KaoclazmMJR Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Okay so in episode 3 of Soul Eater an alive Sid informs Soul and Black Star that Death the Kid was the one who took on the Pyramid of Anubis mission.Fast forward to episode 4. Maka and Soul discuss "that one teacher who died and had a miniature statue of liberty sticking out of his forehead" which Maka claims to be the "Sid and the statue to the forehead incident". It is revealed later on in the series that Sid was killed and subsequently turned into a zombie by Professor Stein at the request of Lord Death in order to put Maka, BlackStar, Soul and Tsubaki through a training excercise. Okay so this all makes sense so far right?Well it is also later revealed that when the Star clan fell from grace and began killing humans that Sid adopted BlackStar and raised him as his own child despite his colleagues opinions on the matter.Back to episode 4 again. The 4 students are given the mission of hunting down Sid "because he is attacking students" which was actually just a test. However, BlackStar did not know that Sid was killed and zombiefied of his own volition and upon hearing about it exclaims that he will take care of this guy and the entire time during the fight BlackStar tries to kill Sid, his voice not giving any indication whatsoever that the two were so close.So does BlackStar not care about Sid his adoptive father at all? Is he even willing to hunt him down and kill him as if they did not even know each other just for a training exercise?What do you guys think?

some1liku Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I actually don't recall them ever saying that Sid took black star in (o.O\)but i do think I remember something about the academy taking him in because he was just a kid black star was telling tsubaki this when they were hunting the enchanted sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Same with the person above. I never heard or saw any mention of Sid being Star's adoptive parent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrewShadow Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 "Sid is the person who adopts and raises Black Star after he the Clan of the Star is wiped out. Although Black Star is still bad-tempered and defiant around him, especially when Sid first becomes a zombie, it is shown, mainly through flashbacks, that the two do share a strong father-son or student-mentor relationship. Black Star also treats Sid as his equal, not as someone below him."The above is from the soul eater wikia. I do remember way later in the show that they do some back to the subject about Sid adopting Blackstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkscanner Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Speaking of Sid though. Is anyone else annoyed that his weapon Naigus got such little attention in the anime? She could have been pretty cool if they would have tried to explore her character at all, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some1liku Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I never really liked how she was just a dagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowtheman Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 The way I saw it was thats just how black star is. He doesn't let any thing get in his way. If you remember correctly he clashed several time and even made threats to Maka and Soul during the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still he didn't even acknowledge Sid as being someone he knew let alone someone who was so close to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowtheman Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 It could have been a detail not touched on enough during the anime vs the manga. Simply put to much of that side story was cut from the anime. For what extreme past his fam has had they barely say much. I think they do this to most of the main characters. Most of there past is only slightly mentioned after that its thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmingllama Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 That's true.As much as I liked the anime (initially) there were a lot of discrepancies between the anime and the source material.Well, the whole point of anime is to get people to buy the manga. So they want people to get the manga, why add in all those side plots? And also mangas are normally better in general than anime, especially if they attempt an original anime ending... Soul Eaters had a terrible one. But on topic, I can totally get the foster father vibe from Sid, and because of Black Star's personality of course he wont show any emotions besides anger and cool to Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
