Akira Bomb in Unreal 5

I have created a recreated version of the famous Akira Sphere Bomb Sequence from the film "Akira" using Unreal Engine 5. This version showcases the breathtaking depiction of destructive power, as a massive energy wave engulfs the city of Neo-Tokyo in a stunning combination of light and destruction.

To say that this theme has haunted me for years would be an understatement. I believe anyone who has seen the film "Akira" was deeply impacted by this particular scene. This feeling intensified when I finally decided to read the manga years after watching the movie. (In short, it is highly recommended, as it offers a much more extensive experience than the film.) Since then, this special shot has never left my mind.

The limitation was that I use only Niagara Fluids for all Clouds/Smoke in the Sequence and as much as possible directly out of the Rendered Sequence from Unreal Engine. Which worked great, I only pushed the Zoom Blur in Post and added the Impact Frames.
