The dragon defeated the knight. ☹

Meanwhile, Obi out here posing like a god so he doesn’t turn into an Infernal. 🤣

*Shinra and Joker are gonna get burned if they keep letting Burns level up. 😣

The pacing this season has been pretty bad. Lots of staredowns and scenes that are extended for no apparent reason, other than trying to meet the 20 minute mark without overloading the episode with fights that would suffer due to less time to animate. I can understand why they chose this pacing, but I very much would prefer all of those fights were to be resolved quickly. Maybe the whole season is just going to be fight after fight, and if that's the case, then there's not much to do besides that to not kill their animators from overwork. Still, I wish they had chosen more elegant solutions to this problem, maybe extending scenes in the sewer while they meet joker, or more scenes of them running away. It would be way better than taking it to the fight scenes, that makes them look wayy too dragged out.
Arthur being stared at by everyone from the 8th while he gets bagged is not really amazing, neither is it imagining that Shinra and Joker were staring at Burns while the 8th fought Gold, even though they knew that Burns would be stronger with each passing second.

@Gabu-sama the main animators of the last two seasons had to be transferred to other projects at David Production, like Undead Unluck. It's not about budget, it's just that unless those same animators return for the next episodes, no one there will be able to replicate what was done before.

These last two episodes weren't even that bad, the only episode that bothered me in terms of animation was the 3rd one. Now, the thing that's really bothering and worrying me is the pacing...

Yeah, this episode was a joke. Also, I swear Arthur's fights are the second cringiest aspect this show has just behind Tamaki's ecchi moments.

I liked the episode because Arthur was a big part of it, but it also was a bit boring I guess.

Phew, I almost had a panic attack thinking Captain Obi was turned into an infernal. But the power of muscles prevails!!!!

I’ve seen people talking about how farfetched this plot point is and I agree. But look at it this way, Captain Obi is a powerless captain of a whole fire company but has been going toe to toe with infernals and the villains simply because he’s strong. Up until this point Captain Obi has been a little OP lol.

But yes, as for this episode, it was the icing on the cake because these bugs are the ones that have been digging into people’s bodies turning people into fire demons….but can’t resist muscles. This is Fire Force.

And I’ve never seen a more delusional character in my anime career than Arthur. It’s so unbelievably ridiculous it’s goofy

Welp, looks like there's no need to worry about Captain Obi as his ripped man muscles certainly proved that the Insect has no chance of penetrating his body and turn him into an Infernal. All it takes is some motivation, and heaps of workout.

Lieutenant Hinawa and the rest facing the Destroyer of Dragon, and Arthur is ready for a fight nonetheless. However, this dragon is a lot more ferocious than he surmises, and the more Arthur attacks, the more he sustains the attacks from someone being able to materialize Infernals at will. But the investigation from Sister Lily and Company 5's Captain Hibana surmising of Demon Infernals being the key to human combustion, and comparing that to Dragon, he might as well be that case for Arthur playing his role as the Knight King to defeat a rather fearsome enemy.

Shinra and the Joker doing their best to stop Captain Burns and maintaining Obi flexing his muscles before the Insects get to him, it's a race against time.
Who would win in the end?

Captain Obi is bringing out his inner bodybuilder to combat those infernal bugs, and it's proven to be super effective! He's the captain for a reason.

Arthur's strength growing depending on how immersed he is in his knight fantasies is a gimmick that I'll never get tired of. Dragon is the perfect match up, but his power is immense. Arthurs going to need one heck of a daydream to stand a chance.

Well this is quite something.

The fight of Shinra and Joker vs. Leonard Burns is still ongoing and it seems that Akitaru has accessed his hysterical strength and has made his muscles so hard that the infernal bugs can’t pierce his skin. He’s shredded indeed, and I respect Takehisa and the Eighth Company for cheering him on, knowing that once he relaxes, it’s all over.

And now Arthur has to face off against Dragon, who seems to not be a normal human and have the powers of an infernal, giving Arthur quite the challenge. It’s so much so that even after Arthur has dawned a bigger Excalibur, a plasma cape, and continues to dive deeper into his imagination, he still got himself cooked.

Leonard Burns is in Stage 3 and the only way past him is for Shinra to go straight through him, so let’s see how that goes.

Arthur remains one of the most fun characters in the series. It's great to finally see him going all out like this.

I'm very excited for the Dragon Vs Arthur fight since I've seen some manga panels and they looked sick.

Spoke too soon that Captain Obi is in trouble. Though, Arthur is in now, and is in way over his delusion. I sense a new sword coming up.

Mkay, so, the star of this episode is CLEARLY Arthur. That was ...so dumb, but also freaking cool af. That guy's such a moron it's lovable.

Obi would be the co-star. That was possibly even more idiotic - and I loved every second of it. I was laughing for most of this serious episode. Not too often in an anime, that has happened.

I feel bad for the people who feel obliged to just trash this show and go out of their way to NOT enjoy it. (as they seem to be doing when I see them complaining about most anime, I literally find some users whose every forum posts just trashes everything - kinda crazy - makes one curious as to why they even bother watching anime at all?)

People who think it's just "random" have not really paid attention to anything in the previous 2 seasons even a little, haha. Yes, it's silly - but almost none of it is just spur-of-the-moment power creep stuff.

...I guess that's the story of our time, well outside of the entertainment sphere. Way too many folks are just one-note.

I don't watch anime for a single thing though - I watch it for everything it offers. I don't always enjoy a lot of it - but I put this in the same category as something like Gintama - maybe not as off-the-wall, and not quite as good, but it offers a mix. Take it in - instead of rejecting it outright, haha. This anime offers a good mix, and does it pretty well. If it's too "silly" you probably shouldn't be watching animation at all ;)

BEST EPISODE SO FAR MAN my eyes were glued to the screen when Dragon finally showed up, I’ve been waiting 5 years for this moment and I got goosebumps from the entire fight, Arthur fr went out like a fucking G and dint back down whatsoever against that fucking unit of a dragon bro props to bro for holding his own when all the other got blasted away from Dragon simply exhaling😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The animation really picked up for this episode and I’m happy David Production gave it love, the impact frames were going crazy ong, and Dragons transformation was fucking EPIC, bro felt like a presence that can’t be fucked with it at all😮‍💨🔥🔥

I find it funny how the sun is setting yet Burns Shinra and Joker haven’t moved an inch like you’d think they’d be scraping but no they’re waiting for the camera to be on them so they can fight hahaha🤣

I have no clue why ppl are trashing on Obi for his muscles when bro has been working out since the first season when Shinra showed up to join the Force, and idk why you’re so surprised it happened this show has always had funny moments in serious moments, just laugh it off guys💀
