This script is public, and available for use in scanlsation, if credit is provided. This is retroactive to all Soul Eater scripts I have posted.

p.1
[sidebar] A presentiment of battle / against Arachnophobia...!!
[Frame 1] It appears that Arachnophobia has located one of Eibon's creations, Demon Tool "Tempest", nicknamed "Brew". If they gain possession of it, they'll attack Shibusen with it
[Frame 2] Soul Eater*
* this is the stylized tetris-block looking text
[Frame 3] The enemy will come in force to obtain "Brew". Stein-kun, this will be a big battle, so it's imperative that you help the students progress in the duel arts
* Note for Typesetter: the text in the bottom is related to the magazine and isn't important

p.2
[Title] Chapter 33: Duel Arts
[Frame 1] The fist is what communicates / the heat of the soul
* Note for Typesetter: the text in the bottom is related to the vol 8 tank release and isn't important

p.3
* Note for Typesetter: the text at the top says: 'Continued on p.61' and isn't important
[Author] Ookubo Atsushi
* Note for Typesetter: this is probably better left unchanged so the cleaner doesn't have to redraw in color

p.4
[Frame 1] Shibusen Secondary Campus / Dark Sword... Respond to my soul...
[Frame 3] I need to understand the other existence within Tsubaki... / If I can do that, the Dark Sword will respond to me...
[Frame 4] You can feel it, right? Black*Star- along with me... there's another wavelength from my family...
[Frame 5] POCHA*
* splish

p.5
[Frame 2] What do you want... / Kid?

p.6
[Frame 1] My form is that of an ogre!
[Frame 2] Oi~ Black*Star~ / Oi~
[Frame 3] Ah, there you are / We're doing Team Soul Resonance practice as usual, so we have to meet up
[Frame 4] You'll hurt yourself if you overdo it / I won't be able to accomplish anything if I'm afraid of hurting myself from the start / Alright, bring 'em to the great Black*Star! / Let's go!!
[Frame 6] Yo, professor!! We're here / That's everyone...

p.7
[Frame 1] How's it coming, Black*Star? Has the Dark Sword become considerably more usable? / Before you answer that... / Have you been training using the "Soul Absorption Potion" I gave you? / Once you start using it you'll be able to better receive others' soul wavelengths...
[Frame 2] Oh that... / It was annoying so I just drank it all at once / What!?
[Frame 3] It made me sorta sleepy, but I withstood it... / What a reckless thing to do... I'm not sure whether even an average adult technician would survive if they did that...
[Frame 4] No big deal! / I'm a god, after all!
[Frame 5] Hyahahahaha* <= this star is in the text, not a comment

p.8
[Frame 1] Okay, that's enough talk... Let's hurry and start the training... / There are a few groups that can already perform team soul resonance. I'd like you to hurry so you don't fall behind...
[Frame 2] If you want to know why, it's because Arachnophobia has started to move vigorously... / We believe there will be a serious battle in the near future / By that time we'd like to be able to add your power to our own...
[Frame 3] We came out here to the secondary campus for the week with to prepare your duel arts for use against Arachnophobia, but... / You're not effective while fighting in front of the other students, / so though it's selfish, I'll sift you like wheat myself*
*T/N: This is a metaphor for separating the wheat from the chaff, the weak from the strong

p.9
[Frame 1] Any team that can't perform team soul resonance by the end of the day will be cut from my lessons. / Is that understood?
[Frame 9] Then begin.
[Frame 10] Do it properly, Black*Star... / I do it right every time...

p.10
[Frame 1] Let's go
[Frame 2] Yeah
[Frame 5] Kid
[Frame 6] Maka...
[Frame 8] We're resonating... / So far so good...
[Frame 9] Black*Star...

p.11
[Frame 1] KOOOOOO*
* resonance building
[Frame 2] PAN* PAN*
* crackle crackle
[Frame 3] It's no good...
[Frame 5] Shit...
[Frame 7] Let's go again. / Yeah.

p.12
[Frame 1] PAPAN*
* crackle
[Frame 2] ZUZAZA* / Another failure...
* resonance dissipating
[Frame 3] The cause is obvious at a glance... It's not working because Black*Star's soul wavelength is trying too hard to take the lead... However... Aligning soul wavelengths isn't all there is to it...
[Frame 4] Would you do it more seriously!? / I am...
[Frame 5] It's because you're always just doing whatever you feel like! / Try to match up with us, for once!!

p.13
[Frame 1] Why the hell do I have to match up with a blockhead? / I don't want such a shitty partnership
[Frame 2] What!? You!! / Stop it / Hyahaha
[Frame 3] There's still a long time before the day's up... Let's take a break / Rather than discussing it any more, I think it'd be better to go cool your heads
[Frame 4] BON* / As if I could have a discussion with a guy like this...
* angry

p.14
[Frame 2] TON* / sigh~
* thud
[Frame 3] It's strange... / Their progress has been quick up to this point...
[Frame 4] Sensei...
[Frame 6] If we continue like this, we won't succeed... / At this rate, I'll be cut from your class, and I don't want that...

p.15
[Frame 1] Please remove Black*Star from our team
[Frame 2] You came here just to tell me that?
[Frame 3] The one who's left the team is you / If you understand, hurry up and get back there
[Frame 4] Why!? The one who's dragging his feet is Black*Star! / He's always doing whatever he feels like...
[Frame 5] Then, are you trying to restraining Black*Star's power? / Who do you think the best attacker in your team is?

p.16
[Frame 1] Why is it always about Black*Star...?
[Frame 2] This lesson is about sensing something more fundamental... / If you don't understand that, then you should leave.
[Frame 4] ...I'll do it. / I want to be in your class.
[Frame 6] I'm grateful... / What am I in such a rush for...

