Fire Force is gearing up to return to screens with Season 3 of the anime as part of the new wave of releases hitting for the Spring 2025 anime schedule, and now the creator behind it all is feeling the excitement with some special new art ahead of the new episodes. Fire Force Season 2 wrapped up its run back in 2020, so fans have been waiting quite a while to see what was coming next. Making things more exciting was the fact that Fire Force’s original manga run came to an end since then as well, so this will be the first new release for the franchise in some time.
