DEATH THE KID. [Hooray for symmetry!~]

Meister Template

The Basics

Name: Death the Kid, or Kid as referred to by most.
Age: Unknown.
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Kid is always dressed in a refined manner, mostly because of his status. He limits his main wardrobe to a standard black business suit with white rectangles, until later on in the anime series when he is seen wearing a white coat instead of a black one. The rectangles are placed in a manner that is completely symmetrical. There are at least two small rectangles along the seam where the sleeves attach to the jacket, and four small shapes that are either rectangles or squares run along the front of his jacket. It is possible that these shapes could be replacements for buttons. His undershirt is a formal white dress shirt, and a metallic skull rests under his collar, and could be used as a tie. His color scheme is meant to copy his father's, where the only color variation between black and white is the color of his eyes. When going out on missions, Kid will typically cover himself in a cloak and mask that makes him look like a smaller version of his father. The reasons behind this is unknown, but it could be speculated that it is to show his rank as the son of Death.

Kid's most notable feature is the three white lines that cut across the left side of his hair, stopping in a completely straight line along the front and back of his head. They are the Sanzu lines, and they act as limiters to his power. When one or more line becomes connected, his power increases exponentially. Kid, however, greatly hates these lines because they throw off his physical symmetry. Mentioning these lines will send him into a fit of depression, during which he curses his own existence. In the third episode of the anime, Kid's soul is shown as a red color and has the three white sanzu lines, representing his asymmetrical bangs. Later in the show, however, his soul is shown to be blue with a skull shape and the three Sanzu lines marking him as a Shinigami.

Another noticeable feature would be his eyes. Kid's eyes are two different shades of yellow, ringing around his pupil. The outside ring is a bright yellow while the inner ring is a dark yellow, similar to the color of gold. The reasons behind this double-coloring is unknown, though many simply attribute it to the fact that he is a Shinigami.

Personality: Kid suffers from obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, or OCPD, which is shown as an obsession about everything having to be perfectly symmetrical and takes the idea of perfection to the extremes. To him, anything symmetrical is beautiful and if it is off by any measurement (a picture frame off by millimeter, or a pose that is slightly out of place), he will try to correct it right away, even if the situation calls for utmost attention. His favorite number is 8 because of its symmetry. He is so obsessed with symmetry that Kid refuses to fight a battle unless he has both Patty and Liz together, as they would not be symmetrical apart. The biggest problem Kid has is with his hair, because the left half of his bangs are marked with three white stripes. He has attempted to dye his hair all black to cover his asymmetric Sanzu Lines; however, due to his body being that of a Shinigami, it rejects the hair dye and soon returns to normal.

Showing Kid anything that is too asymmetrical or mentioning his hair will send him into a state of massive depression, which normally takes encouragement from Patti and Liz to break. As shown in episode 3, or Chapter 0.3, because the Pharaoh's coffin was symmetrical Kid wouldn't fight back, because he would ruin the symmetry. In the most extreme of cases, Kid will cough up blood and faint; this is usually set off by his hair being cut, or completely failing to make something symmetrical. If he sees anything perfect or symmetrical get broken or destroyed, or an opponent who is not symmetrical, it will send him into a blind rage (surprisingly similar to his father's previous violent personality) where he will unload all of his power to either destroy the offensive sight or kill the person who ruined the symmetry. It is also because of his obsessive-compulsive personality disorder that Kid finds Liz and Patty's weapon forms much more appealing than their human forms. Because Kid was born a Shinigami it was never required that he train a weapon, and he was offered many partnerships in the form of arranged marriage although he rejected them all, purely because using any of them would break his symmetry.

However, his obsessive-compulsive outbursts aside, Kid is actually quite serious and sophisticated, and can be quite cool-headed in battle if the concept of symmetry doesn't enter his mind. Despite his prim and proper attitude, he does exhibit a few boyish characteristics from time to time, like when he is chasing after the runaway express in the desert, and he chooses to do skateboard tricks on the sand dunes whilst doing so, and he is quite happy to play basketball along with the rest of his team. He also cares for his friends, as he is seen expressing concern about Soul's scar at one point, and also threatens Gopher that he will never forgive him if he hurts Maka.

It is mentioned by Maka that it is normally hard to match soul wavelengths with more than one weapon, but Kid is able to do so because he, Liz, and Patti have a mutual admiration for each other. Kid admires Patti and Liz's positive souls due to his negative personality, while Liz and Patti admire Kid's dignified soul.
His father has mentioned that Kid is a shinigami and does not need to collect souls, but Kid says he wants to make a weapon of his own. His father also says that since he uses two weapons and the guns do not count as a set, he will have to collect twice as many souls: 198 evil kishin eggs and two witch souls instead of 99 souls and one witch soul.

The Powah

Abilities: Naturally, Kid has excellent gunning skills as he uses the Twin Demon Guns as his default weapon of choice. He holds his guns in an unorthodox manner, by holding the guns upside-down and pulling the triggers with his pinkies. Kid has been shown to be able to maneuver around with his guns, adapting to any situation that opposes him. In addition, his weapons have the ability to compress his soul wavelength and fire it at will. Rather then normal bullets, he fires pink soul wavelengths at the target. This also allows him to blast his soul wavelength through the opponent, shown when used against Soul and Black*Star in their first encounter. The attack was more of a dark-like 'stream' of energy that fires through the enemy, though it won't open a hole through the opponent or his/her clothing.

