As I thought, the interesting part of this particular arc lies in the second half of the story. It's like there are 3 separate stories here. The first one is the continuation of Chrona vs. Kid's fight, which is far more intense than Chrona vs. Maka's fight seen a few episodes ago. I think if Kid wasn't too pre-occupied with irrelevant things, he'd probably be able to defeat Chrona. The second story is the continuation of Maka/Soul's problem with the Black Blood and Medusa's involvement in it. It's nice to know that this particular plot is resolved right away. The last part of the story is actually a sub-plot of the second one but I feel that it actually gives side characters like Sid-sensei and Eruka a bit more exposure than what they normally get in this series. I just hope that this is not the end of their characters because I'd like to see how powerful the adults are in comparison to the students.
