text: The Magnificent Seven (2016 film)

text: Plot[edit]

text: In 1879, robber baron and gold-mining tycoon Bartholomew Bogue assumes control of the American frontier town of Rose Creek, and subjects its residents to forced labor in his mines. After a town church assembly denounces him, Bogue has the church torched and kills a group of rebellious locals led by Matthew Cullen. Matthew's widow, Emma Cullen, and her friend Teddy Q. ride in search of bounty hunters to help liberate the town. They recruit Sam Chisolm, an African-American U.S. Marshal, who expresses interest after hearing of Bogue's involvement.

text: With the help of Emma and Teddy, Chisolm recruits gambler and outlaw Joshua Faraday, Mexican fugitive Vasquez, former Confederate marksman Goodnight "Goody" Robicheaux, Robicheaux's Korean traveling partner Billy Rocks, and legendary game hunter Jack Horne. The group encounters a Comanche warrior named Red Harvest, whom Chisolm persuades to join the posse.

text: The Seven enter Rose Creek and eliminate 22 Blackstone private military contractors on Bogue's payroll. Chisolm sends the corrupt sheriff Mr. Harp away to inform Bogue that they now control his holdings in Rose Creek. Chisolm surmises that Bogue will return with an army in seven days; the Seven (plus Emma) liberate forced laborers from a Bogue Mining digsite, and spend the next week fortifying the town and training the locals in combat. Meanwhile, Bogue receives the news of Rose Creek's liberation, murders Harp for his failure, and orders his Comanche enforcer Denali and his right-hand-man McCann to assemble an army. Robicheaux, haunted by his experiences in the Civil War and fearing his own death if he kills again, leaves the town the night before Bogue's arrival; Emma volunteers to take his place.

text: The next morning, Bogue and his army attack Rose Creek, which has been surrounded with traps and explosive networks. As the battle goes on, Faraday is shot and wounded by McCann, who is killed by Vasquez, the defensive line collapses, and Robicheaux returns to help. Bogue and his remaining men fire a Gatling gun from a hill leading into the town, killing many Rose Creek residents and Bogue's own mercenaries. Realizing they are outgunned, the Seven evacuate the townspeople and mount their last stand. Horne protects a wounded Teddy Q. from gunfire, but is killed by Denali, who is later killed by Red Harvest.

text: Faraday makes a suicidal charge up the hill and destroys the Gatling gun with dynamite, killing most of Bogue's remaining men. Robicheaux and Billy, sniping from the church's bell tower, are killed by a volley of gunfire while providing cover for Faraday's charge. Bogue and his two surviving mercenaries proceed into the town to confront Chisolm. After killing the two men, Chisolm enters a Mexican standoff with Bogue, and shoots his hand as he draws, disarming him. A wounded Bogue retreats into the church, where Chisolm reveals that his family was lynched in 1867 by ex-Confederate soldiers, who were hired by Bogue to drive homesteaders out of Kansas. After imploring Bogue to repent, Chisolm tries to garrote him; Bogue retrieves a revolver he stashed in his boot, but Emma shoots him dead from the church doorway.

text: The townspeople return to Rose Creek and thank the survivors for their service, while Faraday, Robicheaux, Billy and Horne are buried near town and honored as heroes. Emma, in voice-over narration, reflects fondly on their noble sacrifice that made them "magnificent".

text: Development[edit]

text:
I kept reminding myself of when I was a 12‑year‑old boy, when I was a kid watching it with my grandmother, what was the feeling I had? How much fun was it? How cool were they? For me, I always had my grandmother in my mind when making a film. Would she enjoy this film?

—Director Antoine Fuqua on his approach to the remake.[5]

tag: div

text: The film was reported to be in the planning stages in 2012, with Tom Cruise starring. It was reported that Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, and Matt Damon might join the film.[6] In early 2014, MGM chairman Gary Barber and his cohorts approached Antoine Fuqua to read the script by Richard Wenk and Nic Pizzolatto, while Fuqua was making Southpaw.[7]

text: Fuqua has loved Western films since discovering the genre at the age of 12, and has said that his grandmother, with whom he would watch films such as Shane (1953) and The Searchers (1956),[8][9][10] was a key inspiration during the remake.[5][8][11] Fuqua also tried to stay true to the DNA of Seven Samurai, on which the film is based.[11]

text: Fuqua said he wanted to remake the film because the subject of tyranny and terrorism still prevails as it did in Seven Samurai. He has said that there is therefore a strong need for people to come and serve, which is what samurai means – "to serve."[12] Fuqua never imagined he would get a chance to direct a Western film, and when MGM called him to helm the picture, he hesitated at first, given the high regard he had for Seven Samurai and its director, Akira Kurosawa.

