SO THERE'S THIS SWORD THAT'S STUCK... Kid and Black Star search for the legendary blade that cleaves the very heavens, Excalibur. What could possibly go wrong? If you've been watching Soul Eater this far, you know that the answer is: a lot. By the way, did you know that Excalibur's legend started in the 12th century?

The search for Excalibur starts out innocently enough as Black Star is sent to the library as punishment for his spotty performance in school-related activities. Here, he soon meets up with Death the Kid, who is searching for a book about the legendary sword Excalibur. By the way, did I mention that this sword's legend started in the 12th century?

Naturally, both are fascinated about acquiring the legendary living weapon, but for different reasons. Of course, any Soul Eater viewer can likely guess the motivation that drives these two goofs. With a little inside info from Dr. Stein, who apparently failed to truly wield the sword, Black Star and Kid set off on their grand adventure to find the sword -- whose legend started in the 12th century.

Now in earlier posts about this series, I mentioned that Black Star is at his best when paired with Soul because they're just a hilarious duo. Well, Black Star with Kid is a pretty hilarious combination, too. Of course, the funny parts are best experienced by watching as opposed to me telling you so I'll just leave it at that. Let's just say that Death the Kid's reaction to water reminded me of my past misadventures about flooding when I used to live in Manila -- and I even had an uncle help me the same way Black Star helped Kid on my way to school. Just like Kid, I guess I was a "perfect" student, too. Perfectly stupid.

I also like the Gintama-ish reaction from the fairy in the cave when asked about Excalibur. By the way, that's another series I highly recommend. It's actually even funnier than Soul Eater, and that says a lot. Anywho, our two heroes eventually meet up with the legendary sword. Will one of them be compatible enough with the Excalibur to draw it out? The answer will surprise you -- and probably make you laugh out loud, too. All I can say is that any sword that makes Black Star and Kid respect each other more is truly legendary to me, regardless of whether its legend started in the 12th century or not.
