That wasn't obvious to me, nor am I certain it's his son. Interesting idea though.

[Kraco]

I have to say such an idea never crossed my mind.

If we assume that's the case, do you figure that's why Shinigami dropped the demon tool development - so that Kid wouldn't end up the same way?

Edit: Typo

[Buffalobiian]

Not that everybody out there is a good parent who raises good kids, but it really makes me wonder how Kishin would end up with such a feeling of insecurity. Surely being the son of the almighty Shinigami would be some insurance of safety, no?

Eibon and Shinigami also had connections, but I'm not sure where Kraco made the link that he directed a C&D at Eibon. Regardless, the current harvesting of Demon Tools seems like "continuing the development" in that sense. I've got an unexplainable feeling that it's to uproot Shinigami's soul.

[DarthEnderX]

Well, maybe that's just a side effect of being the Reaper's son.

I mean, Kid is also mentally unstable. He has crippling OCD.

Perhaps mental defect is something that just comes from being the Grim Reapers children, and Kid was lucky that his wasn't as harmful as Asura's.

[poopdeville]

Asura is Majin Buu/Voldemort, right?

Anyway, I'm sure being so close to death -- essentially being a Shinigami and a mortal human scared the crap out of him. He's clearly afraid of dying. That is, he's afraid of his father, and started eating souls to become stronger than him.

Awesome episode, mainly because of how the fight ended and a little history report to boot. I didn't realize Mifune delved that far back in time to fight against him.

As for the fansubbing, they have horrible translation and don't obviously do Quality Checking, so I wouldn't recommend them at all. You can wait for other subs for better definition, but this episode interested me on a whole new level to even whisk away the bad fansubbing.

comments @ mininova:

If you are someone who DOES NOT require quality translations in your anime, then this one should be fine for you.

HOWEVER, for those of you who DO like QUALITY subs, then be aware that this release is of poor quality. Spelling, grammar and punctuation is quite lacking. Furthermore, there are several lines missing completely, on several occasions.

[UGS], this is a half decent effort, but you guys really need to have a good grasp of the English language (yes this includes spelling, grammar and punctuation) before you guys release any titles (be they quick or not), if you really want to make a (good) name for yourselves. On the up side, they (UGS) were very quick with this release. On this note, there IS a reason why the more known "quality subs" take just a little longer for their releases.

Quality over speed: this sets apart the difference between the standards of a ten to twelve year old, and those of whom possess the intellect that know the meaning of Quality.

Thanks for the link, but since I'm leaving for work, I'll wait for tsubaki that are average, but enough most of the time

Wish i had read that before watching it -_-

Seriously Bill, please don't post the first shitty sub appears on the web, not without a warning of how crappy it is at least

The real thing:

Episode 46 - Tsubaki-Hatsuyuki

[David75]

Well well well.
We got a bit of BlackStar development, otherwise it would have been a filler.
Like Maka, BlackStar is always on razor's edge, Mifune is there to remind him and take measures should he choose the wrong path. Interresting how Mifune could in fact be sent by Shinigami to prevent the birth of a new Kishin...

[Kraco]

Based on this it looks like Black Star faked his healing from his great collapse some eps ago. He's basically no different from when he fought against Kid. I mean, Mifune might be a badass mofo, but he pushed simply back Black Star's demon blade technique with one of his mass production blades. This keeping in mind how some more eps ago Stein called Black Star the strongest attacker in the team. I'm actually very happy Black Star is still suffering from his serious case of identity crisis.

Still, it remains to be seen how this all is solved. It would suck if Maka appears there to save the day - come on, she already saved Crona, Stein, and Marie. She doesn't need to save even more people. I see as the only viable way Black Star encountering Tsubaki's other aspect in the soul world and finally realising a better answer to the question. Or a better way to give the answer; I don't know if it Black Star could be Black Star without that trademark phrase.

Good stuff on White Star in any case. Quite an asskicker, and somewhat different from the solely money hungry mercenary image we previously were given. This one was eerily like Black Star himself.

It was that bad? I didn't know. I waited for Tsubaki-Hatsuyuki .

I liked this episode, though nothing special really happened, besides revealing Black Star still hasn't come to grips with himself. Like Kraco, I'm sort of happy it turned out this way, only because nothing will convince me that Black Star's finally stronger unless we get see his answer in the Soul World, not some fight with Kid.

Other than that. I'm just happy Shinigami will be coming out, not in person like I expected, but as a Death City walker...

Hmm... So, if I got this right, Tsubaki's other half, the demon blade, was feeling sorry for all the people, who regretted getting killed by the blade (that is, got slain by Masamune, Tsubaki's brother). The blade hadn't been previously impressed by Black Star's desire to only get stronger and surpass the god, but now when Black Star announced he would remove the regrets of all those souls or their shadows lingering in the blade, he instantly won it over. It was a bit flimsy but I suppose I can live with it. It's a blade, after all, so it's fitting it's simple enough.

Another thing is how you can lift the regrets of the dead. Normally you'd think all they want is justice and revenge. That Black Star can't very well give them since the blade is now a part of Tsubaki. Though if those souls are already satisfied with Masamune's defeat, I reckon the high-spirited ones among the ghosts could be happy if Black Star turned the blade into an instrument of justice. The rest might rest more happily if Black Star gets really strong with the blade, because then they could feel like they lost to such a badass mofo opponent.

I also got the feeling Black Star could now easily deepen his relationship with Tsubaki - in many interesting ways.

Other than that, I surely share the disbelief of most of the characters when they watched Shinigami turn the town into a giant mecha... Only to have Arachne's castle turn into another one. Arachne herself was quite funnily sidestepped in all this.

[Inazuma]

The first part, with Black Star, was a disappointment, it's getting old, getting defeated then out of nowhere POWER UP. Very much like Bleach Ichigo/Zaraki first encounter.

Shinigami Sama is after everything that went on, still ultra awesome, the Mecha fight if we can call that mechas was something unexpected and good as it felt for me as a parody for gundam late shows.

[Buffalobiian]

S.S. Black Star certainly didn't end as I'd hoped. It's conclusive enough I guess, but the reason for his revival certainly wasn't convincing to me. The idea that a bigger, red Fey Blade suddenly defeats Mifune also wasn't terribly believable, but I don't feel like complaining any more.

Then again, believability certainly wasn't what this episode was about. The ridiculour scenes with Death City playing squash-the-spider had me laughing for the entire second half.

Given I've wanted to see another Kishin vs Shinigami showdown, I'll looking forward to next week. with 3-4 more episodes to go though, I wonder where they'll take this. Being a bit too early for a "final" showdown, I can't help but think Shinigami's going to lose, letting our main trio take the stage. As for how these three (or 7) will somehow succeed where Shinigami failed though.....

[poopdeville]

Maka has the Demon Slaying blade or whatever.

[Nadouku]

First time I've seen Black Star tear up, but sadly, Mifune got defeated. At least, he's given the chance to teach at Shibusen and start anew. The rest after the Black Star climax was hilarious, especially when Death City fought Baba Yaga's Castle. Mildly entertaining episode.