text: Casting[edit]

text: Fuqua worked to create a diverse cast[13] by incorporating actors of color such as African-American Denzel Washington, Korean Byung-hun Lee and Mexican Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and making sure the lead female Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett) did not conform to stereotypes.[14][15] It is a decision Fuqua says reflects historical reality more than it does any conscious attempt to update the story. "There were a lot of black cowboys, a lot of Native Americans; Asians working on the railroads. The truth of the West is more modern than the movies have been."[16] When Fuqua met studio executives to see the possible actors for the film, he found out that they were all white. He found this to be problematic and wanted instead to make the cast diverse so that the audience could identify with more of the characters.[14] The actors were cast between December 2014 and July 2015.[17][18][19][20] At one point, Jason Momoa was in talks to join the project but had had to leave because he was already booked to play Aquaman.[21] The cast were put through cowboy training before filming commenced.[8] They were sent to boot camps in order to hone their skills.[14]

text: Denzel Washington's character, warrant officer and bounty hunter Sam Chisolm,[22] was renamed from Chris Adams (played by Yul Brynner in the original film).[23] It is Washington's first Western film.[24] Washington did not watch Western films growing up, as it was the end of the Western era in cinema. Moreover, he and his siblings were barred from going to the movies since his father was a minister in a church. They instead grew up watching biblical films like King of Kings and The Ten Commandments. However, he has admitted seeing portions of Rawhide and Bonanza shows.[12][24] Washington did not watch the original film in preparation for this but has watched Seven Samurai.[24] This was an arbitrary decision of his, since he figured that watching the original film would not help him much, "[Not seeing it] allowed me to do whatever I wanted to do. Instead of trying not to do what someone else did."[25][26] As with his previous films, Washington would start off the day by kneeling down and praying, asking for forgiveness for all his wrong-doings. "For me," he said, "this is more than just making movies. It is a platform."[12] Fuqua said that Washington, with whom he has twice collaborated, was his first choice to be cast irrespective of which role. The producers were skeptical whether he would take the job since it was a Western film, but Fuqua flew to New York City to negotiate with Washington, who accepted the offer.[5][9]

text: Chris Pratt described his character Josh Faraday as "a bit of a fox, a trickster. He's a gambler, a drinker. He loves the ladies. But he's deadly in a fire fight."[22] Like Washington, it is also Pratt's first Western film.[24] Pratt began watching Western films at the age of 31 while filming in London, and credits Gary Cooper for revitalizing his perspective towards Western films.[12][24] Fuqua, aware of Pratt's penchant towards Western films, reached out to Pratt, who called back in a few days singing "Oh Shenandoah," to which Fuqua replied, "He's it. He's Steve McQueen."[5]

text: Fuqua's approach to Ethan Hawke's character Goodnight Robicheaux, a former Confederate soldier, was to picture him as if Christopher Walken's character Nikanor "Nick" Chevotarevich in The Deer Hunter was an emotionally shattered Civil War veteran.[27] Hawke was the first person to come on board after the project was finalized.[7] Hawke stumbled upon Fuqua and Washington during the New York premiere of The Equalizer in 2014 and, upon learning that a remake was in the works, he asked Fuqua to cast him in the film.[27] Like Washington, The Magnificent Seven marks the third collaboration between Hawke and Fuqua after Training Day (2001) and Brooklyn's Finest (2009).[27]

text: Manuel Garcia-Rulfo described his character Vasquez, a bandit on the run from the law, as someone who loves gunfighting.[28]

text: Martin Sensmeier auditioned several times to land the role of Red Harvest, a native Comanche warrior.[29][28] Sensmeier stayed off social media and studied intently in order to portray his part.[13] Scotty Augere, who previously worked on Dances with Wolves, taught Sensmeier how to ride a horse bareback and would ride with him two hours a day.[13]

text: Vincent d'Onofrio was cast as mountain man Jack Horn on the urging of co-stars Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke.[30] For the role, d'Onofrio developed a raw, high-pitched voice to give the impression of a man who'd lived in the wilderness for years without speaking to people. When he asked to test the voice for Fuqua, the director refused to listen, instructing the actor to surprise him with it in his first scene, which resulted in a delighted Fuqua laughing so hard that he almost ruined the take.[31]

text: Music[edit]

text: James Horner was tapped to write the film's score, but he died in June 2015, before filming could commence. In July 2015, Fuqua learned that Horner had already begun working on the music before his passing, and had intended to present it as a surprise.[32] Horner's friend and score producer Simon Franglen co-composed the score afterward. It was released on September 16, 2016 by Sony Classical, and is the third Horner-score released posthumously.[33]

