| 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... |

Did anyone else notice this reference from Captain Tsubasa? |

| It's funny how the Japanese word for mass is the same as the latin "Missa" |

@Niwaka-Samurai i could totally fix her
| @RaidenSteiner yes, you could 😄 |

| 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. |
| Scop yapping as if the end of the world isn't near. |
 |
| honestly the mole was the best part. also the koi fish. |
 |
| Sho immediately beelining it out of the Nether when he got his memories of Shinra back is great. He's got to see his brother again before the earth becomes the sun 2.0. Scop's tale was full of valor and tenacity and unlikely bonds. It's a shame his information wasn't the most helpful, but it's still nice to see him again. |

| Honestly before the White Clads take the final step and do their entire cultist scorched earth plan, i lowkey kinda wished we got to see like a couple episodes of them outside of fighting and instead just hanging with each other and bantering, like a one off episode or something that just explored what they do outside of Evangelist activates would be fire. I also find it cool that White Clads have dedicated Guardians for pillars, i feel like it can also make for some cool short of how various Pillar's and Guardians interact with one another and what they're relationship is like, Charon and Haumea i 100% want to see more off, Shou and Arrow's would be interesting since both seem to be cut from the same cloth, Inca and Ritsu would also be funny to watch especially after learning from this episode they both share the same wave length of crazy. A relationship talk between the 8th was not what i was expecting in the same meeting as the start of a Dooms Day clock countdown, but Sister Iris being the the one to stir the most i found pretty funny, Shinra folding instantly to her words also felt relatable lol. Insane respect to see Captain Oubi still his neck out days after his capture to personally meetup with other Squad captains to gain support, similarly so to see how much respect other squad captains have for him and willingness to join arms because of their trust in him despite not knowing the full story so far. |
