Surprisingly, I didn't mind the fanservice with Tamako, it even made me laugh because I knew what was going to happen


Otherwise a pretty good episode overall, some scenes were really impressive (especially the part when Shinra and Charon went through the building, it was pure sakuga material)

On the other hand they reused the exact same scene 3 times in this episode, even I noticed
Inca is slowly but surely getting on my nerves tho, she's quite annoying and deserves to be punched by Charon

Tamaki appearance was insane. She should've been battling instead just served as a fanservices matter, there. A dissapointed matter of these full of battle episode.

The arcs still continued. It seems Shinra finally learnt a new trick of their flames ability. First rapid. Now, its Corna. What else?

In another manner. Its nice to seen some of the old character. Like that cool guy with ice equipment. The first outside friend that Shinra made from division 2 and 5. A nice reunion, i might said of that.

The show still suffers from the same misstakes. All the action build-up, finally things are getting tense and then - a big nope. Reinforcements, turns out the whole thing is a cake walk and even normal infernals are easy pickings as usual. Shinra suffers a bit but what does even cause injuries or hurt in this universe anymore? Oh, and then the fanservice at the most inconvenient point in time ever.

I am super disappointed after last episode's build up and the scene that was set. The fifth pillar getting captured off-screen despite her abilities was also a bummer. The fighting is inconsquential as usual, well maybe the civilians suffer. Redeeming factors are the animation quality and Charon's badassery.

Great episode as always. finally, Tamaki fanservice is back but holy shuu dat bikini-and-veil. That's hot

Love the animation so much especially the battle between Shinra and dat bulky guy.
storywise I Think there's not much going on here just the battle from prev episode continues with Inca is slightly on Evangelist's hand right now. ah yes, so Inca is kinda rejecting both fire force and Evangelist as she want her own way of living. I wonder what will happen with her later on.

Also, the battle kinda slows this time for me. it feels like Shinra and that bulky evangelist guy just trading some blow for the entire episode.

Can't wait for the next EP

The Tamaki fanservice, always placed and the wrong moments, but I aint complaining XD

A lot of infernals they had to deal with, the plasma girl really can't fight 1 on 1 against Arthur, while Charon is a walking fortress, no attacks Shinra unleashes at him works! He's really tough.

Overall though, not a lot happened this episode besides reinforcements showing up. Some action scenes were pretty great, but in other moments I felt this episode pretty lackluster.

So, Inca is a sort of adrenaline addict, uh?... great. Can Maki give a bitch slap to this edgy teen, please?

Also, Vulcan almost got killed due to Tamaki being useless again. As always, her misplaced fanservice ruining any serious atmosphere she's involved.
But seriously, not being able to fight Infernals (and as a result, save more civilians' lives) because they always "need" a Sister's blessing is such an annoying handicap. It makes fights against Infernals look even more static than usual.

Well, not the fantastic episode animation-wise I was expecting but guess it's actually next week when things will finally get interesting with Shinra vs. Charon and Arthur vs. Haumea. As for this one, pacing was kinda off for moments and the continuous jumps from one character to another felt really overwhelming as well.
Charon and Shinra fighting through that building was the only good moment I can recall.

Weak animation. The main characters seemed to have learned nothing from their training arc or the entire previous season. This is ASH KETCHUM levels of Reset on experience.

There has to be a way to show people that a villain is strong except by having them kick your main hero's ass all day. Also what was that BVS scene were they go through several buildings? Garbage show, garbage animation, garbage characters.

Watching fire force reminds me why I just stopped watching anime for a few years. Dropping this now.

The characters learned stuff it is that the tier of enemies at this point is a lot higher than the one they fought during the final arc of season1 and the breath of life as well as shinra's best move raid which he learned during sho are kinda useless at this situation.

I do not think there is any other clear way to say that the bad guy is stronger other than having him beat the protagonists ass like he could try use exposition by using a 3rd person who is strong commenting that the bad guy the protagonist fights is strong but this is not for this type of case.

That could work to hype that someone is strong with the requirement that the guy who hypes the bad guy character is not weak or he is not weaker than the main protagonist character because in that case it is not a clear statement that the bad guy is beastly strong also in it would made no sense to do in a situation you have the bad guy fighting infront of you.

So say that you didn't like that other divisions came to the rescue and you actually saw others aside the 8ths division to help during a situation like this.

