Barrett, Sid

死人・バレット

A man who died and became a zombie. School rumors claimed he became obsessed with the concept of absolute freedom and began attacking students to demonstrate the liberty death had granted him. When Sid was discovered in the graveyard, he fought his opponents by wielding his own gravestone as a makeshift weapon with great effectiveness. It appeared that Dr. Stein had turned him into a zombie, leading Maka and Black Star's teams to target him as part of their remedial lessons. This was later revealed to be a ruse orchestrated by Shinigami and Dr. Stein to teach the students how to perceive and utilize soul energy (only Maka could see it following the assignment). Since then, Sid has served as a spy to gather intelligence on the witches and their schemes. He frequently remarks that he has always been "that kind of man" (even when alive) and discusses actions he was unable to perform in life but can now execute as a zombie. During his lifetime, Sid was a three-star meister and a knife meister. Dr. Stein assumed his former duties. He continues to visit the school to assist students and teachers in any way possible. Sid's motivation for aiding the school is that it aligns with what he would have done while alive. He is named after Syd Barrett, the original frontman of Pink Floyd.
Attacks: Sid employs his own gravestone as a weapon or utilizes Nygus in her knife form. He is also capable of executing sniper attacks using Azusa.
Living End: Sid's signature move, in which he uses his gravestone to slam his opponent into the ground, generating a massive cross of soul energy. This technique can be performed both on the ground and in mid-air.
Compulsive Burial: Sid initiates Soul Resonance with Nygus, then drives her (in knife form) into the earth, causing coffins to emerge beneath a target and function as an escape route. This technique provides a straightforward means of retreat via a tunnel extending directly downward.
