it's sad that Tamaki is reduce only for fan service :/ She is cute and sexy but i'm a little dissapointed for her role in this manga (hope it's not always like that)

They left it on a cliffhanger, but I can probably predict who's going to win.

that's how entertaining filler chapters or relief chapters between arcs should be

iris doubts and development, interaction with shinra, the animation environment. it was hyping that when they decide to become "confidants", the link with the first pillar appeared.
and the epic assault training! its true that the cut was a bit rough but overall it was fun. and the reference to spirit from soul eater was great!

i understand the complaints that tamaki is only for fan service and it would be interesting to see more facet of her. but is so much complaint necessary if there are other great female characters? something interesting comes from maki (T▽T)

Gotta hand it to Iris, she was cute this episode! "Yay!"

That Assault part was pretty hilarious.. That's quite the research he has done to face the Lucky Lercher Tamaki. Loved the Soul Eater reference in that club. Death Scythe complaining about Mako again not talking to him. That was great!

LOL that Tamaki vs Assault scene , LOL, I can't believe that Assault is able to see a wrinkle in Tamaki's pink panty, that cause him his victory...IMAO, Assault should probably get laid instead of trying be so steadfast on being celibate...so go head Assault and just rape Tamaki...

Man, this is probably the only ep where fanservice is uncensored.

What would you do if everything you believe in was a lie?

This chapter sets aside the action to build the plot and help clarify how the characters feel from the hand of those who have the most impact on the event. As the lieutenant says, people need to believe.

I don't know, but the cemetery scene was a good gesture for all those people who unfortunately died from covid-19, at least it seemed to me that they were showing their respect, or just a coincidence. Anyway, the design is beautiful!

It will not be the muscles of the cyclops gorilla, but what a good cobra!

For Shinra it must be terrible that the first Adola is very similar to Iris, the poor boy seems in love with her ...

Tamaki thinking that she has a lover, I really cannot believe that she has not warned her companions to fight Assault ... there it was very bad

I'm glad that the humor is still in the chapters, I laughed a lot with the scene of the wind!

I don't give it a "10" because I don't like echi ... I hope I don't see a fairy tail and they don't start cutting all the characters clothes ...

The two halves of this episode couldn't have been more different! The first half was so philosophical with some really sweet and meaningful moments between Shinra & Iris... and then there was the second which was just pure comedy and ecchi-ness haha

I guess the fact that Shinra saw the Adolla Link woman when he looked at Iris means they're physical similarities aren't a coincident huh? Been wondering about that since the beginning of the season...

This episode was almost great for me but...Hey we start off with a normal Fire Force thing, which is to put the infernal to rest. And we finally got Iris back in the spotlight after long months. Shinra accompanies her to baptize their weapons in the Baptism church. But because of the rising tensions with the Evangelist linked to the church, Iris is not herself this episode. I love the dialogue between Shinra and Iris. It's really rare that they're in a moment together in a normal scene, and Shinra's advice to belive in something struck Iris strong. I I mean hey it made Iris smile again and I smiled too, what a very good ep-

And then we get to the last part. So the lewd part we saw in the first OP was Assault training to beat her foe, the lecherous Tamaki. After a humiliating defeat in the Nether (still love that arc), he's training to finally surpass her by the means of---lewd methods. One thing I don't like about the first season is how Fire Force goes into comedic tangents, that are not funny all the time. I get the joke in Assault's problem and it kinda is funny but it's so dumb. But I can't deny Tamaki is back at her strength, which is to lewd. Panty shots and full-on naked body, wow...I kinda (don't) like it.

Anyways if Assault and Tamaki's fight will be the spark for the next arc, I don't think I'll be happy. In the end, atleast we have a Shinra x Iris moment. And next week, it's Maki's turn to be in the spotlight again.

In the scene where Assault goes to the cabaret, behind him there is a man with red hair complaining that his daughter doesn't talks to him and he feels miserable for that. That is a reference to Maka's dad from Soul Eater, who was a womanizer that tended to visit those places anytime he felt depressed cause Maka didn't want to have anything to do with him.

If you read the dialogues of that part, you can see the lady who accompanies him calls him "Scythe-san", that is how Maka's dad was known in Soul Eater (Death Scythe cause he was the weapon of the Shinigami).

Hope I've been able to help you.

