Fire Force finale hints at more from Soul Eater creator

In a surprising twist, the conclusion of the Fire Force manga not only marks the end of the series but also leaves fans with a sense of anticipation for what creator Atsushi Ohkubo has in store for them next. The final chapter of Fire Force reveals a shocking connection, as it unveils that the sci-fi fire fighting series actually takes place in the same universe and serves as a prequel to Ohkubo’s immensely popular fantasy adventure, Soul Eater. This revelation has left readers buzzing with excitement and speculation about the potential for more stories within this interconnected universe.

While Ohkubo had previously stated that Fire Force would be his final work and that he intended to retire once the manga concluded, the ending of the series leaves room for further interpretation. The cryptic message “look forward to Atsushi Ohkubo’s next work” at the conclusion of the manga raises intriguing possibilities for what the creator has planned next. Additionally, Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, the publication that hosted the serialization of Fire Force, has teased an “important announcement” regarding the future of the franchise. The nature of this announcement remains unknown, but it has undoubtedly piqued the curiosity of fans eager to delve deeper into the world Ohkubo has created.

Despite the speculation, it’s important to note that the message at the end of the manga does not necessarily indicate the immediate launch of another manga series. Many manga creators have concluded successful series and continued their involvement through various means, such as supervising licensing or contributing to other projects. Ohkubo’s previous statement about Fire Force being his final series adds an element of uncertainty to what lies ahead. However, fans remain hopeful that there will be more opportunities to explore this captivating universe in some form.

Fire Force, which first debuted in 2015, has garnered immense popularity and achieved a circulation of over 16 million copies worldwide. The anime adaptation, produced by David Production (known for the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure anime), premiered in 2019 and received positive reception. It subsequently aired a second season in 2020, further solidifying its fan base. At the time of this writing, a third season has not been officially announced, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any news that Kodansha’s “important announcement” might bring, especially regarding the continuation of the anime adaptation.

While Fire Force has certainly made its mark, Ohkubo remains best known for his previous work, Soul Eater. This fantasy series, published from 2004 to 2013, boasts an impressive circulation of nearly 20 million copies worldwide. Ohkubo revisited the Soul Eater universe with the spinoff series Soul Eater Not!, which was published in 2014. The enduring popularity and success of Soul Eater further heighten the anticipation surrounding any potential projects from Ohkubo.

For fans who want to relive the excitement or newcomers looking to immerse themselves in these captivating worlds, both seasons of the Fire Force anime are available for streaming on platforms such as Hulu, Funimation, and Crunchyroll. The Soul Eater anime is also available on these platforms, ensuring that audiences can experience the imaginative storytelling and vibrant animation that have made Ohkubo’s works so beloved. English translations of the Fire Force manga are available from Kodansha USA, while Soul Eater is distributed by Yen Press in North America.

As the Fire Force manga comes to an end, the possibilities for what lies ahead are tantalizingly open-ended. With the hint of more to come from Atsushi Ohkubo, fans eagerly await further revelations and announcements that will undoubtedly shape the future of these beloved franchises.
