Plot - I wouldn't describe the plot as being either typical or particularly inventive. And shortly after that when the frankly ingenious support characters were introduced and fleshed out, I was manic about it to the point where I was screaming in outrage at the screen if any other character DARED to so much as harm a hair on their heads. Swiftly afterwards, once the main characters start to interact together, I was hooked. These episodes are ones that I found to be somewhat disjointed, and to be honest I probably would have given up on the anime after 4 episodes or so if it wasn't for aforementioned pally. The first few episodes start off as prequels for the main seven characters - three 'Meisters/Technicians' and their 'Weapons'. Let me tell you, this does not make for hard watching. My university pally and I blasted through all 51 episodes in about a week, if you don't count the days that we were too
Set in the fantastical Death City, Soul Eater focuses on the Shibusen Academy, where students both work together and compete in order to turn their partners - boys and girls that can turn into various different weapons - into world-class Death Scythes. I've never read the manga, so this is based solely on the anime. Here we have Soul Eater, a shounen anime produced by Bones (Wolf's Rain, Full Metal Alchemist, Ouran High School Host Club) that came out in 2008. Soul Eater follows these students of Shibusen as they take on missions to collect souls and protect the city from the world's threats while working together under the snickering sun to become sounder in mind, body, and soul. The contrasting duo work and study alongside the hot headed Black☆Star and his caring weapon Tsubaki, as well as the Shinigami's own son, Death the Kid, an obsessive-compulsive dual wielder of twin pistols Patty and Liz. Soul Eater Evans, a Demon Scythe who only seems to care about what's cool, aims to become a Death Scythe with the help of his straight-laced wielder, or meister, Maka Albarn. These Death Scythes, however, are not made from physical weapons rather, they are born from human hybrids who have the ability to transform their bodies into Demon Weapons, and only after they have consumed the souls of 99 evil beings and one witch's soul. Its mission: to raise "Death Scythes" for the Shinigami to wield against the many evils of their fantastical world. Team Minato did not canonically have knowledge of this technique until their mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge.Death City is home to the famous Death Weapon Meister Academy, a technical academy headed by the Shinigami-Lord Death himself. An inconsistency occurs when Kakashi utilises his Chidori within the flashback.In the real world, Guy arrives in the nick of time, saving Kakashi from Madara's attack.

Another group was charged with delivering the scroll to ensure it wouldn't be stolen by enemy ninja. However, it is discovered that their team was sent as a decoy and that both scrolls were fake. Team Minato returns the scroll and completes the mission. Obito sends a signal to Minato and tells him of Kakashi's actions, who arrives just in time to save Kakashi and defeats the entire group. He goes after the group and attacks them.
Kakashi leaves, claiming that completing the mission is his nindō. In the midst of the struggle, one of the pursuers grabs the scroll and they retreat. The escortee is found by enemy shinobi and is attacked however, Obito and Kakashi arrive in time to save him. Obito immediately leaves to save the escortee and the others reluctantly follow. It is discovered that the scroll was a fake and the other escortee that fell had the other scroll. The last escortee asks Minato to ensure that the scroll is real, as two of them were given scrolls. " You'll Be My Backup" ( お前はバックアップだ, Omae wa Bakkuappu da) is episode 417 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.Īfter being attacked by the two traitorous escortees, Minato and Obito arrive to back up Rin and Kakashi, but one of the two traitors escapes.