p.17
[Frame 1] Then again... How much longer will I be able to teach them properly...?
[Frame 2] Well? What should we do? / Somehow, we're getting the picture, but...
[Frame 4] Maka...

p.18
[Frame 1] You went to tattle-tale to the professor?
[Frame 2] Aren't you just doing whatever you feel like, too?
[Frame 4] You-!! BATSU*
* preparing to punch
[Frame 5] PAN*
* block

p.19
[Frame 1] BITAN*
* slam
[Frame 2] I guess I can't say we're the same... I'd never get taken down like that...
[Frame 3] Hey, you two... Stop it... / Let them do what they want
[Frame 4] But... Soul...
[Frame 6] DATSU*
* rushing

p.20
[Frame 2] GOTSU*
* slam
[Frame 3] ZAGE*
* skid
[Frame 5] You satisfied now?
[Frame 6/7] Though it's you, Maka... / if you want to continue this, you'd better ask for a duel

p.21
[Frame 1] Because I'll really beat the shit out of you!!
[Frame 4] TOBOTOBO*
* hurrying away
[Frame 5] JIN JIN*
* brooding

p.22
[Frame 1] You shithead!!!
[Frame 2] Maka-chan...
[Frame 3] HIKU* / HIKU* / AHHHHHHHH!!!
* sniff / * sniff
[Frame 4] What happened? Why'd she split from her group? / That idiot bastard!! / DADADADADA*
* running
[Frame 5] KOTSUN*
* bonk
[Frame 6] Sorry, Tsubaki... Can you take care of it? / Yeah

p.23
[Frame 2] GUZUPI* / If only I were strong like that, not caring what happened...
* tearing
[Frame 3] TA*
* standing
[Frame 4] Is this seat taken?
[Frame 6] pat pat

p.24
[Frame 1] Hey, Tsubaki-chan... / Don't you dislike being swung around like that?
[Frame 2] Maka-chan, what do you think of Black*Star?
[Frame 3] He makes me sick
[Frame 4] I didn't say anything, but you see... / Black*Star... / he studies in advance for tests... / PUTSU*
* disbelief
[Frame 5] No way... Why does he always get zeroes, then?
[Frame 6] ...........I wonder... / It's harder to get 0 points than to get 100...
[Frame 7] If even you can't understand Black*Star, Tsubaki-chan, there's no way I can synchronize my wavelength with his...
[Frame 8] Is that so? You two always get along so well... / And is it so bad for friends to misunderstand each other once in a while?

p.25
[Frame 2] This lesson is about sensing something more fundamental...
[Frame 3] I... was in such a hurry, there was something I missed...
[Frame 4] That's it!! / DATSU*
* standing
[Frame 5] Tsubaki-chan, c'mon!! / PYON PYON* / Heh / Maybe there was no need for me to come here after all...
* jumping

p.26
[Frame 1] ZURU ZURU*
* drag
[Frame 2] But what kind of expression should I put on when I go back...? / Arguments happen all the time, so don't get caught up on something like that
[Frame 5] What...? Did you come to laugh at me?
[Frame 7] We can laugh* after we've mastered duel arts. / Everyone's waiting...
* T/N: 'Warai' can mean both 'laugh' and 'smile' and is really used in the latter sense here

p.27
[Frame 2] I'm sorry! / For screwing up the mood!!
[Frame 3] Yeaaaahhhh!!! Let's do this!!
[Frame 4] Yeah!!

p.28
[Frame 1] ZATSU*
* still
[Frame 2/3/4] KOOOOOOOO*
* soul resonance

p.29
[Frame 2] From now on we're comrades entrusting each other with our lives... It's obvious that we're going to have to care about each other...
[Frame 4] I can feel it...
[Frame 5] ...the power of the two coupled soul wavelengths...!!

p.30
[Frame 3] You can hear it, can't you? The soul wavelength... / It's become rhythmic... / That sound...
[Frame 4] Why won't you let me help you?
[Frame 5] You're a rude little troll, aren't you? / This is a really good feeling. / Shut up for a second.
[Frame 6] tap tap tap

p.31
[Frame 1] DOTSU*
* rumble

p.32
[Frame 1] There's no need to struggle to understand each other
[Frame 2] We should appreaciate the space between us
[Frame 3] and just believe...
[Frame 4] Even if you gather similar people together... / you can't just build a sound like this...
[Frame 5] It's still a work in progress, but... / You pass

p.33
[Frame 1] Maka is the leader of this team, huh...
[Frame 3] Thank goodness we passed / That time I made her cry was really serious, though... / Women have a lot of stuff on their minds, you know... / No, that was just me roaring!! Who'd cry in front of all those people!? That's shameful!
[Frame 4] That aside, Black*Star!
[Frame 5] What?

p.34
[Frame 1] Hit me.
[Frame 2] Huh!?
[Frame 3] Payback for when I hit you earlier. / I feel bad leaving it this way. / Wait a minute, Maka-chan...
[Frame 4] I'm not gonna do it halfway...
[Frame 5] That'd be meaningless...
[Frame 7] You know how to throw a punch? / Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
[Frame 8] You'd better grit your teeth... / ZAZA*
* sliding

p.35
[Frame 2] GAN GON BAGAN*
* thud thump crash
[Frame 3] You... hold back a little, will you? / Ah, man... that wasn't stylish at all...

[Frame 1] To say that "Brew" raises storms is apt... / ZATSU*

[Frame 2] All of you, listen carefully...
[Frame 3] Demon tool "Tempest" belongs to Arachne-sama! / We won't let Shibusen have it! / The enemy will be coming with Death Scythes to challenge us...

p.38
[Frame 1] However... / To say that "Brew" raises storms is apt...
[Frame 3] It's war!