He has a flight-capable skateboard called Beelzebub, which he uses as a form of short distance transportation, though it could be used for long distance as well, as seen to be used for flying to Egypt. One of his capabilities is that he has a notable Soul Perception, far above the other Meisteirs in Shibusen, excepting Maka, whose ability is superior to that of Kid.

As he was born a Shinigami, Kid's potential power is technically far above that of his fellow Shibusen students. However, the details of Kid's, or his father's, nature as Shinigami have not been revealed. Both share a skull motif (in Shinigami's mask and Kid's rings and neck-tie) and dark, vaguely monstrous, shadows appear around them when either use their abilities, such as Shinigami attacking Asura and Kid using Soul Resonance.

Shinigami Abilities: A number of Kid's skills come from the fact that he's a Shinigami.

• Body of a Shinigami: Kid's body is that of a Shinigami, so naturally most things that effect the human body are trivial in his case . He is unaffected by most weather conditions such as the UV Rays the sun emits which can be harmful to the average person. He is also unaffected by natural poisons, relevant because he attempted to dye his hair in order to remove the three white lines but failed. It can be assumed there are many more benefits, those of which that are unknown.

• Sanzu Lines: Not much is known about the Sanzu Lines, other than they are represented by the white lines in Kid's hair. He hasn't been able to fully control the Sanzu Lines, but we know that he unlocks great powers when he does. He also showcased new abilities, like upgrading the caliber of Kid's shots from Patti and Liz from .38 to .42 and changing their gun shapes to visually match the Israeli made Desert Eagle. The Sanzu Lines seems to be directly linked to the Shinigami Special abilities, as he was able to access some of his father's abilities after connecting one line. Each time a line connected, a crack in Shinigami's mask followed, its unknown what Shinigami will suffer when all 3 lines connect.

• Shadow Skull Arms: Similar to his father, Kid is able to produce black skull-like arms out of his body, although they seem to be slightly smaller than his father's version. Unlike his father, Kid has only used the arms once, for a supportive purpose rather than an offensive one, using one of them to reattach his arm, that got severed in his fight with Mosquito. He is able to use them after connecting the first Sanzu Line.

• Konso: This ability allows Kid to store souls and hold them for later use. Kid was in the process of using this technique to store a number of souls The Flying Dutchman had captured but did not actually get the chance to use it. This is most likely the same ability Shinigami uses whenever he confiscates souls from students or how Arachne's soul was saved for Soul until he got his 99 Kishin Egg Souls.

Proficiency: Speed, endurance, sight, strength, flexibility.

The Weapon(s)

Your Weapon's Name(s): Elizabeth Thompson & Patricia Thompson
Weapon(s) Appearance(s): Liz -

Spoiler:

Pat -

Spoiler:

Weapon Powers:
[Elizabeth or ‘Liz’] - If Kid is not with them, she can use her sister's weapon form and vice versa, though it is slightly less effective than if they would be utilized by Kid. Unlike her sister, Liz appears to be more focused and better at sharp-shooting than her sister. This goes back to when they were in Brooklyn, where it is implied that Liz was more often the meister with Patty being the weapon. It is currently unknown about any other fighting capabilities.

[Patricia or ‘Pat’] - If Kid is not with them, she can use her sister's weapon form and vice versa, though it is slightly less effective than if they would be utilized by Kid. While acting as a meister, Patty's method of hitting her target can be described as chaotic and disheveled. Her grip and form are all over the place, but still, she manages to hit her target while practicing in the Shibusen Firing Range.
Because she is a weapon, Patty was never able to showcase her athletic capabilities. During sparring matches, Patty was shown to be surprisingly proficient in hand to hand combat, being able to take on five opponents in a row without any drop in form, including but not limited to Ox Ford and Kim Diehl. Nygus stated that it seems shame to keep her as mere weapon, and Ox Ford & Harvar D. Éclair compared her to Maka in pure athletic ability. Harvar even goes as far as to speculate that Patty is stronger.

Soul Resonance Appearance:

Spoiler:

Soul Resonance Abilities:
o Dark Needle: A seldom seen attack of Kid's that is also one of his most powerful. A giant black blast that leaves behind a series of skull-shaped smoke.

o Death Cannon: Kid's Soul Resonance attack. When activated, Kid's lower arms are covered with metal and resemble cannon barrels. Three black spikes come out of each of the upper arms. He then charges his attack and fires two giant blasts of energy from the cannons that impact with the opponent, leaving behind a series of skull shaped smoke. In the anime, after all three Sanzu Lines connected when Kid was near death, his Death Cannon became two oversized cannon barrels, shooting a soul wavelength strong enough to destroy the larger-than-life Asura and reverting him back to his original form.


In-Depth

History: Death The Kid is first introduced while in the process of conducting a mission. After failing the mission to capture Lupin the thief due to his obsession with symmetry, he speaks to his father, Shinigami-sama, and decides to go after the witch, Samantha, who is controlling mummies at the pyramid of Anubis. Upon arriving, Kid begins to worry about the symmetry of a picture hanging in his room back home. Kid leaves his weapons, Patti and Liz Thompson, alone in the pyramid, along with all the mummies, by themselves. The sisters manage to defeat the mummies but are later captured by the Pharaoh. When Kid eventually returns, he finds that his partners are being held captive. After successfully releasing them, Liz and Patti transform but Kid doesn't fight as he realizes that the Pharaoh's coffin is in perfect symmetry. The Pharaoh beats the unwilling Kid down. Kid then lays on the ground as the Pharaoh prepares for the final blow. The Pharaoh comes out of his coffin to end it, but Kid notices nothing symmetrical about it anymore but the smiley face jewel on his forehead. Kid then gets up and shoots everything down but the smiley face, defeating the Pharaoh, however, in the process he destroyed the pyramid of Anubis and as punishment, Shinigami takes all the souls he's collected.

