!!Free
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/53240.jpg
-->Voiced by: RintarouNishi (JP), TravisWillingham (EN)
An immortal werewolf placed in jail for taking Mabaa's left eye. Despite being so dangerous and powerful, his personality is quite silly. He can also be serious and cunning when needed, but he usually isn't since he can't die.
-----
* AnIcePerson: Free uses Ice based magic, but his personality is a little off from the usual.
* BigBadassWolf: The whole werewolf deal you know and can be pretty darn badass when he wants to be.
* CatchPhrase: He's got at least two: the chant "Wolf, wolves, wolf, wolves," and the more informal [[GratuitousEnglish "GODDAMNSHIIIIT!"]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Free originally let himself be imprisoned because he wanted to try to dig his way out of a prison with a spoon, like in the movies... Unfortunately, all the meals were served with chopsticks.
* EvilEye.
* FantasticRacism: Apparently, Shibusen has mercilessly hunted down werewolves in the past. He's not happy about this.
* {{Hologram}}: One of his powers.
* {{Immortality}}: Free regenerates from all and any damage and doesn't age.
* MagicMisfire: Happened two times during his first fight after 200 years, the second time resulting in him becoming a [[HumanPopsicle Wolfman Popsicle]]
* MeaningfulName: Names himself Free after beeing freed by Medusa.
* NoNameGiven: Free is known only by his nicknames. So far he has been called (Man of the) Demon Eye, Free & (The Legendary) Werewolf.
* NoSenseOfDirection: In the Baba Yaga arc of the manga. He was supposed to destroy tower 1 and he went toward tower 2 instead. In the end he ended up at tower 8. Besides towers 2 and 8 were opposite to each other. He had been in Baba Yaga's Castle for a pretty long time by then... I mean that's just messed up.
* NotSoGreatEscape: When Eruka got him out of jail and he was still restrained. He talked pretty darn loud. The guards found out and surrounded them. He then kills them all in about thirty seconds.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Voluntary shapeshifting, full control of his mental faculties, just as strong in human form as in wolf form (but no tail or claws/bite) and apparently immortal by nature before he stole Mabaa's eye.
* TunnelKing: Free wanted to escape prison using this method but they only gave him chopsticks.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Free has stated that his werewolf form is his true form.
* UnskilledButStrong: After years of imprisonment, let's just say that Free has gotten a little bit... rusty... with his magic skills. At one time, he even manages to encase himself in a block of ice! However, when he does get it right, he's a major threat, not to mention the fact that he can afford to be unskilled due to the fact that he is ''immortal.''
!!Ragnarok
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/24946.jpg
-->Voiced by: KeijiHimeno (JP), SonnyStrait (EN)
Ragnarok is Crona's Demon Sword partner. He shares a body with his meister and loves to bully and torment him/her at every opportunity.
------
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: In the anime [[spoiler: when Crona jumps in front of Medusa's vector attack to save Maka, Ragnarok comes out of the resulting pool of blood yelling that they're both going to die and it's all Maka's fault, "but at least stupid Crona isn't alone in the end."]]
* BodyHorror
* BloodyMurder: He's Crona's LivingWeapon made out of black blood, after all.
* BullyAndWimpPairing: Bully to Crona's wimp.
* TheImp
* {{Jerkass}}: Has been a pretty consistent one throughout all his different forms.
* LivingWeapon: Not only is he able to turn into a sword, he really is ''Crona's blood''.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Many of his attacks involve screaming.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He fares pretty well against Giriko and knocks over a golem while in SleepModeSize! Maka even wonders how she was able to defeat him.
* SleepModeSize
* TalkingWeapon: With giant, fleshy lips, no less.
* TokenEvilTeammate: After Crona's HeelFaceTurn.
* {{Vibroweapon}}: He vibrates by [[MakeMeWannaShout screaming]].
!!Excalibur
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/37588.jpg
-->Voiced by: TakehitoKoyasu (JP), TroyBaker (EN)
The legendary sword used by heroes and kings. In spite of his immense powers, Excalibur hardly ever has a meister because no one can put up with his unbearably grating, loudmouthed, egomaniac personality. He usually resides in a cave full of fairies, who also can't stand him.
-----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: [[BeyondTheImpossible Can cut through Dimensions.]]
* [[AwesomeButImpractical Awesome But]] [[TheScrappy Intolerable]]
* CanonImmigrant[=/=]AscendedMeme: The "Excalibur Song" was originally made for a filler episode in the anime. It eventually found its way into the manga, where Excalibur was able to torment even more people with it.
* CaptainErsatz: Excalibur's character design is pretty much ripped right off from ''TheMoomins''.
* CatchPhrase: "'''{{BAKA}}ME/[[YouFool FOOL!]]'''", and "My legend began in/dates back to the 12th century".
* CloudCuckooLander
** TheCuckoolanderWasRight / DumbassHasAPoint: Towards to the end of the anime, he [[WisdomFromTheGutter gives out some info during the fight against Asura]] and [[spoiler:[[WhatTheHellHero calls Azusa on fighting Asura without a meister]]]]... in between being a CloudCuckoolander of the nth degree.
* {{Earworm}}: [[GratuitousEnglish "Excalibur... Excalibur... From United King, I'm looking for him, I'm going to Californiaaa~"]]
** OverlyLongGag: "How long is this torture going to last?..."
* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination]]: [[spoiler:It's implied that he's a Great Old One and possibly the representation of the Madness of Rage. The cover spread of [[http://www.mangareader.net/soul-eater/77/2 chapter 77]] possibly shows him alongside Shinigami, Asura, Eibon and The Black Mass, all of whom are confirmed eldritch horrors (second from the left).]]
* FearlessFool: More in the anime, where he's pretty much the only one that isn't afraid of Asura's power.
** Justified since he is that powerful.
* HilarityEnsues: Whether you love Excalibur or hate him, words cannot describe how hilarious [[http://read.mangashare.com/Soul-Eater/chapter-074/page021.html this]] is, immediately followed by [[http://read.mangashare.com/Soul-Eater/chapter-074/page030.html this]]. And before you ask, that is Black Star.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Excalibur is '''''[[{{Naruto}} Pain]]'''''?!
** [[DeadpanSnarker Yes]]. [[IncrediblyLamePun Yes it certainly is]].
** The Japanese version, meanwhile, is... Well, ''[[ManOfAThousandVoices everybody]]''.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Is actually the most powerful weapon in existence... '''''if''''' you're willing to take his absurd crap.
** Some of the known abilities he grants his wielder are Heavenly Wings, light speed movement, and the ability to slash everything with ''[[StuffBlowingUp gigantic explosions of golden fire]]''. When Liz used him (briefly) in the Book of Eibon, he was able to cut a large hole '''through another dimension'''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Oh ''hell'' yes.
* JerkAss: He's so friggin annoying it makes sense why the only people who can wield him can be called kings and heroes, King Arthur must've been a saint.
** I can almost see why the Lady of the Lake wanted to get rid of him. She may have recognized Arthur's leadership skills and his ability to withstand and work with any persona, no matter how extreme. Of course, I'm just guessing.
** According to the anime, he was a lot more coherent in King Arthur's day. And also had a cool beard. Apparently his sanity is directly proportional to his amount of facial hair.
** Note that in his first appearance, Excalibur was willing to cut his list of 1,000 requirements down to 800 in return for being wielded as a weapon by Kid or Star. Presumably, a sufficiently persuasive Meister could negotiate him down to something manageable.
** Also note, that in the Book of Eibon he was willing to lend his power to good guys with no requirements (in the Eibon Chapter Pride, they were too proud to accept his offer). It is not impossible that he merely put on a JerkAssFacade to scare off meisters who want to use him for petty reasons.
*** Ironic that in the Chapter of Pride, '''HE''' was humble enough to offer his services.
* LargeHam: Picking TakehitoKoyasu for his Japanese voice role and TroyBaker for his English couldn't possibly have been unintentional. And yes, they overact like hell and obviously had fun doing it.
* PhraseCatcher: "SO ANNOYING!"
