Soul Eater (folklore)
A soul eater is a folklore figure in the traditional belief systems of some African people, notably the Hausa people of Nigeria and Niger. Belief in soul eaters is related to traditional folk beliefs in witchcraft, zombies, and related phenomena. The soul eater is supposedly able to consume an individual's spirit, causing a wasting disease that can be fatal; "the soul eater is a classical form of the cannibalistic witch". In Hausa belief, the desire and capacity for the practice, termed ''maita,'' is rooted in special stones kept in a person's stomach. The trait allegedly can be inherited from one's parents, or can be acquired from an existing practitioner. The soul eater can take the form of a dog or other animal in pursuit of his or her practice—a belief that connects with the beliefs in werewolves, werecats, selkies, and other were-creatures and human/animal beings found in world folklore.

Soul Eater (manga)
is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Atsushi Ohkubo. Set at the "Death Weapon Meister Academy", the series revolves around three teams, each consisting of a weapon meister and (at least one) weapon that can transform into a humanoid. Trying to make the latter a "death scythe" and thus fit for use by the academy's headmaster Shinigami, the personification of death, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and one witch, in that order; otherwise, they will have to start all over again. The manga was preceded by three separate one-shots published by Square Enix in 2003; the first two published in two ''Gangan Powered'' special editions and the last one in ''Gangan Wing''. ''Soul Eater'' was regularly serialized in Square Enix's ''Monthly Shōnen Gangan'' magazine from May 2004 to August 2013. Its chapters were collected in twenty-five ''tankōbon'' volumes. A fifty-one episode anime television series adaptation produced by Bones was broadcast in Japan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
