Death's list (死神様のリスト, Shinigami-sama no Risuto) is a list of individuals whose souls are judged to be evil by Death. Formerly followed by the Eight Reaper Legions, it has since also been adopted by Death Weapon Meister Academy.[1]

Overview[]

People added onto the list are considered evil and thus, their souls are permitted to be hunted and devoured without consequence to one's sanity.[2] This list is complied of humans and human-based beings, such as werewolves and even some demon tool soldiers.[citation needed] After an individual is added onto Death's List, this changes a quality in their soul to the point that a skilled user of Soul Perception can track an individual who've made the list.[3]

Witches are exempt from this list due to their soul protect technique, allowing them to disguise themselves as good people.[4]

Significance with the DWMA[]

Although good, innocent souls are the ones that grant people power,[5] one of DWMA's academy's rules only permit the hunting of evil souls and hunting for the good souls is prohibited as well as the over-hunting of them according to Maka Albarn.[6] This rule is followed fiercely by those from the DWMA; even when a DWMA student was threatened by an individual who attempted assassination, they spared the perpetrator on the grounds of them not being on Death's list.[7]

Trivia[]

Kishin egg

Kishin Egg.

  • In the anime, Death’s list is replaced with the concept of Kishin Eggs, which are souls that are corrupted from consuming human souls and are on their way to becoming a Kishin. These souls are easily sensed by those with skill in Soul Perception and does not require Death's hand in determining what classifies as an evil or good human.
