Humans (人間, Ningen) are a common species in the normal world.[1]

History[]

Asura claims that the world that included humanity (the "normal" and metaphorical "insane" world caused by the presence of madness) was created by Death at his whims and that since their creation, they were regulated to be nothing more then Death's puppets.[2]

Overview[]

The true nature of that of a Human is mostly unknown. However, they're beings in which are governed by that of the True Death God, in which part of their purpose is to serve as judges of their quality of their good and evil. Both the DWMA and the Eight Reaper Legions that came before them collected the souls of evil humans under the behest of Death because of his renown ability to judge the quality of souls and add those evil to his Shinigami's List.[3] This is done to ensure a balance between good and evil.[4]

Soul[]

Mifune's Soul

A Mighty Soul.

A human soul in their basic, hitoma-like form is indistinguishable from that of other human souls whether they're good or evil. The power of the human soul holds vast capabilities. Unlike the majority of souls, a good human soul is capable of endowing great power. Maka Albarn stated that it is the human souls that allow greater power when collected.[3] A number of human souls can be used to create either a Demon Sword, Kishin, or Death Scythe (99 specifically in the case of Death Scythe).[5][6] The strongest of a human soul is capable of manifesting into what is known as a Mighty Soul. Those with Mighty Souls hold so much power from the soul that they're capable of counting as 99 evil human souls entire should they be killed and consumed by a Demon Weapon. Only Mifune is a known possessor of a mighty soul.[7]
