Arachne is dead (but then again you never know....)! There are a lot of villains dying for the better in a number of chapters this week. Maka and Soul pull out all the stops and their best resonance ability, Demon Hunter is unleashed for the second time. In one fell swoop, they obtain Arachne's soul, but the celebration is brief.
It was pretty obvious that Medusa had to have some kind of ace in the hole, and now we see that her endgame was to inhabit Arachne's body after her soul's death/release. This was a somewhat interesting turn of events, as I like Medusa's character quite a lot (and it's good to see that she'll be around awhile longer), but it was also pretty predictable; seeing that Medusa has had the propensity to switch bodies whenever doing so could secure her safety or gain her some kind of advantage.
The best part of this chapter was undoubtedly the appearance of Death Scythe Tezca Tlipoca and his technician (a monkey!!!) Enrique. It'll be interesting - in time - to see a non-human technician battle with a humanoid blade. For now, Medusa retreats, and with that this arc will soon be coming to a close (soon being anywhere from a month to half a year). There still are some loose ends to tie up: how will Death the Kid be saved from Noah's book (who will do the saving?), and what will become of Chrona?
