The blazing inferno simulation continues as Daigo, Shun and Yuki navigate their way into new scenarios of rescue, and the rescue operation of Code 252...while it did not go well with their improvisation deviating from the standard practice, is still commendable, and their Sergeant Yamagami acknowledged that fact to bear them no penalty. But a sudden earthquake tremor akin to a war, this is for real.

The Destined Three and the rest done with their rescue training, Yamagami comes to them with a smile on his face knowing that his lessons have been learnt to hell and back. Of course, being the only girl in the task force training, Shun missed his chance to take a picture with Yuki, and as Daigo bade farewell, they succeed in getting the spot and don the coveted orange jumpsuit, signifying that they are in the Special Rescue Ops. Apparently, Shun and Yuki had some history together as the former asked out the latter, and he got his orange before Yuki got hers.

The God of Rescue may hae favored Shun, but Daigo entered 6 months before he did, and now, both young men are reunited together to conduct more rescues.

Who will the God of Rescue smile upon?

Solid third episode, training part is over, we're getting to the real stuff next ep, i like the synergy between the three main characters, i was scared Nakamura would be annoying but she's pretty interesting, reminds me of Carter from Stargate SG1 kinda

current general rating is sad to see, myanimelist should not allow people to score shows until they're over or atleast with a couple episodes released, mal rating stopped making sense to me years ago which is a shame.

Oh, this mini-earthquake is actually a prelude, a warning, a sign, a Chekhov's gun to the giant earthquake in the first episode.

What a twist, Shun and Yuki actually met before, I totally didn't see this coming, but do they finally dating? To me, it's more like "it's complicated", or "more than friend but not a couple" kind of relationship, which is reasonable because they're also a rival in the same working industry. I bet there are many twist to be revealed in the future, like who's the firefighter in Yuki's wallpaper, could he be Daigo's father? I can't wait to find out!

Daigo get the job immediately after graduated, while Shun prefer to think that Daigo is favored by God of Rescue, I just think that Daigo is a simply beast, despite his sweetface and cute hair, he must be so hot that even fire can't stop him.

Interesting that we get to see a little bit of gender discrimination through Yuki's thought. I don't think it'll be fully resolved since I assume this is not a kind of anime that tackle social issue, but at least they accept that this issue is real.

Great episode! I love Shun

I'm waiting for Asahina Daigo to show up in the future. I wonder if he is an important character in the story.

Alot of wonky shots this eps, even if I liked the content. That plus the long recaps makes me wonder about the production.

3 eps in and this is a big win if only Shun wasn't a dickhead.

And would like them to deal with the sexism more but at least they don't hide it.

I knew Shun was going to get scolded for taking his mask off because in a real life rescue situation the firefighter's life comes first and he could have put his team at risk if one of them looses oxygen in critical moments. Plus they didn't have to go far to exit through the window on the second floor so there was no need to give the rescue dummy additional oxygen. This was a case of Shun panicking in the heat(no pun intended) of the moment which can lead stupid decisions.

With 24 eps confirmed, this looks like it'll be a fun ride, can't wait for the original Daigo to appear.

Nakamura didn't get an orange uniform but she'll probably have it soon. But what's with the earthquake?

That earthquake scene had me chills, you know it's bad if its long enough for you to process that there's an earthquake and it fears you that the ground you're standing on can literally open up or the building next to you would collapse.

bro, you are writing facts! I agree with all that you say. For example, I'm a person who would like to score an anime until I've watched the 3 first episodes. This anime is pretty cool, I really enjoy what I'm watching at the momento, it's a little sad to see that bad score on the page. And what you said about the OP and ED theme ? They are marvellous.ñ! This anime deserves more score!

Can't wait to see more rescues like the one at the beginning of the first episode. Training arc was okay, but you already know the tension will be higher when lives are on the line and they're working their professional best.

3 Minutes of recap. Much better than 6, but I could do without it.

I still like the slow pacing, but it does drag a bit when not on missions. The extend of the earthquake was pretty cool though.

Overall, it was still a good episode though. I like how Nakamura got some development.

Imagine the guy accidentally dropping the person while climbing down the ladder.

Nakamura is extremely popular! They’re officially firefighters! Woah, Daigo has been there for six months.

Why the 3 min recap on every start of the episode? Oh well, at least the rest of the episode is good to make one forgets about it. The duo of Shun and Daigo reunited in the same rescue squad. So where's that leave Nakamura.