text: Filming[edit]

text: Principal photography on the film lasted 64 days, from March 18 to August 18, 2015, in the north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.[34][35][36] Other locations include St. Francisville; Zachary, Louisiana; Ridgway, Colorado; and New Mexico.[7][35][36] Filming in St. Francisville was completed between May 18 and May 29, 2015.[37]

text: The climactic battle between the Seven and a small army led by Bogue took three weeks to shoot; the weather was inclement.[7] Sometimes the cast and crew would wait in the on-set saloon for storms to pass, and, at times when the storm would worsen, the trailer would rock and they would have to leave the set.[7] Since his grandmother was the prime influence on the film, every day after filming, Fuqua would ask himself if she would have fun watching it.[8]

text: Release[edit]

text: The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2016,[38][39] and served as the closing-night film at the Venice Film Festival on September 9, 2016.[40] The film was originally set to be released on January 13, 2017;[41] however in February 2016, Sony Pictures Entertainment moved the release date this time from January 13, 2017, and then to September 23, 2016.[42]

text: Marketing[edit]

text: Sony kicked off its campaign on April 20, 2016, by launching the first trailer,[43] and the cast took to their social media platforms to reveal character-by-character.[44] Television advertisement began during the summer when the trailers were paired with the NBA finals and BET Awards as well as the 2016 Summer Olympics. Sony rounded out the campaign with a presence in live sporting events such as National Football League, NCAA Football and local Major League Baseball as well as highly anticipated fall premieres and original programming, like Empire, The Voice, American Horror Story, Fear the Walking Dead and Designated Survivor.[44]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Box office[edit]

text: The Magnificent Seven grossed $93.4 million in the United States Canada and $68.9 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $162.4 million, against a net production budget of $90 million.[3] The film had a global 2D IMAX opening of $4.3 million from 606 theaters.[45]

text: North America[edit]

text: In the United States and Canada, The Magnificent Seven opened alongside Storks, and was projected to open to around $30 million, with some estimates going as high as $50 million, which would make it one of the biggest September debuts of all-time.[46][47][48][49] The film opened in 3,674 theaters, including having the benefit of playing in all IMAX theaters for one week and a number of premium large formats and D-Box screens.[50] It made $1.75 million from Thursday previews and $12.7 million on its first day.[51][52] The film went on to gross $35.7 million in its opening weekend of which $2.9 million came from 372 IMAX theaters and managed to top the box office and scored the third biggest Western openers (not accounting for inflation), behind Rango ($38.1 million) and Cowboys & Aliens ($36.4 million).[53] It is also director Fuqua's second biggest opening and Washington's third biggest.[54]

text: According to The Los Angeles Times, the film was released in theaters at a time when the Western genre had been struggling to attract wide audiences and accrue lucrative revenues, as it has shown considerable downfall in interest among patrons since the 1970s. The genre has had several recent box office flops such as The Lone Ranger (2013) and Cowboys & Aliens (2011), but has also found success in films like Django Unchained (2012) and True Grit (2010).[47] Its strong debut in North America was partly attributed to the presence of Denzel Washington, who industry analysts say is one of only a handful of movie stars today who consistently draws large audiences to theaters,[55] and also to Fuqua's direction.[56] Deadline.com pointed out that the production budget of films also plays an important role in determining a film's success. By comparison to other recent Western films, The Magnificent cost $90 million to make before promotion and marketing costs are included. The site pointed out that "the trick is keeping their budgets reasonable", unlike The Lone Ranger which cost a hefty $215 million to make and Cowboys & Aliens cost $163 million.[54] It became a financial recoverer for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer after the studio lost a great deal of money with Ben-Hur the previous month and became the studio's second hit of the year following the sleeper hit Me Before You released in June this year.[57]

text: Outside North America[edit]

text: The film was projected to make around $100 million with foreign box office prognosticators expecting a similar $101.6 million total of The Hateful Eight.[45][54] It was released in South Korea (the first market worldwide) on September 14, 2016 and delivered an opening of $5.1 million, finishing in third place at the box office behind local film The Age of Shadows and Hollywood tent pole Ben-Hur.[58] Internationally, it next opened in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Germany, Spain, and Russia.[48] The following weekend, the film expanded to 62 markets and grossed $19.2 million from 63 markets (including Korea). IMAX made up $1.4 million from 234 theaters.[45]

