Fire Force Sound Design - Juggernaut
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2021
- The combat sound effects are elevated in Fire Force to deliver a punch unlike anything I’ve heard before. No one embodies this better than Juggernaut, the massive fire fighter who is afraid of fire. Some people are turned off by the “bass boosted” nature of Koyama’s sound effects in the show, which is sad because they might miss out on the nature of the combat sound design.
Typically, a fight scene would have contact, impact, and clothing sound effects layered together to give a sense of cohesion with what is being shown. The speed or intensity of the fight dictates what type of sounds you use. Yasumasa Koyama does something interesting: instead of focusing on giving a sense of cohesion, he places almost all of the emphasis on the impact sound effects. Normal punches sound like gunshots, and special abilities sound almost supermassive with bass and energy.
This has a great impact on the viewer, and is what initially captivated me about the show when I first watched it. Not only does this reinforce the core mechanics of the show and reestablish the worldbuilding through auditory cues, but it delivers this information in the coolest way possible. I hope we get Fire Force Season 3 soon, so that we can hear more of this type of sound design.
Thank you for watching this series! I hope you have enjoyed it, but I am eager to work on other projects. I hope you’re as excited as I am to study other modes of storytelling and to look at other important stories!

It has been said that Juggernaut once murdered a woman with a nuke. Then it exploded.
Yikes
that’s crazy
Why is this vid unlisted?
I release my videos early on Patreon! They still show up in playlists, though, haha.
Holy shit what a badass line
I want to see a Fire Force edit where all the sound effects are replaced with a really weak slap sound
*Loads up ultimate attack* HUAAAAAAAAA *slap.*
Hahahaha! That would be amazing.
*GET READY FOR MY SUPER PUNCH!!!*
_*squeak_
"Im going to have to borrow your move, Konro"
[plap]
😂
@@KChow-nb1pz Like ya cut g
*clean àss flat slap*
the nuke hitting the ground and arming is the most satisfying thing ever
Haha, I agree, such a cool sound effect. Thanks for watching!
for whatever reason the jug fight always makes me feel emotional.
Yeah, I know what you mean. They did such a great job with it!
At the end of the fight they made it seem like he died but he didn't that might have something to do with it
Bruh, the ending to that Juggernaut fight was so hype when he goes through layer after layer and suddenly you see just his bare hand on that final push and he makes contact.
Hahahaha, yup!!! Such an awesome moment, for sure. Glad Juggy got such a sick moment in the show. He definitely became one of my favorites after his fight with Orochi!
David productions always makes really good sound effects. * Insert za warudo time stop *
Haha, yes, exactly! Love their sound design. Thanks for watching!
King crimson
This whole scene made me cry bro. I'm happy she got stronger because of the experience though but man was she a burden for a minute.
Haha, I know what you mean! Thank you for watching!
I got chills throughout the video not because of the video but because of your narrative. That has never happened before, a great video and narration my guy.
Oh wow, that's awesome! I always think my own voice sounds weird, so I'm glad the narration didn't feel strange for you, haha!
@@DrewMalou You were amazing man, I watched this whole series a while back - and you really bought it to life all without even having too much background sound, i agree your narrative was truly epic. Makes me want to watch the show again! Actually forgot how sick the gunshot sounding punches/hits are in this show hahaha. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. You guys are way too kind! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos, and you are very welcome. Thank YOU!
Fire force sound effects are either gunshots or bass and I am all for it
Bahaha, me too! I love them so much. 😁
Juggernaut is one of my favorite characters, I'm so glad you chose to do a video on him!!
Yeah! 😄 He's such an interesting character, I had to make a video about him. Thank you so much for watching!
Juggernaut underated and strong af this video of underated CZcamsr does him Justice even more
Haha, thanks for watching. 😁 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I was just thinking about your channel yesterday, and wondering if you had a new video, and then I see this! Once again, you've delivered an excellent video, Drew, and I absolutely loved your continued attention to detail! I hadn't thought about the pyrokinetic sound effects as being based on gunshots, but now it all clicks, and I totally hear them! Thanks for another amazing video, and for the recommendation to Jojo's Bizarre Sound Design, too! Hope you have a great rest of your day, my friend!
Thank you so much Henry! I'm glad you liked the video. Yeah, when I realized I kept hearing gunshots, I was a little confused, but then realized what they were doing with the sound design. First time I've ever heard someone use those sound effects for punches and kicks! Thank you for the kind words, and I hope you have a great rest of your day as well!
