1. Originally the series’ creator, Atushi, had only planned for Soul Eater to be a set of three separate one-shots. However, Atushi left a giant pothole in the one-shots and they were popular enough to then be made into a full series

   

2. Death the Kid has tried to dye his hair before (because he wanted to make himself completely symmetrical) but unfortunately his lines of Sanzu kept coming back. According to Atushi, colour won’t stick in Kid’s hair because of his shinigami blood – meaning that the chemicals are rejected by his body

   

3. Maka’s name is an anagram for the world ‘kama’ – which is the Japanese word for ‘scythe’

   

4. Stein is said to the be strongest meister to graduate from the DWMA

   

5. Soul Eater Not! revealed that the DWMA is located in Las Vegas, America

   

6. The number to call Lord Death is 42 42 564. In Japanese this number is pronounced as ‘shini shine koroshi’ and translates to ‘death death kill’

   

7. Atushi has confirmed that Crona’s gender is unknown, despite Crona being referred to as ‘he’ in the anime

   

8. Black Star was taken into the DWMA on the same day that Maka was born

   

9. There are quite a few character references in the series – including Jason from Friday the 13th, Jack the Ripper and Al Capone (who was also known as Scarface). These references also includes characters such as Blair, whose name is a reference to the Blair Witch Project, and Stein, who is based upon a combination of Victor Frankenstein and his monster from the 1818 novel

   

10. In episode 3, when Death the Kid summons Lord Death, the hand signals that Kid uses are sign language for ‘I love you’