* PublicDomainArtifact
* RunningGag: The [[http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/227/1287208133569.png 'I-Have-Met-Excalibur' face]].
* SmugSmiler: Sort of.
* TedBaxter: He's the most powerful weapon, true. But it is absolutely impossible for anything to be as great as he makes himself out to be.
* TheScrappy: An in-universe example (and a BaseBreaker on the audience). He's so ungodly annoying that he causes the exact same pained facial expression in everyone who meets him. [[http://www.mangareader.net/soul-eater/74/25 This includes]] [[spoiler:the Book of Eibon's Table of Contents]], which ''[[BeyondTheImpossible doesn't have a face]].''
** Another example is that Black?Star's {{leitmotif}} involves a line specifically underlining that he can't stand Excalibur. This in [[ItsAllAboutMe Black?Star]]'s {{leitmotif}}. The fact that he took time out of praising himself just to single out someone he doesn't like speaks volumes.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Almost every question that comes out of his mouth is a SecretTestOfCharacter...that only makes sense to him.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Inverted. He comes back for the climax in the anime, despite everyone's (both villain and hero) best attempts at ignoring him.
* TalkativeLoon
* TalkingWeapon: And singing... and dancing... and ''never shutting up''...
!!Giriko
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/33707.jpg
-->Voiced by: NobutoshiCanna (JP), JMichaelTatum (EN)
Giriko is a Demon Weapon and an ally to the witch Arachne. He lives for fighting and destruction, and takes the form of a chainsaw in weapon form.
-----
* AxCrazy: Is he ever.
* {{Badass}}
* BloodKnight: [[spoiler: In fact he's BeyondTheImpossible with this, that he literally dies from his soul exploding because it couldn't contain 800 years of pent-up bloodlust anymore.]]
* ChainsawGood: He ''is'' the chainsaw.
* ClusterFBomb
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* EvilCounterpart: At first he appears to be this to [[TheRival Justin Law]] up until [[spoiler:Justin's FaceHeelTurn]]. An argument could also be made that he's the evil counterpart of either [[HandsomeLech Spirit]] or more recently [[ByronicHero Soul]].
** Both Soul and Giriko have jagged teeth, AnimeHair, an insane amount of loyalty toward one person, and some form of attraction toward Maka. For Giriko, it manifests itself in extreme FoeYay and eventually [[spoiler: LesYay]]. For Soul, it comes in the form of [[VitriolicBestBuds a weird]] but ''extremely'' loyal friendship and various amounts of ShipTease.
* [[spoiler:{{Gender Bender}}]]: [[spoiler:Since his latest kid was a girl he had no choice but to transport his mind into her, effectively changing genders.]]
* FoeYay: Admits he has some for Maka. [[spoiler:Considering he was a girl by then, it also counts LesYay]]. Let the InterplayOfSexAndViolence begin!
* TheHedonist: He drinks in every other chapter, he's lazy as sin, and he acts [[http://mangastream.com/read/soul_eater/76853218/9 touchy-feely with the teenage girl]] he's attempting to massacre.
** Whoa, he's like the EvilCounterpart of [[HandsomeLech Spirit]].
* {{Immortality}}
** [[spoiler:He may have been able to swap bodies and memories to remain alive, but [[KarmicDeath 800 years of pent-up bloodlust does NOT have its benefits to the soul]]]].
* ImmortalityImmorality: Implanting your memories into your artificially created children? A little bit creepy.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: The [[IncrediblyLamePun longer]] his fight goes on with Maka, the more it descends into this. It gets to the point that you could replace "chainsaw" with "penis" and it would make just as much sense.
* {{Jerkass}}
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]]: [[spoiler:Giriko's sole desire in life, to unleash his bloodlust that was pent-up for 800 years, becomes his downfall when his soul is unable to withstand it any longer and EXPLODES.]]
** Horrifying enough, he [[FoeYay DOES]] entertain an interest in doing just that. [[spoiler:[[KarmicDeath Then, he dies.]]]]
** Just... just [[http://www.mangareader.net/157-54969-8/soul-eater/chapter-75.html see this]]. What he tells [[spoiler:Maka]] right after [[spoiler:pining her to the floor by her wrists]] REALLY doesn't help his case.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Towards Arachne.
* NotSoDifferent: A [[{{Badass}} Deathscythe-level]] bladed weapon who's [[UndyingLoyalty almost suicidally devoted]] to [[ActionGirl a woman much more powerful/skilled/smarter]] than he is, with [[SlasherSmile jagged teeth]]... Wait, are we talking about [[ChainsawGood Giriko]] and [[HotWitch Arachne]], or [[SinisterScythe Soul]] and [[CuteBruiser Maka]]?
* PsychoForHire
* [[spoiler:RoaringRampageOfRevenge]]: [[spoiler:Towards Maka and Soul for Arachne's death]].
* RollerbladeGood: Can use the chainsaws on his feet to work like this.
* [[spoiler:SelfDisposingVillain]]: [[spoiler:See Karmic Death]]
* SlasherSmile
* {{Steampunk}}: Arguably a motif.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Is quite fond of this trope.
* UndyingLoyalty: For Arachne.
* UnknownRival: To Justin, [[spoiler:before joining him]].
* UnstoppableRage: In the "Salvage" arc, his anger and energy was so tremendous that it made him practically untouchable; the air around him was a whirling death trap of chainsaw blades, while the "noise" from his soul made Soul's piano worthless.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Hasn't taken the death of Arachne very well at all.]]
* {{Yandere}}: For Arachne.
** [[spoiler:After her death, Giriko proceeded to try to rape Maka and then attempted to kill both her and Soul, ranting about how they had to die because of what they had done to her.]]

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/38743.jpg
-->Voiced by: HiroshiTsuchida (JP), KyleHebert (EN)
A demon blade called the Uncanny Sword and Tsubaki's estranged older brother, resenting her for being a more gifted weapon than he.
------
* AloofBigBrother
* {{Badass}}
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EvilWeapon - One possible state of the demon blade form; possessing people, acts of violence, and soul-destroying all present while Masamune had that particular Weapon form.
* EmoTeen: Has the appearence of one at the very least.
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* [[LonersAreFreaks Loners are Evil]] - Probably ''not'' a coincidence that Masamune went mad while alone and misunderstood, whilst Tsubaki's partnership with a meister (first from the family to join Shibusen) has allowed her to [[spoiler:unlock the 'true' form of the demon blade]].
* PeoplePuppets
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: He's a male version of Tsubaki, to put it bluntly.
* TheUnfavorite
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: He seems rather fond of talking like this.
!!Mosquito
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/38749.jpg
-->Voiced by: TakashiInagaki (JP), MarkStoddard (EN)
Mosquito is Arachne's butler. His appearance is a short old man with a large pointy nose which is used to suck the blood out of a victim.
------
* BadassGrandpa: Until he pulls off the BishounenLine.
* {{Battle Butler}}: For Arachne.
* BishounenLine: Aparently, Mosquito was very popular with the ladies 600 years ago.
** Considering he kind of looks like a bishounen Dracula, [[VampiresAreSexGods that's probably true]].
* TheDragon
* ShoutOut: His "Police Stinger" is reference to both the band "The Band" and its lead singer, Sting.
!!Kishin Asura
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ashurakishin_1_9012.jpg
-->Voiced by: ToshioFurukawa (JP), ChrisPatton (EN)
The strongest and most dangerous antagonist in ''SoulEater'', and the first demon god. He was supposedly once human, a meister and Death's apprentice who ate his own weapon partner after going insane with fear. Before the start of the series, he was defeated by Shinigami-sama and [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned]]. However he is eventually released and begins to spread "madness" throughout the world.
-----
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil
* BigBad: In the anime version at least, still open for debate in the manga though.
** BiggerBad: Bigger than Arachne, potentially bigger than Medusa.
* {{Bishounen}}: He can be quite pretty when not making {{Nightmare Face}}s.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Attacking the bystanders in the Death Room to force Shinigami to [[TakingTheBullet take the 'bullet']] [[TearJerker himself]]. Also, interrupting Kid's longer-than-usual transformation sequence by skewering him.