text: It opened in first place in Russia ($1.8 million) Spain ($1.1 million) and Malaysia ($560,000) and second in the United Kingdom and Ireland ($2.6 million), Germany ($1.4 million) and Brazil ($1.1 million),[45] and had similar openings in Australia ($2.8 million) and France ($1.9 million).[59] China is not yet determined.[45]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: The Magnificent Seven received mixed reviews, with critics praising the cast but noting the film did not offer much that is original or innovative.[60] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 63%, based on 272 reviews, with an average rating of 6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The Magnificent Seven never really lives up to the superlative in its title – or the classics from which it draws inspiration – but remains a moderately diverting action thriller on its own merits."[61] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a score of 54 out of 100, based on 50 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[62] According to CinemaScore polls, audiences gave the film an average "A–" grade, on an A+ to F scale.[63]

text: IGN critic Terri Schwartz gave the film a 6.7/10 and summarized her review with: "The Magnificent Seven ends up being a bit too predictable to reach its full potential, but the fun the cast clearly had making it allows the movie to be an enjoyable ride while it lasts. Fuqua does his best to update the Western for the modern audience, but doesn't capture what made those films great in the process. The action is big and sleek, the characters are charismatic and the film looks beautiful, but this won't be a movie that stays with you long after you leave the theater.[64]

text: Chicago Sun-Times' Richard Roeper praised the film by giving a score of 3 stars out of 4, writing: "Over all  [sic], this is a rousing, albeit sometimes cheesy, action-packed Western bolstered by Denzel Washington’s baddest-of-the-baddasses lead performance, mostly fine supporting work, and yep, some of the most impressively choreographed extended shootout sequences in recent memory."[65]

text: James Berardinelli of Reelviews gave a score of 2 stars out of 4, writing: "The original The Magnificent Seven found a perfect balance between moments of grand triumph and the understated, solemn denouement. This The Magnificent Seven has the dour ending without the high points preceding it. With two better versions of this story readily available, why bother with this mediocre re-telling? 'Currently recognizable actors' hardly seems like a good justification."[66]

text: MTV's Amy Nicholson decried the film, writing: "Fuqua’s made two clean piles separating good and evil, and in doing so, he’s thrown away the film’s point. Now we can trade our conscience for a bucket of popcorn. Today’s The Magnificent Seven is just another superhero flick that spends half its running time assembling a band of bulletproof daredevils. Which makes sense — the original inspired The Avengers, which published its first comic three years after it was a hit."[67]

text: Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three out of four stars, saying, "The new Seven isn't aiming for cinema immortality. It's two hours of hardcore, shoot-em-up pow and it's entertaining as hell."[68]

text: Notable World Cup hat-tricks[edit]

text:
Bert Patenaude was the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup match, on 17 July 1930 against Paraguay. However, until 10 November 2006 the first hat-trick that FIFA acknowledged had been scored by Guillermo Stábile of Argentina, two days after Patenaude. In 2006 FIFA announced that Patenaude's claim to being the first hat-trick scorer was valid, as teammate Tom Florie's goal in the match against Paraguay was reattributed to him.[1]
Four players have scored two hat-tricks in World Cup matches: Sándor Kocsis (both 1954); Just Fontaine (both 1958); Gerd Müller (both 1970); and Gabriel Batistuta (1994 and 1998).[2] Batistuta is thus the only person to score hat-tricks in two World Cups. He has another unique record of scoring hat-tricks, both were achieved on 21 June of the year, against World Cup finals debutants (Greece and Jamaica), and each time the third goal was a penalty.[3] Kocsis and Müller scored their hat-tricks in consecutive matches.
Oleg Salenko is the only player in World Cup history to have scored five goals in a single match. He did this during the 1994 FIFA World Cup match between Russia and Cameroon.[4]
One player has scored a hat-trick on his international début: Guillermo Stábile (1930).[5]
One player has scored four goals for the losing side: Ernest Wilimowski (5–6, 1938).[6]
Two players have scored a hat-trick for the losing side: Josef Hügi (5–7, 1954); and Igor Belanov (3–4, 1986).
There have been three occasions when two hat-tricks have been scored in the same match. Two occurred during the 1938 FIFA World Cup: when Sweden defeated Cuba, Gustav Wetterström and Harry Andersson, both playing for Sweden, scored three goals, with the former completing his in the first half. In the Brazil vs Poland, Leônidas did it for Brazil and Ernest Wilimowski for Poland. One occurred in 1954: when Austria defeated Switzerland, Theodor Wagner and Josef Hügi scored hat-tricks for Austria and Switzerland respectively.
Only one man has scored a hat-trick in a World Cup Final. Geoff Hurst scored three for England against West Germany in the 1966 Final.[2][7] This is also the longest hat-trick to be completed — most time between the first and third goals. His first goal came at 10', while the second goals were in extra time at 98' and 120'.
The quickest hat-trick is Erich Probst, who scored at 4', 21', and 24' in 1954, playing for Austria against Czechoslovakia in the first round.
The briefest hat-trick to be completed — that is, the shortest time between the first and third goals — is the one by László Kiss in 1982 against El Salvador. He scored at 69', 72', and 76', making the time between his first and third 7 minutes. This is also the only hat-trick scored by a substitute.
The only players to have scored from three headers in a single match are Tomáš Skuhravý in 1990 and Miroslav Klose in 2002.[2]
The youngest player to score a hat-trick is Pelé, at 17 years, 244 days.
The oldest player to score a hat-trick is Cristiano Ronaldo, at 33 years, 130 days.[8]
Germany (incl. West Germany) holds the record for most hat-tricks scored with 7. Germany also shares with South Korea the record for most hat-tricks conceded with 4.