@@DrewMalou No problem, it was a real treat to watch! Yeah, gunshots as the sound design was a bold choice, especially for punches and kicks, but I think Koyama really killed it! Once again, it's my pleasure, and thank you!
Yeah, those sound design choices definitely were bold! And thank you so much, that's very kind of you. 😄
Was indifferent about the character but after that fight, immediately became a favorite ever since
Saaaaame!
damn, i can't believe I didn't watch all your videos about sound design in Fire Force (i guess it is time to watch everything)
Hahaha, there is a playlist with all of them in it if you feel like binge watching them, lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
yo big dawg ..... you got my sub. this playlist was fun to listen and watch. Can't wait for you to do season 3 of fire force. keep up the good work
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and yes, I'm super excited for season 3.
Awwww dude! Another excellent video! Sound design is such an integral part of the enjoyment of media for me and I love the fact that other people feel the same way. Your videos make me want to make my own videos on sound design in anime and other forms of entertainment. The way you explain stuff so simply yet so effectively is just, *chefs kiss*
Keep making more of these cool videos!
Thank you so much! Haha, I'm glad you enjoy the way I explain things, and that it's easy to understand. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not just making things more complicated with how I'm analyzing something, lol. And I think you totally should make videos on sound design! It's a lot of fun, and a nice creative outlet. Thank you for the kind words! 😁
amazing narrative! i’ve been trying to find ways to emulate sound design similar to fire force, because recently i have transitioned from digital art into animation. your videos are very helpful!
That's awesome! I'm glad my videos are able to help you. Thank you so much for watching, and good luck on your journey into animation!
Reminds me of Bang vs Garou in OPM. The punches were literally sourced from video game guns lol
I believe Koyama did the sound effects for OPM season 2 as well!
Well done as always, very interesting.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hope you've been well!
Shinra straight up became a lego brick when he got clapped by Charon
Lololol
I just remembered about this channel when this popped in my recommended and the content is so great
Haha, thanks! I'm glad you still enjoy it. 😁
Sound design have so much more than I thought
Yeah, it's crazy how deep the design of sound effects can go. It's a lot of fun to study!
Another amazing video! I loved it!
Thank you so much! 😄
Loving the series bro!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Your analyses are so good
Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so. 😄
These videos were so good! I really like the show and loved the sound desing so the videos were perfect!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the series. I loved the sound design as well, so I just had to make them, haha. Thanks for watching!
@@DrewMalou No problem i always enjoy good essay type videos keep up!
Yeah, me too! And I definitely will!
I noticed how the video is playing Snow's theme while talking about gunpowder and fire
Yeah! Good ears, and thanks for watching!
A very good video once again!
Ayyyeee, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Well you definitely won my subscription to your channel, keep up the good work?
Thank you! And yeah, I will do my best! 😁
You guys are into sound effects far more than me but I do appreciate the vid.
Thanks! I'm still pretty new to Sound Design myself, but I've really enjoyed studying the sound effects of this show. Thanks for watching!
Good videos, hoping for a season 3 soon, hopefully with the same sound designer. Also, I can hear you're a Tekken Fan. ;)
Thank you! I hope there will be a season three as well... and yes! Definitely love me some Tekken! Haha. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video again 🙌
Thank you so much! 😁
Greaṭ Video will use some of the points in my video as well keep it up Peace!!!!
Thanks for watching!
I thank you, and you are forgiven
Man we watched an execution in that episode
Haha, for real! 😂
I've been thinking of this series and was wondering if you plan to continue it as you seem to still answer comments?
I will probably do other show's sound design, but for now I am most likely done with Fire Force.... although I believe season 3 is being produced, so I suppose it's entirely possible I'll make another video!
@@DrewMalou Well you were right, can't wait. These are bangers
HI can you analyze the sound effects for Tensura or Eighty Six next? This series was awesome
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the series! And I haven't seen either of those shows yet, but I've put them both on my list to watch!
PLZ DO MORE OF THESE
Haha, thank you, that's a great compliment! I like doing them, but I want to talk about other stories as well. I can always do more in the future, though!
@@DrewMalou PLZ do it...
Haha, sounds good! I'm glad you still like the series after a few videos! 😄
@@DrewMalou It lacked quantity but it never lacked quality! The sound design is some thing that I very few people talking about, but yet a super important and fun part of any series, game, movie etc! Thats why I love it!!
