Both Fire Force and Soul Eater are wild anime with a shared creator, Atsushi Ohkubo, and some similar vibes. But are they actually connected in the story itself? I noticed some hints in Fire Force, but wasn’t sure if I was just imagining things.
Do these two series take place in the same world, or at different times? Maybe there are some cool easter eggs or references between them? Any Soul Eater or Fire Force fans out there who can help me connect the dots?

Yes, Fire Force and Soul Eater are indeed connected universes created by the same mangaka, Atsushi Ohkubo. Fire Force actually takes place before Soul Eater in the timeline.
The connection wasn’t always explicitly clear, but fans theorized it based on some recurring elements and themes. The final chapters of Fire Force confirmed this by showing Shinra from Fire Force playing a crucial role in creating the world and characters of Soul Eater, including the shinigami Death himself. We even see glimpses of the main characters from Soul Eater as children in the new world Shinra helps create.
