-demon wavelength. This is exemplified when he used Maka's anti-demon wavelength and spread it across Arachne's web, purging the affected ones of Arachne's insanity.
Soul is possessed by the little demon, which was born when he was infected with the Black Blood. Once the Black Blood is activated, Soul can allow it to invade the blood stream of those performing soul resonance with him. The Black Blood gives soul and his infected partner immense strength, at the cost of Soul, and possibly his partner, plunging into madness.
Deep inside Soul's mind lies a piano in a room. Soul can play this piano to create a resonance link. The resonance link allows all those who are affected unprecedented coordination and power.
Death Scythe AbilitiesForm Manipulation: This allows Soul and Maka to change the appearance Soul's weapon form takes. To what extent is not yet know but they have been seen to "shrink" the blade that's present on the scythe.
Flight: This allows Maka and Soul to create wings appear in their own image, enabling them to fly.
RelationshipsPartnerMaka : Being Soul´s meister or technician, their wavelengths are equally matched. While they might bicker at times, they are willing to stand up for one another, no matter the danger. Maka may have feelings for Soul due the fact she became extremely depressed when Soul was injured while trying to protect her, and get very upset when Blair flirts with him.
[edit] FamilyWes Evans: Soul's older brother, who was introduced through one of his flashbacks in the recent chapter of the manga. Wes seems to show a bit of interest in Soul's weapon abilities. Soul seems to hold a high respect for Wes as he often remarks that Wes's musical abilities are far above his own. That said, Wes is(was) also known as being a talented violinist. So far he hasn't made any appearances in the anime.
Granny: In a flashback of Soul, Wes Evans Mentioned their grandmother, a musician too, that surprised that a weapon blood was running in Soul veins
ShibusenBlack Star: Black Star and Soul have a close friendship with each other as Soul is willing to even let Black Star wield him. Though their wavelengths did not match they still remain friends and are willing to fight alongside each other along with their partners.
Death the Kid: Soul and Death the Kid respect each other for their abilities but, their isn't that direct interaction between the two characters so while they may not be close friends they are allies that work together.
OtherBlair: Despite Blair being the sole reason why Maka and Soul have to restart the quest to create a Death Scythe, he has allowed Blair to live with him and Maka. He doesn't seems to appreciate Blair's presence in the house, because Blair tends to use wear little or even no clothes. Causing him to either pass out from a nose bleed or to be attack by Maka still resulting in him being knocked out.
Crona and Ragnarök: The only real interaction Soul shows with this pair is that he acknowledges that he and Crona have the same fear of getting close to people. Other then that it is unkown just how close he is to these two but, considering Soul's unwillingness to open up about himself he may wish to help Maka in any way to save these to souls.
Little Ogre : After being exposed to Ragnarok's black blood, the Little Ogre made his appearance inside of Soul's mind. He often appears when Soul and Maka are in dire need of help, tempting them to use the Black Blood inside. His goal is most likely to take control of both Soul and Maka by plunging them into "madness", leaving only him. In the anime, he makes his last appearance after Soul accepts the Little Ogre is a part of himself and eats him whole.
Part in the StoryPrologueThe story began with Soul and Maka capturing their 99th Kishin egg from "Jack the Ripper", where they were then ordered by Shinigami to collect a witch's soul which would then make Soul a full blown death scythe. This resulted in his first encounters with Blair in the bath tub, shortly followed by the traditional nose bleed from Soul even though he claimed "As a cool guy I'm used to seeing women naked." However from his reaction it was kinda obvious he wasn't. He and Maka then attempted to take Blair's soul, however they did not even lay a finger on her as she had already prepped her "Halloween Cannon" Which shortly sent them flying. Their next attempt did not fair much better, nor the one after that. However on the fourth Soul decided to pull the old fake switch and pretended to be on Blair's side... right up until the point he turned his right arm into the blade of his scythe. He and Maka then killed Blair shortly before Soul devoured Blair's witch soul only to find out it was one of her nine cat souls, meaning he'd just lost the 99 Kishin eggs he and Maka had collected.
Supplementary LessonsAfter Soul and Maka meet up with Black Star and Tsubaki, they learn that a Shibusen teacher has been missing and rumors have gone around that he might be a zombie attacking students. Maka is frightened by Soul Eater's retelling of the stories but tries to write them off as meaningless rumors. Because of their joint remedial lessons, the foursome goes to a graveyard to hunt the zombie and learn who made it. After they reach the graveyard, they encounter the now undead Sid and a battle soon ensues between the students and teacher. This fight is the first time in which Maka uses her Witch Hunter attack, resulting in a near-death experience for Black Star after she missteps and incorrectly aims. Ultimately, the four are able to narrowly capture Sid, who then reveals that Dr. Stein was the reason behind his current condition.
