Spoiler for ep:

Well... that was pretty intense. I'm definitely thinking that Shinigami isn't dead; since we know from Ashura's first fight that Shinigami can lose half of his head and be fine... and we haven't seen his true form yet, so anything is possible.

I entirely agree with Clarste that Arachne didn't know what she was doing, so her death wasn't too surprising.

Next week looks weird. I think Giriko vs Justin will finally conclude, and hopefully Maka & co won't have much luck taking down Ashura (setting the stage for a surprise Shinigami comeback!!)