Really hope to see more in the future 🤗
Haha, thank you! And yeah, it's interesting that not many people were talking about the sound design, because it was so unique!
please continue the video about anime fire force. I like this video
Thanks! I appreciate that. But I want to make videos about other stories too, so I'm going to focus on that for the immediate future. But if Season 3 of FF drops, I'm always down to make more videos! Thanks for watching!
4:31 oh yeah, and other meme sound effect (vine boom)
Haha, the vine boom! 😂 I've never noticed, but you're right, it sounds just like it!
So what u gona do now that u r not making vids on fireforce sound design?
Hmmm... Well, my Patreon supporters voted that I should make a video covering video games next, so I will probably do that! After that, I will just start making videos about other stories I really like.
Fire force and that time i get reincarnated as a slime
Has the best sound design in fighting hits
There is so much bass and power behind the hits, I definitely love it!
I didn’t like the repetitive story but they nailed the sound for sure
That's fair!
@@DrewMalou yeah to a certain degree
Which part felt repetitive to you?
Where did you get the stock sound effects?
They came from a company called BOOM Library. They have tons of great sfx libraries that I highly recommend, and these were pulled from the "close combat" library.
@@DrewMalou thanks :D
You're very welcome! 😁 Thank you for watching.
Would be really cool if you did videos like these for JoJo's too!
Yeah! Still haven't seen JJBA yet, but it's definitely on my list!
What about the bruh sound effect
Progress update
I watched season and and am at episode 7 season 2.
Watching Anime only once a week with a 60kbps Internet shucks.
I switched to downloading the episodes before hand but its not too much better.
I expect to be no further than epiaode 12-13/24 in Sunday.
Sigh...
Yeah 60kbps internet sounds like torture in general, haha. I hope you can stick with it!
@@DrewMalou because of that 60. last day I lashed out at my firmed cause we couldn't play together.
Luckily he accepted my apology.
Otherwise I'm downloading 1 episode per day now.
14/24. Ten days to go hopefully less :D
Yeah, I could see that being stressful. At least you're able to download episodes and aren't having to stream them! That would be awful.
@@DrewMalou
Fianl update on this.
Good news, I can watch your fire force videos.
Bad news I can no longer watch anime.
The download just fails each time, every time.
I only got to download the first out of the final 3 episodes of fire force beofre this happened. Sorry
Edit:
Hahaha!
The Internet fell even as I was posting this comment...
One more nail in the coffin I guess.
Ps.
Thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece.
Now analize Demon slayer xD
Ahhh, such a bummer, but I'm glad you can watch my videos! Haha. And I'm glad you were enjoying Fire Force while it lasted. I definitely need to do some videos on Demon Slayer! Such a dope show.
Just a couple of recommendations for you to watch.
I believe both of these to be a bit brilliant.
The music in this one was taken form the season intro and was mixed with other things to sound 80's
At first I found the mix odd but after a while I found it brilliant,the timings between the old and the new in the mix pair good together
czcams.com/video/1cjdslm6xMk/video.html
A this is an Add that I actually enjoy watching.
Enough said
czcams.com/video/A4BuL886bJA/video.html
You don't need to check them out or anything.
I just like them enouugh the mention them thats all
Those are both sick! Haha, the D&D Beyond animation was incredible. Thanks for sharing!
@@DrewMalou it's origin is better.
They where sponsoring critical role and one of the voice actors always does those over the top amazing little performances.
One of them was a little silly song he wrote. D&D beyond requested the animation latter.
The vocie in the video is actually that same voice actor xD
Haha, that's so awesome! I've never watched Critical Role, but I know it's super popular. I've even played a few D&D campaigns, just never got into CR. Definitely looks like something I would enjoy, though!
My life is potato...
Haha, thanks for watching!
This show was so cool until that dreadful soul sucking Giovanni loredump fight holy fk. I should revisit this someday.
You should!
U know the sound in this show are top tier, but i still hate this character!
Haha, interesting! Any particular reason why? I wasn't really a big fan of him until this fight, then I got some mad respect for him.
you barely explain anything in the whole series, you just say the sound design tells a lot or is really good and how you love it, show clips, but you give little to no explanations as to why and how it's good or genius. Even when you say stuff like it sounds like a jet engine because it comes out of his feet and acts a bit like it, that's not genius, that's something really intuitive and logical to think about when you're sound designing, it's a clever association but nothing to write home about. Or saying that making punches sound like gunshots is really interesting, it's not, they're just making it sound more intense and impactful because that's what the sound design in this series is all about, making things sound as brutal and blunt possible. So yeah the more impactfull you make an impact sound, the more it sounds like a gunshot. In the previous episode you can't just say the sounds in this scene perfectly align with the story and the characters etc than provide 0 explanation???
