Jacqueline has the "hots" for Kim, but the meister does not feel the same. Jacqueline and the rest of the Girls Force! make repeated attempts to "hook up" her and Kim despite numerous difficulties. I guess a tanooki can always 'change' her mind.

Jacqueline is confused, asking why Kim is blushing. Kim smiles widely and points out that Jacqueline is blushing more, prompting Jacqueline to push Kim into the water—and landing atop her. Jacqueline nervously apologizes and moves away, but Kim takes her hand and tells her she is attractive. Jacqueline is surprised, but as Kim brings her face closer to hers, both of them close their eyes, their lips coming closer together.

The plan does not work as Kim takes this talk of hair as a slam against her hairstyle and walks away once more from the bath house complaining that it is too noisy to take a soak.

This woman, Shaula Gorgon, stands, saying that they will lay low for a while, but as she has known suffering for her life as a witch, she intends to make the Academy's members know similar suffering.

Death City[]

Kim Diehl is seen in an alleyway where a stray dog appraches her trying to make friends, the dog being a physical metaphor of Kim's inner feelings. She tells the mutt to scamper as a moped drive nicks a pipe causing the other pipes to fall on the canine. Kim rushes over toward the site, resucing the dog whom is in a critical condition, Kim uses her magic powers to heal the dog it full state of recovery, the downside of this heroic act is Jacqueline saw everything.

Jacqueline is thrilled at her display as the two downplay their expressions, Kim then states that it's a good thing that Jacqueline is straight-laced. Kim admits that Jacqueline is her partner from now on, making Jacqueline estatic about the prospect ending the episode.

Manga and Anime Differences[]

  • The dream sequence in the beginning was not in the manga.
  • The scene in Shaula's Office is adapted from Chapter 6. The scene plays out differently in two ways:
    • In the manga, another Traitor is present that is absent in the anime.
    • In the manga, Shaula gives her motivation as wishing to prove she's better than her sisters. In the anime, she wants revenge for the loneliness the DWMA has forced her and witchkind into.
  • The scene where the stray has objects fall over it are pipes, but in the manga they were wooden planks.

Trivia[]

  • Up to this episode, all episodes of the anime have begun with dream sequences. This trend will continue with Liz Thompson at the beginning of the next episode.
  • This episode raises the question whether Jacqueline is attracted romantically or sexually to Kim. Jacqueline displays affectionate feelings toward her in such a way that seems like Jacqueline would want a romantic relationship with Kim. As well, in the Funimation English dub, numerous characters specifically ask Jacqueline whether she is in love with Kim, prompting Jacqueline to ponder this question but answer not with an affirmative but with a nervous, potentially unconvincing denial.
  • When imagining Kim, Jacqueline pictures her running track in her usual attire while their classmates run in their gym uniforms. In Episode 3, Jacqueline had instructed a reluctant Kim to change into her gym attire.
  • Soul Eater NOT Episode 5 - Kim bathhouse censorship cropped

    Light obscures nudity in this episode

    In the original Japanese television broadcast and Funimation online broadcast, light was used to censor exposed bottoms of the characters in the bathhouse. This censorship was removed in subsequent online and home video releases.
  • Kim's wallet is in the shape of a tanuki.
  • The Japanese production includes performances by Tokuyoshi Kawashima as the Detective and Satoshi Yamaguchi as the Pool Worker.
  • The Funimation dub includes performances by Matt Thurston as the Pool Worker, Alex Organ as the Detective, and Zach Bolton saying "racoon" over Josephine's image.[1] The Funimation dub included additional performances by Ashleigh Domangue, Kim Foster, Lauren Landa, Christopher Wehkamp, Katherine Salavarria, Mikaela Krantz, Sara Ragsdale, and Whitney Rodgers.