Pretty decent episode. Iris is cute and love how she is able to confide in Shinra. The piggy back ride at the end was adorable. Didn't really like the ecchi ending, a bit disturbing imo. But the reference with Maka's dad was spot on. Looks like the next story is about Maki. Hopefully, her development is as good as Iris' was.

An evangelist assassin is having trouble against Tamaki!?!?
good bonding with Shinra & Iris...also sweet piggyback ride! but what the hell did Shinra see a glimpse within Iris? oh no! looks like bad news!
5/5.

so i don't really know if it was just a Easter egg but same time, same world as Soul Eater mention. because if you notice the cabaret that Assault went into. Mr. Scythe was in the background sobbing over his daughter not talking to him once again. just like the pilot episode of Soul Eater. I also noticed in episode 1 of the new season the hat store there were Death and Excalibur masks


Yea it was refreshing to see a cameo. But how can it be the same universe? You mean while soul and maka were fighting witches, human combustion was happening in the rest of the world?

First part is a very serious one. It must be really tough to accept that what you believe since the beginning is created by the enemy you are fighting.

While, the second half is so hilarious. Assault is obviously more powerful than Tamaki, but Tamaki's unintentional moves are super effective against Assault. And it's so funnt that even the other White-Clad members think that the person Assault is fighting is really strong. lol

That segment with Assault was some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen in a shounen, but it honestly cracked me up a lot and I don't think this specific instance is worth complaining about. I definitely prefer them doing an entire skit for the Tamaki fanservice comedy though, rather than just injecting it into serious scenes.

- 04:04 "YAY!!" That was adorable.
- 04:13 "Church date with the sister..."
- No! It's wrong to look at the "sister" like that!
- "People Need Faith."
- 10:45 SISTER's expression!

ASSAULT is back!
- "Just you wait, TAMAKI KOTATSU!"
- "The real thing... the real thing is so much different."
- "She's good. She's too good."

IrisxShinra or ShinraxTamaki...... I'm fine with either of them. Iris' beliefs now being reassured by Shinra, she will be just fine. It seems the 1st pillar still makes Shinra uneasy when he sees Iris. The second half with Assault was just...... wow. That scene from the previous opening now makes sense🤣

Shinra got possessed by Machio-san for a moment there XD

The second half kinda felt like I was watching a different anime...
And the surrounding reminded me of that park in Doraemon.

I wish they didn't include the second half here and made it an OVA or special.

That second part was hilarious. Kinda funny to see this concept of "resist sex by watching porn", it's exactly the contrary lol
Also interesting to see how Tamaki bothers some people, especially when these are most likely watching porn or boob streamers/cosplayers on a daily basis

Literally the best episode of the whole season.
It's way better than those dumb battle we've got throughout the whole system.

It has actual character development and chemistry in the first half , portraying a more realistic view of how people cope with doubt and struggle.
It has top tier love comedy.
This episode has everything, and is some of the few episodes I don't feel like my intelligence get insulted throughout season 2.

Iris had some adorable moments this episode, even when she was flexing her nun muscles it was super cute <3 poor girl having a flashback of the burning Sisters when the priest turned to an Infernal. Shinra giving Iris a piggyback ride was nice.
Incredible cute Iris

Tamaki Kotatsu the Assassin! Nice!
Assault the poor guy spent the entire time since the Nether Arc with his "Special Training" to "overcome the Female Form" how he calls it, but he didn't manage to overcome Tamaki's Form lol
I figured he would do such a training cause they showed a glimpse of it in the first Opening of Season 2
In the end he gets the Realization that no matter how much he trains or tries; he just can't win against her?! That must be Devastating after all the "Special Training" he has been through. I won't blame him, Tamaki's ̵u̵n̵p̵a̵r̵a̵l̵l̵e̵l̵e̵d̵ ̵s̵h̵a̵m̵e̵l̵e̵s̵s̵n̵e̵s̵s̵ means are merciless


Poor Tamaki beeing fully exposed, but she is too freaking cute <3

The first part - very informative and stays on point with the storyline, expressing feelings and giving some insight into future events. Nice ShinraxIris moment.

On the second half - "MUTE" - if you have nothing good to say, say nothing.

Just wish Tamaki's character would hurry up and evolve beyond fanservice. It annoys me when people call her Maki, which is a much better-developed character, but gets less and less screentime.

Overall, good episode, it should have been split into separate eps.
