The story begins on Monday, March 1st during a day of orientation for new students. Among them is a young girl named Kami Okubo, who begins to meet new people as soon as she finishes her first steps up the Academy’s infamous staircase. However, her first day isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Right in the middle of it, an incident revolving around “The Bloody Shield” happens, and it seems a group called The Zeta has started to become active.

** We all know Spirit and Franken are gonna break up, Kami is gonna become his partner, she’s going to rise up in the ranks to become the top of her class, and make Spirit a Death Scythe.
** Speaking of Franken, no matter how many badasses get their chance to show their credentials, he’s going to graduate with the title of the [[WorldsStrongestMan strongest meister in Academy history]].

** Edward and Rukia suspect that Noel’s got one or something to make him act the way he does.
** Francis has the first official one. He literally had a MoralityPet in the form of a bird named Lana. Then some assholes had to go and kill her before his very eyes while giving him a BreakingLecture. It’s why he is so detached and rude.

* GratuitousLatin: The Zeta ends their demonstrations with the phrase ''absit invidia'' which means “let there be no envy or ill will.” The Zeta are basically asking listeners to not interpret their words as hubris or offensive.

When they move to clash, finally going all-out… Cyra appears out of nowhere in grand, GenkiGirl style to interrupt the fight. You can almost ''hear'' the record-scratch sound effect going off.

They stare at each other, and Spirit tries to act cool… but the ShipTease moment is interrupted when Rosalind blitzes Amagai in the face. Naturally, Kami goes to check up on her first friend.

* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: When it’s just Kami and resident superathlete Rosalind during the dodgeball game, Kami introduces herself as part of a gambit to catch Rosalind off-guard to finally end the game. It works.



* TheRival: Spirit and Roger, and that’s before Kami entered the picture.



* ShoutOut: The maiden name given to Kami in this story is Okubo. As in Atsushi Ohkubo.
* VagueAge: Meta example. In the author notes for Chapter 3, the author laments this trope in regards to the canon Soul Eater adults, praying that the ages he gave them here don’t break the readers’ WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.

''Soul Eater Zeta'' is a SoulEater fanfic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1244313/CertainDestiny CertainDestiny]] that can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10942508/1/Soul-Eater-Zeta here]], [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/3100997/chapters/6718520 here]], or [[http://grade-amasterpiece.deviantart.com/art/Soul-Eater-Zeta-Chapter-1-503537827 here]]. ''Soul Eater Zeta'' is a prequel to ''SoulEaterTroubledSouls'' and one (albeit fanmade) to the ''SoulEater'' series itself, set 23 years in the past.

The story begins on Monday, March 1st during a day of orientation for new students. Among them is a young girl named Kami Okubo, who begins to meet new people as soon as she finishes her first steps up the Academy’s infamous staircase. However, her first day isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Right in the middle of it, an incident revolving around “The Bloody Shield” happens, and it seems a group called The Zeta has started to become active.

Like with ''Soul Eater: Troubled Souls'', ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10830606/1/Soul-Eater-Saeculum Soul Eater: Saeculum]]'' is supposed to help explain and/or expand upon stuff that may be glossed over in the story itself.

This fanfic is divided into the following story arcs:
* Adjusting to School Life Arc (Chapters 1-ongoing)

!!This fanfic contains examples of the following tropes:
* AcademyOfAdventure / ExtranormalInstitute: Death Weapon Meister Academy, natch.
* AllThereInTheManual: Similar to how ''SoulEaterNot'' was to ''SoulEater'', ''Soul Eater Zeta'' provides some extra information to help flesh out the setting in ''Soul Eater: Troubled Souls'', such as how curriculum and career choices are handled.
** And, of course, the author has his [=DeviantArt=] account to provide character profiles and glossaries.
* AltumVidetur: The Zeta ends their demonstrations with the phrase ''absit invidia'' which means “let there be no envy or ill will.” The Zeta are basically asking listeners to not interpret their words as hubris or offensive.
* [[AnimalWrongsGroup Demon Weapon Wrongs Group]]: The Zeta.
* AntagonistTitle: It’s too early to tell, but it appears The Zeta are the core antagonists in this story named “Soul Eater Zeta.”
** According to the author in Chapter 4, their logo is in the main image!
* DoomedByCanon: Don’t get used to ''any'' Vladingham or future Vladingham in this story.
* {{Fanon}}: The name “Kami” actually comes from a mistranslation. But, you know, don’t let that stop you.
* FantasticRankSystem: Just like in canon and the original fanfic, Meisters and Weapons can be ranked either Three-Stars, Two-Stars, or One-Stars (highest to lowest). NOT students are Zero-Stars.
* ForegoneConclusion: As a prequel to both a fanfic and the source material, some things are inevitable. The question is how it’s going to happen, if it’s going to be shown.
** We all know Spirit and Franken are gonna break up, Kami is gonna become his partner, she’s going to rise up in the ranks to become the top of her class, and make Spirit a Death Scythe.
** Speaking of Franken, no matter how many badasses get their chance to show their credentials, he’s going to graduate with the title of the [[WorldsStrongestMan strongest meister in Academy history]].
** Every Death Scythe shown as students in this prequel will (or should) become Death Scythes in the future. Nobody else, nobody new.
** Noel will get better. Much better.
* MoodWhiplash: In the very first chapter, no less! Things are going good, Kami getting admitted like normal. Then, bam! Two students get knocked through a wall, and everyone starts freaking out when the [[TheDreaded The Bloody Shield]] enters.
* OCStandIn: Kami is a proper example given that she’s TheGhost in canon.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Kami. [[ForegoneConclusion Won’t last]] [[{{Prequel}} long]].
* OriginalCharacters: Amagai, Rukia, Noel again… If you’re reading Troubled Souls too, this shouldn’t be a surprise.
* {{Prequel}}: To ''SoulEaterTroubledSouls''.
* SempaiKohai: Amagai and Rukia are sempais to Kami.
* ShoutOut: The maiden name given to Kami in this story is Okubo. As in Atsushi Ohkubo.
* VagueAge: Meta example. In the author notes for Chapter 3, the author laments this trope in regards to the canon Soul Eater adults, praying that the ages he gave them here don’t break the readers’ WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.