** Also when he realizes he's [[spoiler:[[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove started to feel something for Arachne]], he kills her to keep anyone from using her against him]].
* DirtyCoward: Shinigami describes him as this.
* DissonantSerenity: Especially in the anime, he can be disturbingly calm at times. He doesn't even bat an eyelid at Shinigami's threats to skin him alive ''again''.
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:It's been stated in the manga that he is a "Great Old One", along with the other Eight Warlords, he himself implied to be the "AnthropomorphicPersonification of the Madness of Terror."]]
** HumanoidAbomination
* [[spoiler:EvilCannotComprehendGood]]: [[spoiler:Asura is defeated in the anime because he cannot comprehend the concept of courage.]]
* EvilEye
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Not on your hands, your forehead, and ''especially'' not ''[[BeyondTheImpossible inside]]'' your normal eyes!
* FateWorseThanDeath: Having your skin ripped off and turned into a bag with which to seal your soul for all eternity. No wonder he's even crazier when he comes out.
* FreakOut: His original one was what caused him to become the first Kishin.
* GigglingVillain: Extremely high-pitched and disturbing.
* HannibalLecture: In the anime he gives one to Shinigami ([[CasualDangerDialogue while beating each other to a pulp]]) and another to Maka.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: A vajra that fires laser beams?
* InstantRunes: Summons them by clapping his hands.
* LimpAndLivid: Pretty much his default way of moving, although to be honest, he has to learn to walk all over again. By the end of the anime he's standing upright.
* MadGod
* MeaningfulName: "Asura" are minor Buddhist gods, associated with violence and mad desire.
* NoSell: In the anime, everybody's attacks are rendered useless against him.
* OneWingedAngel: His giant True Kishin form in the anime. Although from there he reverts back into an even more powerful human shape.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* ScarfOfAssKicking: His primary weapon, which can easily impale you. Plus they're made of his own skin.
* [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Madness In A Can]]
* SlasherSmile: Not with great regularity, but being madness incarnate and all it's no surprise how well he can pull them off.
* {{Ubermensch}}: Anime-only, from his ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Shinigami-Sama in Episode 48, he can be seen as this.
* VillainousBreakdown: He's so paranoid and fearful that he has these at the drop of a hat, but his one at the end was a topper.
!!Noah
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/33712.jpg
The 3rd BigBad of the series, Noah originally appeared to being working for Arachne, until it's revealed that his true goal is to use the Book of Eibon to absorb and "collect" everything, which he feels in essence would make him "everything". [[spoiler: In truth, he's not actually human, but a projection from the Book of Eibon used to carry out its will.]]
-----
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman: After he gets killed, the "Table Of Contents" in the Book of Eibon reveals he was a manifestation of the Greed chapter, called a "statue." Another one is sent out, this time of the Wrath chapter, thus leading to...]]
** [[spoiler:TheNthDoctor]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: His personal magic revolves around caterpillars and centipedes. On {{nightmare fuel}}.
* TheCollector: He decided to add [[spoiler:Kid]] to his TomeOfEldritchLore along with anything else he finds interesting.
** CollectorOfTheStrange: Such "interesting" things include demons, sins, and a massive, inky abomination calling itself a [[EldritchAbomination Great Old One]].
*** He also collected [[spoiler:Excalibur. Freaking "He's So Annoying Everything Wants To Kill Him" Excalibur]]. You do ''NOT'' get stranger than that.
* DissonantSerenity: Never shows anything stronger than mild irritation, [[spoiler:even when he's sucking people up into his book]].
* FlatCharacter: Noah wants to collect everything... and that's about all we get. He's got four or five separate [[MotiveRant Motive Rants]] amounting to exactly this.
** There's a reason for this. [[spoiler:Because he's nothing but a projection from the "Greed" chapter of the Book of Eibon.]]
* GreatBigBookOfEverything[=/=]TomeOfEldritchLore: The book of Eibon. He thinks by collecting everything in the world that [[AGodAmI he will become a god]].
* LegacyCharacter: It would seem Noah would at least ''like'' to be something this, as he's used Eibon's name for "brand recognition", as mentioned above.
* LetsGetDangerous: With GlowingEyesOfDoom and InstantRunes to go with it.
** When he twists his cap around, he's ''really'' decided to get serious.
* TheMinionMaster: When he actually decides to get serious, he fights by summoning hordes of monsters and artifacts from the Book of Eibon. These include giant worms, flying gremlins, a Cyclops, ''tentacles with faces, a three-headed dragon with a cemetery on its back and each head wearing the mask of a famous slasher film star, and '''MICHELANGELO'S DAVID.'''''
* NeverFoundTheBody: Strongly implied to have disappeared into the Book of Eibon at the end of his battle against Kid.
* NiceHat
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Stein, Sid, Marie, Nygus and Tezca]] never stood a chance.
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler:As Spartoi found out.]]
!!The Great Old One/The Black Mass
The above mentioned abomination sealed with Noah's Book of Eibon. [[spoiler:It claims that it was one of the Eight Warlords, along with Shinigami, Ashura, Eibon, and that those eight are and were truly beings known as the Great Old Ones, "existences which drive men to madness", to paraphrase the thing.]] It can give power at the cost of one's sanity, similar to the effects of Black Blood.
-----
* AmbiguousGender: It's a massive, inky black mass, and only ''very'' vaguely humanoid. So it seems safe to say that Atshushi is justified in ''this'' case.
* EldritchAbomination: See for [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110402163345/souleater/images/thumb/7/74/Soul-eater-1211017.jpg/435px-Soul-eater-1211017.jpg yourself]]. Also, see what it calls itself.
* FanNickname: Its title is often shortened to "GOO", which, nicely enough, also describes its apparent form quite well, other fans simply call it The Black Mass.
* [[spoiler:[[{{ItsAllMyFault}} It's All Our Fault]]]]: [[spoiler: It states that the Great Old Ones' very existence influenced madness and that they were ultimately responsible for the madness that was Asura.]]
* NoNameGiven: He only refers himself as one of the Great Old Ones.
* PowerAtAPrice: As stated above, he can give people power at the cost of their sanity, throwing them into madness.
* [[spoiler:SecretTestOfCharacter]]
* [[spoiler:TheReveal]]: [[spoiler:"''Fragment of the Madness of Law... Fragment... of Shinigami."]]
* SealedEvilInACan[=/=]SealedGoodInACan: Though reasons for how and why aren't clear, it seems to be existing within the Book of Eibon and though it starts out antagonizing, its alliance is ultimately sort of ambiguous.
** It's also staying there by choice, for its own vague reasons, and has the power to get out any time.
!!Gopher
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/63266.jpg
Gopher has a rather aggressive and violent nature, especially if it is concerning insults made towards Noah, whom he is both extremely protective over and obsessed about. Gopher personally believes that he is the only one who can satisfy Noah. Justin also describes Gopher as always being uptight. He later demonstrates a tendency to bite his top lip whenever he becomes enraged.
-----
* CrazyJealousGuy
* DeathGlare: Subverted; he tries, but just achieves a [[{{Narm}} ridiculously pouty inverted-V face]]. Unfortunately for Death the Kid, his pout is silly, but [[BerserkButton asymmetrical]].
** It doesn't look asymmetrical at first, but Kid could see the differences, they're near microscopic.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His face on [[http://www.mangareader.net/157-34060-14/soul-eater/chapter-65.html this page]]. Wow, just... wow.
* FanNickname: Waffles.
* LargeHam: "NOAH-SAMAAAAAAAAA!"
* LoveMartyr: Again, to Noah.
* {{Yandere}}: To the point of parody. Gopher seems to think ''everyone'' is a rival for "Noah-sama's" affection.
!!Table of Contents (TOC)
A small, unassuming creature that acts as a guide inside the Book of Eibon, leading its visitors through the book's chapters until they reach enlightenment or madness. [[spoiler: It's actually the book's "intelligence" and Noah's puppetmaster, and desires to take the Kishin for itself so it can "educate" the world with Asura's madness.]]