You know... as a fellow content creator, I would think that you of all people would have a little more understanding. Especially when you have this quote in your CZcams bio:
"On est conscient que nos vidéos sont pas extra, mais c'est assez dur d'en faire, Et on essaye de s'investir un maximum pour que nos vidéos soient un minimum intéressantes et agréables à regarder."
Which roughly translates into:
"We are aware that our videos are not great, but it is quite hard to make them, and we try to invest as much as possible so that our videos are at least interesting and pleasant to watch."
You're right, it is tough to make content. And just because you obviously have a 200 IQ and know everything there is to know about Sound Design, doesn't mean that my average viewer does. What might seem obvious to you could be a novel revelation for someone else. These videos were meant to be a collection, collation, and celebration of Fire Force's sound design, but instead of celebrating, you chose to hate.
Instead of tearing apart my video, why don't you make your own and explain to me what's happening with the sound effects? I would love to watch your analysis of the show!
Thanks for watching my video, and always remember: It's easy to hate, but hard to create.
@DrewMalou this channel is outdated i don't post content on it lol, i don't pretend to know everything about sound design also i understand that this video is for people who know nothing about it so it's pretty logical that you would explain basic sound design stuff, so i understand on that point, it's still weird to present things as really interesting when it's not that deep. My comment wasn't a hateful one i simply didnt like the series because i don't think you made much a compelling argument as to why fire force's sound design is that great. If i was hateful i would have just told you your whole series is trash and attacked you for it with no arguments..
Also this is still some youtube videos, it's not the biggest deal in the world. I don't make youtube videos anymore so i wont be making an in depth analysis video on this anime's sound design, since you replied to my comment i'll elaborate what i think a little bit.
I think the most interesting thing you said was the sound design when shinra is going super fast, and that to emulate that they made is sound like a glitchy sound effect, like data is being transfered instantly or he's so fast that he's glitching through reality. That was a really good argument to show that in this instance the sound design is pretty genious, also it's not just the sound effect, because what you hear is exactly what you see in the animation which is a glitchy effect. In the video with burns and charon, you say burns sound design acts like a wall, you don't explain how at all, you just show a clip of the fight and that's it. I don't think you provide that much explanation in each video that's why i didnt like it.
Personnaly i really don't like fire force's sound design, as you say everything is so "beefy" and i don't have a problem with beefy sound, the stop time sound effect of the world by the same sound designer is one of my favorite sounds in anime, and it's litteraly just exploding a sub bass with compressor and distortion effects. But in fire force's cases, even the most mundane kicks or explosion/fire absolutely destroy your ears, every sound is compressed af, for the sound to not clip you put a limiter on the audio output, and it honestly sounds like every sounds is absolutely abusing the limiter. It's cool when a sound is beefy and sound very loud, but you lose the effectivness of it and the ability to determine the power dynamic of each move and characters if every kick, fire, explosion, sounds over the top. at 1:13 in your video with burns, shinra is projected and rolling on the ground and it sounds like the twin towers are collapsing. It's like that in every scene.
To me it's the equivalent of a michael bay movie, where there is no subtlety or precision because everything is so loud and saturated. (im comparing the visuals of the movie to the sound of fire force i know it's a weird comparison) instead of actually thinking about the sounds and the loudness dynamic of them, everything is extremelly loud, compressed, distorted, with a few good ideas thrown in there. The bass of the sounds relating to how powerfull each attack is, is a very good dynamic and idea for story telling, also i still don't think it's used correctly. (because most of the time everything is just loud)
O ne scene that really struck me in the anime was the joker fight in season 2 episode 12, sometimes a great sound is also determined by how special it sounds; not always by how it relates to story telling-wise. But it makes it even greater when there is that mind connection to the sound and the story. It's interesting to analyse also how the sound design can play with the character's voices and the music i think. Anyways i want to make it clear i didnt make this long rant to say your videos are trash and i have the better opinion, it's just how i think your videos didn't really give that much info and it could have been better.
I hope you didnt find this comment a hustle to read and you at least found it interesting
