The level of fail exhibited by Maka and Soul recently has been pretty impressive. I'm somewhat amazed they managed to get their hands on 99 evil souls. I'd love to chock it up to black blood interference or something but at this point all I see is them just plain sucking in terms of both technique and power compared to pretty much everyone else. Maka is still smart which is probably the only thing that keeps them alive in battle but without some form of powerup I can't see how Soul and Maka are supposed to hurt anyone without whipping out a witch hunter.