* AffablyEvil: Its motivations certainly aren't good, but it's still polite, helpful, and true to its word.
* EldritchAbomination: A relatively minor and benign one.
* EvilMentor: [[spoiler: It wants to be one of these for the ''whole world,'' corrupting everything with the knowledge and secrets that Eibon locked away.]]
* [[spoiler:Madness Mantra]]: [[spoiler: A quite epic one:]]
--> [[spoiler:"I want to give guidance. I want to teach. I want to point. I want to show. I want to guide. I want to inform. I want to teach. I want to instruct. I want to explain. I want to enlighten. I want to initiate. I want to introduce. I want to instruct. I want to educate. Anyway...I want to teach".]]
* [[spoiler:TheManBehindTheMan]]: [[spoiler: Is revealed to be the one behind Noah's actions (and who created him in the first place.]]
* TomeOfEldritchLore: It essentially ''is'' one.
* VerbalTic: Depending on the translation, "squideed" or "outdeed" for "indeed," followed by a hasty correction.
!!Mifune
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/76117_7110.jpg
-->Voiced by: KenjiroTsuda (JP), RobertMcCollum (EN)
A samurai with a soul so strong that it counts for ninety-nine souls by itself. Black Star was about to take his soul but stopped when he saw how Mifune was protecting the young witch, Angela. He acts like a big brother or even a father to Angela.
------
* AntiVillain
** Made even clearer in the anime, in which his soul is blue (i.e. uncorrupted).
* {{Badass}}: Undeniably so.
** BadassLongcoat
** BadassLongHair
** BadassNormal: When you consider that he isn't a Meister or Weapon, he becomes even more badass. As impossible as it may be.
* BadassAndChildDuo: The badass to Angela's child.
* BlueEyes: Manga only.
* CoatCape
* [[spoiler:DisappearsIntoLight: His death in the manga.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai
* {{Field Of Blades}}: It's called "Infinite Sword Style" for a reason.
* FriendToAllChildren: ''His primary motivation''. Just in case, y'know, him being an AntiVillain wasn't clear enough.
* HairOfGold: Manga only.
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MasterSwordsman
* MoralityPet: Angela.
* OralFixationFixation: A straw.
* {{Samurai}}
* SimultaneousBladeSpam: Mifune can do this with his "infinite sword style" moves. Not only can he trap his opponent by pinning them down with sme of his many swords but he can make each sword strike multiple times by making them vibrate.
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation]]
* WorthyOpponent: To Black?Star.
* WouldntHurtAChild
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Anime only.
* [[spoiler:YouKilledMyFather]]: [[spoiler:Anime only, in which he is responsible for killing Black?Star's father, White Star. Subverted in that he doesn't die. Also, Black?Star holds no grudge against Mifune for that specifically, as he knows [[CompleteMonster his father]] deserved what was coming to him.]]
!!The Clown
Insanity incarnate, it was born as a result of the madness Asura released into the world. Maka and Soul first encountered it in a twisted factory where it tried to drive them both insane, but they defeated it with Maka's anti-demon wavelength. It escaped, and has since allied itself with Noah's team and with Justin Law in particular.
Recently, Medusa has [[spoiler:taken to creating her own artificial Clowns: the Black Clown, which has similar capabilities to the original, and the Violet Clown, a "portable" model shaped like a crescent moon that defends her from insanity and amplifies her attacks]].
------
* TheCorruption: It and the Black Clown spread insanity just by existing.
** In turn, the Clowns rise from the corruption of Asura's insanity. [[spoiler: Asura's dwelling is ''packed'' with them.]]
* EldritchAbomination
* ItGotWorse: There is now a bunch of these things running around.
* MindRape: Pulls a particularly nasty one on Maka.
* MonsterClown: On top of being scary as hell, its body is so twisted that it's barely recognizable as a clown at all. Presumably, one look at it would make Death the Kid's head explode.
* Mooks: [[spoiler: Asura has his own army of Clowns.]]
** EliteMooks: [[spoiler: Gekkou, Shirahoshi and Kaguya are basically this, since they are more powerful than the other Clowns and have their own powers. Others appeared later.]]
* NotQuiteDead: After being cut in half by Maka's Demon Hunter, it revived, freaked them out one last time, and disappeared. The attack apparently caused some lasting damage, because now its head is even more deformed than usual.
!!Eibon
-->Voiced by: YasuyukiKase (JP), ChristopherSabat (EN)
The mysterious creator of BREW, the Eternal Spring, and the Book of Eibon, among other demon tools. Eibon was one of Shinigami's eight warriors, alongside Asura. Not much else is known about him.
------
* [[spoiler: TheAtoner]]: Anime only. [[spoiler: He sided with Arachne to save his lover from death, and turns himself into the key to unlock BREW for Shinigami to use when he failed.]]
* TheFaceless: Due to wearing several masks and an ornate robe during his only comfirmed appearance.
* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination]]: [[spoiler:Called a Great Old One, along with the other Eight Warlords]].
* TheEngineer
** TheSmartGuy: He represents the Madness of Knowledge.
* {{Necromantic}}: In the anime.
* ShoutOut: To ClarkAshtonSmith and, by corellation, HPLovecraft.
* [[spoiler:SoulJar]]: [[spoiler:The anime incarnation hid himself inside the Key of Eibon.]]
!!The Flying Dutchman
-->Voiced by: YasunoriMatsumoto (JP), PhilParsons (EN)
The Dutchman is the soul of the ship Nidhogg, who fought Death the Kid while collecting souls for the Kishin. He later appeared as a factory which housed The Clown. Ultimately, he was destroyed, after being toyed with by Blair.
------
* GeniusLoci: A ship, and, later, a factory.
* NiceHat: Of which he is very protective.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Dude looks like an evil Muppet...
* SelfDestructMechanism: His second form included one that would actually kill anyone who touched it; he tried to goad Blair into pressing it by claiming it would kill ''him''. However, Blair tricked him into pressing it himself, so he died, taking the factory with him.
!!Rachel Boyd
-->Voiced by: HoukoKuwashima (JP), CarrieSavage (EN)
A little girl who lives in Shibusen with her parents. [[spoiler: And becomes Medusa's host unwillingly.]]
-----
* [[spoiler: AdultFear: Your cute five-year-old (insert: daughter, sister, cousin, ward, neighbor, etc.) goes pets a stray dog while walk down the street. After that she starts talking to herself while watching TV for way too long and acting like a zombie. Later that night you have a glimpse of a super creepy viper, and your little girl cries and claims to have seen it too. The morning after, she keeps acting creepy and kills a spider with her own hands... and starts talking like an adult and acting cold to you, addressing you as if you were a stranger. And ''then'', she vanishes right in front of your porch, and you can't do anything abut it. '''Yikes.''']]
* BarrierMaiden: Sorta. [[spoiler: Medusa not only possesses her, but uses her as a hostage: yeah, she ''did'' promise to leave Rachel's body, but it doesn't mean she can't use Rachel's age and pawn condition to her advantage.]]
* CreepyChild: [[spoiler: Not her fault. Dammit, Medusa.]]
* [[spoiler: EvilCostumeSwitch: She wears a black dress similar to Medusa's own when possessed.]]
* [[spoiler: FilleFatale: Sorta, since Medusa keeps acting as TheVamp while in the poor little girl's body, doing so specially to drive Stein and others mad. [[{{Squick}} Aaaaaaauuuugh]].]]
* [[spoiler: GrandTheftMe: On the receiving end.]]
!!Ahab
A weapon who takes the form of a giant harpoon gun. He is traditionally wielded by a different person for his village's annual [[GiantFlyer sky whale]] hunt.
------
* CoolOldGuy
* HandicappedBadass: He's got a peg leg. Not that it stops him any.
* TheHunter
* MeaningfulName: He's named after Captain Ahab of ''MobyDick''. But unlike his namesake, who hunts one particular whale out of revenge, this guy hunts one ''type'' of whale for the genuine threat it poses against his village, and the world for that matter.
* StudentAndMasterTeam: He's far older and more experienced than his meisters, and guides them during their hunts.