Shinigami and Death the Kid, are both seen watching the battle between Black Star, Maka and their weapons against Sid. They soon discuss who it was that killed Sid and turned him into a zombie. With the culprit now revealed to be Dr. Stein, Shinigami then explains that not only was the current Death Scythe, Spirit, originally raised by Stein but that he was the strongest student to ever graduate from Shibusen.

Kid is later seen watching the battle between Stein and the Shibusen kids. He is shocked at the revelation and personally believes that they will all die at the hands of Stein. As the battle proceeds, Kid is astonished by Stein's masterful use of wavelength without the use of a weapon. Kid is soon unable to watch the onslaught brought on by Stein and wishes to aid them, but is stopped by his father, who states that this is for Shibusen students. Kid then decides that, henceforth, he will be a Shibusen student.

On his way out of his father's room, Kid is seen stumbling as he believes he forgot to fold the edge of his toilet paper into a triangle. Patti and Liz try to help him but all their attempts are in vain.

There is constant talk regarding Kid enrolling at Shibusen. Black Star, being the person that he is, is angered that there is someone who is talked about more than he is. He then proceeds to go outside and wait for Kid to appear. Kid, however, is three hours late, as he spent the entire time making certain that everything was perfectly symmetrical before his departure. When Kid finally does arrive, he immediately begins to admire the supreme symmetry of the school building; however, he is quickly devastated when Black Star ruins the symmetry by standing on and breaking one of the spikes protruding out the main skull structure. This greatly angers Kid and he prepares to do battle with Black Star and Soul.

During battle, Kid uses his twin pistols with great dexterity and handles both Soul and Black Star with extreme ease. The fight soon attracts the attention of the students inside the school; leading to Maka, Tsubaki and Stein having to go outside to deal with it.

During the battle, Black Star and Soul decide to attempt to actually work together as a weapon and meister pairing. Despite their attempt, it fails horribly with Soul landing on Black Star in scythe form and Black Star being unable to lift Soul due to the horrible connection they have between their souls.

Angered by their failed attempts, Soul and Black Star choose to break up as partners but to stay as friends. While they are hugging, Kid shoots them both in the head. As the two get back up, they decide to renew their attacks on Kid, but separately this time. Black Star manages to grab Kid’s leg and pulls him onto the ground, and Soul seizes the opportunity to slash at Kid. Kid narrowly avoids this and breaks free from Black Star's grasp, all the while pulling Black Star into an embarrassing blow to his head. Kid responds to this barrage by performing a soul resonance with Liz and Patty. He then gets into Execution mode and performs Death Cannon. This creates a large explosion that knocks both Soul and Black Star out.

Kid, surprisingly, loses consciousness too for seemingly unknown reasons. It is then revealed by Maka that, when Soul attempted to slash at Kid, he had cut some of Kid’s bangs, with Kid not noticing the broken symmetry until after the explosion. Soul and Black Star both agree that this was their "win from behind".

Shinigami later appears to pick up and attend to Kid, who is still unconscious from the broken symmetry.

As punishment for not gathering any souls from the extra lesson, Black Star is tasked with cleaning up the entirety of a library. However, instead of completing the task, he starts reading manga, and proceeds to make noise while doing so. It is at this moment that Death the Kid finds him there. Kid is at the library to borrow books, with his main purpose being to read about the holy sword Excalibur. Kid is fascinated by its possible symmetry, while Black Star is by the fame it entails. Their interest is piqued further after they hear from Stein that Excalibur was impossible even for himself. With that, they go search for the sword.

Eventually, they reach Priten Island, North Part. Their first obstacle is to climb a large cliff. Kid easily does so by riding on his Beelzebub. Black Star is forced to climb it bare-handed. After Black Star climbs it, he soon reaches the cave and sees Kid hanging off of an obstacle. Kid begs Black Star to carry him, because he does not want to step in water. Eventually Black Star gives in and carries Kid. While walking through the cave, they pass by a fairy. They inquire her about Excalibur. She instantly makes a disgusted face after she hears them say the name. The two soon reach the sword’s cavern and are impressed at the sight it. Kid is especially fascinated by its beauty. When both try to pull it out, they are surprised at how easily they were able to. Excalibur then begins talking to them and changes into his human-like form.

Kid and Black Star are amazed over how ridiculous Excalibur’s human form looks. Excalibur quickly begins to ask the boys trivial questions, while at the same time not giving them time to respond. On top of that the manner in which Excalibur waves his cane around and referring to his own legend quickly angers Black Star. It is even revealed that the book of Excalibur was written by Excalibur himself. Excalibur then gives them a large amount of sheets, delineating all the things one must do to be able to wield him. After giving them the stack of papers, Excalibur finally declares them his Meisters. However, immediately after they hold him, the two put him back into the ground and leave in disgust.

The following day, Black Star and Kid meet each other while walking down the hallway in the school. The two shake hands because of their good partnership. Kid then notices that some of the other students are laughing at them. The reason is because Excalibur has sent a pair of giant gifts to them, with the message “I’ll always be waiting for you".

