I'm very interested to see what the effects are of Soul becoming a Death Scythe, he's needed a power boost I believe, I'm glad the main goal of Soul Eater doesn't become the only goal in Soul Eater, I'm also glad they didn't over focus on this goal and just treated it as normal.
I'm also interested to see what this Assassin has in store for Maka, and to see how Soul's new power can deal with it. I love build up chapters!
