The Detective's First Case – Kid Exposes the DWMA's Secret? is the thirty-seventh episode of Soul Eater.
Plot
Arachne is convinced that "Brew" is defunct, when it is actually functional and in Medusa's hands. Meanwhile at Shibusen, everyone assigned on the "Brew" mission is depressed about their defeat against Arachnophobia, except Kid, who ponders about Eibon and Shinigami's association with him. He even confronts Stein and interrogates him about what "Brew" is and why Shinigami sought to possess it. Maka questions her ability of using 'Demon Hunter' while fighting Mosquito and talks to Shinigami about it. Determined to use 'Demon Hunter' again, Maka and Soul make an attempt, but they fail to do so. At the end of the day, a man named Joe Buttataki arrives at Death City at Shinigami's request.
Manga and Anime Differences
- This episode introduces the Madness Relay Points devices which are built by Arachnophobia to spread Asura's madness throughout the world, however that isn't present in the Manga.
- Joe Buttataki according to the manga Joe is a Internal Affairs Investigator from Oceania looking for a traitor inside Death City. While the anime states that Joe is a member of DWMA's research and development division, again from Oceania, who is summoned to build a machine out of the demon tools created by Eibon that allows Death to transform all of Death City into a giant mech and capture Asura.
- The manga states that Joe once dated Marie Mjölnir, but nothing about Marie's and Joe's past relationship in the anime.