Kid is with his two partners, along with Black Star and Tsubaki, in Maka and Soul's apartment. They had all just finished eating Maka's food. Kid then compliments Soul for having a nice, clean apartment. He then asks if just Maka and Soul lives here. This question was answered when Blair makes an appearance, in a bath robe, and asks if anyone would like to take a bath with her. Blair's robe then falls off; Kid is astonished and Soul suffers the typical nose bleed.

Stein issues a very important written exam for the class, with rumors being spread that whoever passes with the greatest score will make or become a Death Scythe. This being Kid's first test in the school, Patti tells Kid to do his best. Kid, however, replies that because he is a Shinigami, he already knows all he needs to about the subject of souls.

At his house, instead of studying, and while checking up on Patti and Liz, Kid notices that Liz is plucking her eyebrows. He asks if he should be the one who plucks them, so her right and left eyebrows match perfectly. Liz rejects his offer, because it took Kid a month last time. Kid then begs Liz, until she accepts. Before Kid even works on them, he begins to draw a design.

The day of the test arrives and several moments after the test begins, Kid is seen stuck writing his full name--believing it is not beautifully written. Even after the hour had almost passed, he is still trying to write his name. This time, the "K" in "Death The Kid" is spaced wrong and has to rub out the letter lots of times, after numerous failed attempts. It is at this point that he starts to cry, stating that he is garbage and that the letter "K" has abandoned him. However; as he is viciously rubbing his mistake out, he mistakenly rips the test paper; horrified by this, he coughs out blood then propels off his chair, onto the floor and passes out (symmetrically).

In the end, Kid failed the test with zero points.

Kid arrives, by boat, to the Babuto Seashore, reported to have had it's entire town swallowed. The information was released by the villagers who survived the event. Kid then points to a fog, sensing a large amount of souls in that location. Immediately, a large ship emerges from the fog — the Nidhogg. After crashing into the large ship, Kid and his two partners board it. While on board, kid begins to canvass the ship and soon discovers a room crowded by souls. Kid decides to save the souls using his shinigami powers but is stopped when the Flying Dutchmen emerges from underneath Kid and shoots at him. Kid narrowly dodges this shot, and in the same instance, Liz falls and is swallowed by the ship. The Dutchman explains that the ship and he are the same and that they walked into his stomach. Kid inquires the Dutchman on the large amount of souls. Dutchman replies that they are for the Kishin. He then shoots at Kid, who dodges it. Patti tells Kid she will transform but is rejected by Kid. The two are then chased outside the room where they meet Liz. He finally tells the two to transform and begins to do battle with the Dutchman. But, before he can do anything, the Dutchman is attacked by Crona, who then proceeds to cut him in half. After that, Crona immediately begins to draw out the souls from within the ship and allows Ragnarok to consume them. Kid is astonished and positions himself into his "Stance of Sin" form, with the intention of executing Crona.
Kid and Crona begin battle. Kid easily overwhelms Crona, delivering countless shots to Crona. The Dutchman, still alive after being attacked by Crona, interrupts the battle by attacking Crona and Kid with cannons. When the smoke clears, Kid notices that Crona's spirit wavelength is expanding. Crona then proceeds to perform Screech Alpha, destroying the ship. Crona then uses the chance to escape. Kid withdraws his Beelzebub and gives chase. Halfway through the chase, Kid is distracted by the the symmetrical view of the sun and sky, letting Crona escape.

Kid eventually reaches Shibusen and tells Liz and Patti to go back to the mansion. Kid visits his father and inquires him on the Kishin, wanting a full explanation from his father.

Kid is seen with a depressed look on his face when Maka and the others enter the room. When Maka asks what was wrong, Kid changes his expression and soon notices that Black Star completely neglected his outfit. Kid then welcomes everyone to the commemoration. After Shinigami's short speech, Kid begins his own speech, but is constantly interrupted by Black Star's obnoxiousness. It gets to the point where Kid kicks Black Star in the face and thus the two begin fighting, with Kid ending up in his depressed state for his ruined speech.
Soon the party is ruined by Medusa, who escapes, and with Free while trapping everyone in a cube that separates them from the rest of the world.

It was due to Sid performing his Compulsive Burial that Kid and his partners, along with Maka and Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki, and Stein through the ground and away from the imprisonment. Once the group reach the bottom, Stein informs them of Medusa's goal. Afterward, he asks if anyone wishes to leave, as the battle ahead will be dangerous--everyone prepares to fight.

On their way to stop the revival of Asura, they are interrupted by a visit from Maka's father, Spirit and, after some speaking, joins the group. Eventually, Medusa appears, with the intent of being a hindrance. Stein tells the kids to go on ahead, while he faces Medusa. After some trouble, Kid, along with Black Star and Maka, manage to pass by Medusa's attacks.

While Kid is on his way to the Kishin's chamber, he is slowed down by the bombs of Eruka along with his OCD having an effect on him. After being galvanized by Patti, Kid forces himself past the explosives.

Once again, when he reaches closer to the Kishin's chamber, he begins to sense the insanity of the Kishin. Liz asks Kid about the Kishin. Kid then explains that the Kishin was defeated by Shinigami, who then proceeded to rip off Asura's skin and seal his soul within in, though had forgotten about Asura's blood. The conversation, however, is interrupted by a blast from Free. The two then begin to battle, though midway into it, Kid is distraught by the unsymmetrical ruins surrounding him. Thankfully, Black Star makes an amicable appearance and brings Kid back to reality. The two then work together to defeat Free.

