| Shinra's younger brother....not going to lie, Shou slightly gives me the creeps in this show. Then, there was that bizarre performance that shook their world. Crazy how much the tone shifted in just one episode and cliffhanger. This one seems like a buildup so next one should be even more exciting. |
 |
| Not like that girl was ever going to betray Sho anyways, so I do think he was right by being a bit too vigilant, but yeah, she a nice girl, so don’t be so hard on her:) Btw, we’re really getting the detours this season, don’t we? Till last episode it was the thing with Arthur and now Sho. Though at least Sho has a genuine reason with him. That is that though, at this point I think Hibana should just join company 8 lol, because it anyways looks like she’s already a part of their group. Iris rooting for the pairs, but somehow not naming Lisa and Vulcan felt like a crime. Really they had fun this episode, but genuinely speaking, THE ENTIRE YAP OF THAT FUCKING MOLE SCHOP OR WHATEVER FELT LIKE IT LASTED HOURS… seriously, like pls fast forward through those kinda segments. I mean we've important things to deal with right? Good that Obi and company 8 are getting the support of the other companies, as yeah they'd very much need it.. first pillar has finally came out, I mean. |
| This week’s episode title “advent” is very apt as it’s really the final calm before the coming storm, the great cataclysm is upon us and peak fire force is about to be animated finally. So hype. It’s funny how even with all the years of brainwashing, Sho is still Shinra’s little brother on the inside and feels that pull to reunite with him. He might not understand the reasoning behind it, but something just tells him he NEEDS to see Shinra again. Fate’s a funny thing. Cracked up seeing him try to sneak out and it was cool to see a little of the white clads’ daily routine lol. Sho’s gotta be grateful to Arrow too. She’s one of the most loyal and genuine friends you could ever ask for. And she’s not just loyal to him because of the evangelist or him being a pillar, she cares for him as a person in the same way Haumea and Charon have that relationship. We need a Lushan mole spinoff! Forgot about the little guy, but it’s nice to see him back lol. Seems like everyone’s feeling drawn together in the build up to the cataclysm. Always great to get Hibana screentime, the way she tried to tell Shinra she was helping the 8th because of him and he’s just too dense to pick up what she’s laying down lmaoo, man please leave this dork alone, Hibana. Love how sister Iris instigates stuff with Tamaki and Shinra too. She plays innocent but she’s got a little devilish side to her lol. Who would’ve thought the ONE thing we all remember from high school math class would be humanity’s undoing lmao. Pi being the key to the cataclysm is crazy. Time’s running out, but at least the 8th have some allies in the 2nd and 4th.. Will it be enough tho 🤔 find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z 😂 can’t wait to see these next few eps |

| With the first half of season 3 coming to an end soon, it's time for things to start ramping up. The 8th thankfully still has some people who are willing to fight on their side, but time is running out now that the White Clads are kicking off the next Great Cataclysm. We should be in for some good stuff in these last 2 episodes. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Nice to see Sho again. Figures that when you try to avoid people that you run into more of them. Arrow's as dutiful as ever huh. Nice to have Cap Hibana assist the team as one of their first ally in this crucial phase. Iris trying to play matchmaker was amusing. What he saw in the mirror was a balloon lol. The cafe owner must be shaking in his boots as he listened to Obi's convo. Still it was nice to see companies thats willing to act to help them. Looks like things are getting real. |

 |
| Calm ep Sho has now been truly enlightened and has now escaped from the grasps of the White Clad for now. Whole lotta funny faces and now we are discussing ships. Now the summoning of the pillars commence. This ep adapted from ch 207 - 210. Some events were rearranged and sum characters got cut bc they were fodder. Really looks like 216 is the end goal for this cour. 9/10 |

| I love it when Fire Force gets serious but after the same time have too many funny moments 🤣😂 Sho was about to leave nether to find his brother without anyone seeing him but ends up meeting each and everyone of them lol Arrow is the best guardian waifu 😘😘 Everyone trying to choose the best guy for Hibana and ends up talking about who they love and hate lol We can see Maki getting jealous when Hinawa's name got mentioned and Tamaki being a Tsundere when it comes to Shinra 😄😄❤️ Scop nearly ate up half of this episode with his useless talk 😭😭 I guess we are gonna have some fine action in the next episode. |

| @Softhenic03 I thought the mole talk was great, and the whole going on forever was the joke. Found it more entertaining than parts of the Burns vs Shinra fight |
| The mole talking crap was so offputting. This show has a lot going for it, but the atttempts at humour are always really hit and miss. |

