Talk:Maka Albarn vs. Ruby Rose/@comment-37166424-20181125012151/@comment-3463132-20190120073416

Well it's just slightly strange to use lesser canon like an anime adaption (Soul Eater) vs the primary canon of animated RWBY. Particularly when anime Soul Eater changes the plot entirely to the point where it's a different story.

Anime: Kishin kills Arachne, Maka never even fights her

Manga: Maka kills Arachne, Kishin never even fights her

Anime: Maka kills Kishin with the confidence punch

Manga: Maka never kills Kishin at all, nor does she have 'weapon blood'

Anime: Maka never uses Black Blood

Manga: Maka gains the ability to use Black Blood

Anime: Death lives, no worries

Manga: Death dies, Kid becomes Death

Anime: Justin Law isn't a traitor to the DWMA and lives

Manga: Justin Law is a traitor to the DWMA and dies

And so on and so forth. The Bolded ones are literally power-ups Maka gets in the manga that the anime didn't bother to include likely because they were trying to be kid-friendly and Soul Eater most definitely after a point was not kid friendly.