While Black Star is attacking Free, he begins to take notice of Black Star's futile attacks. This eventually ends up with Kid concluding that the Free they see is a mere illusion. After insulting Black Star for not realizing this after being so close to Free, the two leave.

Eventually, Kid makes it inside the Kishin's room. His first sight is the Black Blood Eruka is carrying. He goes to attack, but is blocked by Free. Before Kid could retaliate, he is stopped by the Kishin's insanity--forcing him to hallucinate. He eventually returns to reality by recognizing that the hallucination is caused by the Kishin's insanity, He then goes to attack Eruka once again, but is again blocked by Free. Black Star then appears. Kid tells Black Star to stop the Black Blood from being injected while he keeps Free in one place.

Black Star's efforts proved to be fruitless, though, as the Black Blood was injected. Kid explains to Black Star that, while proceeding to slice the needle, his concentration was so high that he used the sixth sense of sensing wavelengths. This facilitated the illusion.

Kid is now forced to witness the awaking of the first Kishin. He begins to shoot the sack of skin, though his efforts were futile. Kid also witnesses Black Star's fruitless attempts at defeating the Kishin. With the simple swipe of a hand, Black Star is blown away. Kid then tries his luck again, but he, too, is defeated by a simple tap on the head and knocked unconscious.

Patti and Liz are seen carrying Kid after the Kishin escapes from Death City.

The kids are seen preparing to play basketball. Due to a shortage of one player, they force Maka into joining the game. Soul brings up the idea of a bet, for each of the teams' respective captain to follow if they lose. If Kid's team loses, they will put the paintings on Kid's walls in his mansion off by 2 cm; if Maka's team loses, she has to go shopping with her father. Ultimately, Kid's team wins, and Maka has to go shopping with her father, to Kid's obvious relief.

Kid is seen in class with the other students. He painfully watches the training session between Stein and the students he selected, with Black Star — one of the selected students — being repeatedly electrocuted by Ox

Kid and the others are at a large party. Kid notices Crona and comforts him/her about the hectic company. He tells Crona that he/she could open up and get use to everyone at his/her own pace.

Later on, he retrieves Patti and Liz for a mission, commissioned by Shinigami himself. The mission is about an express train thought to have infinite energy, as it has not stopped for over 100 years. Kid then says that a demon tool is located within it. They then head to the Sahara Desert and to the train station. They notice a passenger waiting, but pass it off as someone sightseeing. After a while, Kid becomes disappointed that the train doesn't appear and will most likely be late. Immediately, the train bursts from the ground like a large snake, passing by the abandoned station right on time. On the train is an Arachnophobia assassin, named Fisher King. Immediately, the person they'd believed was sightseeing reveals to be the youngest Mizune sister as she releases her soul protect and pursues the train, but not before leaving a bomb to hinder Kid's movements. Kid releases his Beelzebub and gives chase.

After a brief scuffle and a few skateboard tricks, Kid manages to board the train. Fisher King tries persistently to stop Kid from advancing, such as separating the cars. This proves to be useless, as Fisher King--to avoid an attack from the Mizune Sister-- jumps onto the wrong car, separating himself from the Demon Tool in the process. When he swings over to the proper car, Kid uses Patty and Liz to grab Fisher and board the car as well. The two then begin to battle, with Kid easily dominating him. The battle soon reaches the room housing the demon tool as Kid eventually finishes him off. When Kid is about to open the vase containing the tool, the injured Fisher King explains that the demon tool was created by Eibon, and then states that both Eibon and Shinigami are the same. He tells Kid to open the box containing the demon tool. Kid is astonished as he opens the box that within the vase is both Shinigami's and Eibon's signature on it. When Kid inquires what all this means, Fisher King is struck and killed by a Knife thrown by Sid before he receives any response. The African branch tells Kid that they can rest at the camp. Kid, however, is left perturbed.

Kid is in the Shibusen library researching all he can on Eibon. When he fails, he asks the receptionist for a level 4 book relating to Eibon. The receptionist, however, is unable to get the book as it was already borrowed by a person who only left the letter "M" as their signature. Kid thinks that it was Medusa.

Kid is with the other students being taught by Stein to perform a team resonance. Stein explains how important it is and that he'll drop any team who fails to perform it. When they finally begin, the team experiences trouble. Soon, Maka begins to blame Black Star. Ultimately, Kid had to end the argument before it erupts. However, he is unable to stop them once they argue again, as Soul stops Kid, telling him to let them settle things themselves.
When Maka cools off, the team begins again, and are successful. Later on, Maka confronts Black Star and tells him to punch her as penitence for her outburst. Black Star happily agrees and does so, much to Kid's surprise.

Kid, Maka, Black Star, Ox, Kilik, and Kim and their respective weapons is the group of kids chosen for fighting to obtain Brew before Arachnophobia.
When the grownups take too long to appear, the group begins to worry. Ox, Kilik, and Kim decide to stay behind and take care of the forces opposing them. With that, Kid, Black Star, and Maka enter the vortex. The first thing they notice is Shinigami.

Kid explains that what they see is Shinigami from the grim times, before he built Shibusen. The group then hurries to the pyramid. When they reach, they notice a large mass of witches--one of them being Arachne. The group proceeds and soon meet Marie and Stein. Because Marie and Stein are overstaying, the kids decide that they will take on the mission of retrieving Brew.

