Plot

Crona, after being freed by Maka, holds down Ragnarok so Maka and Soul can proceed. Meanwhile, as Kid chases his enemies, he is suddenly attacked by Free. None of his attacks work, even his Death Cannon, and he is suddenly possessed by his perfect mind disorders, only to be saved by Black Star. As Black Star attacks, Kid realizes the Free they were fighting was only an illusion, and the real Free is already far away with Eruka by the door of the sealed shrine. As soon as Eruka and Free enter the Shrine, they can feel Asura's soul wavelength. Both of them feel Asura's wrath before they realize it comes from the madness of the first Kishin.

Manga and Anime Differences

• In the Manga Maka's purification of Crona doesn't affect Ragnarok, however in the Anime Ragnarok shrinks after Maka's purification.
  • Ragnarok does shrink in the manga, but that was much later on in the plot.