Original air date[20]

1
"Resonance of the Soul – Will Soul Eater Become a Death Scythe?"
"Tamashii no Kyōmei 〜Sōru Ītā, Desu Saizu ni Naru?〜" (魂の共鳴 〜ソウル=イーター、デスサイズになる?〜)
April 7, 2008

Meister Maka Albarn and her weapon partner Soul Eater have collected 99 kishin souls, souls of weapon meisters and death scythes who have eaten human souls, causing their souls to become corrupt and turn into what they call kishin, and only need the soul of a witch to turn Soul into a death scythe. The two seek out the witch Blair, who frequently gets the better of them and tries to seduce Soul. During a battle, Soul tricks Blair into thinking he wants to abandon Maka and become her weapon, allowing Maka to take her soul. Unfortunately, nothing happens when Soul eats it, as Blair turns out to be a magical cat rather than a witch and had merely lost one of her nine souls. As penalty for this mistake, Lord Death confiscates all the souls they've collected, forcing them to start over.

2
"I Am the Star! The Big Man Is Showing Up Here?"
"Ore koso Sutā da! 〜Mottomo Biggu na Otoko, Koko ni Arawaru?〜" (俺こそスターだ! 〜最もビッグな男、ここに現る?〜)
April 14, 2008

Following a failed attempt at collecting the 99 souls of mobster Al Capone and his men, assassin Black Star and his weapon Tsubaki track them down to the residence of the witch Angela, only to find they have all been killed by Angela's bodyguard Mifune. Black Star fights Mifune, but is easily beaten due to his lack of skill as an assassin. When Mifune insults him, however, Black Star accuses him of trying to upstage him and successfully utilizes a surprise attack that defeats him. However, Black Star decides not to kill him or Angela once he discovers the witch to be a helpless young girl. In addition, he declines collecting the mobsters' souls since he himself did not defeat them.

3
"The Perfect Boy – Death the Kid's Magnificent Mission?"
"Kanpeki naru Shōnen 〜Desu za Kiddo no Karei naru Misshon?〜" (完璧なる少年 〜デス･ザ･キッドの華麗なるミッション?〜)
April 21, 2008

Lord Death's son, Death the Kid, decides to go soul-hunting in the Egyptian Pyramid of Anubis where a witch is creating mummies to resurrect an evil pharaoh. However, Kid becomes easily distracted due to his obsession with symmetry, forcing his weapons, Liz and Patty Thompson, to collect the mummies' souls on their own. Upon encountering the pharaoh, Kid is unable to kill him as he attacks from his perfectly symmetrical sarcophagus. But when the pharaoh emerges and reveals his true, unaligned self, Kid relentlessly destroys him. Unfortunately, the pyramid is wrecked in the attack, and Kid is forced to surrender the souls he collected as punishment.

4
"Engage the Witch Hunter! A Remedial Lesson in the Graveyard?"
"Majo Gari Hatsudō! 〜Dokidoki Hakaba no Hoshū Jugyō?〜" (魔女狩り発動! 〜ドキドキ墓場の補習授業?〜)
April 28, 2008

To make up for the souls they failed to collect, Maka, Soul, Black Star, and Tsubaki take a remedial class together under the threat of expulsion if they fail. They are sent to a graveyard to fight Sid Barrett, their former teacher and a powerful meister who had been turned into a zombie. Maka and Soul attempt to perform their Soul Resonance, "Witch Hunter", but are unable to control it properly, leaving Black Star to subdue Sid with Tsubaki's chain. With Sid captured, Lord Death reveals the one who turned Sid into a zombie to be Dr. Franken Stein, the most powerful meister to ever graduate from Death Weapon Meister Academy.

