The first-generation Kishin and one of the Great Old Ones whose affinity to madness resides in fear. He formerly served as one of the Warlords of the Eight Reaper Legions, being its most powerful member until he betrayed the group and became a Kishin, killing innocents to gain power through their souls and even consuming his own demon weapon partner, as well as two other Great Old Ones. After his betrayal he was sealed away by [Death](https://anilist.co/character/8457/Shinigami), and remained sealed until his revival by [Medusa](https://anilist.co/character/11924)'s Faction.

__Manga:__

~!He is later revealed to be Death's eldest son and the older brother of [Death the Kid](https://anilist.co/character/8455/Death-the-Kid), specifically created as a fragment containing all of Death's fear in order for Death to become the God of Absolute Order.!~

~!After Asura's battle with [Maka](https://anilist.co/character/8439/Maka-Albarn), [Black Star](https://anilist.co/character/8464/BlackStar) and Death the Kid, [Crona](https://anilist.co/character/11919/Crona) seals both Asura and themselves inside the moon to keep his madness locked away from the world. Asura gleefully asserts that this method will not last, and that one day he will return to terrorize the world again.!~

Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 groups of each a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to make the latter a "Death Scythe" which is the highest title for a weapon and thus fit for use by the Shinigami, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch. 
Maka &amp; Soul Eater, Black Star &amp; Tsubaki, and Death the Kid with Patty and Liz Thompson are the characters Soul Eater revolves around. Besides taking the time to gather souls, these students of Shibusen defend Death City from some of the most powerful of creatures while still attending school and trying to become stronger.

He claims to enjoy playing crazy or insane characters; Greed (Fullmetal Alchemist) and Asura (Soul Eater) being some of his favorites.

Víctor L. Kuri Vázquez is a Mexican voice actor.

Maka is a scythe meister, working to perfect one particular scythe until it is good enough to become Death's Weapon -- the weapon used by Shinigami-sama, the spirit of Death himself. As if that wasn't unusual enough, her scythe is a demon scythe called Soul Eater, which can change form from a scythe to a human-looking boy. In order to make Soul Eater powerful enough to be Death's Weapon, he must eat the souls of 99 humans and 1 witch. Along the way, the two of them face many different challenges, including a cat witch named Blair (who happens to have a thing for Soul) and a teacher who's been turned into a zombie (and wants him to join her!). Her fellow students, like the shadow ninja weapon meister named Black Star who always needs to be the center of attention, aren't much help, either. It'll be a miracle if Maka even survives, let alone manages to make Soul Eater into the Death Scythe.