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/53240.jpg
-->Voiced by: RintarouNishi (JP), TravisWillingham (EN)
An immortal werewolf placed in jail for taking Mabaa's left eye. Despite being so dangerous and powerful, his personality is quite silly. He can also be serious and cunning when needed, but he usually isn't since he can't die.
-----
* AnIcePerson: Free uses Ice based magic, but his personality is a little off from the usual.
* BigBadassWolf: The whole werewolf deal you know and can be pretty darn badass when he wants to be.
* CatchPhrase: He's got at least two: the chant "Wolf, wolves, wolf, wolves," and the more informal [[GratuitousEnglish "GODDAMNSHIIIIT!"]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Free originally let himself be imprisoned because he wanted to try to dig his way out of a prison with a spoon, like in the movies... Unfortunately, all the meals were served with chopsticks.
* EvilEye.
* FantasticRacism: Apparently, Shibusen has mercilessly hunted down werewolves in the past. He's not happy about this.
* {{Hologram}}: One of his powers.
* {{Immortality}}: Free regenerates from all and any damage and doesn't age.
* MagicMisfire: Happened two times during his first fight after 200 years, the second time resulting in him becoming a [[HumanPopsicle Wolfman Popsicle]]
* MeaningfulName: Names himself Free after beeing freed by Medusa.
* NoNameGiven: Free is known only by his nicknames. So far he has been called (Man of the) Demon Eye, Free & (The Legendary) Werewolf.
* NoSenseOfDirection: In the Baba Yaga arc of the manga. He was supposed to destroy tower 1 and he went toward tower 2 instead. In the end he ended up at tower 8. Besides towers 2 and 8 were opposite to each other. He had been in Baba Yaga's Castle for a pretty long time by then... I mean that's just messed up.
* NotSoGreatEscape: When Eruka got him out of jail and he was still restrained. He talked pretty darn loud. The guards found out and surrounded them. He then kills them all in about thirty seconds.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Voluntary shapeshifting, full control of his mental faculties, just as strong in human form as in wolf form (but no tail or claws/bite) and apparently immortal by nature before he stole Mabaa's eye.
* TunnelKing: Free wanted to escape prison using this method but they only gave him chopsticks.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Free has stated that his werewolf form is his true form.
* UnskilledButStrong: After years of imprisonment, let's just say that Free has gotten a little bit... rusty... with his magic skills. At one time, he even manages to encase himself in a block of ice! However, when he does get it right, he's a major threat, not to mention the fact that he can afford to be unskilled due to the fact that he is ''immortal.''
!!Ragnarok
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/24946.jpg
-->Voiced by: KeijiHimeno (JP), SonnyStrait (EN)
Ragnarok is Crona's Demon Sword partner. He shares a body with his meister and loves to bully and torment him/her at every opportunity.
------
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: In the anime [[spoiler: when Crona jumps in front of Medusa's vector attack to save Maka, Ragnarok comes out of the resulting pool of blood yelling that they're both going to die and it's all Maka's fault, "but at least stupid Crona isn't alone in the end."]]
* BodyHorror
* BloodyMurder: He's Crona's LivingWeapon made out of black blood, after all.
* BullyAndWimpPairing: Bully to Crona's wimp.
* TheImp
* {{Jerkass}}: Has been a pretty consistent one throughout all his different forms.
* LivingWeapon: Not only is he able to turn into a sword, he really is ''Crona's blood''.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Many of his attacks involve screaming.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He fares pretty well against Giriko and knocks over a golem while in SleepModeSize! Maka even wonders how she was able to defeat him.
* SleepModeSize
* TalkingWeapon: With giant, fleshy lips, no less.
* TokenEvilTeammate: After Crona's HeelFaceTurn.
* {{Vibroweapon}}: He vibrates by [[MakeMeWannaShout screaming]].
!!Excalibur
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/37588.jpg
-->Voiced by: TakehitoKoyasu (JP), TroyBaker (EN)
The legendary sword used by heroes and kings. In spite of his immense powers, Excalibur hardly ever has a meister because no one can put up with his unbearably grating, loudmouthed, egomaniac personality. He usually resides in a cave full of fairies, who also can't stand him.
-----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: [[BeyondTheImpossible Can cut through Dimensions.]]
* [[AwesomeButImpractical Awesome But]] [[TheScrappy Intolerable]]
* CanonImmigrant[=/=]AscendedMeme: The "Excalibur Song" was originally made for a filler episode in the anime. It eventually found its way into the manga, where Excalibur was able to torment even more people with it.
* CaptainErsatz: Excalibur's character design is pretty much ripped right off from ''TheMoomins''.
* CatchPhrase: "'''{{BAKA}}ME/[[YouFool FOOL!]]'''", and "My legend began in/dates back to the 12th century".
* CloudCuckooLander
** TheCuckoolanderWasRight / DumbassHasAPoint: Towards to the end of the anime, he [[WisdomFromTheGutter gives out some info during the fight against Asura]] and [[spoiler:[[WhatTheHellHero calls Azusa on fighting Asura without a meister]]]]... in between being a CloudCuckoolander of the nth degree.
* {{Earworm}}: [[GratuitousEnglish "Excalibur... Excalibur... From United King, I'm looking for him, I'm going to Californiaaa~"]]
** OverlyLongGag: "How long is this torture going to last?..."
* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination]]: [[spoiler:It's implied that he's a Great Old One and possibly the representation of the Madness of Rage. The cover spread of [[http://www.mangareader.net/soul-eater/77/2 chapter 77]] possibly shows him alongside Shinigami, Asura, Eibon and The Black Mass, all of whom are confirmed eldritch horrors (second from the left).]]
* FearlessFool: More in the anime, where he's pretty much the only one that isn't afraid of Asura's power.
** Justified since he is that powerful.
* HilarityEnsues: Whether you love Excalibur or hate him, words cannot describe how hilarious [[http://read.mangashare.com/Soul-Eater/chapter-074/page021.html this]] is, immediately followed by [[http://read.mangashare.com/Soul-Eater/chapter-074/page030.html this]]. And before you ask, that is Black Star.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Excalibur is '''''[[{{Naruto}} Pain]]'''''?!
** [[DeadpanSnarker Yes]]. [[IncrediblyLamePun Yes it certainly is]].
** The Japanese version, meanwhile, is... Well, ''[[ManOfAThousandVoices everybody]]''.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Is actually the most powerful weapon in existence... '''''if''''' you're willing to take his absurd crap.
** Some of the known abilities he grants his wielder are Heavenly Wings, light speed movement, and the ability to slash everything with ''[[StuffBlowingUp gigantic explosions of golden fire]]''. When Liz used him (briefly) in the Book of Eibon, he was able to cut a large hole '''through another dimension'''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Oh ''hell'' yes.
* JerkAss: He's so friggin annoying it makes sense why the only people who can wield him can be called kings and heroes, King Arthur must've been a saint.
** I can almost see why the Lady of the Lake wanted to get rid of him. She may have recognized Arthur's leadership skills and his ability to withstand and work with any persona, no matter how extreme. Of course, I'm just guessing.
** According to the anime, he was a lot more coherent in King Arthur's day. And also had a cool beard. Apparently his sanity is directly proportional to his amount of facial hair.
** Note that in his first appearance, Excalibur was willing to cut his list of 1,000 requirements down to 800 in return for being wielded as a weapon by Kid or Star. Presumably, a sufficiently persuasive Meister could negotiate him down to something manageable.
** Also note, that in the Book of Eibon he was willing to lend his power to good guys with no requirements (in the Eibon Chapter Pride, they were too proud to accept his offer). It is not impossible that he merely put on a JerkAssFacade to scare off meisters who want to use him for petty reasons.
*** Ironic that in the Chapter of Pride, '''HE''' was humble enough to offer his services.
* LargeHam: Picking TakehitoKoyasu for his Japanese voice role and TroyBaker for his English couldn't possibly have been unintentional. And yes, they overact like hell and obviously had fun doing it.
* PhraseCatcher: "SO ANNOYING!"
