Trivia[]
- In the Soul Eater NOT! anime, Shaula's soul is seen to look much like that of a Kishin egg. It should be noted, however, that the Soul Eater NOT! anime follows its source detail much closer with details change and a deviation towards the end, therefore, the concept does not exist. The animes are not consistent with each other.
- One of the various inconsistencies in Soul Eater anime is that though the Kishin eggs individuals are normally human, Asura's soul is seen as a Kishin Soul within the end credits being buried, despite him being a Shinigami. Mosquito's soul is also shown to be a Kishin egg, despite the latter being identified a Bloodsucker.[6]
