When will the stock be stored?
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The second season of the Fire Force consumed up to volume 20 of the original work.
The first season was up to the middle of volume 11, so the pace of the second season is about 10 volumes of the original work.
In other words, in order for the third season to be broadcasted in two courses as before, we will need to stock up to around 30 volumes.
As of December 2020, 26 volumes of the original comics have been released.
Therefore, even if we include the uncollected episodes of the comics, the stock has not yet been accumulated.
However, since this manga is published 19 pages every week, the pace of publication is fast, and an average of 5 books are released in a year, so the stock is accumulating quite quickly.
It is expected to reach volume 30 in the summer of 2021.
This means that even if the third season starts in the summer of 2021, there is still time to stock up.
However, I don’t think it will be that much of a rush, so in reality, even if the third season is realized, it will probably be broadcast a little later.
The most reasonable course of action would be to announce it in the summer of 2021 when the stock has been accumulated, and broadcast the third season in the winter of 2022. ……
However, if the original story will be completed in around volume 30, the broadcast may be timed to coincide with that release.
Since the author, Atsushi Okubo, has revealed that the original work is already in the final stages, this pattern is also quite possible.
Summary
Nowadays, if a work has a strong distribution, especially overseas distribution, a sequel is made almost regardless of disc sales.
In the case of Flame Flame, the growth in comics sales is remarkable, so there’s plenty of room for a third season!
Especially in the case of a work whose comics are selling well overseas, the publicity effect of the anime is very important, so we can expect a lot from it!
