New relic anima weapon

[LineageRazor]

But the weapons in Soul Eater (relax, it's an S-E property), start out as humans and learn how to turn into weapons at DWMA.

Well, technically, they can turn into weapons before they even come to the academy. In fact, that's one of the signs they should start attending. This was covered in a bit more detail in "Soul Eater Not!", a side-series to Soul Eater that focused on a weapon who had no plans of becoming a combatant but still needed tutelage to understand and control her weapon transformations. When she started randomly changing into a halberd, she knew it was time to pack up and head to Death City Academy.

I just hope we get to keep this little guy/gal in some open-ended capacity, and the next relic quest won't require us to kill them to proceed, with a dramatic farewell and ironically upbeat music playing in the background like the sound team didn't get the memo that Serah is dying on the floor.

Unfortunately, I can totally see this happening.

Weapon: Master, thank you so much! I am now an independent being! I love being alive, I love being who I am, and I love you!
Gerolt: Welp, this weapon has evolved pretty much as far as it can go. For the next stage, I propose we melt it down into a glaze and use it to coat this new prototype weapon I created!
Me: *Stoic nod*
Weapon: Eh, wha...?
