Spoiler for Epi-sode:

Mediocre Black*Star vs Mifune conclusion aside, this was an absolutely awesome episode. It was highly absurd, but it goes along perfectly with the fact that Soul Eater isn't a super-serious shonen to begin with.

I have no idea what's going to happen to Maka, Black*Star, Arachne, Mosquito, Giriko and virtually everyone else who isn't Shinigami or Ashura; unless Shinigami loses (and he shouldn't, since he's got Spirit with him now) everyone else is somewhat inconsequential.

I'm just going to predict that Kishin has some super-ultimate transformation that will require everyone to work together to take him down... since that's all I can think of.
