Interview: Fire Force Music Composer Dives Into ‘Heart of the Series,’ Battle Scenes

When you read the original manga, was there anything in particular that drew you to it?


Suehiro: I can sum it up by saying “Interesting!” and “Cool!” I was moved from the very start of the story, and was infatuated with reading it.


While centering on Company 8, the mystery surrounding spontaneous human combustion is gradually revealed, along with the standout characters and the shining sense of design reflected in the detail of the clothes and buildings. It was compelling in all regards.

Did you already have any ideas in mind for the music while you were reading the manga?

Suehiro: Vaguely, yes. I imagined putting the focus on the action scenes, which are one of the series’ great attractions. I thought to myself that I’d like to make some music for this that builds up the dynamic battles while further intensifying the story.

While creating the music for the series, did you receive any inspiration from anywhere outside the original manga?


Suehiro: Yes, from the original author, Ohkubo-sensei. He is someone who is very passionate about music as well. While we were coordinating things, I was able to ask him what his favorite music was, and what he liked to listen to while he drew the series. Inspiration welled up within me, and it was awfully instructive.

So you and Ohkubo-sensei discussed these things?

Suehiro: I took that input from him, as well as ideas from Director Yase, Sound Director Aketagawa and the other producers as to how to build up the world setting, and incorporated them into the music. After that, once the main theme’s motif came about, the rest of the work went smoothly.

Wow, I wonder if he was involved with Soul Eater's music too.

Now that you mention it, the daily life scenes do have music where you’re not aware of the melody, don’t they? That’s in direct contrast to the battle scenes.


Suehiro: Yes, on the other hand, for the battle scenes, I’ve created a personalized “Devilbeat” style especially for Shinra’s action scenes, for which I don’t use the orchestra, and rely on digital instead.


It fits well with his fight scenes, and the pieces are favorites that serve their purpose better than I expected them to.

A Devilbeat style, hah.

It's just, with what I know about the Soul Society, I don't know if I can say for certain that's it the same world, or if it's just called that as a reference.

[pinetree]

I doubt he would frame a purposeless reference as a big reveal.

kubo looking to expand his verse i see

It's just, with what I know about the Soul Society, I don't know if I can say for certain that's it the same world, or if it's just called that as a reference.

It's worth pointing out that the cliffhanger to Volume 6 of Bleach was the arrest warrant being put out for "Squad 13 Eastern Branch Member - Rukia Kuchiki". Granted the whole eastern branch thing never came up again* within Bleach's story but it seems that Kubo remembered it at least when it came to Burn the Witch.

* In fact, the Gotei 13's name is different in that scene so it seems that Kubo hadn't fully solidified his vision for how the Soul Society was supposed to function at that point.

[LJ3]

huh that was something real nice to know, thanks for linking Laserman

Holy crap, that far back... I need to read the one shot again. Now I'm hoping for cameos and other things.

act-age Artist Shiro Usazaki Issues Statement on Writer's Arrest, Manga's Cancellation

[Deathhappens]

Is that the guy who got arrested for touching middle schoolers?

[bassgs435]

The writer was, yeah.

[Mattias]

It would be neat if the manga had gotten a Monty Python and the Holy Grail ending, where half the final chapter is normal then the cops break in to arrest the Director character on sexual assault charges.