They eventually bump into Mosquito, who is carrying Brew. He then reverts to his form from 100 years ago and prepares to battle them. Before the battle can start, however, a hologram of Eibon appears. Black Star decides not to waste time and attacks Mosquito, ignoring the presence of Eibon. Eventually, Kid brings himself to ignore Eibon and attacks Mosquito too. However, none of their attacks are penetrating Mosquito's tough hide. Mosquito then uses his immense strength to overpower the kids. Luckily, Soul comes up with the idea of team resonance and augmenting it with his music.

Soul plays the piano, giving the kids a rush of power, enabling them to maneuver flawlessly around each other without saying a word. They are easily able to overcome Mosquito with both their synchronized speed and strength. Kid manages to connect a death cannon, which destroys both of Mosquito's arms. However, before they can finish him off, Soul stops playing, advising them to leave as their time limit for staying on the island is almost up.

They leave and watch how the Pyramid is destroyed by an explosion, though that, too, was a hologram from years past. When they exit the vortex they are greeted by a distraught Marie, who hugs them all for making it out safe, but soon threatens that they will all have a talking with her back at Shibusen.

Kid is outside the Shibusen Infirmary with Liz and Patty, waiting for Black Star. When Black Star exits the room, he asks if there were any lasting effects from being within the field for too long. Black Star replies that he is fine. Kid says that he, himself, has a god's body, so he does not need an examination. Upon hearing this, Black Star jumps outside and breaks one of DWMA's pillars, with the intent of galvanizing Kid into a duel — though at first Kid shows some concern for Black Star thinking he is going to hurt himself by jumping off the balcony of DWMA. Kid agrees to this, with the intention of punishing Black Star for ruining the symmetry of the school.

During battle, Kid notices a difference in Black Star, stating he has become weaker. As the battle continues, Kid tells Black Star to stop fighting, though Black Star refuses, retorting that Kid should kill him. Hearing this, Kid quickly goes in and delivers brutal hits onto Black Star, eventually knocking him out. Kid wonders what happened to Black Star.

Kid is teamed with Maka for an extracurricular activity. When they reach the location of the mission, Kid refuses to use the entrance Maka plans to use and instead leaves Maka so he can find a proper entrance. While searching for an entrance, Kid begins to worry that he hadn't folded his toilet paper back home into triangles, the pictures frames being crooked, and the height of his candles being unsymmetrical. This prevents him from catching up with Maka and all hopes of it ultimately gone when Liz decides to go back home when she becomes frightened by the scene of the place.

Kid is with other officials outside Chupa♡Cabra's to prevent the witches from escaping the grasp of Spirit and Sid.

Kid is there to reveal to everyone that Kim was a witch. When Maka asks where he received the information regarding Kim, Kid replies that it was from Medusa.

Kid and his two partners are chosen to be Medusa's bodyguards for the operation, while Maka, Killik, Ox, and their respective weapons were chosen for the assault squad. After the operation details are discussed, they proceed with the mission, towards South America Amazon River Basin. When they finally head into the castle, the group camps out. The next day, they continue and soon meet Eruka, who gives them Arachnophobia uniforms to disguise themselves with. When the group makes it into the center of the castle, they find that everyone is dressed exactly as they are. Soon, they all become confused and eventually lose each other--each getting into their own trouble. Kid and Soul are given the unfortunate act of amusing the witch Angela, while being forced to pretend that they can't see her, as she strikes them below the belt, so to speak. They soon meet up with Medusa and are thrilled.

Medusa begins to discuss the plan: Taking down all eight locks preventing people from entering Arachne's room. After performing Vectoral conduct on them, Medusa leaves them to follow the arrows pointing to their lock. Kid is given lock 8.

On his way to Lock 8, Kid meets up with Mosquito, and soon Free ends up there too. Free asks if this is the location of lock 2. Kid replies that it is not. Free is distraught by this. Mosquito interrupts by stating he won't allow them to succeed. With that, Free and Kid decide to work together to defeat the common enemy at hand, with the condition that if one was able to go attack the lock, leave the other behind to do it. Mosquito turns into his form of 100 years past and the three begin battle.

Kid and Free easily overwhelm Mosquito, who then reverts to his form of 200 years past. Though this, too, only turns the tides towards Mosquito's favor for only a moment, as Kid and Free manage to overwhelm him in this form, too, with a combination of Free's ice attacks and Kid's gun style. To finish him off, Free freezes Mosquito and Kid and Free perform Death Cannon and Demon Eye Cannon, respectively. This combination leaves Mosquito gravely injured. Recognizing their strength, Mosquito reverts to his 400-years'-past form. In this form, he manages to cut Free in half and cut Kid's arm off under a second.

Mosquito begins to insult Kid, his father and Shibusen for their incompetence. Kid is angered by the repeated diatribes toward his father and Shibusen. Somehow, in the midst of the conversation, the BREW Kid held is activated--connecting one of Kid's Sanzu Lines and unlocking Kid's dormant shinigami powers. Immediately, Kid's arm is reattached by his power. With this new surge of power, Kid begins his Stance of Punishment and continues his battle with Mosquito. Kid uses this new power to upgrade his pistols from from .38 to .42--increasing their caliber.

Mosquito performs his Darkness Discord, though that proves effective for only a moment, as Kid manages to shoot each and every one of the eight-thousand bats, but not without being gravely injured himself. Once this scene is over, Kid reverts back to his normal unsymmetrical self and, upon hearing the explosion caused by Free destroying the lock, Mosquito quickly goes to protect Arachne. Kid goes to follow him. When Kid reaches Mosquito's location, he finds that Mosquito is about to do battle with a mysterious man.