The four then proceed to Stein's lab to encounter and deal with the source of the problem. After a rather bemusing introduction, it is concluded that the only way to resolve the issues is to defeat Stein. It is only when the fight begins that Stein reveals just why he earned his reputation as a strong fighter, by easily taking on the team single handed. Maka rightfully begins to fear Stein and this is only furthered when she observes his far stronger soul. It appears that she is frozen by her fear but after some reassuring words from Soul, the two attack again and successfully connect with Witch Hunter. Unfortunately Stein is still able to over power the attack but when the two seem to be doomed Stein reveals that the lesson is now ended. From this point onwards Stein becomes Maka's teacher.
Demon Sword Ragnarok
Soul takes the blow for MakaOn a mission to Italy, Maka detects an unusual soul reaction within a church and decides to investigate, believing it to be another meister and weapon. The two do encounter a person and weapon but it is revealed they killed all the people present, they then proceed to attack Maka and Soul. Maka and Soul put up a good fight but are overpowered due to the abilities of Crona's Black Blood. Just when it looks like Soul is about to be finished while protecting Maka, Stein and Spirit appear and begin to fight. Eventually they are successful and but the sudden appearance of a witch, Medusa, allows Crona to escape. Unbeknown to everyone, Soul's bloodstream is invaded by black blood during the fight against Crona and Ragnarok.
ExperimentMaka decides that, due to their previous encounter, both she and Soul should undergo special training with Stein to become stronger but the two end up arguing between themselves. This has the effect of de-synchronizing the bond between them.
The next mission takes Maka and Soul to London, where they, along with Black Star and Tsubaki encounter Free. A battle between Free and the group begins on Tower Bridge. Due to the uneasiness present between Soul and his partner, Maka, she is unable to wield him, as she would suffer burns. and instead fights using Tsubaki. When this proves to be ineffective she makes the decision to use Soul and become stronger even if it hurts her in the process. The two resolve their issues by listening to and understanding each others opinions, allowing them to fight at full strength. After using Soul Resonance to attack with Witch Hunter and achieve some damage. This soul resonance, however, galvanized the black blood into spreading into Maka's bloodstream. Following this attack, Maka tackles Free and pushes him off the bridge in order to defeat him and, before she can fall to her doom, Soul makes it in time to save her.
The Eve's Fight to The Death[edit] The ClownMaka and Soul head towards a factory located in Russia, after they excepted an extracurricular lesson to solve an incident taking place there, which required pairs with Soul Perception.
After being abandoned by Death the Kid, who decided to search for a 'suitable' entrance to the factory but found himself unable to enter due to being crippled by his O.C.D. compulsions, Maka, Soul, and Blair are forced to search the building alone. During their search, they are ambushed by the Flying Dutchman but Blair is able to save the group and proceeds to follow him as he makes his escape. It is at this point that the Clown is first mentioned, being stated as "the one who will give the people their freedom". The Clown then decides to make it's entrance, even after receiving advice not to attack as it couldn't capture Maka so easily, introducing itself anyway.
Maka begins to sense the similarity between the Clown's own soul and that of Asura's, but how this one was small yet absorbing and sucking in everything. Before she can deduce anymore, the Clown attacks and a large battle ensues. Eventually the Clown's soul begins to effect Maka and she is sucked into it's insanity, any efforts to save her are blocked as pipes surround the pair. Maka is forced to see visions of the deaths of her friends and family, in an attempt to drag her deeper into the insanity. Due to the influence of Soul's wavelength, Maka's courage allows her to break free of the illusions.
This new found courage causes her abilities to evolve and now being faced with Majin Hunt, even at full strength, the Clown's abilities are no match. It is eventually defeated but before it's soul can be consumed, it disappears in a shower of ribbons.
Formation
Soul in his Death Scythe FormSoul finally obtains his 99 Kishin eggs and one witch soul, and will now become Shibusen's newest Death scythe.
I'm gonna be an Angel
After becoming a Death scythe, Maka and Soul begin to understand what exactly that means. They are seen outside with Marie, and Kim flying. Maka suggests that because Soul is a Death Scythe now, that he should be able to fly with ease. Marie objects telling them that becoming a Death Scythe isn't something so simple. She continues, the advance wavelength control that a Death Scythe obtains from a witch's soul can grant magical abilities. If she can use the Grigori form her soul takes and imply it with all of that, they may be able to manifest wings. In beginning the training, Soul transforms into a Scythe. He has a slightly different from now, more so where they "eye" is located. They are then told their souls must be synchronized in order to complete the task. They must both focus on the same image, what was chosen was Kim flying. While doing this, the scythe blade on Soul shrank. Marie explains that form manipulation is basic for a Death Scythe and that they must have decided that it wasn't necessary. After, both Maka and Soul create wings at the end of Soul's head(scythe). Soul, upon being told to imagine Maka as an angel, instead thinks of the somewhat negative things she's done. Maka then starts spinning upside down in circles until they both fall. They argue about who's fault it is. Maka then rants about how she wanted angel wings instead of the spiky ones that appeared. They argue again which leads to Maka saying she wished she was partnered with Ox. Soul doesn't understand this as Ox is a meister. They are then later called by Spirit to discuss something.
