Crona (クロナ, Kurona), infamously known as the Demon Sword (魔剣, Maken), is a demon swordsman, the weapon partner of a demon sword, Ragnarok, and the the biological child of the infamous witch, Medusa Gorgon. Subservient to their mother, Crona served as Medusa's test subject as she tried ascending her child into becoming a kishin with the usage of the black blood to create a new evolution of meister and weapon bonding.

Two long pieces of hair extend from the bangs and hang low over Crona's face

Power

Anime

Crona's soul swelling.

Crona is a remarkably dangerous opponent, capable of defeating Maka Albarn partnered up with the demon scythe, Soul Eater and was able to withstand the punishing power of Death the Kid's assault. Lord Death held his power in considerable esteem, opting out to making them an ally and remarking they needed someone of his caliber in the academy for dealing with future threats.

However, despite their power, Crona was no match for the likes of Giriko, who rivaled a death scythe in combat. Furthermore, Crona was also in no league with the likes of Professor Stein partnered up with Death Scythe (Spirit Albarn).

Special Abilities

Crona manipulates Black Blood.

Black Blood (黒血, Kokketsu): A special blood type developed by Medusa, it allows Crona to weaponize their blood and manipulate it by controlling it's ability to harden. Because of it, the Black Blood grants Crona durability capable of stopping magic weapons from cutting them by hardening blood vessels and resilient against physical attacs from barehands. Crona also proved durable enough to outright block Maka's variations of witch hunter with their wrist.

• Ragnarok (ラグナロク, Ragunaroku): Due to their blood mixed in with a demon weapon, Ragnarok is capable of manifest out of Crona's back at will and transform into their weapon mode in addition.
• Madness of Black Blood (黒血の発狂,, Kurodji no Hakkyō): A special form of madness from the black blood that allows Crona to not feel any sort of feat, enhancing their combat capabilities.

Crona attacks Maka.

Art of the Sword (剣術, Kenjutsu): A demon swordsman, Crona is skilled in swordplay; they're powerful enough to gain the contend with Maka Albarn twice in combat, gaining the upper-hand in their first encounter. Crona's fighting style revolves around awkward and erratic movements, being somewhat unpredictable, and closing the gap in on an opponent. When facing other meisters, Crona also utilizes screech resonance to punish a meister blocking with their weapon with the technique's ability to damage a unsuspecting demon weapon in their weapon form.

Wavlength Control (波長コントロール, Hachō Kontorōru): As a meister, Crona is capable of manipulating their own wavelength alongside their magic weapon partner.

Trivia

Michal Solusod's tweet on masculine pronouns usage for Crona.

• While official translation from FUNimation used male pronouns, Micah Solusod (voice actor for Soul Eater) stated the usage of male pronouns was for gender-neutral reasons, using "he" as in referring to "mankind" instead of "it", in which felt too demeaning. In addition to this, FUnimation's usage of masculine pronouns is not to be taken as a official assigning of Crona's definitive sex.
