Both Fire Force and Soul Eater are action-packed anime with a unique art style and a focus on fantastical abilities. While the stories seem distinct, I’ve noticed some interesting similarities like themes of soul manipulation and characters with spiky hair. Are Fire Force and Soul Eater set in the same world, or are these just fun callbacks by the creator?
Yes, Fire Force and Soul Eater are indeed connected universes! It’s not just a shared creator, Atsushi Ohkubo, but the stories themselves take place in the same world across a vast time gap.
Fire Force actually functions as a prequel to Soul Eater. The ending of Fire Force reveals Shinra’s actions have a lasting impact, shaping the world for Soul Eater’s events.
Here are some clues that hint at the connection:
- Characters: Some characters, like Excalibur, appear in both series, though younger in Fire Force.
- The Moon: The iconic grinning moon from Soul Eater makes an appearance in Fire Force.
- Concepts: Both series share concepts like madness, souls, and a being similar to the Shinigami from Soul Eater.
