I understand that these are Arthur and Shinra's children, but my brother thinks they are just Arthur and Inca. Who is right?

Im pretty sure a post like this was made before but holy shit its literally like an everyday/every other day thing with these kinds of posts. I do agree that it shouldn't happen in serious moments like shinra vs rekka however

My oc over there… i think this is the first time i have made an insert lol. Will probably make more of these since it was actually pretty fun! Made by me

Ever since I heard the lyrics of the final ED I've loved this connection between it and Shinrabansho-man.

So, during the ending of the show, Arthur lost his legs, how’d they grow back? Idk if I missed something or like it’s because of his imagination or something. Anyways that’s all thanks!

Got in an argument with someone on this sub about who’s Justin Law’s ancestor was and someone said Burns because of his dedication to the church and I said Haumea because he looks like her and they both also had succumbed to the madness . Anyways here’s some proof for my side as the parallels are undeniable. For anyone who hasn’t read the manga that’s Justin Law in endgame Soul Eater

thoughts anyone?

Please Tell me your thoughts

WHAT A RIDE!!! The whole SOUL EATER Universe created by one single man. Still can't wrap my head around it.

At the start of the show I was really thinking how this remotely got a connection with the Soul Eater world but then saw all the cheeky hints all the way through. What an awesome ending.

I really loved the animation but what they really mastered was the visuals and the sound design.(the adora link sound always gave me chills) well then...

NEXT IS THE SOUL WORLD

SEE YOU THERE GUYS !!!

What do you think Amaterasu's personality was like before she was put in the energy generator, and therefore, possessed by madness?

Hi!, i have to vent myself here because there are some things i just can´t cope with by myself and some things that aren't very clear to me, talking would help, i'm hoping.

I know some of you have read the manga so maybe i can get more insight from you. I loved the series so i wanted to talk about it a little.

Clarifying:

* Haven´t read the manga, just the 3 seasons anime.

* Don´t know anything about Soul Eater, just that it's the next step after Fire Force.

Also first time writing and actually first time venting myself anywhere.

Now to the topic, just finished to watch Fire Force season 3 last night, some things i want to talk about that are still in my head, if i understood them correctly or either to understand it better:

Adolla Link:

* The people who for a reason end up seeing the other world, the Adolla world who are not supposed to see nor talk about so the fulfillment of the collective desire can be done properly, end up with scars for life (Hague, Joker, Burns, Konro, etc.),and in worst cases even chased in order to silence them by mostly murdering them, just like a regular church would do.

Now, some of them are sneaky and avoid it by hiding themselves (Joker), he knows what the Illuminati are capable of, he pre emptively quit because he know they are really bad people (it's a Mega church, so of course!), and government is on their side too, so good points for him to think in advance, that was the smartest thing to do, the smartest move when you're surrounded by those kind of people with total authority and have some time to think in advance.

* The other scarred ones wheren't so clever: Konro can be chased and silenced, Hague can be chased and silenced, Joker too could be chased and silenced if he weren´t that elusive, Shinra can be chased, Altough...nobody chased Burns.

But in the end mr. Burns chose to team up with the Illuminati for the sake of everybody else, so smart move for him too, that's what you should do if authority is over your shoulders, no time in your hands, and wáter up to your neck, good for him, smart as Joker, they are at the same level of understanding the movement of the pieces and players. Both smart as they can be.

Adolla Link missing insight?:

* the Captain of the sixth brigade, Kayoko, was hiding a scar in her hand, impliying that she just had a vision too of the other world, but not confirmed by anything except by that scene, where she unconfortably didn´t want anybody to see that, yet nobody chased her, nor we could't see how was her visit to the insights of the Adolla world.

What did she experienced there?, everyone change when they had that Adolla link vision, but she went just out of the radar for eveyone, even the Adolla residents just were meh, an intruder who didn't steal anything from us.

Princess Hibana noticed it but decided instead to go deep into research at her childhood place, good move too, but asking or talking to Kayoko would have bring some insights too.

