Lightning-round Soul Eater mini-recap before bed.
Dunno if I'm going to be able to recap fully this weekend, so here are some spoilers anyway.
SE 85: Very short chapter this month, only nineteen pages, and it's literally nothing but Justin vs. Tezca. if you've seen the spoilers then you've pretty much seen the whole chapter already.
Not! 4: A student reports to Sid that a "Traitor" was spotted wandering around Death City. The kanji for "Traitor" literally reads "challenger for a practice match" so I'm guessing based on the following few pages of dialogue that this is something/somebody that occassionally shows up in Death City solely for the purpose of testing their might against Shibusen students? But anyway, there have been far too many of them appearing in Death City recently, as Sid comments that this is the sixteenth incident of a Traitor appearing this month alone, and this is an unusually high number. Um, maybe it's something in the water? Clay and Akane overhear and ask if they can go defeat the Traitor as a training exercise.
So Clay and Akane go and find the Traitor, who asks them rather creepily, "Did you sleep well last night?" Clay expositions that Akane doesn't have to kill the Traitor, he just has to get the Traitor into a checkmate position and then the Traitor is supposed to give up and go away. Then we finally get to see Akane wielding Clay in combat. (To absolutely nobody's surprise, Clay is a claymore.) Akane defeats the Traitor by pinning it with the point of his sword, and tells the Traitor to give up and retreat. Instead, the Traitor tries to kill himself by leaning forward and forcing the tip of Clay's blade into his skull. Akane is understandably freaked out about this and punches out the Traitor before anything Really Bad can happen.
Meanwhile, back at Shibusen, Tsugumi is retconning her own origin story through a bunch of think-bubbles. And suddenly, Maka! Maka explains to Tsugumi and Company that Shibusen students get to choose their own school uniforms. Maka tells Tsugumi that she's cute and Tsugumi explodes from gay. Yes, Soul is there with Maka, but he has no lines. Clay and Akane show up and Akane tells Sid that there was Something Wrong with the Traitor that they were sent to fight.
Sid forces the students to finally decide upon their partners, so Tsugumi ends up with Me-Me while Sid pairs off Anya with another boy (another new character?) who refuses to speak to her. Anya is super-pissed about this, and is in the middle of pouting around the city when she is approached by a creepy guy with a long fingernail who asks her, "Did you sleep well last night?" Chapter ends.
ETA: Added a lot more detail to the Not! spoilers, having now read the chapter more carefully than I did at midnight last night. ;)
