In the second to last episode of the _Soul Eater_ anime, Death the Kid
connects all three Lines of Sanzu. According to the lore, the Lines of Sanzu
only connect when a person is ready to become the next Grim Reaper. Since only
one Grim Reaper can exist at a time, this usually means the current Reaper
drops dead immediately. There came a crack in Lord Death's mask when Kid did
it, but he survived.

Why, then, doesn't Lord Death die? Is it because Kid only _unconsciously_
connected the lines?

Why doesn't Lord Death die even though Death the Kid connects all three Lines of Sanzu?