* PublicDomainArtifact
* RunningGag: The [[http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/227/1287208133569.png 'I-Have-Met-Excalibur' face]].
* SmugSmiler: Sort of.
* TedBaxter: He's the most powerful weapon, true. But it is absolutely impossible for anything to be as great as he makes himself out to be.
* TheScrappy: An in-universe example (and a BaseBreaker on the audience). He's so ungodly annoying that he causes the exact same pained facial expression in everyone who meets him. [[http://www.mangareader.net/soul-eater/74/25 This includes]] [[spoiler:the Book of Eibon's Table of Contents]], which ''[[BeyondTheImpossible doesn't have a face]].''
** Another example is that Black?Star's {{leitmotif}} involves a line specifically underlining that he can't stand Excalibur. This in [[ItsAllAboutMe Black?Star]]'s {{leitmotif}}. The fact that he took time out of praising himself just to single out someone he doesn't like speaks volumes.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Almost every question that comes out of his mouth is a SecretTestOfCharacter...that only makes sense to him.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Inverted. He comes back for the climax in the anime, despite everyone's (both villain and hero) best attempts at ignoring him.
* TalkativeLoon
* TalkingWeapon: And singing... and dancing... and ''never shutting up''...
!!Giriko
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/33707.jpg
-->Voiced by: NobutoshiCanna (JP), JMichaelTatum (EN)
Giriko is a Demon Weapon and an ally to the witch Arachne. He lives for fighting and destruction, and takes the form of a chainsaw in weapon form.
-----
* AxCrazy: Is he ever.
* {{Badass}}
* BloodKnight: [[spoiler: In fact he's BeyondTheImpossible with this, that he literally dies from his soul exploding because it couldn't contain 800 years of pent-up bloodlust anymore.]]
* ChainsawGood: He ''is'' the chainsaw.
* ClusterFBomb
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* EvilCounterpart: At first he appears to be this to [[TheRival Justin Law]] up until [[spoiler:Justin's FaceHeelTurn]]. An argument could also be made that he's the evil counterpart of either [[HandsomeLech Spirit]] or more recently [[ByronicHero Soul]].
** Both Soul and Giriko have jagged teeth, AnimeHair, an insane amount of loyalty toward one person, and some form of attraction toward Maka. For Giriko, it manifests itself in extreme FoeYay and eventually [[spoiler: LesYay]]. For Soul, it comes in the form of [[VitriolicBestBuds a weird]] but ''extremely'' loyal friendship and various amounts of ShipTease.
* [[spoiler:{{Gender Bender}}]]: [[spoiler:Since his latest kid was a girl he had no choice but to transport his mind into her, effectively changing genders.]]
* FoeYay: Admits he has some for Maka. [[spoiler:Considering he was a girl by then, it also counts LesYay]]. Let the InterplayOfSexAndViolence begin!
* TheHedonist: He drinks in every other chapter, he's lazy as sin, and he acts [[http://mangastream.com/read/soul_eater/76853218/9 touchy-feely with the teenage girl]] he's attempting to massacre.
** Whoa, he's like the EvilCounterpart of [[HandsomeLech Spirit]].
* {{Immortality}}
** [[spoiler:He may have been able to swap bodies and memories to remain alive, but [[KarmicDeath 800 years of pent-up bloodlust does NOT have its benefits to the soul]]]].
* ImmortalityImmorality: Implanting your memories into your artificially created children? A little bit creepy.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: The [[IncrediblyLamePun longer]] his fight goes on with Maka, the more it descends into this. It gets to the point that you could replace "chainsaw" with "penis" and it would make just as much sense.
* {{Jerkass}}
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]]: [[spoiler:Giriko's sole desire in life, to unleash his bloodlust that was pent-up for 800 years, becomes his downfall when his soul is unable to withstand it any longer and EXPLODES.]]
** Horrifying enough, he [[FoeYay DOES]] entertain an interest in doing just that. [[spoiler:[[KarmicDeath Then, he dies.]]]]
** Just... just [[http://www.mangareader.net/157-54969-8/soul-eater/chapter-75.html see this]]. What he tells [[spoiler:Maka]] right after [[spoiler:pining her to the floor by her wrists]] REALLY doesn't help his case.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Towards Arachne.
* NotSoDifferent: A [[{{Badass}} Deathscythe-level]] bladed weapon who's [[UndyingLoyalty almost suicidally devoted]] to [[ActionGirl a woman much more powerful/skilled/smarter]] than he is, with [[SlasherSmile jagged teeth]]... Wait, are we talking about [[ChainsawGood Giriko]] and [[HotWitch Arachne]], or [[SinisterScythe Soul]] and [[CuteBruiser Maka]]?
* PsychoForHire
* [[spoiler:RoaringRampageOfRevenge]]: [[spoiler:Towards Maka and Soul for Arachne's death]].
* RollerbladeGood: Can use the chainsaws on his feet to work like this.
* [[spoiler:SelfDisposingVillain]]: [[spoiler:See Karmic Death]]
* SlasherSmile
* {{Steampunk}}: Arguably a motif.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Is quite fond of this trope.
* UndyingLoyalty: For Arachne.
* UnknownRival: To Justin, [[spoiler:before joining him]].
* UnstoppableRage: In the "Salvage" arc, his anger and energy was so tremendous that it made him practically untouchable; the air around him was a whirling death trap of chainsaw blades, while the "noise" from his soul made Soul's piano worthless.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Hasn't taken the death of Arachne very well at all.]]
* {{Yandere}}: For Arachne.
** [[spoiler:After her death, Giriko proceeded to try to rape Maka and then attempted to kill both her and Soul, ranting about how they had to die because of what they had done to her.]]
!!Masamune
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/38743.jpg
-->Voiced by: HiroshiTsuchida (JP), KyleHebert (EN)
A demon blade called the Uncanny Sword and Tsubaki's estranged older brother, resenting her for being a more gifted weapon than he.
------
* AloofBigBrother
* {{Badass}}
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EvilWeapon - One possible state of the demon blade form; possessing people, acts of violence, and soul-destroying all present while Masamune had that particular Weapon form.
* EmoTeen: Has the appearence of one at the very least.
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* [[LonersAreFreaks Loners are Evil]] - Probably ''not'' a coincidence that Masamune went mad while alone and misunderstood, whilst Tsubaki's partnership with a meister (first from the family to join Shibusen) has allowed her to [[spoiler:unlock the 'true' form of the demon blade]].
* PeoplePuppets
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: He's a male version of Tsubaki, to put it bluntly.
* TheUnfavorite
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: He seems rather fond of talking like this.
!!Mosquito
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/38749.jpg
-->Voiced by: TakashiInagaki (JP), MarkStoddard (EN)
Mosquito is Arachne's butler. His appearance is a short old man with a large pointy nose which is used to suck the blood out of a victim.
------
* BadassGrandpa: Until he pulls off the BishounenLine.
* {{Battle Butler}}: For Arachne.
* BishounenLine: Aparently, Mosquito was very popular with the ladies 600 years ago.
** Considering he kind of looks like a bishounen Dracula, [[VampiresAreSexGods that's probably true]].
* TheDragon
* ShoutOut: His "Police Stinger" is reference to both the band "The Band" and its lead singer, Sting.
!!Kishin Asura
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ashurakishin_1_9012.jpg
-->Voiced by: ToshioFurukawa (JP), ChrisPatton (EN)
The strongest and most dangerous antagonist in ''SoulEater'', and the first demon god. He was supposedly once human, a meister and Death's apprentice who ate his own weapon partner after going insane with fear. Before the start of the series, he was defeated by Shinigami-sama and [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned]]. However he is eventually released and begins to spread "madness" throughout the world.
-----
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil
* BigBad: In the anime version at least, still open for debate in the manga though.
** BiggerBad: Bigger than Arachne, potentially bigger than Medusa.
* {{Bishounen}}: He can be quite pretty when not making {{Nightmare Face}}s.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Attacking the bystanders in the Death Room to force Shinigami to [[TakingTheBullet take the 'bullet']] [[TearJerker himself]]. Also, interrupting Kid's longer-than-usual transformation sequence by skewering him.
