re: Soul Eater 53
IN GENERAL, THIS CHAPTER WAS VERY BADASS. And I need a translation now since I could only pick up on bits of it, but. Well. This was special.
KID: [after having his left arm cut off] That's right ... my arms aren't symmetrical right now, are they ...
... thnx ohkubo. THE BEST PART IS THAT IT'S JUST AN OFFHANDED COMMENT and not actual freaking out, but Kid, I. What. And then the chapter gets all srs bznss and ahhhh better scans + translation (mangahelpers my heroooo) soon please, I know you can do it, fandom!
eta: KID: [after one of the lines on his hair extends all the way around] In any other situation, I would be obsessing over it about now.
FUCK YES, I LOVE HIM.
eta #2: o right, but more importantly, we actually got a bit more on shinigami in this chapter. Mosquito talked about the "Lines of Sanzu" (Suns? The translator thinks it refers to the Sanzu river, and this does seem pretty accurate particularly given the outright reference to it later in the chapter, so I'll roll with Sanzu for now), which seems to be related somehow to how far along a shinigami is. Mosquito notes that Kid's still a child, particularly since the Lines are incomplete! SEE GUYS. ASURA ISN'T MY MOM.
... I really need to update that terminology post.
