Soul Eater revolves around the students of Shinigami Buki Shokunin Senmon (Shibunsen), a master’s trade school, and their buki (demonic weapons in human form). The school was created by the god of death, who also has the function of principal; Each master has a partner (rarely two) with whom to fight. The school’s ultimate goal is to keep the peace and prevent a new kishin (a demonic master who almost brought this world into chaos) from arising; In this regard, the school’s students collect the eggs of Kishin, which are evil human souls. Absorbing 99 souls plus that of a witch, the Buki becomes a powerful weapon that can be used by the Shinigami. In order for the students to be able to cope with this task, master and Buki naturally visit the school and supplementary classes. During their training, in addition to attending the courses, students can also complete the missions that Shinigami-sensei commands them to do. It’s almost always about facing an enemy and then being able to eat their soul.
