About this book

As Maka and a team of DWMA students slip into Baba Yaga Castle in the guise of Arachnophobian guards, BlackStar opts for his usual style of entrance: loud and without a trace of subtlety! But although BlackStar doesn't seem to have changed much on the outside, inwardly he has at last found the way to harness the true power of the Uncanny Sword. And that means he's ready to test his blade in a round three rematch against swordsman Mifune! Will Black*Star's transformation be enough? Or will he once again find himself at the mercy of the great samurai?!

Censorship history

In 2024, "Soul Eater, Vol. 13" was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to concerns over violence and offensive language. Notably, the ban was upheld following a series of formal complaints from parents and local advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that favored the removal of the book from library shelves. Specific instances of challenges occurred in states like Texas and Florida, where school officials faced pressure from parent-teacher associations to restrict access to the title. The controversy surrounding the book reflects ongoing debates about content appropriateness in educational settings.