** Also when he realizes he's [[spoiler:[[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove started to feel something for Arachne]], he kills her to keep anyone from using her against him]].
* DirtyCoward: Shinigami describes him as this.
* DissonantSerenity: Especially in the anime, he can be disturbingly calm at times. He doesn't even bat an eyelid at Shinigami's threats to skin him alive ''again''.
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:It's been stated in the manga that he is a "Great Old One", along with the other Eight Warlords, he himself implied to be the "AnthropomorphicPersonification of the Madness of Terror."]]
** HumanoidAbomination
* [[spoiler:EvilCannotComprehendGood]]: [[spoiler:Asura is defeated in the anime because he cannot comprehend the concept of courage.]]
* EvilEye
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Not on your hands, your forehead, and ''especially'' not ''[[BeyondTheImpossible inside]]'' your normal eyes!
* FateWorseThanDeath: Having your skin ripped off and turned into a bag with which to seal your soul for all eternity. No wonder he's even crazier when he comes out.
* FreakOut: His original one was what caused him to become the first Kishin.
* GigglingVillain: Extremely high-pitched and disturbing.
* HannibalLecture: In the anime he gives one to Shinigami ([[CasualDangerDialogue while beating each other to a pulp]]) and another to Maka.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: A vajra that fires laser beams?
* InstantRunes: Summons them by clapping his hands.
* LimpAndLivid: Pretty much his default way of moving, although to be honest, he has to learn to walk all over again. By the end of the anime he's standing upright.
* MadGod
* MeaningfulName: "Asura" are minor Buddhist gods, associated with violence and mad desire.
* NoSell: In the anime, everybody's attacks are rendered useless against him.
* OneWingedAngel: His giant True Kishin form in the anime. Although from there he reverts back into an even more powerful human shape.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* ScarfOfAssKicking: His primary weapon, which can easily impale you. Plus they're made of his own skin.
* [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Madness In A Can]]
* SlasherSmile: Not with great regularity, but being madness incarnate and all it's no surprise how well he can pull them off.
* {{Ubermensch}}: Anime-only, from his ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Shinigami-Sama in Episode 48, he can be seen as this.
* VillainousBreakdown: He's so paranoid and fearful that he has these at the drop of a hat, but his one at the end was a topper.
!!Noah
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/33712.jpg
The 3rd BigBad of the series, Noah originally appeared to being working for Arachne, until it's revealed that his true goal is to use the Book of Eibon to absorb and "collect" everything, which he feels in essence would make him "everything". [[spoiler: In truth, he's not actually human, but a projection from the Book of Eibon used to carry out its will.]]
-----
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman: After he gets killed, the "Table Of Contents" in the Book of Eibon reveals he was a manifestation of the Greed chapter, called a "statue." Another one is sent out, this time of the Wrath chapter, thus leading to...]]
** [[spoiler:TheNthDoctor]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: His personal magic revolves around caterpillars and centipedes. On {{nightmare fuel}}.
* TheCollector: He decided to add [[spoiler:Kid]] to his TomeOfEldritchLore along with anything else he finds interesting.
** CollectorOfTheStrange: Such "interesting" things include demons, sins, and a massive, inky abomination calling itself a [[EldritchAbomination Great Old One]].
*** He also collected [[spoiler:Excalibur. Freaking "He's So Annoying Everything Wants To Kill Him" Excalibur]]. You do ''NOT'' get stranger than that.
* DissonantSerenity: Never shows anything stronger than mild irritation, [[spoiler:even when he's sucking people up into his book]].
* FlatCharacter: Noah wants to collect everything... and that's about all we get. He's got four or five separate [[MotiveRant Motive Rants]] amounting to exactly this.
** There's a reason for this. [[spoiler:Because he's nothing but a projection from the "Greed" chapter of the Book of Eibon.]]
* GreatBigBookOfEverything[=/=]TomeOfEldritchLore: The book of Eibon. He thinks by collecting everything in the world that [[AGodAmI he will become a god]].
* LegacyCharacter: It would seem Noah would at least ''like'' to be something this, as he's used Eibon's name for "brand recognition", as mentioned above.
* LetsGetDangerous: With GlowingEyesOfDoom and InstantRunes to go with it.
** When he twists his cap around, he's ''really'' decided to get serious.
* TheMinionMaster: When he actually decides to get serious, he fights by summoning hordes of monsters and artifacts from the Book of Eibon. These include giant worms, flying gremlins, a Cyclops, ''tentacles with faces, a three-headed dragon with a cemetery on its back and each head wearing the mask of a famous slasher film star, and '''MICHELANGELO'S DAVID.'''''
* NeverFoundTheBody: Strongly implied to have disappeared into the Book of Eibon at the end of his battle against Kid.
* NiceHat
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Stein, Sid, Marie, Nygus and Tezca]] never stood a chance.
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler:As Spartoi found out.]]
!!The Great Old One/The Black Mass
The above mentioned abomination sealed with Noah's Book of Eibon. [[spoiler:It claims that it was one of the Eight Warlords, along with Shinigami, Ashura, Eibon, and that those eight are and were truly beings known as the Great Old Ones, "existences which drive men to madness", to paraphrase the thing.]] It can give power at the cost of one's sanity, similar to the effects of Black Blood.
-----
* AmbiguousGender: It's a massive, inky black mass, and only ''very'' vaguely humanoid. So it seems safe to say that Atshushi is justified in ''this'' case.
* EldritchAbomination: See for [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110402163345/souleater/images/thumb/7/74/Soul-eater-1211017.jpg/435px-Soul-eater-1211017.jpg yourself]]. Also, see what it calls itself.
* FanNickname: Its title is often shortened to "GOO", which, nicely enough, also describes its apparent form quite well, other fans simply call it The Black Mass.
* [[spoiler:[[{{ItsAllMyFault}} It's All Our Fault]]]]: [[spoiler: It states that the Great Old Ones' very existence influenced madness and that they were ultimately responsible for the madness that was Asura.]]
* NoNameGiven: He only refers himself as one of the Great Old Ones.
* PowerAtAPrice: As stated above, he can give people power at the cost of their sanity, throwing them into madness.
* [[spoiler:SecretTestOfCharacter]]
* [[spoiler:TheReveal]]: [[spoiler:"''Fragment of the Madness of Law... Fragment... of Shinigami."]]
* SealedEvilInACan[=/=]SealedGoodInACan: Though reasons for how and why aren't clear, it seems to be existing within the Book of Eibon and though it starts out antagonizing, its alliance is ultimately sort of ambiguous.
** It's also staying there by choice, for its own vague reasons, and has the power to get out any time.
!!Gopher
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/63266.jpg
Gopher has a rather aggressive and violent nature, especially if it is concerning insults made towards Noah, whom he is both extremely protective over and obsessed about. Gopher personally believes that he is the only one who can satisfy Noah. Justin also describes Gopher as always being uptight. He later demonstrates a tendency to bite his top lip whenever he becomes enraged.
-----
* CrazyJealousGuy
* DeathGlare: Subverted; he tries, but just achieves a [[{{Narm}} ridiculously pouty inverted-V face]]. Unfortunately for Death the Kid, his pout is silly, but [[BerserkButton asymmetrical]].
** It doesn't look asymmetrical at first, but Kid could see the differences, they're near microscopic.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His face on [[http://www.mangareader.net/157-34060-14/soul-eater/chapter-65.html this page]]. Wow, just... wow.
* FanNickname: Waffles.
* LargeHam: "NOAH-SAMAAAAAAAAA!"
* LoveMartyr: Again, to Noah.
* {{Yandere}}: To the point of parody. Gopher seems to think ''everyone'' is a rival for "Noah-sama's" affection.
!!Table of Contents (TOC)
A small, unassuming creature that acts as a guide inside the Book of Eibon, leading its visitors through the book's chapters until they reach enlightenment or madness. [[spoiler: It's actually the book's "intelligence" and Noah's puppetmaster, and desires to take the Kishin for itself so it can "educate" the world with Asura's madness.]]
