Expect lots of [[World of Badass|Badass Tropes]].

 

 

=== Spirit Albarn ===

[[File:62588.jpg|frame]]

 

 

He is the Shinigami's current weapon and Maka's estranged but affectionate father. Maka's mother was his former meister, but she divorced him due to his constant flirting with other women.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Is daft and flirtatious, but is also the Shinigami's Weapon and his ability is demonstrated, if only on a couple of occasions. Marie mentions his expertise in soul wavelength control in the same sentence she points out his womanising.

* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]: Wears a tie the shape of a cross, had a similar design on his clothing as a child, which match his black, occasionally cross-shaped Weapon form.

* [[Doting Parent]]: He is a doting father who really tries his very best for Maka. Unfortunately, while a doting father, he is a ''[[Handsome Lech|terrible]]'' [[Handsome Lech|husband]].

** {{spoiler|Not anymore.}}

* [[Handsome Lech]]

* [[Morality Chain]]: To Stein, especially when they were students.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: He and Shinigami annoy one another quite frequently, but he ''does'' seem to care about his meister (e.g the Sanzu Lines business) and his role as Death Scythe. His friendship with Stein is also odd, but for other less-pleasant reasons.

* [[Overprotective Dad]]

* [[Redheaded Hero]]

* [[Sinister Scythe]]

* [[Talking Weapon]]

 

=== Justin Law ===

[[File:43720.jpg|frame]]

 

 

The Death Scythe in charge of Europe. His weapon form, the guillotine, fits his title of "executioner". He's usually seen wearing priestly garb and a pair of headphones that he keeps on at high volume. {{spoiler|In the manga he turns out to have been a spy for Noah and the Kishin, much to the shock of his former colleagues.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Blond Guys Are Evil]]}}: {{spoiler|And so is Justin.}}

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Church Militant]]

* {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]: Has effectively become one for Kishin Asura}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Scars Are Forever]]}}: {{spoiler|The scar he got when Tezca Tlipoca burned off half his face has stayed the same since it happened. Not particularly notable since that sounds reasonable, except for the fact that his ''eye has apparently been on fire since it happened.''}}

* {{spoiler|[[Slasher Smile]]}}: {{spoiler|He's relatively low-key until Chapter 69, when he starts busting out grins that threaten to split his head in half.}}

* [[Talking Weapon]]

 

=== Marie Mjolnir ===

[[File:32632.jpg|frame]]

 

 

The Death Scythe in charge of Oceania. Her weapon form is that of a large hammer, and her last name is derived from the legendary hammer of [[Norse Mythology|Thor]], Mjolnir. She wears an eyepatch with a thunderbolt insignia.

* [[Christmas Cake]]: She's so desperate for commitment that at one point she tried to marry a toilet.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Again, ''tried to marry a toilet''.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: With Stein, against {{spoiler|Justin Law}}.

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Drop the Hammer]]: In the anime, Marie attacks as a hammer. But wielded by Stein, her weapon form becomes a tonfa.

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]

* [[Morality Chain]]: Chosen specifically to be Stein's weapon when fighting the Kishin for her healing wavelength.

* [[No Sense of Direction]]: She's a Shibusen alumnus and it takes hours of trial and error for her to get anywhere.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Stein.

* [[Talking Weapon]]

* [[Team Mom]]

[[File:32634.jpg|frame]]

 

 

The Death Scythe in charge of East Asia. She is bookish and analytical and is close friends with Marie. In weapon form she takes the form of a crossbow, able to fire high pressure spirit shots up to 10 km accurately. She is also an extremely competent information gatherer and tactician, easily finding one of Arachnophobia's labs.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: It's supposed to be a pun on the azusayumi, a type of Japanese bow (as in bow and arrow).

* [[Meganekko]]

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]

* [[Psychic Powers]]: She uses clairvoyance to scout enemy territories remotely.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Snaps between this and his competent [[Badass]] persona in the blink of an eye. For example, {{spoiler|after faking his death, he disguises himself by putting on a giant ''gopher'' head}}.

* [[Cool Mask]]: That is one freaky bear head.

* {{spoiler|[[Faking the Dead]]}}: {{spoiler|Thought to have been unceremoniously bitten in half, but turns out he used a dummy to fake his death and track Justin Law. Justin Law later decapitated him and checked the body to make sure - the body was real, but Tezca's soul survived..}}

* [[The Fighting Narcissist]]: One of his stated motivations is to create a perfect copy of himself because he thinks he's very good-looking under the mask, but can't reflect himself.

* {{spoiler|[[Implacable Man]]: First he's seemingly killed by Noah, then he really dies fighting Justin, and now he's appearing in mirrors as some kind of twisted ghost thing. His dialog during this last time seems to imply that he could just come back to life if he found a new body, and may have done so before.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Averted twice, though his physical body has been destroyed.}}

* [[Mask of Power]]: Subverted; not only does the mask not seem to serve any purpose, but it also makes it impossible for lip-reader Justin Law to understand him. Since they were apparently old friends, this means Justin hung around him for ''years'' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|without catching a single word he said]].

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Tezcatlipoca" is the name of an Aztec god associated with mirrors. It literally means "Smoking Mirror" and the way it's separated, gives him his first name as "Mirror" in nahuatl.

* {{spoiler|[[Not Quite Dead]]: Justin destroyed his body, but not his soul.}}

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: He doesn't seem too quick on the uptake and constantly jokes around during combat, but gets serious in a big hurry.

* [[Scarily Competent Tracker]]: This seems to be his area of expertise, as we've seen him acting as an independent tracker several times now.

* [[Shapeshifter Guilt Trip]]: Possibly. {{spoiler|Justin and Medusa}} both see people they've wronged in the past while looking at him at least.

 

=== {{spoiler|Soul Eater Evans}} ===

 

=== Tsar Pushka ===

* [[Gonk]]

* [[Made of Iron]]

* [[Mighty Glacier]]

* [[Talking Weapon]]

* [[Rainbow Motif]]

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]

 

=== Jingaran ===

 

* [[The Faceless]]

* [[Heart Symbol]]: The attack called [http://www.mangareader.net/soul-eater/95/24 "The Lovers."] Probably also an example of [[The Power of Love]].

* [[Our Genies Are Different]]: His [http://www.mangareader.net/soul-eater/92/20 Jinn form].

* [[Tarot Motifs]]: His different forms are loosely based on this.
