Soul Eater
Chapter 63: I'm Gonna Be An Angel

3
Soul: You really think we can pull off a thing like that?
Maka: Well, you're a Death Scythe now... / I - I'm sure flying should be simple enough...
Marie: Just because Soul-kun has become a Death Scythe... / ...doesn't mean you can fly just like that. // Maka-chan... your soul takes the Grigori form, said to appear in only one in fifty million people, yes? // The advanced wavelength control that a Death Scythe gains from the witch's soul it has obtained can give rise to magical abilities. If you can use that to manifest angel wings, then you may be able to fly. That's all. // And of course, consuming a witch's soul also grants a Death Scythe a number of special abilities. You have a lot of training ahead of you! // Attempting to achieve flight by mastering your wavelength control is a good starting point. / So good luck with that, little angel!
Maka: [aside]a... a... "angel"...!![/aside] // All right~~!!
Soul: Maka, an angel...?

4
Maka: And what's so wrong with that, huh? / [aside]it would be nice to be called an angel once in a while![/aside] / With Ox-kun going around calling Kim an angel just like that and everything...
Soul: .................. // Well... // If you like, I guess...?
Maka: You're kind of pissing me off...!
Marie: Kim~! Jackie~! Thanks for demonstrating~!
Kim/Jackie: Sure~!
DeathScythe: What's that? You know I'm always saying you're my little angel~~~~!
Maka: I don't want to be called an angel by you. / ...And when did you get here...?

5
Marie: There's nobody better than Spirit-sensei when it comes to controlling soul wavelengths and women, so I asked him to come help.
DeathScythe: Hey!!
Marie: Well, get ready, you two!
Maka: 'Ka~y...
Soul: We're gonna do this, Maka.
Maka: Yeah.
Jackie: So this is Soul-kun as a Death Scythe...
Kim: Y - Yeah...

6
[no text just he doesn't exactly look too different]

7
Soul: ......
Maka: ......
DeathScythe: All ready now?
Maka: Y... Yes...
DeathScythe: In order to maintain a high level of wavelength control, the Weapon and Meister have to focus on a common image. / For now, let's use the image of Kim and Jackie flying that you both just witnessed.
Maka: An image of flying...
Soul: Maka...
Maka: Yeah...

8
Kim: The scythe blade shrank?
Marie: Form manipulation is basic for a Death Scythe. / They must have decided the blade was inconvenient for flying.
DeathScythe: Very good. Now synchronise your souls' wavelengths and form a mental image of "wings"...

9
Soul: Wings... Wings...
Maka: Wings... Wings...

10
Maka: (Ahh... / That's different from my image... it's not very angel-like at all...) // !! // W... We left the ground?!
DeathScythe: Very good... Very good, Soul!! Go on - picture Maka like a real angel!!
Soul: A... Angel~?!

11
Soul: [aside]ehhhh~~~~~?![/aside]
Flashback!Maka: The hell was that?!! // What the hell is that supposed to mean?!! // Grahhh!!
Maka: !! // Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!
DeathScythe: Ahh!!
Maka: [aside]Gahh?![/aside]

12
Kim/Jackie: Oh, dear...
Marie: Mmmm... I guess it's not that easy, huh...
Maka: What were you playing at?!! Idiot!! You suck!!
Soul: The heck? Why's it gotta be my fault?

13
Maka: And what was with those wings?!! All spiky like that...! / Can't I have some nice big, fluffy cute ones?!!
Soul: Does it really matter as long as we can fly?
Maka: I want proper angel wings!!
Soul: Man, you're demanding... // Besides, what's up with this sudden angel obsession? Just because you've apparently got this Grigori soul or whatever... // Is it that big a deal? Seems pretty stupid...
Maka: What's wrong with you? You idiot!! I wish I'd partnered with Ox-kun instead of you!!
Soul: Huh?! / What's Ox-kun got to do with this?!! / Heck, he's a Meister, isn't he?!
Maka: That's not what I'm talking about!! Idiot!
Soul: Enough of the "idiot" already, jeez...
DeathScythe: Well, this is a mess...

14
Stein: !!

15
Stein: ......!!
BlackStar: Tch... / I can't hit him...
Stein: (What a wavelength... if he hit me with one of those, even I couldn't neutralise it completely...)

16
Stein: (Ugh... I was focusing too hard on his Soul Force attacks... // When it comes to pure physical combat, he's actually outdoing me... // Have you really grown this much... Black☆Star...?) // Still...
BlackStar: !! // (Left-handed......?)