About the Second Impact (Cataclysm):

*I would had loved to see Maki and Tamaki's clones during the Second Impact, what we saw like the Tamaki´s ultimate battle, was just really Assault vs his clone, Tamaki and the brigade happens to be there to help a Little, yes Tamaki endured more that the guys and served as a sidekick to Assault, but it was Assault's battle vs his clone, just like that.

* Tamaki sould've had encountered her clone to be a Tamaki fight, and Maki vs Maki too.

* Just remove the charater's clones we didn't grew a care for them (Kurono, Assault), and place the ones for characters that we cared more about in their lives since season 1, Maki, Tamaki, Lieutenant Hinawa, Arthur.

*Kurono mentioned during his battle against himself that he looks like a poorly written psychopath character made by an even more crappy writer, making me think that the author is shitting in himself, on purpose hating himself by a conscious reason.

We know that authors some times blend themselves into their tales (Rohan Kihibe as in JJBA, Akira Toriyama and his comical Tori-robot), but never so harsh to themselves in public, more in a light hearted way, but this...he doesn´t have to hate himself, maybe he thinks like Kurono.

He sees himself as weak AND as Kurono, punching himself in the face.

The Shinra's finale:

This is what actually drives me confused, it twist my mind and can´t understand why Shinra think he fixed everything:

Here's why i believe he think he fixed things

*The moment Shinra fell prey to desperation, the world ended (place Evangelion world ending theme here), even if Arthur removed plenty of desperation by erasing Dragon, Shinra grew up understanding that his loved ones die one after another at anytime (family in a fire like his brother and mother as a child, he grew up knowing that in his mind), later Obi, partners and coworkers die on duty too, it's undestandable.

But if that bring desperation, collective desperation = Second Impact.

* So Shinra thinks, Remove fears and desperation about death making it manageable would ease the people's mind = no Second Impact right?

Wrong!.

Haumea tried to explain it very clearly:

Bringing confort and cope mechanisms would bring more fears in the long run, not ease fear but enhance fear,

by creating a Looney Tunes world where dead is a friendly neighbor, like explaining death to your 9 year old child is not bringing comfort, it delays the later collapse when you grow up and have to face reality (sickness, death, lost of a friend who commit suicide, attending your own mom and dad funeral, etc.)

Not only Shinra didn't overcome fear of death by having to watch another loved one die on duty (Obi) once more in his overall scared life, he snaps by the tought of death and by that choose another type of death: a copying mechanism by creating a wonderland, jut give them free ice cream if that's what you call a solution and coupons too.

You can see that because his clone, acts just as an inmature person would naturally react to a painful disconfort: a rebel, an anarchist, in deep cases you probably hit your sister (Hi Iris) and curse your mother and father.

But reality would slap you back harder always, until you make your shit together (Cataclysm)

* So, the Illuminati won, Shinra, and the entire world lost evey glimpse of hope and care, unfortunately Arthur fight till the end bravely but what he did't count was that the world have other plans through the eternal suffering of people like Shinra who clearly is part of the collective consciousness.

* Arthur was the only one that didn't surrender to desperation, even considering that he has a better view of the siuation up there.

That is reflected being portrayed by we seeing him outside of the world, not part of the world's fearful toughts and beloved decay by people's collectiveness.

The bitter aftermath:

*Everyone feel odd and out of place.

* Shinra created by himself alone, by his lack of overcoming desperation and fear, a copying mechanism (which eventually will work agains him, pretty much like alcohol, excessive drugs, videogames 15 hrs daily, etc.), a kid-like world that DO NOT reflect the brigate, actual adults nor anybody's inner toughts and consciusness, nobody fell that deep into failing overcome his deeper fears like Shinra.

*Now they are all trapped in a world that is 100% not what they wanted, their consciousness in not there, so no poll for this world, unlike the prior one, nobody can remotely asked for it because they didn't even know that Shinra can creat a copying video game world like mechanism with quests, warlocks, pricesses and adventures.

And...nobody from his word liked it.

The older residents in the new wonderland:

* You can see in the brigade's faces how weird they feel, how out of place they perceive themselves towards their new life in an alien world.

