Soul Eater - Speculation & Theories (for first time viewers)

[NoSanninWa]

This thread is aimed at first time viewers of Soul Eater and its purpose is to allow spoiler free speculation and theories to be aired. Having them in a central location may help focus the discussion instead of spreading speculation over the various episode discussion threads. If you are knowledgeable of the manga and wish to speculate or discuss theories, then please do not post in this thread (use the Spoilers & Speculation (for manga readers only) thread ) and do not give away any spoilers in this thread!

Unacceptable post topics:

• Any form of spoiler from Soul Eater manga.
• Any form of spoiler from other media.

Spoiler Policy

• Any spoiler that reveals future events, even under a spoiler tag, will be deleted.
  Spoiler tags may still be used where appropriate.
• Adding a Spoiler tag:
  

  Just highlight your spoiler and click the button found on the "Quick Reply" and "Reply to Thread" forms. Make sure that you include a title that clearly identifies the specific source of the spoiler!

• Please use the Report button if you see any spoilers:
  

  Click the button found to the left of the post, just under the poster's avatar. Using the Report button is anonymous and helps the Moderators locate and deal with problems quickly.

• Posting prohibited spoilers may result in a ban.
  Note: Reporting a post does not mean the poster will be banned instantly, so you shouldn't feel bad about it. The moderators prefer not to use bans unless warnings are repeatedly ignored. Permanent bans only follow for habitual recidivists.

Magazine previews are an exception to the said rule. You are allowed to discuss those. (Properly labeled spoiler tags required).

H'okies.... I'm basically spoiler free, having only read the first few chapters of the manga and the first 3 eps of the series.

Not much in the way of speculation or theories --- obviously we've got a team about to form. Just watching the characters interact should be a hoot.

In the first and third episodes, Shinigami confiscates the souls that Maka, Soul, Kidd, Liz, and Patty collected in their respective episodes. What do you suppose he does with those souls? I would think that he has them be reincarnated as humans, but who knows.

Spoiler for Maka & Soul-Insanity and Black Blood:

This is probably looking into this a little too early in the show/series, but I have a feeling that Asura may have gone through a similar situation as Maka & Soul. The reason he became the way he was was because of one simple goal that he might have shared with his weapon-the need to be stronger in order to protect one another.

However the more obsessed they became in obtaining power, the more they lost to it, and ultimately swallowed the other one up. Of course we've got a long way to go before we can figure out what went wrong for Asura, but somehow I feel like this might be a possible reasoning.