| 90% filler. and whats with the edginess of "pi hasnt been calculated" god whoever wrote this must've just picked buzz words out of a hat. 2/5 |
| A bit surprised we have time to spend on Scop’s adventures but I am happy to see that goofy mole again, unfortunately we didn’t even get to hear what he traveled there to say yet lol, oh well. I did really like seeing Captain Obi talk Captains Honda and Pan tho, the first two seasons were a journey of getting all these people behind the 8th’s back and now is the time to call on them, hopefully they can get the rest rallied too, including Haijima. And boy is it nice to see Sho waking up and abandoning the white-clad, I’m not sure what the plan is when he meets up with Shinra but I’m looking forward to their reunion, also it’s nice that Arrow is so loyal that she decided to let Sho go and even stick with him, she’s probably the hottest of the white-clad so I’m happy with this lol, maybe her and Sho can become allies before the Great Cataclysm begins. Also, damn what was Haumea hearing during that one bit? Sounded like the screams of the damned lol. And lastly, looks like we got something big going down with a pillar rising out of the sea, next episode title sounds pretty hype too, I hope these final two episodes for now can be epic one to send us off with until the continuation next year! |
| Oh man it's about to get crazy! On another note I thought it was funny when everyone was trying to ship the other members lol |
| It's weird to think that after all this while, the brainwashed Sho would settle in the White Clad being taken care of by Haumea and the others as their captain, doing nothing but be a sitting duck. But after a mere moment of witnessing Shinra, the urge for the brothers' meeting is strong, at least for the younger brother wanting to see his older brother with Arrow accompanying him in disguise. With Company No. 8 all together again in the face of more danger with the Great Cataclysm coming soon, the pairing game on Iris's end sure has everyone all clamoring about forcing ideal partners on each other. And for Scop to finally resurface again, the Lushan mole had his own endurance arc against the Hell Hound lol. Sure, that story is worth telling, but it's layered with so much fluff in-between that nothing much of it is significant, until the relevancy of the Lady in Black in regard to the catastrophe incoming. As the White Clad assumes the Pillars together, Scop puts in the word that trying to decipher pi would bring the world to ruins, which everything has already been put in place unlike the last. With Obi's secrecy on his informants from other companies who're willing to support Company No. 8 or not, help may be small, but it's significant in the long run. Together with Scop's evidence of the man-made earthquakes that Sister Sumire concocted, the first of 8 Pillars is erected...and the Great Cataclysm has finally begun. This will be a long race to stop the White Clad for the calamity they're about to create once again... |

| I mean, it was an OK episode, at least much better than the last one. I personally liked the bits with Sho and his livings in The Nether, something I feel like should have been explored before, especially his relationship with his protector, Arrow, a character that has been shown so much in the anime, but never in the perspective of being Sho's protector. The middle of the episode was a bit oksish, since they were only talking about things that we already knew about, and some comedy in between. Seen some people complain how the comedy was really badly place, but I am honestly not even surprised, and I think the anime did much worse before, but yeah, this is yet another example of that (they literally be talking about the end of the world, and still make jokes in between, this anime has a really hard time taking itself seriously). The pilar appearing at the end made me wonder what is its function. |
| Shit is about to go down HARD. Iris can be so devilish sometimes lol, she felt like a fkng redditor with all that shipping lmao I wanted to see Hibana explain the food poisoning and Sumire's plot to see how Iris would react to it, but because of Scop that never happened, she told them off-screen 🫤 |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| A pilar appeared in middle of the ocean!!! Scot has great information1!!!  |
| Can anyone tell my what manga chapter this episode adapted? |
| Random Captain Tsubasa reference outta nowhere. And Iris talking about ships and not even mentioning the obvious Vulcan x Lisa smh. Another meh episode except for the first and final minutes with Sho and that pillar emerging from the water. |
| For a 12 EP series I am really disappointed. Fire Force had a lot of potential, but tbh if they're going to do all of this filler it should have been 24 EP, not 12, for this season. Most EP's don't come to a satisfying conclusion and just jump to the next plot point, which is clearly the let's reshape the world by blowing it up. Never seen that concept before. Haters will hate, but really, this was one of the most unique show concepts that fell off hard for me : ( My favorite part of this series is the ending. They put more effort into that than the entire season so far. Banger ED w/ amazing animation. I'll admit I have never read the Manga so I'd hope it is a higher standard, but I don't see anything satisfying coming out of the last two EP's. Sadness. |
| So many humorless people here -- the mole was the best part! |
| Okay many infos but also some useless ones but you would expect that from Scop it's nice to see it back I almost forgot it ahah |
 |
| So the 8 human pillars will be followed by 8 giant concrete pillars raised by that creepy old nun? I did not see that coming. Once again though, the writer's obsession with the number π/pi -and more generally their seemingly complete STEM illiteracy(?)*- renders the plot risible, and suspension of disbelief in mortal danger. π can be neither 'deciphered' nor 'decoded', because it's neither an obscure ancient script nor an encryption algorithm; it is simply an irrational number. Claims of "calculating" π also make no sense if no digits are defined (like here), since that could mean anything from 3.14, which is easy to 'calculate' without a computer (you just draw a circle, crudely measure its perimeter, and divide by its radius; that's it), up to trillions of digits, for which a computer algorithm is required. Calculating π to more digits is of high value to science, engineering, astronomy etc And, lacking a GPS system, to geolocation accuracy. I assume what the writer is trying to pull with their crude mentions of π, and why the first Cataclysm was only partly a success is this: Lacking some other way to accurately pinpoint geolocation you need to use geometry - and thus π. The 8 Pillars will probably form an octagon on Earth. The more digits the White Clad have calculated π to the more accurately the octagon's 8 points/pillars can be placed by the old hag. For some reason very high accuracy of the pillars' position must be required for the Second Cataclysm to be fully effective, and thus tens or even hundreds of digits of π. So, while 'calculating pi' alone makes zero sense, "calculating pi up to the 100th or 150th digit" would have made perfect sense. But then again we're talking about a writer who had the genius of the team claim gold gets... "more magnetic with higher temperatures" 🤦🏼 *No one is that STEM illiterate, so my guess is they've simply been using scientific impossibilities as lame plot devices - i.e. the direct opposite of what Dr Stone's writers do. Pity... I fully enjoyed Scop though 😊 |

| Pretty slow episode, but at least we have Hibana joining the crew. This is one of those shows where I have no idea who to ship, but I guess Shinra and Tamaki would fit together quite nicely. |