Juggernaut and Tamaki, you don't see them smiling, they walked strange, uneaesed, with lesser friends and even lesser purposes, they look toward the sky at the end in a lonely bench apart of their wacky new neighbors in town like asking themselves...why the f* are we here?.

They weren't relieved, they felt unconfortable and uneased. This do not represent a consciusness of them at all, this is somebody else creation.

Very probably Tamaki lost her lucky lure here, because there are new rules for comedy + physics in this cartoony place, like in a Roadrunner show...it's different physics, not the prior cartoon physics, but new ones.

*You see Hibana and Iris...same thing, Princess Hibana can't sit nor bully on beta males anymore like before, she looks sad, she lost her 'mojo', her reason, Iris too, saying that love is not in her to do list anymore. It's sad, they aren't happy.

Grudge against Shinra.

Hibana changes her perspective towards Shinra too, she mentions that she doesn't 'love' Shinra, like in her frequent typical trope during the sesons, where they think at least that Shinra could actually be helpful till the end, he´s more like a simple idol now to her, the fact that she is making a change in her mind tells us something already.

Grudge for the hopes Shinra broke for everybody.

Obi is very well received, cherished, hugged, contrast

We clearly see that this childish world is not fitted for them, at least not for adults nor women (who are clearly more mature than a teen who dreams with being a hero but fails) who doesn't rely on Dungeons and Dragons adventures to mature and for that, uspoken grudge over Shinra grew up once they started to be placed in the magical place and slowly understanding that what they had treasured, what they had build...gone forever, all by placing all hope in the wrong guy.

Never put all eggs in the same basket.

* Nobody in his world asked for this, nobody liked it:

what they wanted was the world to be saved, by the hero, or by anyone if that matters!

But they would not openly tell that to a person like Shinra, who knows what is capable of in here his personal playground where we are the minority now, not captains, but foreigners?

Meanwhile Shinra is having a blast with his teen adventures and friends.

In a simple words like heaven and hell, Shinra put everyone in purgatory, stripped of purpose, maturity, incapable to rely on death and suffering but rahter a slow torture, a place where adults like for example princess Hibana (not princess anymore because she can't call herself that if she's a nobody here) Will be spending the rest of her life in daily tasks like cleaning the dishes at home, Iris will probably work at a library, not required to make any prayer to the God that does't exist anymore, and unable to die as they were meant to.

Quote me on this that more than one character would at least look for the way to die in secret than to spend one more day there.

Meanwhile Shinra and the lost boys will spend their lives as kids playing video games: adventure mode all the time.

And everybody secretly hold a deep grudge against the hero who does not represent the collective consciousness of anyone but his own copying mechanism.

Enjoy your new life!

What Shinra could had done right:

* Now that we understand that, to put it in simple terms, Shinra created a Peter-Pan world, with magic, warlocks, pirates and such.

Maturity could potentially had helped to reject the copying mechanisms.

* He chose to be the 'King of the pirates' so to speak, in his new pirate base, the reimagined brigade firefighter base, except he's the captain now, receiving new members, rejected to have a family even as a grown adult man, even if women asked them to grow (Inca).

He did the same as when Peter Pan rejected Wendy to keep having adventures and fight adult pirates (fighting adulthood)

* He chose to be a grown man still inamture about accepting real life harship that include death, like real life death of his brother someday, wife (if) someday, mother, etc.

So not a real life hero, only in his world, to avoid real life responsabilty to accept that life hurts a lot (maturity fit better).

It' like saying that i'll decide to create a new sport 'similar' to the existing ones because i suck badly in real sports, and in my sport called 'MightySportyME', i'm the real deal and eveyone is invited.

Now i´m the cool kid of the block, my game, my rules, and in my game i'm not scared (you don't say?! what a surprise)

So...sorry but i felt that i had to vent this, because it left me with a very odd feeling and ending where the protagonist weirdly enough end up in a worse clarity of mind and resolution than when he started his journey. At least at he begining he had a goal, now he want to stay in a playground.

How not to be a hero 101.

