I read the finale of fire force. It wasn't great

A full third of the final chapter is a girl arguing about whether or not she can steal the protagonist's sperm to bear his children

here's an extremely funny aspect of the ending, though: we can fairly accurately estimate Death's age in Soul Eater

Man I briefly considered reading fire Force and then I saw some plurks talking about it and I do not want to read it anymore

I’m always a little bit mad about Fire Force

it turns out that, in his heart of hearts

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 2:28 PM

Ohkubo just doesn't have much to say that isn't "hhehe tiddie"

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

why does she say nyaaan with a little heart

so I guess this was just a lie

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 3:35 PM

we literally saw Death get created in Fire Force, then there was a 25 year timeskip and Maka was a toddler

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 3:35 PM

a 25 year timeskip during which, apparently, 800 years passed

Princess Emily

I hate everything about this

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 3:36 PM

the funniest thing about fire force was that it debuted in the same year as Promare

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 3:37 PM

so it couldn't even be "the best 2019 shonen anime about firefighters"

What’s really bizarre to me is that it started as a fairly decently conceived shounen premise. And then the author got weird but not in a fun way.

And it’s ... now a... Soul Eater prequel that contradicts Soul Eater? The fuck?

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:03 PM

what it comes down to is that ohkubo is unbelievably horny and can't keep it out of his work, no matter what

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:04 PM

even the core character concepts and plot have to become about horniness

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:04 PM

no, I haven't forgotten the last chapter of soul eater

Gabiluzbad

@Overbringer

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:05 PM

It’s incredible that he created Maka

Gabiluzbad

@Overbringer

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:05 PM

A decidedly unhorny character

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:05 PM

where a major character's death is memorialized by everyone on earth becoming obsessed with boobs because the dead teenager had mommy issues

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:07 PM

yeeeeeeeah

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:08 PM

you'd think that, like, the reception of that would've tipped him off that he went too far

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:08 PM

instead of making him double down

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:09 PM

... then again that's assuming most of the audience didn't love the ending, which actually idk. otaku are bad

Ken

@mugennoken

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:22 PM

Here’s the thing

Being horny is fine. It won’t be for everyone but if you’re upfront then it’s like. Whatever.

Ohkubo’s “horny” is about on the level of a 12 year old giggling as they say “boobies.” It ends up being inconsistent with EVERYTHING ELSE because he typed 8008 onto a calculator in class and got distracted

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:23 PM

exactly yes

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:23 PM

thus, the core underlying thesis of all his works:

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:23 PM

"hhehe tiddy"

Ken

@mugennoken

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:24 PM

It’s not even GOOD horny. It’s just stupid.

Ken

@mugennoken

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:25 PM

And again: what do you fucking MEAN Fire Force is somehow a Soul Eater prequel???? WHY

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 4:26 PM

literally the entire world of soul eater was created about 36 years ago as of series start

Ken

@mugennoken

Wed, May 3, 2023 5:55 PM

I only watched the anime and that doesn’t even remotely make sense

i need to understand every detail of the fact that fire force is a soul eater prequel somehow

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 11:18 PM

the final boss of fire force destroyed the world and turned it into a sea of black fire

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 11:19 PM

then the protag, who fused with his brother and his mom to turn into a cool demon man, used the power of god to just make a new world and revive all the dead people into it

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 11:19 PM

then he created Death to take away everyone's fire powers and make the setting not be fire-themed anymore

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 11:19 PM

Shinra fusing with his mom was the first Soul Resonance

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Wed, May 3, 2023 11:20 PM

his boss became the first leader of Shibusen and I think Shinra's son became Death the Kid