5
"Shape of the Soul – Enter the Ultimate Meister Stein?"
"Tamashii no Katachi 〜Saikyō Shokunin Shutain Tōjō?〜" (魂のかたち 〜最強職人シュタイン登場?〜)
May 5, 2008

Maka, Soul, Black Star, and Tsubaki face off against Dr. Stein, who quickly proves his skill in battle and nearly kills Black Star. Following Black Star's defeat, Maka catches a sight of Stein's immense soul with her soul perception ability, and despairs over how his power vastly surpasses her own. Soul convinces her to keep fighting, and the two perform their Soul Resonance perfectly, but it isn't enough to defeat Stein. Afterward, Stein reveals that the entire fight had been set up by Lord Death for the remedial class, which they pass. Stein later becomes a new teacher at the DWMA, much to the dismay of the students.

6
"The New Student – Kid's First Day at the Academy, Will It Be an Entrance to Remember?"
"Uwasa no Shinnyūsei! 〜Omoide Ippai, Kiddo no Shibusen Hatsu Tōkō?〜" (噂の新入生! 〜想い出いっぱい、キッドの死武専初登校?〜)
May 12, 2008

Death the Kid and the Thompson sisters enroll at the DWMA, and Soul and Black Star team up to fight them on their first day of school. The fight proves to be very one-sided, as Kid's extraordinary battle abilities are more than a match for Soul and Black Star, who are unable to synchronize their soul wavelengths with each other. Just when it appears Soul and Black Star are left utterly defeated by Kid's destructive Soul Resonance "Death Cannon", Kid passes out from an earlier attack Soul made that ended up clipping Kid's hair, ruining its symmetry and earning Soul and Black Star a come-from-behind victory.

7
"Black-blooded Terror – There's a Weapon inside Crona?"
"Kokketsu no Kyōfu 〜Kurona no Naka ni Buki ga Iru?〜" (黒血の恐怖 〜クロナの中に武器がいる?〜)
May 19, 2008

Maka and Soul go to Italy for a supplementary lesson to collect another evil soul. Once they finish their mission, Maka senses strong soul activity coming from a church and decides to investigate. She and Soul encounter Crona, meister of the Demon Sword Ragnarok, who resides within Crona's body in the form of black blood. Crona's blood hardens to defend against all of Maka's attacks, while Maka is unable to guard Crona's attacks as Ragnarok can harm Soul in his weapon form. Afraid of hurting her partner, Maka attempts to flee, but Soul receives a severe blow to protect his meister.

8
"The Witch Medusa – Bearer of the Great Terrible Soul?"
"Majo Medyūsa 〜Ōinaru Waruki Tamashii o Motsu Mono?〜" (魔女メデューサ 〜大いなる凶き魂を持つ者?〜)
May 26, 2008

Just when Maka and Soul are about to be killed by Crona, Stein and Maka's father, Death Scythe, appear to save them. The two have some trouble against Ragnarok's ability to transform every bit of Crona's blood into a weapon, but the two combine their strength and defeat Crona, who is then retrieved by the witch Medusa, Crona's master who had been observing the fight. Soul receives surgery for his injury and Stein tells Maka he will recover, but secretly confesses to Death Scythe that his body has been infected by Ragnarok's blood. Maka vows to become stronger and is comforted by the school nurse, unaware that she is in fact the witch who had attacked them.

9
"Legend of the Holy Sword – Kid and Black☆Star's Great Adventure?"
"Seiken Densetsu 〜Kiddo to Burakku Sutā no Daibōken?〜" (聖剣伝説 〜キッドとブラック☆スターの大冒険?〜)
June 2, 2008

Black Star and Kid learn about Excalibur, the Holy Sword whose legendary powers are said to surpass those of any other weapon and promise to bestow eternal glory to anyone who wields him. The two decide to search for Excalibur, but when they find him, they cannot stand his unbearable personality and end up abandoning him. Meanwhile, Death Scythe tries to cheer up Maka, who is still worried about Soul, and explains to her the origin of the Demon Sword, describing it as a weapon that has been devouring human souls and threatens to transform into a kishin, which is the reason the DWMA was founded to prevent from happening.

