I just love how Medusa backs up in fear from the two's awkward conversations, Death picking her up by the hood, and Spirit fangirling with cuteness overload over baby bloomers underwear. Tbh that would be me too in her shoes, XD.
The way Lord Death keeps picking up Medusa is hilarious and the way she gets triggered by it is so funny😂 I love how they keep treating her like a child here. It’s the only time where I genuinely find her adorable.
@@andrewsung3965 she can fight but likely lose but her plan was to be a guest and make a deal and let them see in a good light when not knowing it a trap not for them to fight but her to gain a weapon
This episode is the only one I've seen that actually humanizes Medusa somewhat. She's basically the main character of this episode, we see it almost entirely from her point of view and even hear her internal monologue. We get to see that, in this position, her usual confidence is only a front. She's capable of being afraid, angered, of feeling vulnerable, of doubting herself, and being genuinely unsure of what the future has in store for her. She was banking on the good likelihood that her information is too important to Death for him to not take the deal (and possibly his unwillingness to harm the child she's possessing). However, with even the small possibility of Death deciding she's too dangerous to be let go at any price or even further deciding that eliminating her outright (along with Rachel) is a necessary evil, that cell made her feel more powerless than she probably ever had been in 800 years. It's little things like this which makes a really good villain. If she was just a caricature of pure evil with no humanity whatsoever, that wouldn't be very interesting. The fact that she can be empathized with, that there is an actual person behind those reptilian eyes, yet she chooses to be as monstrous as she is anyway makes her just that much more terrifying.
Yep, you are so right there. Feels like that just doesn't happen enough with anime villains nowadays... Personally, it's really hard for me to find an anime or even just other movies where the villain isn't just like "Yeah, I'm fully confident in absolutely everything I'm doing, keeping a dull straight face or a smirk until I finally get destroyed by the protagonist" Just nothing but full on confidence in what they're doing and not enough humanity. I really hate that. Even classic Disney villains had a likable amount of personality and humanity even if they loved the evil deeds they were committing.
What is more bizarre is that luci is also the voice of ochaco uraraka from my hero academia. And even more, John swasey (the voice actor of death) also voices all for one.
9:05 Gotta say, I didn't expect Lord Death to give Medusa the Reaper Chop so unexpectedly! It was hilarious watching her go from cocky and sure of herself to wimpy and fearful in the span of just a few seconds! Ironically, this is the ONE scene I remember from watching this anime years ago!
@@bella_daze3092 Damn right she did! I'm just surprised that I came out of nowhere as it did. Sucks that she got let off the hook afterwards by manipulating Death into letting her go. It would've been more awesome to see her killed for her treachery! Cus of course girls always get off easy.
1:00 you can feel how PISSED Maka is at Medusa. She’s not pissed at Medusa for what she did to them, she is but she’s mainly pissed at Medusa for what she did to Crona. If I was Maka- I would be too. I’m glad Soul was there to help keep Maka’a cool, despite how much he’d like to be angry with Medusa as well.
Because most viewers (myself included, sadly) never noticed the voice actors, until those nasty pricks tried to frame Vic. Then for a while everyone started paying a bit more attention and OMG WTF WHAT WHY OMG AND VIC IS THE ONE FIRED?!? WTF?!? I haven’t heard anything on Vic since, hope he’s doing okay. Crunchyroll pretty much is embracing being scum by rehiring those sh*t nasty incestuous lying conniving VAs that had him out. Anyone could have come in to do the voices, it didn’t need to be those sh*tbags.
@@Norinia Yeah, that situation was just sad as hell. And it mad me want to put my fist through my monitor multiple times. Man got framed for the most asinine thing, and no one but Todd Haberkorn actually did anything about it, and as a result he also got dragged in, and got hurt because of it. It’s a really shitty situation, and it’s a sad example of how some people (the people who framed Vic, and later on Todd) shouldn’t be given a platform, and shouldn’t be given access to caring, supportive, and easily persuaded fans.
@@Ram_Minus I was disgusted when a bunch of coverists willingly did a charity cover with Chris Sabat. He was right there with Monica, pushing that bullshit that Vic was a monster (and he had the f*cking audacity to have as his ‘quirk headline’ *”I was your childhood”* f*cking egotistical jackweed) When all along, in his own personal studio, he had those nasty Dragon Ball Incest porn they made together. F*cking nasty freaks who were so quick to shove someone under the bus to try to cover what they themselves did. They should have been let go with Funimation disbanding. They could have found different Voice Actors who would be just as good, if not better. Yet they keep the incestuous nasty creeps who lied over and over, just to destroy an innocent man’s life.
They were right repetition is the foundation to humor. I laughed hard the first time, I didn't laugh as hard the second but I died the third time. Three really is best.
4:28 I feel so bad for Stein, at the same time I have to admit this legit made me laugh lol. Spirit's just standing there for a good couple of seconds (possibly longer) watching Stein freak the fuck out before finally saying something. Oof, that's embarrassing. Also the way he treats Stein a little like a misbehaving puppy, telling him "Get out of hear Stein, you know you shouldn't leave your lab right now." And then the way Stein just makes that weird "I dunno" noise with that demented smile on his face while shrugging his shoulders, idk it's somehow both cringe and really funny. 😂Fuck Medusa for what she did to poor Stein but holy shit 8:24 is hilarious, the whole conversation she has with Death and Spirit basically just trolling her and taking advantage of her being in a small child's body lol. Medusa definitely deserves it after she abused her own child to the point of insanity and basically treated them like nothing but a tool to be used and discarded. Also for how she drove poor Stein insane.
While I enjoy the soul eater anime, I can't help but be kinda of annoyed with the changes done. In the Manga medusa actually offer to guide the dwma to her sister hideout, this of course was a trap to regain a new body. Still love the anime just wish the kept the actually reason why she would go to th dwma for help.
Idk I think this is more interesting. She's manipulating them without doing any actual trickery. And it kinda works. Her sister ends up dead and Death is gravely injured, and the DWMA would've fallen prey to Asura's power. If not for Maka, Medusa would've been the victor at the end of this struggle.
@victorconway444 Wow, this is a super late reply, but hey, whatever. While I see your point, the following events (in the manga aleast) are very important Medusa wins the battle and gets scot free with a new body takes crona and begins even more intense experiments, she helps set off the second act. The soul eater anime unfortunately leave off a LOT of important info but oh well
It would've been better if Medusa fell of the stairs when they were releasing her and there were a lot of people looking .. Gotta see that bloomer one more time..
I don’t Before you think me heartless I remember what happened concerning rabbits and crona So no I don’t feel sorry for Medusa even just a little bit Although I hope the actual kid was ok and didn’t feel it
What is it with parents and embarassing children with baby bloomers underwear? Meh they look adorable anyway. I can even see Stein and Marie treating their child like that. I can even see grown up Soul, Maka, Tsubaki, Kid, and Patty, maybe Liz doing that too.
Spoiler alert but it doesnt matter now probably.. his soul is fixed on the city of death.. he cant leave the city.. Only if the whole city would move with him
