Just your average glossary
The Salvage Arc is the nineteenth named arc within the manga Soul Eater. During this arc, Death recruits witches to perform a spell allowing Spartoi to enter the Book of Eibon to rescue Death the Kid, while Noah moves forward with his plans to acquire everything.

"The Salvage Arc" contains examples of:

  • Gender Bender: A chapter features all of the main characters (as well as some other weapons and masters) being gender flipped. In context, they were experiencing the Seven Deadly Sins. In the Lust area, they became their own versions of lust. For example, Tsubaki is a tall Bishōnen, Maka is a straight-laced male student, Soul is a very stylish and feminine woman (Soul admits that he makes up his usual slacker look to look cool), and Black☆Star has an impressive chest (What other size would a person that loves attention that much have?). It's also worth noting that the twist of them being their own ideal sexualization has interesting ramifications for shippers. While Black☆Star is not quite the bishonen that Tsubaki is pinning for, he is certainly working his way towards it and Tsubaki certainly has the one ahem... aspect that Black☆Star seems obsessed with. However it is almost pathetically obvious with Soul Eater himself, whose ideal woman just happens to be the elegant small-chested woman that his "excitement" transforms Maka into.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: The Envy Chapter of the Book of Eibon delivers a harsh one to Maka. It's enough to reduce her to tears.
  • Seven Deadly Sins: How the main characters travel through the book of Eibon to rescue Kid, with each chapter being a different sin and affecting the characters differently. Lust Chapter for example, changes their sexes and appearance based on their sexuality's preferences.
