Teaser
Death the Kid narrates how after the loss of Brew to Arachnophobia, his friends have struggled with doubt while he recognizes his father keeps secrets from him. One more secret arrives: Joe Buttataki of the technology division, who looks forward to making Death City his new workshop.
Death Room
Joe meets for subpar coffee with Lord Death, trying to get to the point about the need to develop new technology from available demon tools, while Lord Death wishes to practice the decorum of polite conversation rather than rushing through the conversation. But Joe makes one demand before he is willing to work for the DWMA: the academy must improve its coffee selection by buying only from Uncle Bob's. After some corny visual wordplay by Lord Death, the reaper agrees to Joe's conditions.
DWMA
As Soul Evans complains how difficult it is to find Kid around campus, Maka worries about Black☆Star's moodiness.
•By this episode the anime had diverged widely from the manga. Whereas in Chapter 39 Joe Buttataki's investigation into treachery at the DWMA leads him to suspect Stein, and to meet his death, in the corresponding episode Joe had only just arrived at the DWMA, and his task was to create weapons from demon tools in the fight against Arachnophobia, not to investigate.
•In the manga, it was revealed that Joe and Marie Mjölnir once dated and in the anime adaptation, Joe never actually interacted with Marie, hinting they didn't get together in this adaptation.
•By Chapter 39, Maka had discovered Medusa's survival and Crona's treachery. Her discovery would not happen until a later episode.
•This episode concludes with Maka and Soul visiting Black☆Star in the infirmary to confirm his recovery, and Tsubaki meeting with Kid, as he repairs the DWMA spire, to apologize for Black☆Star's behavior. Neither event occurs in the manga: Maka retreats to her bedroom to ponder the news of Crona's treachery while Soul prepares a meal, and Tsubaki and Kid retreat into the background following Black☆Star's defeat.
•Black Star's shoes have three lines that form the symbol and design of many Adidas sneakers. In the Soul Eater GAIDEN, Usher frequently has Adidas sports items, such as sneakers and soccer balls, an allusion to Soul Eater creator Atsushi Ōkubo being a fan of soccer.
•In the dub for Episode 38, Kid claims the DWMA lacks a boiler, whereas in the original Japanese he actually says that there is no boiler room in the direction that Joe is walking. Good news, indeed: assuming Kid was not lying so to trip up Joe, how would Academy students take hot showers after physical education classes?
•In Episode 38, when arguing with Maka over her delay in entering to see Black☆Star, Soul's face resembles that of an anglerfish: his lower jaw extends forward with his usual sharp teeth.
•In the trailer for Episode 39, Black☆Star and Tsubaki repeat the next episode's title, in part because Tsubaki has not had many appearances recently. Meanwhile, Black☆Star is hungry, struggling to do some math, and (in the Funimation English dub) wondering whether he said Maka's teaser line correctly.
