THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The fight for the Fifth Pillar Inca between the White Clad's Charon and Shinra rages on.

As expected, Inca would only be popular with being on the opposition side, as told by her mentality of wreaking havoc as her bread-and-butter. And convicing this little devilish girl is more troublesome than given a thought.

But what Vulcan and Lieutenant Hinawa found are horned flame humans, more than just Infernal humans, and they're more trouble than just Infernals alone. WELP, Tamaki with the occulent fanservice again...

This time, Companies 2 and 5 came to aid in putting out the massive fire, a request for extra help. And Arthur facing off against Haumea, quite bold actually for a "knight in shining armour".

The sign of the Horns, the new skill of Shinra from Commander Obi to defeat the unbreakable Charon...and it's gonna be fire.

Another solid episode, liking how Season 2 continues its stronghold.

Really great episode with (as always) AWESOME ANIMATION!!!
So... The Pink hair girl (CV Shimabukuro Miyuri) does not want to be saved nor captured by anyone, and just want to be Free... I get that feeling, but geez let Shinra Explain something girl...
Anyway, the 5th and the 2nd division, with the Sister Division came to support The 8th Division on this mission, that somehow wasn't Officially approved by the people above... So they came only because the 8th Division's Captain is such an amazing person, and the are Happy to work with Him!

The knight prince, which is a king, which is a Knight who is a King, began fighting with Uemeha...? Or something like that (I don't remember the name)

Next... Finally, Coruna!!!!

Haha, even though Tamaki was in battle, she was always careless and unlucky, and I laughed when I saw that Tamaki's bra was came off.

That charon v shinra fight where they’re going through the building was awesome. Other than that, I noticed a fair bit of reused animation this episode. Pacing felt a little off too, could’ve just been me, but still a solid episode.

David production have been amazing with the big moments so I’m willing to let a few episodes here and there slide.

Can’t wait for next week

Tamaki with her fan service lol.

Charon isn't the type of opponent you can take down easily and I'm looking to seeing how his fight with Shinra will end.

We got a full scale battle going on now. Multiple facets to the White Clad attack on this town. Shinra facing Charon some more is fucking awesome to see!! Shinra and the big man flinging each other around, then through buildings! Which looked incredible btw, animation this episode staying top notch. Charon brings instant fear and dread whenever he keeps grabbing Shinra and complexity owning him in this fight. Can't lay a scratch on the bastard. While his squad grabs Inca he's keeping Shinra at bay. Showing a weaknesses to Shinra attacks, all speed not much power. His normal way of beating opponents won't work on this guy, gotta pull out the ultimate move!

Loved seeing the other fire soldiers pull up to help out the Eighth. Those platoons helped a lot to keep the internals back while the sisters would say the prayer. All these people basically murdered by the White Clad giving them the bugs we saw last season. Almost felt like a zombie apocalypse with how many there were. Endless droves coming at Hinawa and Vulcan. Tamaki at least tried her best. I screamed for joy when Karim, Kishiri and Jugg showed up!! The boys coming in clutch!! Love them. Always badass when the back up arrives.

Arthur facing Haumea again will be awesome to see more of. Giving her a heavenly strike then keeping her from relaying orders to the infernals. Now they just have the big demon infernal to face while Shinra digs deep.

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)....

One more episode of Enen no Shouboutai and oh man ... what an episode!

The fight between Charon and Shinra reaches the critical point, with an impartial (and very difficult to convince) Inca ...
Also, the union of Brigades 2 and 5 has been great (just like the animation!)

Very good episode ... and the series so far
I'm just waiting for the next one!

Beautiful background animation when charon and shinra went through the buildings. Background animations are basically almost extinct now that cg backgrounds exist as they are much easier to use for motion shots, but boy does hand drawn look good. The last time I saw amazing background animations was in mob psycho S2.

Didn't really like this episode, wasn't bad but it was underwhelming I was ready for a big fight, that last episode teased. Also, I am starting to actually dislike Tamaki now before I just didn't care for her but now she is just getting annoying with the fanservice jokes stuff. Anyways at least I got 2 fights to look forward to.

Really did not like this episode. Strong re use of animations and in general weak animation. Tamaki as per usual arrives at a really bad moment for fan service(not gonna lie looking hot tho). I like the fifth pillar even though she a bit annoying. Lets hope that the whole preparation of this episode with lead to a much better next one.

Though we seen infernals before seeing a human transform into one at such speed sure was scary. So Inca is someone that believes that those with abilities should be able to act as they wish huh. Still even without the chase for her the size of the outbreak sure is proving to be overwhelming for the 8th. After so long Its nice to see Tamaki again. To think this battle will be her first field trial as a newly trained sister though. Bikini and veil sure make quite the kinky combo though. The reinforcements from the 1st, 5th and 2nd sure was timely. Despite Jug's fear his attacks sure were quite precise. While the reinforcements have allowed the 8th to turn the tide the hardest part of the battle will be next between the raging fires and the demon infernal as well as the battles with Charon and his partner. Overall an excellent action packed ep that featured some neat action combined with some good expansion into Inca's personality.

I loved the action as always but this episode really made me mad in a couple of places. Inca feels like the embodiment of a Karen, her complaining was so annoying, "My body, my choice" actin ass. Shut up, the city is burning down. As much as I love Tamaki, I really thought she would be doing something useful when she showed up, but nope. I know I was supposed to laugh but it just annoyed me so much. Give her some more spotlight without her bill-paying "lucky lecher" bullcrap.

For god sake! The cliffhangers in this anime are driving me insane; I'm not patient enough to wait a week for this shit haha There was some more awesome fight scenes this week, especially between Charon & Shinra.

