I think it sounds good

Eh, if you actually pay attention to the themes of the series (mainly current generation doing better than previous generation and Maka and Soul supposedly paralleling Maka's parents in dynamic) and the fact that the nature of Soul and Maka's relationship right in the first chapter is established by Soul's line: "Cool men don't cheat on their partners" (and 'cheating' here specifically refers to romantic infidelity since Maka even compares it to Spirit's love life, not professional or even friendship disloyalty) actually kind of call that these two's relationship will eventually turn romantic in the future, making them...say, married to other people actually won't fit into this theme and cheapen it, it's either they spent their life married to each other (or the equivalent) or they're with no one. Soul's line establishing that the nature of their relationship is basically being no different to a romantic one (because it basically establishes that he can't stay as Maka's weapon while dating Blair) actually kind of made the idea of them being just 'Platonic Soulmates' incredibly awkward. So yeah, if you actually look closer to themes, these two staying strictly platonic in the long run doesn't actually fit (but it still makes sense that they never dated in the series proper considering they're both still really young and the line can only come full circle when they're old enough to make that kind of life-long commitment)

@@fyeruze1576 dawg what💀 But In all seriousness the author never wanted them in a romantic relationship(and still doesn’t, i think) , so I don’t i can see them in that way anymore🤷. Also Like you said about the “Cool men don’t cheat on their partners” I feel like soul said that in general while maka brought up her dad as an example. ( I think, idk i haven’t watched the show in years) If you see them as a romantic couple then it is what it is 🤷. The author intends to keep them as friends and I don’t mind if they stay together as friends.

Same comments like this remind me

The thing with these two are, they kinda gave the official straight couples in anime and manga a run for their money for just how deep and developed their bond went (the story spent a large chunk of its time exploring how these two navigate dysfunctions in their relationship and learning not to fall apart. Which is something every couple should strive for) so it just felt like a waste that you have this potential straight couple whose bond ran so deep (having the foundation of their relationship built from a strong friendship-something that a lot of manga and anime straight couples lack due to them usually not being allowed to be developed as friends first) only for them to not become an example of well-written friends to lovers couples. Plus as far as battle shonen goes, they have the bad reputation of having very poorly developed canon straight couples where the girl mostly exists as a love interest (due to the aforementioned anime straight couples often not being allowed to be developed as good friends first. It's always delivered by having a side female character having most of her personality revolve around crushing on the male main lead and has little role outside of that) if these two became canon, it'd actually be an exception of that and these two will go down in history as 'that one battle shonen who actually does the romance right' Soul Eater currently should have the reputation of 'that one show where the main girl and guy lead are just friends at last' which ended up not really making it feel that special or talked about much specifically for that reason. If anything you can see, how these two actually got outright ship teased numerous times to the point they made drama CDs which sole purpose is to have them say 'I love you' in romantic sense to each other, that it just made most people feel frustrated instead. In my opinion, Soul Eater does kinda a poor job when making their relationship strictly platonic since there are just way too many instances of blatant ship teasing between these two (Maka even at one point lowkey flirted with Soul that she wanted their relationship to be like Ox and Kim...who are boyfriend and girlfriend and aren't even weapon-meister partners like them. This is a blatant romantic text) and frankly, had they've gotten through with it and maybe confirm these two to be an item in an epilogue or smth (the usual married in the distant future thing) then I'm 100% sure Soul Eater's way of developing their romance would actually be talked about more around the anime community and hailed up as an example on how to do it right in an action-adventure show that don't necessarily want to overly focus on the romantic aspect of their relationship (just the overall foundation of why the relationship is very strong)