17
[no text just blackstar getting owned]

18
Ox: ............ / Are they not going a little too far for a sparring match...? / [aside]should we stop them...?[/aside]
Kilik: No... // For fighters of their level, even this is just practice.
BlackStar: Dammitall... // How did you hit me? // If a Soul Force blow hist its mark, it explodes... so rather than going for an outright hit, it's more like you're just trying to make contact... You don't just use it for finishing blows, but as a starting point from which you can move on to other attacks... / I get it... / But I'm not at the level where I can just fire off Soul Forces one after another like you can...
Stein: That's where practice makes perfect, Black☆Star. / Repetition... Practice... It's the only way.

19
[Box: Shibusen Firing Range]
Liz: Nice one, Patty!! // Keep it up!
Patty: (Eheheheheheh!)

20
Patty: Ahahahaha!♪
Sid: ............ // (Her grip and her form are all over the place, but she's certainly hitting the targets... Going out of my way to correct her could just make things worse... I'm really not sure how to handle a case like this...) // Good going... Keep it up...!
Patty: Die!! Die!! // Ahahahahahahahahahah!
Liz: Take them all down, Patty!
Sid: ......
Patty: You got it, Onee-chan! Sonofabitch!! Motherfucker!! Yee-hah!!
Sid: (Can I not switch with someone else...?)

21
Tsubaki: Ngyaaahh~~
Harvar: Looks like we've... // ...got nothing to do, huh... // I'm bored...
Tsubaki: I'm gonna eat you all up~~!♪
Kids: [aside]aaahh~! nooo~![/aside]

22
Shinigami: Lovely, lovely~~! // Looks like everyone's working hard~~! // Mirror, mirror, on the stand~! / Could you connect me with Azu-nyan~?
Mirror: KILL KILL KILL DIE DIE DIE // *ka-chunk*...
Azusa: Yes? / Yumi Azusa speaking.

23
Shinigami: Don't suppose you've found any clues on where Justin-kun might've got to~?
Azusa: No... I'm afraid not. We will continue our investigation, but we still have yet to uncover the slightest lead...
Shinigami: According to Stein-kun's speculation, chances are high that Justin-kun is linked somehow with the man who abducted Kid...
Azusa: I see... // So uncovering Justin's location may be a shortcut to retrieving Kid from his captor... // Understood. // I will give the investigation into Justin Law absolute priority. / Still, why would he...?

24
Gopher: Do not screw around with us!! // Shinigami...
Noah: Gopher... That will be enough, thank you.
[TN: His(her?) name presumably comes from "gopher wood", the traditional Biblical term for the wood used to build Noah's Ark.]

25
Noah: Kid... // I would ask that you refrain from organising the contents of my book without permission... // With all the bookmarks I had placed in it... // ...it may have appeared disorderly, but I actually found it rather convenient to use.
Kid: Hmph. / If you plan on keeping me inside the thing, the least you can do is keep it organised in a tidy fashion.

26
Gopher: You do not answer back to Noah-sama. / Know your place, Shinigami!
Noah: Gopher...
Gopher: But...

27
Noah: Gopher!! // Must you persist in damaging my collection? I fear it is you who should be told to "know your place".
Gopher: ......... // My deepest apologies.
Giriko: Great show, keep it up! Makes a great side dish for my drink.
Justin: It's not healthy to be so uptight, you know, Gopher-san.

28
Justin: And Kid-san... you too should learn to simply go with the flow once in a while rather than dwelling on regularity. // My, how scary... / Are you trying to exact penitence from this betrayer?
Kid: Don't make me laugh. // I envy you those earphones you always seem to wear. // With those, I wouldn't have to listen to the nonsense you fools spout.

29
Noah: Gopher... go and make preparations...
Gopher: Yes, Noah-sama...
Kid: !! // Wait!! What are you planning now?

30
Kid: You scum! // Just you try laying a finger on Maka!! You'll regret it, I promise you!!
Gopher: Surely you get lonely here all on your own? Perhaps the stiffened corpses of your friends would help stimulate your neurotic little mind?
Kid: ......... / Accursed fools...

31
Kid: Maka... Be careful...
Maka: An angel, huh...

32
Soul: Come off it...
DeathScythe: Maka, Soul.
Soul/Maka: ?
DeathScythe: I have something to tell you.

33
Gopher: I am the only one who can satisfy Noah-sama.

34
Gopher: You just wait, Maka Albarn...
