Fire Force is a series about a special firefighting force in a world plagued by spontaneous human combustion, which turns people into fiery monsters called Infernals. The story follows a new recruit, Shinra Kusakabe, who joins the Tokyo Fire Force's Company 8 to fight Infernals and uncover the mystery behind a past fire that destroyed his family. As he battles these creatures and works with his new team, he begins to uncover a larger conspiracy involving the true cause of the combustion. Soul Eater is set at the "Death Weapon Meister Academy", which revolves around three teams, each consisting of a weapon meister and (at least one) weapon that can transform into a humanoid. Trying to make the latter a "death scythe" and thus fit for use by the academy's headmaster Shinigami, the personification of death, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and one witch, in that order; otherwise, they will have to start all over again.