Kid hides behind a wall and listens in on the conversation between Mosquito and the man, the revelation of the man calling himself Eibon was actually Noah, and the death of Mosquito at his hands. Upon seeing how easily Noah defeated Mosquito, Kid tries to escape but is easily found by Noah. Noah prepares to suck Kid within his book. Kid throws Liz and Patti out of the way. Both of them watch Kid get captured by Noah.

Kid is next seen within Noah's book as Noah is leaving the area. Kid senses the insanity being spread by Arachne and says that he will have to believe in the others.

Kid hears the conversation among Noah and his group--specifically on them planning to assassinate Maka. Kid is disgusted by this.

Kid is seen being assaulted by Gopher for rearranging the bookmarks of Noah's book. When Kid makes a comment about Noah's disorganized way of placing bookmarks, Gopher once again attacks Kid for talking back. Upon hearing Noah giving Gopher the orders to prepare for the assassination, Kid threatens that they will regret it if they ever hurt Maka.

Gopher barges into the room where Kid is being held after he fails to kill Maka. Kid proceeds to make a snide comment on Gopher's failure. This results in Gopher kicking Kid and continuing to assault him off-screen.

Kid is shown being punched by Gopher, who asks him why he doesn't beg for his life. Kid laughs and asks why he should beg for such a dismal effort. Gopher makes his 'pouty face' and Kid laughs and says he enjoys Gopher's frustration. He then realizes that Gopher's expression isn't symmetrical, and begins to scream for somebody to save him.

When Gopher realizes Kid's weakness, he begins to take advantage of it, by ripping off one of Kid's sleeves and finally drawing on only half of Kid's face. Kid is clearly distraught by this.

Gopher continues his torturing of Kid, taking special care as to do so on only one side. Before he could continue, Noah appears, reprimands Gopher before sending him off to retrieve some tea and sucking Kid back into the Book Of Eibon. Inside the book, Kid quickly wipes off the drawings on his face and rips off the untouched sleeve to regain his symmetry. It's not long before Kid discovers a large mass of darkness. He is astonished that Noah had hid that in his book and grows anxious for someone to save him.

Kid is face-to-face with The Black Mass. Kid recognizes the wavelength and likens it to Asura. The mass speaks to Kid, calling him a fragment, and reveals that he is a member of the 8 Warriors as are Shinigami and Asura. He reveals that three of the warriors were eaten by Asura and those that now remain, himself, Asura, Shinigami, Eibon, and one other of whom Kid knows. In light of the revelation, Kid inquires about the whereabouts of Asura inasmuch as he is a warrior. The mass is not pleased by Kid's hasty questioning and responds by asserting the fact that he is not Kid's ally, nor anything else. As he utters these words, he says that the existence of the 8 Warriors drive men to madness whilst drenching Kid with a black, liquid-like substance. Quickly, Kid is consumed by darkness. He musters a smile and remarks on this new feeling.
He seen floating in darkness, commenting on the darkness and likens it to nothingness, and in as much as there is no left nor right, is a unity that exceeds symmetry insofar that it is the zenith of order. The nothingness, shared amongst all living things is death. In light of this, he concludes that he must eliminate everything to create the "order".

He then speaks to the Mass--telling him his goal to create the ultimate symmetry, the ultimate unity: nothingness. The black mass then tells him to try out his new-found power of madness, and Kid agrees. It is here he is confronted by his friends and appears ready to do battle with Black Star. Kid invites Black Star and the two confront each other with Black Star saying that he will bring Kid back even if he's gotta drag him back.

Finally, he and Black Star face off in an underwater-like landscape. The two fight, and Kid admits to Black Star that he is "big" and must be destroyed in order for Kid to make "nothingness." Just as Kid prepares a counter, the Black Mass gets in the way of Kid, to his disapproval. The Mass then turns to Black Star and asks him, "What is the 'power' you seek?"

Black Star seems to have gained a new power from the black mass, and finally Kid and Black Star begin to fight. Several physical attacks are thrown, and then Kid activates one of the Lines of Sanzu. Then he blasts Black Star in the stomach and continues beating him. After Black Star gives him a few words, he punches Kid and sends him flying upwards. The both continue to kick and throw punches at each other and Black Star tries snapping Kid out of his insanity, saying that trying to make nothingness is the same as saying that balance is too hard for Kid to deal with, so he's trying to take the easy way out. He also argues that he does not have to be insane in order to be powerful.

Elsewhere, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, and the others await Black Star's return. During this time Liz remembers how she and Patty first met Kid, and how he saved them by thugs and how he had them be his new partners. She and Patty had been planning on using Kid's 'Shinigami status' to gain the money and power they craved. However, the more time they spent with Kid, the more they grew to care for him, a fact Liz realizes after watching Patty laugh herself to tears. She thinks of how she and her sister hadn't cared about anyone but themselves before then, and if 'they had been killed by this shinigami'. It begins to rain money down on the group, and Liz thinks to herself that she doesn't care about money, all she wants is for Kid and Black Star to return safely. Patty and Tsubaki ask if she's ok, and she begins to cry, saying that she hadn't thanked him yet. Patty and Tsubaki simply smile and pull her into a hug.