10
"The Enchanted Sword Masamune – Break the Soul Possession: A Heart Sings in the Rain?"
"Yōtō Masamune 〜Yabure Tamashii Hyōi, Ame ni Utau Kokoro?〜" (妖刀マサムネ 〜破れ魂憑依、雨に詠う心?〜)
June 9, 2008

Black Star and Tsubaki are assigned the task of tracking down and defeating Masamune, the Enchanted Sword, who has been devouring human souls. When they come to the village where the Enchanted Sword was last spotted, they are met with hostility from the villagers due to Black Star's heritage from the murderous Star Clan. Masamune later appears and possesses the body of a young boy, but Black Star breaks the boy free from the Enchanted Sword's control. At her own insistence, Tsubaki sends her soul into the Enchanted Sword to confront the soul of Masamune, who is in fact her older brother.

11
"Tsubaki, the Camellia Blossom – What Lies Beyond the Grief?"
"Tsubaki no Hana 〜Kanashimi o Koeta Saki ni Aru Mono?〜" (椿の花 〜悲しみを越えた先にあるもの?〜)
June 16, 2008

Tsubaki fights Masamune inside the Enchanted Sword, but is easily beaten. Masamune claims that Tsubaki's inheritance of their family's weapon forms led him to become evil, and is agonized by her pity of him. Just when Tsubaki's soul is about to be absorbed by Masamune, Black Star's voice reaches her, and she gains the will to defeat her brother, absorbing her very first soul in the process. Masamune's soul also grants Tsubaki the power to transform into the Enchanted Sword, though its power is too much for Black Star to handle.

12
"Courage That Beats Out Fear – Maka Albarn's Great Resolution?"
"Kyōfu ni Makenai Yūki 〜Maka Arubān no Ichidai Kesshin?〜" (恐怖に負けない勇気 〜マカ=アルバーンの一大決心?〜)
June 23, 2008

During a medical examination, Soul tells Medusa about a recurring dream in which he is goaded by the Little Demon to gain power through madness, followed by a nightmarish scene where he emerges from Maka's stomach, something Medusa deems to be an effect of Ragnarok's black blood. Maka, who remains troubled by Soul's injury, becomes determined to grow stronger and overcome the need to always be protected by Soul, but realizes that she must first face her fear of Soul being injured again. Meanwhile, Medusa's plans have raised the ire of two other witches, Eruka Frog and Mizune, who ambush and attempt to kill her. However, they realize that Medusa had placed magical snakes in their bodies when she had threatened them earlier, which kill Mizune. Eruka escapes with her life, but is tracked down by Medusa, who forces her to break into Witch Prison and release a prisoner who had stolen the eye of the witches' leader, whom Medusa intends to use for an experiment on Soul.

13
"The Man with the Magic Eye – Soul and Maka's Diverging Soul Wavelength?"
"Magan no Otoko 〜Sōru to Maka, Zure Yuku Tamashii no Hachō?〜" (魔眼の男 〜ソウルとマカ、ズレゆく魂の波長?〜)
June 30, 2008

Maka and Soul undergo a special training session under Stein by pointing out each other's flaws under the effects of emotional stimulants, which leads to an argument between the two that threatens to permanently prevent their souls from resonating with each other. The two later take a supplementary class in London with Black Star and Tsubaki where they encounter Free, the immortal werewolf with the magic eye who Eruka had released from Witch Prison on Medusa's behalf. During their battle with Free on a suspension bridge, Black Star quickly passes out after using Tsubaki's Enchanted Sword mode, leaving Maka and Soul to fight alone. However, their soul wavelengths have already diverged to the point where Soul burns Maka's hands in his weapon form, making him unwieldy. The two begin to bicker again until Tsubaki persuades them to set their differences aside and accept each other, allowing their souls to resonate stronger than ever, though it causes the madness of Soul's black blood to intensify and risk consuming Maka's soul. Nevertheless, Maka is able to use her Witch Hunter against Free and, with aid from the newly revived Black Star, force him off the bridge. After the battle, Maka coughs up black blood into her hand.

14
"The Super Written Exam – Heart-Pounding, Reeling, and Restless. You're Kidding!?"
"Chō Hikkishiken 〜Dokidoki, Wakuwaku, Sowasowa, Usōn?〜" (超筆記試験 〜ドキドキ、ワクワク、ソワソワ、ウソーン?〜)
July 7, 2008

A big test is coming up, and the students in the DWMA are all studying for it, one way or another. Maka feels she has to be the best in class like her mother was, aiming to surpass her class rival Ox Ford. Death the Kid believed that he knew all the answers on the test, spending the time sketching a symmetrical face. Liz uses her time worrying about her appearance, which Patty happily dozes off. Black Star, after hopelessly trying to study, attempted to steal the answers to the test, being caught and punished by Stein in the process. Furthermore, Soul had stocked his clothing with cheat sheets, but was quickly caught by Sid. Kid spends the entire exam writing his name, while Patty makes her test into an origami giraffe. Ultimately, it is Maka that receives the top score of her class.