I seriously have no idea wtf is gonna happen with Inca cause she's way too crazy to protect but it's also urgent that Company 8 don't let her fall into the hands of the Evangelist... but how do you do that when the girl don't want protection?!

I really wish Maki would just fucking quit and go away; she's so useless that she makes Sakura look helpful.

Intense battle episode. It was cool seeing the different units fighting together instead of being a pain in the ass with each other. Shinra was really struggling with Charon all the time too.

I had been warned by @Shinuki_n_Reborn that the new girl Inca was not going to get any better and boy was he right. She is an imbecile of the highest magnitude. I hope she joins the Evangelists for good so my dislike for her can be justified, and hopefully, we don't have to see more than is necessary of her obnoxious ass.

Another good Fire Force episode!
Inca doesn't want to be saved, she craves a life full of danger and excitement- she wants to choose her own path. This adrenaline junkie personality she makes her unexpectable and dangerous
However, because she was an adolla bust she is going to be stripped of her freedom
I think soon or later she either going to have a pick a side or be captured
Tamaki's fanservice has returned!
Can't wait for next weeks episode

This episode was full of tension, the animation was OK, specially for the battle between Shinra vs. Charon,I can't believe there was only 1 sister for to many infernals!. I did not expect at all that they would come to help squad 8, I thought they were going to die or flee the place, and Tamaki being scolded half naked by her superior, lol

Charon is OP, literally sends Shinra flying, and just by walking you can see his power, a character that would be scary to face.

I expected more resistance from the Inca, but it is understood that his powers are new and the followers of the sect are experts in combat, putting Shinra to the ground

The next episode will be very interesting, I can't wait for the outcome! Let's Rock!

this has been a problem since season 1 imo the character designer and his/her animation directors of Fire Force are lacking imo so you get a lot of those off-model character drawings but in sakuga moments its awesome though so i forgiven it and still enjoy it lol

thats why i was disappointed that they do not use the character designer or character designs of Soul Eater because Soul Eater is more easy to draw anyway for the animators

I love Tamaki, I really do. And I think the lucky lecher gag is funny. But it wasn't needed for this episode. I wanted to see her really do her job as a sister.

Charon is so badass, powerful and funny, love him!

A little too convenient to have other companies suddenly come and help.

2/5 episode overall.

CHARON's WALK, CLAP. Cool action scenes.

Its cool that new characters with more Power & Fighting Experience than SHINRA are introducing.
It seems SHINRA's Adolla Burst is not a big deal for few enemies. I hope to see SHINRA getting Powerful as the series progress.

I like fanservice as much as the next guy but Tamaki's presence can be annoying in the middle of a serious fight. If her fanservice thing happens during a lighthearted comedy scene, then fine, but it feels so out of place to have this character only be used for a single gimmick during every scene she's in, regardless of the circumstances. Other than that complaint, I enjoyed this episode (especially that sakuga blessing when Charon and Shinra were crashing through the building).

I don't know, but the pacing is just fine for me. It's like they adapted 3 chapters of the manga this time and as a manga reader it makes me glad they really made the episode a cliffhanger. But yeah, I might be wrong regarding the pacing.

Damn. This episode is straight out of Michael Bay due to sound effects and explosions everywhere, but well executed. Animation became top notch when Charon throws Shinra out of the building. I can't wait for the next week's episode for the conclusion of Shinra vs Charon fight.

wild episode won't lie, lots of separate fights popping up now with different members. Evangelists definitely knew what they were doing this time around and executed it quite well, the awaking of a fifth pillar while causing enough infernos to ignite to spawn a demon and burn the city down before the fire force can act.
Heh, so inca decided to choose the latter and join no one. Very interesting, i mean the girl seems a bit crazy, and i feel like she doesn't properly understand her situation as the fifth pillar rn, but either way i feel like theres more to her abilities and that'll make her capable of fighting alone.
Reinforcements from other companies were nice to see, seeing returning characters like lieutenant Karim, Tooru and Juggernaut was nice. Honestly i'd like to think of it as a returning favour from all the work and help shinra and the 8th did last season with other companies.
God dammit, Tamaki will forever be walking fan service and i'm A-ok with that. Something about being put to rest by a nun in a bikini after suddenly fucking combusting into a flame demon from the works of Satan, has really flipped a weird switch in me... either way i love her.
idk this could just be me, but does anyone else feel like they slightly nerfed shinra? i swear he didn't use to be able to get jumped that often, and packed a BIT more of a punch. Eh, oh well next episode he might turn the tides.

Great animations, bad dialogue,trivial power ups, great character designs, tons of shounen moments and cool backstories.

The anime is basically bleach before it became the long winded non sense story. It's hard to get invested in the super interesting plot when the filler is so jarring. I just want to know what is happening in this world, I'm so tired of these 4 episode long shounen fights. He's going to flick his fingers... to be continue.

Maybe I'm alone here, but the climactic moments feel really silly and too much. Every fight is basically, punch fly talk, punch fly think, cut to next scene. What a crap director. Being carried by his art director.

This series could be explored into a more complex story by having the regular citizens be more afraid or prepared of spontaneous human combustions (shc). You'd think if these incidents are happening more regularly in our world, there will be more countermeasures other than a special fire fighter. Every buildings are required to have water sprinkler, researches on symptoms of potential shc victims by both government and individual experts, weapons developed to put the infernals to rest that can be used by regular fire fighters and polices, more effective way to give the prayer other than having the sister around.
Fire Force have nice concept, but i prefer they could be more serious and compelling.
