/Justin Lo/¹

The world of Soul Eater is based on madness, the concept of souls, and protecting the world from falling into chaos.
The essence and laws of the world order
The soul is a reflection of personality: In this universe, the soul has a physical form (visible to those with "soul perception"). The shape and color of the soul reflect a person's character, strength, and state of mind.
Weapons and Lords: People are divided into two types:
Weapons - people who can transform into living weapons (scythes, pistols, swords).
Masters are those who tame weapons and fight with them, synchronizing the waves of their souls.
Weapons Institute (Shinigami Academy / DWMA): An educational institution founded by the God of Death (Shinigami) himself in Nevada City. The Academy's purpose is to train Weapon-Lord pairs and collect the souls of those who have strayed from the path of evil.
Main Threat: Demon Gods (Kishin) and Madness
Danger of Fall: If a person begins to devour the souls of the innocent for power, their own soul becomes defiled. They risk becoming Kishin—a demonic deity that brings absolute madness.
Wave of Madness: Kishin's appearance spreads a chaotic atmosphere that causes ordinary people and mages alike to lose their minds, succumb to fear, and commit violent acts.
Creation of the "Death Scythe": To prevent a catastrophe and create a weapon capable of countering Kishin, the pair must gather 99 evil souls (from the Academy's list) and one witch's soul. The weapon then receives the status of "Death Scythe" and becomes the Shinigami's personal arsenal.
The fundamental conflict of the world is the constant struggle between Order (upheld by the Shinigami and the Academy) and Madness (brought about by the Witches, the Kishin, and the corrupted souls).

Religious Fanatic: Justin is utterly devoted to the Overlord of Death (Shinigami-sama), treating him like a god and constantly praying. He draws all his fighting strength from this blind faith.
Lip Reading: With music constantly blasting in his ears, he can't hear anyone. He communicates with others solely through his perfect lip reading skills. If the person he's speaking to turns away or covers their mouth, Justin simply continues talking, oblivious to the inconvenience.
Polite but dangerous: In his normal state, he is polite, calm, and even friendly. However, in battle, he is cold-blooded and merciless, sincerely believing he is dispensing "divine justice."

Dress code: Justin resembles a Catholic priest. He wears a long black robe with a white collar and silver crosses. He wears a kamilavka (a special headdress) with blond hair sticking out from underneath.
The main feature: He almost never takes off his headphones, which play heavy music (mostly techno) at maximum volume.
Weapon: His true form is a guillotine. In combat, he can partially transform his body, turning his arms into razor-sharp blades.