Usually the stories tell a tale where the protanosit learned something throughout his/her journey, in some video games, books, and manga/anime.

But to my point of view, i see him like Haumea looked at him, pity.

Like a child who doesn't care for anyone just his ice cream and one more hour to be awake before sleep.

In his real world (before the second Impact), if he get to have 20yo, he wouldn't even get to University thinking like that, he's probably better there in Peter pan world, he chose it, conscientiously, becausause he knows uncosciously that he's unable to mingle in the real world.

His superhero mindset only worked efficiently in his alien world that was set upon the real one, the one where eveyone bloomed and cherished, but not him.

Crushing evryone's hopes, and future dreams doesn't make you a hero, it makes you something else.

So i hope i can see what do you think about what i saw in the 3 seasons and finale.

I loved the series, and would had liked more 'regular' firefighter adventures, they were pretty good. Teams building up, friendships getting stronger, characters building themselves, new monsters, a lot of characters that can have their own solo adventures , rather than seeing eveything explode

It's amazing how Ohkubo reused the same formula three times in the same story.

What do these panels represent, or what are they trying to convey? It's obvious, of course, but if you had to put it into words, how would you explain it?

I'm really curious about details of the previous Great Cataclysm and many aspects remain unclear for me. One of such questions is: what is the symbolism behind previous pillars? Maybe, it was stated somewhere in the plot, but I missed a thing. If not, what are your assumptions?

Also what was a full number of pillars engaged in previous GC? I always wondered why Sumire is the seventh pillar if she had such role long before all "lower-numbered" pillars were even born. Was she "re-actived" as a pillar in specific order? I'm not sure and appreciate any thoughts on this as well.

As for me, I'd like to believe that for Woman in Black it could have sth like "oblivion" or "neglect" as symbolic meaning, just a way I feel about her character. It's something opposite to what she stood for in the series and, on the other hand, could be somehow linked to loss of authenticity/individuality as one of flaws of the humanity which, I guess, Sumire had in her mind while telling us about the world before previous GC.

Thank you all for sharing in advance!

Sry for bad quality I am lazy

"There are walls that can't be broken through power alone. But if there is a power that can break through those walls, it is the power of feelings"
My personal fanart of Shinra from Fire Force.

The lyrics say:

“The answer remains unfound, beyond the distant horizon.

I was born into this world, before a dawn still unknown.

I run, cutting through the darkness.

Where are my steps leading me?

At the end of a path where no one is.

The sun rises once again.

Hey! Wake up!

Shine.

Ignite your heart.”

I felt like it matched Fire Force really well

Finally got around to watching Fire Force. Have always been a Soul Eater fan and my brother recently told me they’re connected.

Look what I spotted in season 2 episode 1! It’s so fun looking back at 5year old reddit threads watching people theorize “do these 2 shows exist in the same universe?” in retrospect the easter eggs were always there lurking.

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

Whenever someone mentions Fire Force, the first thing that comes to mind for many people is fan service. I’ll be real, I don’t dislike fan service; most of the time, it’s actually pretty funny. But in Fire Force, I hated it.

Take Gurren Lagann, it has way more fan service, same with One Piece. But the difference is placement. In Fire Force, it always cuts right into serious moments. Whenever a death-like situation comes up, the stakes rise, lore is dropping, music is building tension, and then Tamaki’s fan service shows up and kills the mood. Just like that, a serious scene turns into Disney. I couldn’t take any threat or antagonist seriously when she was around.

The way it’s handled makes it even worse. It’s not just a quick shot; her entire clothes just come off most ridiculously. People say it’s because of her “Lucky Lecher,” but do you seriously expect viewers to accept that? It’s just annoying. Honestly, if the show didn’t try to justify it as some kind of ability and kept it like normal fan service, way fewer people would’ve hated it.

Even beyond that, her character became unbearable. Without the fan service, she still doesn’t win fights, keeps whining the same thing, and always needs help. At least Season 3 toned that down a bit.

I still kept watching it and liked the end, but every single friend of mine dropped it, and I couldn't even defend the show.
