| I expected for Shinra to stop Nataku at first, but Charon and Kurono, woahh. They stole the show. |
 |
| Kurono is a fucked up guy, but he's the necessary fucked up needed to balance Nataku. Charon just gets mad respect. That dude is like full proof awesomeness. Screw Inca. So, now it's Haijima and 8th versus Evangelists. |
 |
| What a nice episode! It was definitely on fire! I completely forgot about Charon’s epic moment so it completely blew me away when he reflected that haha. Charon really is one of the best characters in the show, I’m so glad they’ve given him so much time to shine this season! One of the things I really appreciate about Fire Force is that even though Shinra is the protag, he’s not the only one resolving the conflicts in the plot. Before it was with Inca how he’s not able to understand her twisted mindset and why would she willingly go with the Evangelist. And now here with Nataku, Shinra wasn’t able to save him either, and actually helped, a bit, in feeding into the toxic mindset Nataku already had. I also really like the fact that you can tell the Haijima president, even though he does desire profit, he does still seem to care about human life. Different from how usually when scientists are put in an “evil” role they’re 99% irredeemable and corrupt who have lost their humanity and valuing life or they’re somehow misunderstood. |
| This episode was very special to me. It's like I felt an Adolla Link with it. The perfectionist parents and high expectations are portrayed 10/10. Feeling like a robot and feeling like one must be perfect at everything is something I'm still trying to overcome too, even in this age. What he learned was a very important lesson; everybody can make mistakes and be weak. Japanese people known with their perfectionist perspective so they really understand how this feels and what solves it. Unfortunetly in life there is no protector so %99 of the people won't get how hard it is to overcome this, even the one who tries to overcome it can't understand all the time. I wish this episode was written with this feelings, cheers. |

| I knew that Kurono would be the one to save Nataku cause their precious toxic bond was pretty obvious XD Their relationship is touching and funny at the same time XD “Stay weak enough for me to want to bully you” — Nataku getting so happy over it... ≧∇≦ And Nataku blushing after being called weak was cute and weird, he has become a masochist now (￣▽￣) Nataku's backstory was quite relatable for those teenagers who are struggling. Charon was the hero of this episode, saving not only the pillars but the whole country all together. How he's able to keep his calm about Haumea is impressive. Everyone including the White Clad is cursing Haumea after this incident. Can't wait for the time when Arthur finally defeats Haumea. Now that Haijima and the 8th joined forces, their investigation will get easier. Now Vulcan can get his necessary supplies without any trouble. Arthur enjoying in his legendary world to the fullest, the world which Vulcun gave his all to make... |
| Great fight even it was for 10 minutes. Now Haijima seems to be nice but I still suspect of them. This is building up every chapter |

| Nataku Son: -10 years -masochist |
 |
| Nutaku and Kurono are a weird match but I can't say I dislike it |
 |
| I don't like how they're getting friendly with Charon, with Haijima I can understand. But Charon and his cult are deliberately killing people and generally creating chaos. Can't be friends with those bastards. |
 |
| I liked the plot for son alot here, it being a much needed relationship with kurono despite being a nasty one was a fascinating idea from the mangaka in my openion |
| Charon became complete Badass this episode, i mean he was a complete Badass before but surpassed himself again. Also the Flashback of him trying to raise Haumea to be a good Child... He had the best intentions, all the bookmarks in his Child-Raising guide were a nice touch... Charon tried his best at least.    Kurono beeing the one to stabilize Nataku's mental state, after tearing down the giant Infernal and in the end Nataku was even looking forward to getting beaten up by him, this kid is beyond help. And Kurono beeing right in all the points he made for his own twisted reasons in his dialogue... crazy episode, but fucking awesome |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Charon is the realest man. Looks like the 8th is getting a fat bank transfer. |
| so much shit went down this episode wow. Hate to admit it but, if it wasn't for Kurono's scuffed ideals i doubt Nataku would have kept sane, even if Nataku perceived what Kurono was saying differently to what it actually meant, everyone goes home happy i guess. Poor Nataku, kids gone through so much, even before getting combusted. Wait, so you're telling me Nataku is able to release the firepower to, give or take maybe even more then, that of a fucking nuke? And you're telling me Charon fucking deflected it? Charon actually MVP status this episode hands down, that scene was bloody amazing, really did not expect him to come in so fucking clutch. Even got a really small clip of Charon and Haumea back in the day, ngl it was actually really wholesome seeing Charon trying to parent a young Haumea, really hope we see more of their relationship and past. And Haumea, plz treat Charon better, he's trying his best D: So, Haijima is willing to support the 8th for Vulcan's idea of alternate power sauce for Amaterasu, calm down with the human child adolla burst experiments, and also prove they aren't with Evangelists. Somewhat happy ending i suppose, looking forward to see what happens next. |
 "yabe." |
| Damn, Charon was tryhard Glad everything is back to normal! |
 |
| Wait! Are you trying to show me that creepy eyed pedo dude has a wholesome side? Damn that star eyed maniac really brought PTSD to the poor kid. |
 |
| WHOLESOME. Haijima is like Nintendo in the future |
 |
| A strong ending for the arc. Charon really impressed me with his tenacity. I never imagined that it would be Kurono would calm the kid down. Kurono and Nataku really do have a weird relationship but the kid seems happy so I guess it's fine. |
 |
| I didn't like the ending of this arc, in fact it seems to justify the abuse that Nataku is suffering. Haijima is still trash in my eyes lol. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| The message of this episode was really dumb. |
| Despite the odds the teamup's sure are doing well in negating the enemies attacks. The mental trauma that Nataku suffered as a result of gaining abilities sure was immense. Even though he's an enemy Charon sure had some guts taking that attack head on. Its amusing in how much more powerful Kurono gets when he's serious. In the end though they managed to stop Nataku its too bad that the children were unable to be freed from the company. Its uncanny how deadpan the prez was though. Still at least they confirmed that there was indeed someone within Amaterasu one that powered the entire city via their sacrifice. While they couldn't find the link that they needed at least now they have the backing to create an alternative reactor that can help the people of the empire in a more humane way. Overall this arc i though was pretty interesting that provided a great combination of both tension and action. |

