Okay, I pretty much get how Demon Weapons and Death Scythes work. I get how
Kishin's work too. However, on the Wiki, it says that the process of becoming
a Kishin is "initially exclusive to Demon Weapons" and requires the "merging
between a non-Demon Weapon and a Demon Weapon", which would be a Demon Weapon
eating Kishin Eggs (or souls not on the Shimigami's list).

Basically, you need a Demon Sword before you can have a Kishin.

We know that Asura _ate_ his Demon Sword and became a Kishin so my question is
this: who exactly is able to become a Kishin? What would've happened if
Asura's Demon Sword continued to eat human souls? Although it was never
mentioned or seen in the Soul Eater universe, could a Demon Weapon/Demon Sword
--perfectly capable of killing and eating by themselves-- become a Kishin
without a meister?

What happens to Demon Weapons who eat innocent souls?


**"Who exactly is able to become a Kishin?"**

It has been stated in both the anime and the manga that humans cannot consume
souls, only demon weapons. Yet Don Al Capone, a human, was seen eating human
souls in the anime. The result of his soul consumption turned him into a
Kishin egg, the first step in becoming a Kishin (to my understanding, first
you become a Kishin egg, then a Demon Sword, then a Kishin).

However, that only applies in the anime. In the manga, there are no "Kishin
eggs" only Shinigami's list of evil _human_ souls that only Lord Death can
distinguish to be evil.

If you are referring to the manga, I'd say only demon weapons can become
Kishin except for Asura who consumed his weapon which was already a Demon
Sword. By swallowing his weapon he gained the ability to eat souls.

However, in the anime humans can become Kishin eggs, but it seems unlikely
that they would turn into "Demon Swords" because they are still humans--not
Demon Weapons. On the contrary, Jack the Ripper's hands appear to be
completely replaced with claws which, in some way, makes his body a weapon, so
I suppose it's plausible.

**"What would've happened if Asura's Demon Sword continued to eat human
souls?"**

If Asura continued to feed Vajra human souls, then Vajra would have been the
one to become the Kishin, so long as he wasn't eaten first.

**"Could a Demon Weapon become a Kishin without a meister?"**

Demon Weapons are fully capable of consuming souls. And, assuming that they
are able to kill humans on their own, yes, they could become a Kishin without
a meister.

However, some weapons such as Nygus or Liz (or Patty but not together as a
Weapon/Meister pair, individually) are probably unable to turn a specific part
of their body into their weapon form that can be used effectively like Soul
and Justin Law. Such people may be incapable of becoming a Kishin solo.
