Whoop ASS WINGS OF DOOM!!!! All I have to say is that I love this manga, more than anything else in the manga universe. There is no chapter that I dislike and Ohkubo always has us scream, OHKUBO! Sure, I still love my Bleach and Naruto weekly chapter, but every now and then I get a few chapters that make me want to ask the mangaka, why? Why do you bore me with such chapter this week? However, the differences between those mangas and Soul Eater Manga is that two are weekly and Soul Eater is monthly. I guess I appreciate Soul Eater more because it is a monthly release.
Anyways, enough of my rambling, lets get this chapter recap and review over with, shall we?
First part of the chapter starts off with Maka facing Gopher with her new Angel of Badass wings. Here, they were able to dodge most of Gopher's attacks easily, making Gopher frustrated. His frustration is shown by showing vulgar facial expressions that would make anybody laugh, yet would make a baby or toddler cry from the scary vibe Gopher was giving. Plus, shouting Noah-sama's name several times sure makes him Noah's prize collectable.
Well, for a while now, Maka is doing some aerial attacks, where she switches from wings, to scythe, wings to witchunter, wings to demon hunter. It just shows you how strong Soul is now since he became death scythe.
As they're attacking Gopher, he makes these distorted faces of rage, far too abnormal for any antagonist. Also, he cries out to his master and ramble on about wanting to be collected in Noah-sama's book.
Then, Gopher puts all his rage against Maka into his next attack, which is another shirt ripping attack. This time, the attack is slower and much more accurate of hitting his target. When he despises someone, he puts all his angry feelings about that person and unleashes it with this attack. This attack follows the victim, whom Gopher hates, and follows them forever until it hits them. In this case, Maka.
Maka, oh Maka. So brave, yet so fragile. She stops flying and decided to destroy Gopher's heartbomb with Demon Hunter. Instantly, she broke the beam of light in half, making a broken heart. Next panel, Gopher makes his signature face; the bottom lip above the upper lip. With that, he has a broken heart in a bubble. After that, Maka swings it down further and gets Gopher, where he crashes against a rock formation.
Gopher decided to retreat, knowing that he would get yelled at by Noah-sama. Maka let him go, because Gopher wasn't in Shinigami's list. That ends Maka and Soul encounter in this chapter.
Second part of the chapter, Gopher kneels before Noah, apologizing about not fulfilling his mission as successful. Noah doesn't care, but he cared that Gopher was shouting his name to their enemies. Gopher apologizes again, but Noah makes the scare, yet cool, face. Telling him creatures like him do not have any sort of emotion or shall receive any. Referring to himself as the person who will not show any emotion to his tool.
After that, Gopher shouts out profanities and marches into a dungeon where Kiddo is being held captive. Kiddo smiles at Gopher's stupid expression, getting the idea that he was easily defeated by Maka. Then, He gets a kick in the gut, letting out all his anger into Kiddo. But, it doesn't seem like Kiddo is too effected by it now.
Sadly, the chapter ends off with Medusa and Crona. Medusa telling Crona to get going and finally ends it with Crona screaming at the top of her lungs.
This Chapter was great! Maka kicked ass, Gopher made me laugh, Soul was still sexy as ever, Kiddo was still tied up and looking sexy as ever. Disappointments? No Black Star, but maybe next months chapter will make up for it.
Gopher's facial expression were priceless to boot! I could never get enough of that kindergarten level of jealously. I'm so use to that face when I watch my little cousins get jealous of another and to see this distorted face in my beloved manga is fucking hilarious.
It's given that Gopher is jealous of Kid, because he was collected by Noah and is being held as his most treasured collectable. Explains beating Kid up to a bloody pulp. Plus, wanting Noah to express his motherly love to him by collecting him in his book is what he dearly wants. It said Gopher's body was created by Noah. Gopher's cry of need of some motherly love is far too readable in his absurd, nonetheless funny facial expressions.
My prediction for the next chapter is that this time is Black Star's turn to fight Crona. Putting the order of battles Ohkubo had towards the beginning of the series till now and which meister has fought Crona so far, it looks like Black Star is next and chapter 65 gave the clue that next months chapter will start or at least have Crona being the main point of it.
Till Next Month
