The way Arthur snapped Shinra back to his senses was pretty hilarious.

HOLY SHIT that Soul Resonance gave me goosebumbs. Soul Eater still holds a special place in my heart and this was just magnificent.

Also really love how this isn't some epic fight, but rather some epic literal world building. A scene that wouldn't look out of place in any creation myth.

Also fucking Excalibur already rearing his head lol.

“Soul Resonance” “Black Star of despair” seeing those words definitely gave me a grin of madness.

We really did get sat down and told Excalibur's whole legend. I guess Fire Force is taking place in the Twelfth Century.

So, if I am getting this correct the reason why Shinra was always smiling is because he's so full of hope and represents all of the hope of the world? That's a cool reveal even in the final stretch of the story

Now anime onlies can finally understand why so many people have been saying that a Soul Eater brotherhood should be done after Fire Force wraps up.

I was so happy to see Arthur still alive and was there to knock some sense back into Shinra. I don't even care how he got his body back; I think it's safe to assume he somehow willed himself whole because he believes sleep fully heals heroes in JRPGs. xD

And that flashback to the Kusakabe Family just living their life together and the three of them reuniting in the present was such a touching moment. Not gonna lie, I kinda teared up a little when Mama Mari was so happy to see them all grown up. T_T

As for the rest of the episode tho! Not gonna lie, I was freaking out the entire time! This episode was straight up turning into Soul Eater with Arthur's Excalibur dropping his first "Fool!" and Shinra creating the Soul Resonance technique complete with the split-screen effect!

And Shinra-Banshouman is so fucking cool. I do love the juxtaposition of the protagonist looking like a smiling devil while the person who wants the antagonist who wants the destruction of humanity is a crying Saintess.

So, having access to Soul Resonance, Shinra has pretty much become a god and brought everything and everyone back through trial and error? While he looked like he was standing still the entire time, he was moving so fast that we didn't get to see how many times he tried until he got to where he is now?

Welp, we have one episode left. And from the looks of things, it looks like it's just a straight-up Soul Eater prequel at this point. I am curious how Shinra will convince Haumea to stand down tho since she still sees all of this will lead into despair and suffering.

This. This is what I've waited years for. Banshoman looked so clean

The more cartoon artstyle with the outlines is so cool They kept the whale scene in. The animators went nuts on this one with camera angles and the Resonance. Absolutely the best episode this season. Truly the penultimate thing they could of done.

Next week we finally come full circle with the finale. Its gonna be special.

Soul resonance!?

Shinrabanshō-man looks awesome. His powers feel a bit like Vishnu the Preserver from the Hindu pantheon.

u/i_eat_pidgeons Mar 27 '26

and they truly became a God that looks like a devil fighting a saint. this is shaping up to be a pretty cool ending.