* AffablyEvil: Its motivations certainly aren't good, but it's still polite, helpful, and true to its word.
* EldritchAbomination: A relatively minor and benign one.
* EvilMentor: [[spoiler: It wants to be one of these for the ''whole world,'' corrupting everything with the knowledge and secrets that Eibon locked away.]]
* [[spoiler:Madness Mantra]]: [[spoiler: A quite epic one:]]
--> [[spoiler:"I want to give guidance. I want to teach. I want to point. I want to show. I want to guide. I want to inform. I want to teach. I want to instruct. I want to explain. I want to enlighten. I want to initiate. I want to introduce. I want to instruct. I want to educate. Anyway...I want to teach".]]
* [[spoiler:TheManBehindTheMan]]: [[spoiler: Is revealed to be the one behind Noah's actions (and who created him in the first place.]]
* TomeOfEldritchLore: It essentially ''is'' one.
* VerbalTic: Depending on the translation, "squideed" or "outdeed" for "indeed," followed by a hasty correction.
!!Mifune
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/76117_7110.jpg
-->Voiced by: KenjiroTsuda (JP), RobertMcCollum (EN)
A samurai with a soul so strong that it counts for ninety-nine souls by itself. Black Star was about to take his soul but stopped when he saw how Mifune was protecting the young witch, Angela. He acts like a big brother or even a father to Angela.
------
* AntiVillain
** Made even clearer in the anime, in which his soul is blue (i.e. uncorrupted).
* {{Badass}}: Undeniably so.
** BadassLongcoat
** BadassLongHair
** BadassNormal: When you consider that he isn't a Meister or Weapon, he becomes even more badass. As impossible as it may be.
* BadassAndChildDuo: The badass to Angela's child.
* BlueEyes: Manga only.
* CoatCape
* [[spoiler:DisappearsIntoLight: His death in the manga.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai
* {{Field Of Blades}}: It's called "Infinite Sword Style" for a reason.
* FriendToAllChildren: ''His primary motivation''. Just in case, y'know, him being an AntiVillain wasn't clear enough.
* HairOfGold: Manga only.
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MasterSwordsman
* MoralityPet: Angela.
* OralFixationFixation: A straw.
* {{Samurai}}
* SimultaneousBladeSpam: Mifune can do this with his "infinite sword style" moves. Not only can he trap his opponent by pinning them down with sme of his many swords but he can make each sword strike multiple times by making them vibrate.
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation]]
* WorthyOpponent: To Black?Star.
* WouldntHurtAChild
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Anime only.
* [[spoiler:YouKilledMyFather]]: [[spoiler:Anime only, in which he is responsible for killing Black?Star's father, White Star. Subverted in that he doesn't die. Also, Black?Star holds no grudge against Mifune for that specifically, as he knows [[CompleteMonster his father]] deserved what was coming to him.]]
!!The Clown
Insanity incarnate, it was born as a result of the madness Asura released into the world. Maka and Soul first encountered it in a twisted factory where it tried to drive them both insane, but they defeated it with Maka's anti-demon wavelength. It escaped, and has since allied itself with Noah's team and with Justin Law in particular.
Recently, Medusa has [[spoiler:taken to creating her own artificial Clowns: the Black Clown, which has similar capabilities to the original, and the Violet Clown, a "portable" model shaped like a crescent moon that defends her from insanity and amplifies her attacks]].
------
* TheCorruption: It and the Black Clown spread insanity just by existing.
** In turn, the Clowns rise from the corruption of Asura's insanity. [[spoiler: Asura's dwelling is ''packed'' with them.]]
* EldritchAbomination
* ItGotWorse: There is now a bunch of these things running around.
* MindRape: Pulls a particularly nasty one on Maka.
* MonsterClown: On top of being scary as hell, its body is so twisted that it's barely recognizable as a clown at all. Presumably, one look at it would make Death the Kid's head explode.
* Mooks: [[spoiler: Asura has his own army of Clowns.]]
** EliteMooks: [[spoiler: Gekkou, Shirahoshi and Kaguya are basically this, since they are more powerful than the other Clowns and have their own powers. Others appeared later.]]
* NotQuiteDead: After being cut in half by Maka's Demon Hunter, it revived, freaked them out one last time, and disappeared. The attack apparently caused some lasting damage, because now its head is even more deformed than usual.
!!Eibon
-->Voiced by: YasuyukiKase (JP), ChristopherSabat (EN)
The mysterious creator of BREW, the Eternal Spring, and the Book of Eibon, among other demon tools. Eibon was one of Shinigami's eight warriors, alongside Asura. Not much else is known about him.
------
* [[spoiler: TheAtoner]]: Anime only. [[spoiler: He sided with Arachne to save his lover from death, and turns himself into the key to unlock BREW for Shinigami to use when he failed.]]
* TheFaceless: Due to wearing several masks and an ornate robe during his only comfirmed appearance.
* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination]]: [[spoiler:Called a Great Old One, along with the other Eight Warlords]].
* TheEngineer
** TheSmartGuy: He represents the Madness of Knowledge.
* {{Necromantic}}: In the anime.
* ShoutOut: To ClarkAshtonSmith and, by corellation, HPLovecraft.
* [[spoiler:SoulJar]]: [[spoiler:The anime incarnation hid himself inside the Key of Eibon.]]
!!The Flying Dutchman
-->Voiced by: YasunoriMatsumoto (JP), PhilParsons (EN)
The Dutchman is the soul of the ship Nidhogg, who fought Death the Kid while collecting souls for the Kishin. He later appeared as a factory which housed The Clown. Ultimately, he was destroyed, after being toyed with by Blair.
------
* GeniusLoci: A ship, and, later, a factory.
* NiceHat: Of which he is very protective.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Dude looks like an evil Muppet...
* SelfDestructMechanism: His second form included one that would actually kill anyone who touched it; he tried to goad Blair into pressing it by claiming it would kill ''him''. However, Blair tricked him into pressing it himself, so he died, taking the factory with him.
!!Rachel Boyd
-->Voiced by: HoukoKuwashima (JP), CarrieSavage (EN)
A little girl who lives in Shibusen with her parents. [[spoiler: And becomes Medusa's host unwillingly.]]
-----
* [[spoiler: AdultFear: Your cute five-year-old (insert: daughter, sister, cousin, ward, neighbor, etc.) goes pets a stray dog while walk down the street. After that she starts talking to herself while watching TV for way too long and acting like a zombie. Later that night you have a glimpse of a super creepy viper, and your little girl cries and claims to have seen it too. The morning after, she keeps acting creepy and kills a spider with her own hands... and starts talking like an adult and acting cold to you, addressing you as if you were a stranger. And ''then'', she vanishes right in front of your porch, and you can't do anything abut it. '''Yikes.''']]
* BarrierMaiden: Sorta. [[spoiler: Medusa not only possesses her, but uses her as a hostage: yeah, she ''did'' promise to leave Rachel's body, but it doesn't mean she can't use Rachel's age and pawn condition to her advantage.]]
* CreepyChild: [[spoiler: Not her fault. Dammit, Medusa.]]
* [[spoiler: EvilCostumeSwitch: She wears a black dress similar to Medusa's own when possessed.]]
* [[spoiler: FilleFatale: Sorta, since Medusa keeps acting as TheVamp while in the poor little girl's body, doing so specially to drive Stein and others mad. [[{{Squick}} Aaaaaaauuuugh]].]]
* [[spoiler: GrandTheftMe: On the receiving end.]]
!!Ahab
A weapon who takes the form of a giant harpoon gun. He is traditionally wielded by a different person for his village's annual [[GiantFlyer sky whale]] hunt.
------
* CoolOldGuy
* HandicappedBadass: He's got a peg leg. Not that it stops him any.
* TheHunter
* MeaningfulName: He's named after Captain Ahab of ''MobyDick''. But unlike his namesake, who hunts one particular whale out of revenge, this guy hunts one ''type'' of whale for the genuine threat it poses against his village, and the world for that matter.
* StudentAndMasterTeam: He's far older and more experienced than his meisters, and guides them during their hunts.