| The Nuclear scene was phenomenal, the sound effects hit even harder than the usual, to top it off, the absolute chad of a man, Charon took the full brunt of that gigaton of TNT levels of energy and came off totally intact, all in the while leaving his mark on the moon, 500 km wide crater, a stupendous amount of energy that is... As if it's a tag-team effort, which in actuality it kinda is, Kurono followed up by dicing the flesh around Nataku with that sweet black ashen odachi of his, a duo of badasses taking down an impossibly catastrophic calamity in a matter of a few minutes, damn well done. Kurono's and Nataku's relationship is weird and completely ridiculous as Charon mentioned it. At least it seems that they'll be together, the white clads even decided its good enough to leave Nataku with kurono for now, but the biggest twist here is how after some back and forth arguments, Haijima ended up willing to support the 8th company, a collaboration with an immensely advantageous potential for both parties. As long as Haijima isn't going ahead with their plan to build a second Amaterasu and as long as Vulcan somehow find a way to build a power source that rivals Amaterasu without the use of an actual human being, then the world is fine for now... |
  |
| I think the more I'm watching this series, the more I'm getting confused about the end goal here,cuz we just witnessed mister muscles for brain is actually a good guy. Same for that creephead of a bully too. |
| That was an awkward conclusion. Haijima didn't quite make an 180, but they were still quite easy to statisfy and collaborate with. The Evangelist boys and girls seem very unorganized, Inca's protector did something and Haumea just goes and fucks it up to the point that Charon actually has to protect his enemy. I feel like the actions in this episode did not make that much sense. |
| Insane episode ngl |
| CHADron domination, I always thought he was was one of the coolest characters in the show and he really puts money where his mouth is. Kurono was also surprisingly badass, honestly if I was Shinra I would find myself severely lacking to stand up to guys like him (and I'd get my ass into training immediately). I caI hope that some sort of punishment or restriction is waiting for Haumea, I know that the Evangelists are generally out there, but she nearly destroyed the last bastion of human civilisation (along with all Pillars). Why would they even bother bringing her into missions if the Protectors have to ally with and defend their enemies from the results of her monkey business. |
  |
| What a fucked up ending for the arc, but that kid will likely be safer in Haijima than being pressured by his parents. Really fun arc. |
 |
| Plot twist! The Haijima CEO wants to team up with Vulcan & Co., the body builder is actually a keeper's savior, and the child abuser is actually the perfect tutor for a traumatized child. Can't they keep the bad guys as such? |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Just stay nice and weak. Please. |
 |
| Nataku: 🤨 Inca: Zamn 😍 hes so 🔥  |
 |
| If 8th brigade is on the side of good, and the white clad on evil. Haijima would be on the side of money. (Or Neutrality I guess.) Charon reflecting that city razing radioactive blast back towards the moon was cool. Kurono being the one to give the motivational speech to Nataku was a surprising subversion, since he's just a cruel bully and not a hero. I wouldn't say it ended well, but there was a silver lining in that Haijima is not an ally to the evangelist. |
 |
| I really don't understand these series... They decided to go with the dark Route after Joker's backstory, and made this whole facility dark, when they were abusing kids for their experiments, and even introduced a character that was a sadist, with a think for kids, that character being Kurono, that by the end of this episode, is supposed to be the "same person", which means, "he didn't changed", but is now acting a lot different to Nataku, because yes. 30 people died during that accident, but the main characters are completely fine, and even find themselves a good deal with Haijima, which made that information that people died just more of a "side fact". It doesn't really make sense for all of these character's change of hearts, especially considering how dark things were. I know this is a common troupe for Shounens, and this anime has done this before, but this time they took it to another level. It just makes this whole plot unbelievable and inorganic. If we ignore that, the fight scenes are still entertaining, and the overall mystery is entertaining as well. It was also really wholesome to see more of Charon, and how he treats Haumea more like his daughter, which is really sweet. And it seems that he really takes his role seriously, which makes you question why he joined the Evangelist to start with. |

| @PokefanPT It DOES sound really stupid, especially when everyone at 8 was gung-ho about saving kids being tortured. Now, suddenly they just moved on and things are back to normal. Shinra being as useless as possible so many episodes later is my favorite part. Why is he even the protagonist on the cover? Make the Charon guy the hero, at-least he does shit more cooler than the guy with stupid fire legs. Honestly, this series, on one hand I enjoy it, on the other hand, the protagonist is just "meh", the kind you see in other such anime. Oh well, re-watching this anime for the new season, so we'll see what they do with the character then. |
| Im mind blown! This episode had so much happening in it definitely my favourite episode so far this episode had it all pretty much imo 5/5 |
