Namely, how the themes of teamwork felt abandoned in place of a conclusion that favored only a few characters rather than the team the series had been about. The divergence from the source material at the ending of its anime adaptation was criticized for numerous reasons. It followed a group of "Weapon Meisters" and their sentient weapons as they attend an academy to learn to become grim reapers to hunt monsters. Like Brotherhood, Soul Eater was a production by Studio Bones, and it was overseen by director Takuya Igarashi of Ouran High School Host Club and Bungo Stray Dogs fame. One such request was a remake of 2008's Soul Eater, a show that was received well, especially in the west on Cartoon Network, but that was criticized for its ending, which diverged from the manga. He is now the Supreme Commander of the World Heroes Force, and he watches as his child (who looks suspiciously like Inca), is enlisted into the force.When Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was released to huge critical acclaim, audiences everywhere saw the potential in remaking anime adaptations that suffered from similar issues as the original FMA. The next, and last time we see Shinra it’s after the 25 year time skip. As mentioned above Inca isn’t searching for romance but rather wants Shinra the hero’s baby, which he rejects. At this time Shinra makes it clear that he has Iris, meaning that the two have finally gotten together. In the epilogue chapters, we can see Shinra hunting down Inca and cleaning up the mess she keeps making. The demon is now the hero of this brand-new fun world. You know what they say, always save the best for last! As we all know from the end of the main Fire Force series, Shinra has saved the planet and recreated it, without despair. Could this be one of Arthur’s kids? I guess we’ll never know… Shinra KusakabeĪnd lastly, we have the main character of the series, Shinra Kusakabe. This could also mean that the “King Arthur” Excalibur claims he served in Soul Eater is actually the loveable idiot Arthur.Īlthough we don’t get to see a proper look at Arthur after the time skip we do see a younger character that looks almost identical to him. Arthur’s sword Excalibur is also there alongside him, now with a physical manifestation, much like his form in Fire Force. Together they seem to be hunting a dragon-like creature, alongside the World Heroes Force, making Arthur feel some nostalgia. We last see him in the first epilogue chapter alongside his pals Shinra and Ogun. Since then Arthur has been brought back and is now a part of the weird world that Shinra has created. That’s right it’s Arthur Boyle, the Knight King! In the last arc of the series Arthur gained some major power-ups and after a long fight with Dragon, he managed to defeat the creature, while also “dying” himself. Here we have another fan favourite character who may or may not have died earlier on in the series. So if you haven’t read the latest chapters, go do that and come back! Tamaki Kotatsu & Takeru Noto So let’s break it all down and see what every major character is up to in the newly Shinra-created Soul World! Also, please keep in mind that there will be heavy spoilers ahead. However, we do get a brief glance of what they’ve been up to post-finale thanks to the above-mentioned epilogue. Sadly, we don’t see any of our favourite Fire Force characters in Soul Eater. These two chapters served as an epilogue to the Fire Force series and proved once and for all that Fire Force is a prequel to Soul Eater. There is plenty of evidence throughout the series that the two are connected but it wasn’t officially confirmed until the last two chapters of Fire Force. This bombshell would of course be the recent revelation that two of his famous works, Fire Force and Soul Eater, are connected! But before leaving the manga industry for good, (presumably), Ōkubo dropped one last bombshell on all of his readers. That’s right, as stated himself multiple times, Ōkubo is officially retiring now that his latest series, Fire Force, has come to an end. Fire Force has officially concluded and ending alongside it is the career of the famous mangaka Atsushi Ōkubo.