This could be a great anime but it has excessive violence, far beyond general shounen level. The whole city is on fire and a lot of people died.

And humanity can't function as a society if they know they can burst into flame anytime anywhere. This is very different from threats in other anime, no matter how severe it is (Titan/Demon/Villain/Monster/etc.) the cause is well-defined, and human won't die as long as they stay away from the threat. But Fire Force has people died randomly, or keep the real cause to only a small group of people.

If I can only convert death to fanservice (no more on Maki though)....


But that's not the angle Enen is taking, though; if anything, its narrative arc is closer to a seinen than a Shonen. Just because it doesn't follow patented shonen tropes doesn't mean it's inherently bad.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

That scene where they went through the building has fantastic animation. You're clearly ignorant so keep your mouth shut. If you had brought up the pointless fan service or any other flaws of the show you'd have a point. There are a ton of scenes in this show where there's fantastic animation, who fuckin cares if an episode or two isn't up to par.

The battle continues to see who gets Inca, the fifth pillar. I wonder if she will change, she's an interesting character who has a need to be in dangerous places just to scare her. Glad to see other companies helping. The only thing i hated in this episode was Tamaki's fanservice, which was unbearable. Like srsl, how can she lose her clothes like that. The only good thing was Vulcan's and Hinawa's reaction.
From the preview, it looks like Shinra shows his true powers, can't wait to see that. Also, when will Joker come back? I miss him 😂😂😂

Just gonna say this, but Tamaki is pretty sexy. Like damn she's got some great curves. Her fan service can be annoying at times, but there are moments I find it funny.

But bruh that pink haired girl is such a bit. She doesn't want to get taken by the white clads, but tells Shinra not to save her as well. Such an idiot and psychologically messed up it's annoying. Wouldn't be upset if she was killed in the slightest

Not really. 8th. division getting some help was to be expected at some point and still, I was kinda disappointed the people that came were just some random lieutenants. Them being Benimaru or even Hibana would have been more interesting/exciting but honestly, I didn't feel anything during that scene.

So once again here comes Tamaki with the unsolicited fan service at the worst possible moment. I rolled my eyes so hard I could see the back of my goddamn skull.

And suddenly our hero's kick-ass power can't kill a fly. Talk about getting pumped up for nothing.

God Isn't Inca annoying? I want someone to bitch-slap her already. Also that nonsense about fire lines and shit... IDK It feels lame to me. Like a normal foe will wait for you to finish doodling on the air instead of knocking you out.

If Inca wasn't so stubborn, it would have been so much easier for everyone... I don't know what must happen to her in order to make her realize that she must choose sides, as fast as possible xD

Glad they got the reinforcements, otherwise it would have been impossible for them alone to end this.

Now the toughest fight will be Shinra against that Gorrila xD
Another cliffhanger at the end...

You do realise they slow time just to show how her powers works right ? in real time frame her attacks should be a lot faster and something last you said that a normal foe wouldn't wait for her to do all that.
Sure but that implies that foe have full knowledge at how her powers works so if he has no clue which it is the usual thing when you face someone for the 1rst time, i would say inca has the advantage in this case ah yes keep in mind she just learned how to use her ignition ability next time you are gonna see her she is gonna be a lot stronger than this.

Also i am gonna agree for tamaki she is as useless and as clumpsy as inspector clouseau from pink panther

I've said it before and I will say it again. I fucking hate Inca. Personally, she is one of the worst, most annoying characters in the series. Never liked her in the manga and I sure as hell won't like her now that she has a voice and move around on screen. It doesn't bother me that she is a
but because she has an unbearable personality.

Anyway, missed Tamaki's fan service moments, which is rare for me since I usually hate it. Also, nice to see Karim and Juggernaut again! :D

I felt like some of the animation was a bit off in today's episode, like it was "lagging" a bit.

Shinra is about to use The Rona and that man's career.

Karim wasn't that random though , hibana didn't came because the author wanted to make victor to use his brain and fix this so if he would made hibana then who would give the highlight that did it's part? He wanted to make victor to contribute in the team effort.

As for benimaru if benimaru was there this wouldn't even a problem he would dealt with everyone by himself.
Benimaru is too powerful for those situations you need situations more difficult that this one for benimaru to come like if 5 demon infernals had poped out in the same place maybe benimaru would had a nice spot in the plot and deal with 1-2 at the same time by himself.
