"The Underground Battle Commences"
We get a little more explanation about the sleeping Kishin underneath the school, and then we cut to the main characters planning about how to go about stopping Medusa. Also, Death Scythe joins the party, because Dr. Stein needs his weapon. So the plan of attack is to have the kids get past Medusa and then deal with the other three opponents while Stein keeps Medusa busy. At the end, Maka decides to fight Crona and Ragnarok, leaving Black Star, Kid, and the others to go ahead.
The expository dialogue is a bit annoying at times. Like, I get that they may need to explain certain things, but some of the things they do explain seem like stuff better saved for conversations with friends who are WAAAAY more into something than you are. You can enjoy the thing, and they can enjoy it to the point of being able to explain everything about the internal logic of that world. Like a person who likes Star Wars asking a dedicated fan about how a lightsaber would work.
Still absolutely loving the conversations between Medusa and Stein.
"The Black Blood Resonance Battle"
Soul has been having a reoccurring dream involving a demon telling him about gaining more power. This was the result of the black blood that is now in his body. The method for him and Maka to become stronger would be to give into the madness, since that is clearly what Crona has done. By the end, they decide to go for it.
They also explain a bit of Crona's backstory.
This is getting really fun. I love it when they have characters give into the madness, 'cause then you can have the actors ham it up to funny and creepy degrees.
I'm still perplexed that "Style" is the ending theme. Like, all this shit going down, and then, pretty pop song. Doesn't seem to fit.