15
"The Soul Eating Black Dragon – Scaredy-cat Liz and Her Merry Friends?"
"Tamashii o Kū Kuroki Ryū 〜Okubyō Rizu to Yukai na Nakama-tachi?〜" (魂を食う黒き龍 〜臆病リズと愉快な仲間たち?〜)
July 14, 2008

Kid and his weapons are investigating the Black Dragon, who have terrorized the Baltic Sea recently. The investigation leads them to a ship called Nidhogg, and an evil soul controlling it. As they find the evil soul, he sends Liz to the hull of the ship. There, she encounters human spirits who guide her to the deck of ship, meeting up with Kid and Patty. Liz and Patty transform into handguns to assist Kid in defeating the evil spirit. However, Crona arrives, slices off the head of evil spirit, and summons Ragnarok, in preparation in for the upcoming battle.

16
"Fierce Battle Aboard the Ghost Ship – The Hell inside My Head?"
"Gekitō! Yūreisen 〜Boku no Atama no Naka no Jigoku?〜" (激闘! 幽霊船 〜ボクの頭の中の地獄?〜)
July 21, 2008

Kid continues to fight against Crona. Kid commences to attack recklessly at Crona, however Crona manages to survive. It is then that Crona uses Screaming Resonance, causing the ship to split in half.

With Soul, the only one who can help them do a duel arts resonance link, down for the count, Maka goes to bring Soul back, with Black Star and Kid protecting her, and after crossing a long corridor she finds "Soul", who closes the door behind her. Meanwhile, Crona recovers from the previous battle's injuries, Justin convinces Giriko to retreat, and everyone else outside of the barrier is forced to do nothing but place their hopes in Maka, Black Star, and Kid.

"Sink or Swim?! The Men Who Transcend the Gods?"
"Ichi ka Bachi ka?! 〜Kami o Koeru Otokotachi?〜" (イチかバチか?! 〜神を超える男たち?〜)
March 23, 2009

While everyone outside the barrier can only sit and wait anxiously, Death Scythe recovers, and Black Star and Kid continue to battle Asura with almost no results. Determined to avenge his father and protect the world, Kid tries to charge up, but Asura stabs him and Kid collapses to the ground. Seemingly dead, Kid's eyes suddenly fill with a blue light as the Lines of Sanzu, the white stripes in Kid's hair, activate and his soul becomes extremely powerful as his Death Cannon powers up. While Asura is distracted by this, Black Star takes advantage of the opening and knocks down Asura, allowing the empowered Kid to attack. However, Kid faints and Asura shrinks down to normal. Meanwhile, Maka is locked in a room with "Soul", telling her to open a box containing his courage, in which Soul's voice comes out from the box claiming to be the real Soul who sealed himself to prevent the madness from reaching him. However, Maka, knowing her partner too well, is aware that the "Soul" with her is actually Little Demon, who states to be a part of Soul now. Risking being devoured by the black blood while promising to save him, she decides to open a locked box and successfully saves him from darkness. Having lost control of the situation, the Little Demon shrinks in size, allowing Soul, who accepts the black blood as part of him, to eat him in one gulp. The two of them return to the battle to find everyone else laying unconscious and Asura still undefeated.

"The Word Is Bravery!"
"Aikotoba wa Yūki!" (合言葉は勇気!)
March 30, 2009

Maka and Soul are the only ones left standing against Asura. Believing that Maka's Genie Hunter is the only one that can combat against Asura, her strength and determination upgrades her ultimate attack to Kishin Hunter, but Asura easily shatters the attack and regenerates from it, and proceeds to issue his own attacks, one of which is blocked by Soul and for which Maka takes the full hit to protect Soul's unconscious body. As Asura believes Maka is finally defeated, her weapon blood awakens and she unconsciously continues attacking, but Asura still easily takes her down and forces her weapon blood to concede by waking her up with pain. Meanwhile, Crona tells everyone that Maka's true strength comes from her heart and not a technique, and Lord Death recovers. As Asura tells Maka that all hope for her is lost, she and the others, who recover from their unconscious state, reply that true strength comes from bravery. Asura, who doesn't understand what bravery is, then begins succumbing to fear. Afraid, Asura weakly tries to deny Maka's advances, but his attempts are futile when she punches him straight to the face. Realizing that bravery is just like madness, Asura explodes, cleansing the world of his madness. However, Kid fears the rebirth of another kishin. Maka remains confident, as everyone has bravery in their hearts.