Back to the huge battle, where Black Star is talking to Kid once more, saying that while he may be using the power of insanity to become more powerful, losing himself to the insanity is nothing but a joke. "I figured it out," he says. "What I want to do once I get ultimate power in my hands." The scene quickly ends after the black mass appears, saying that he will no longer listen to their definitions of power.

Kid begins to think of the answer to power. He begins to go through what death gods are supposed to do, and realizes that Black Star is right, and thanks him. Black Star waves it off, saying that it was expected of him, since they were friends, and says that friendship is the only part of life not controlled by symmetry. Black Star then tells the black mass that, while his answer was "power" and "strength", but he was going to use his ultimate power to help Kid create the ultimate world.

The black mass quickly said that what they were talking about was political terror. Since Black Star had lived through the seven deadly sins, he asks what it would be called if you add one more to the sins. That is the answer to their question, it says. Kid replies that those with power are those who create order, those with power are those who make the standards for justice.

"The 'justice' that is too old is evil. And with time it drives people mad... Shinigami and us gave birth to Asura." The black mass replied.

Black Star makes fun of the black mass. He instead says that they weren't alone, that there were Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, and many others. Especially Maka and Soul. Kid says that Maka and Soul can do things that they cannot do. The black mass reveals that he can help them all escape the book.

The scene changes to outside Noah's base, where Stein, Marie, Sid, Tezca Tlipoca, and Nygus are about to enter the building. As Tezca opens the door, however, one of Noah's worm creatures attacks and eats his left arm and half of his torso. Another attacks Stein, and Sid gives up his arm to save Marie from a third worm. Noah attacks them again, talking about how they weren't worth adding to his collection. Justin appears and attacks Marie, talking to his god. After knocking Marie and Nygus unconsious, he looks up to the sky and crys out, "Hey God!"

Noah quickly traps Stein and summons a new creature he calls the Manticore, which looks like a cross between a scorpion, a dog, and a human. When he summons it, however, it helps those trapped in the book escape. The children are, at first, oblivious to their surroundings, but are quickly horrified by the states of their teachers, who tell them to run. Kid demands to know who attacked them and he, along with Black Star, attacks the Manticore. The scene ends with Kid stating, "In the world that I imagined you do not exist. I'll enforce your death penalty," with a murderous glare aimed at Noah.

Using the power of Madness to gain an edge over Noah and his powers, Kid, Black*Star, Kilik, along with Maka and Soul, battled Noah together. Soon overpowered by Noah's most powerful beast, Kid realizes that his powers alone would not be enough to defeat Noah. Noah soon goes off about ruling everything when Kid proclaims that his way of ruling everything isn't beautiful but that the balance of things is beautiful. Thanking Liz and Patty for helping him and hoping to continue helping him in the future, Kid unleashes the power of the Sanzu Lines and utilizes the power of the Coffin Construction and the power of the Parent's Seven Lights to defeat Noah's most powerful beast he kept in his book. Kid finally destroys Noah, though Gopher manages to escape with the Book of Eibon

RP Sample: It was raining outside, and Berthold had a bad day, yet again. His heart seemed to sink lower than usual when it rained... it rained the day he left Germany. His parents went to some school he did not know or care about to talk about registering him there, he sat there in the office and said nothing, just nods here or there to show them he was alive... For the most part. The principle and staff seemed rather nice, but it was still not the same to poor Berthold. People looked at him walking in the hallway and he got strange looks, the kind new kids always get. You think one would get used to standing out, but not when you look like Berthold, you are new, and you are from a different place entirely. He kept his eyes focused on his notebook with scribbled quotes from books, ignoring and avoiding the crowd of beady eyes following him.

When they were driving to what Berthold thought was the house he would be dwelling in with his parents, the car stopped at a strange looking apartment building. He unglued his eyes from his book to see his new home and his eyebrows drew together. His parents never told him about this. "This is where you will be staying, your father and I are going to be in a house not too far from here." His mother said rather shortly before turning around in the seat and handing him a schedual and his room number. Berthold's eyebrows now rose slightly in shock. How could they not tell him this?! "Go on, don't make this harder than it needs to be, we don't need a repeat of Ger-" His father began before his mother cut in, "Not now!" she growled.

Berthold could not take another second of them, they were going to start bickering, and he would not stand to listen to them. He looked to his right and grabbed his shoulder bag and threw it over him, grabbing the schedual and room number at the same time. Without a word, a goodbye, or even looking at them, he got out of the car and slammed the door shut. He walked forward to the building and opened the door, walking in revealed a rather nice looking lobby. He heard his parents drive off, they were probably still going on. He walked past a few girls in the lobby, they began whispering as he did so, but he kept his eyes on his notebook. He decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator, it made him feel better and he did not know why.

When reaching the 4th floor, he only then realised he did not look at the room number. Berthold unfolded the paper that was angrily crumpeled earlier in his right palm. He opened it, and on the small paper was "404" scribbled in his mothers hand writting. He crumpeled it again and shoved it in his pocket. he began to wander the halls, looking at the numbers. He passed by each door, studying them carefully, 400's numbers were slightly faded, 401's door had scratches on it, 402's door was so clean it almost sparkeled, and 403's door was painted black, Berthold wondered why. Finally, he had come to 404 and stopped. This door looked normal, no markings or scratches, the normal color. It seemed sort of perfectly. Slowly, he brought up his hand and knocked on the door, clutching his books in his right arm, and fixing his shoulder bag with his left. He relaxed his left arm and let it rest by his side casually and stood with his back straight, staring ahead at the door, waiting for someone to answer.
