| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Joker is such an engima that they decided to dedicate an episode on him lol Pretty tense episode and it gets into deeper lore with connection of Joker. David Production's artistic production made this episode pretty satisfying, even with the psychology and violence. This episode felt like a work of art to me. |
 |
| Easily best fire force episode ever. This arc is gonna show y’all why Fire force is peak fiction. This was actually refreshing to me even as someone who knew what would happen. It’s been so long since I read this I forgot a lot of details. Great job by David production making everything feel fresh and high quality. |
 |
| Best episode of Fire Force!! |
| Great episode. This was fire. A lot of focus on Joker in this episode. He suffered a lot and it was satisfying seeing his tormentor getting sliced to pieces. |
 |
| Stary dogs are here and we have probably the best episode of the series so far (both seasons). Violent, raw, and fucking badass... thats how i could define this episode and the backstory of Joker (what a character.. really) David Production, tremendous job this time!!! |
| Talk about getting deep and dirty. I've been suspicious of the smoking guy character and his motives until we got to see his abuse as a child by the catholic church. ermm. I mean Holy Sol temple. It explains a lot and it was nice too see the umbrella guy get back up and into the fight. but whats with the ending. I thought the eye patch dude might of been on the right side but if hes down there with the assasins I'm not so sure anymore! Bring me next week soon!! |

| As they already said, it can be interpreted that Joker was sexually abused, why would the commander go then with a naked torso and physical contact? An episode with a mature theme, the development of Joker is well told in this chapter and the reason for his intentions is quite clear, I like that in the end he can take revenge, but that is not the only thing that heroes do. It is sad that the family that helped Joker died, you can see that the girl of his age liked him. In the end I wonder if the song he sings is real or is it something invented, does anyone know? Benimaru was having trouble facing a full squad, I think Joker focused on helping his partner first before killing the commander. I don't know if anyone else noticed the relationship with the Joker from DC comics. The eye thing, I think it was an experiment on the part of the temple of the sun, something like transplanting the eyes of a demon to humans, or simply a transplant of eyes between burns and joker. The next chapter will be the most exciting! I can't wait for the outcome between the 3 characters. With chapter 12 the season ends, next time I hope to see a new opening and ending, I will miss hearing Aimer. |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| Oh my god, Joker has a very dark and horrific past, a lot worse than anything I expected. I'm so glad he cut that fucker to pieces... but wish he could've suffered a bit more, the evil bastard. I've adopted Joker into my ever-growing family of broken & tragic anime characters who I want to protect and dote on haha Can Beni & Joker just be a permanent duo from now cause they're practically unstoppable when they're together? I'm looking for to seeing how they fare against our newly revealed scummy traitor. |
 |
| Best episode of Fire Force so far, it gives off a different vibe than the other episodes so far. David Production did an amazing job. |
 |
| ahh that episode... that's hot owo (10/10) |
| Feel pain, think about pain, accept pain, know pain... Shinra Tensei! |
| Beni being fine wasn't really a surprise, his opness goes beyond common sense. Also liked the Joker flashback(even tho I think they could've dedicated an entire episode to it) The madman went through some messed up shit and of course the church gotta rape. Another dope episode with Beni-J. The fights, fire. And now that Burns entered it really should become a wild party. Looking forward to next week. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| individualism vs collectivism damn did Joker got butt rape just like in prison when he was a kid and Benimaru fights are always full of sakuga awesome |
| damn rip that family that got merked just for letting joker in. |
 |
snowykevin said: damn rip that family that got merked just for letting joker in. oh ye i almost forgot that the saddest part of the episode there |
| Beni-J is the most awesome insane wicked sick outlaws that i've seen! truly a spectacle! but then captain Burns shows-up! this show knows how they can pump-up viewers!!! 5/5! |

| [quote=ldanes message=60741412] "Benimaru was having trouble facing a full squad, I think Joker focused on helping his partner first before killing the commander." Beni had no problems with those assholes. Joker killed them with his technique on the occassion. Beni is stronger than him, a fight on this level is just a warm-up for him |
| One of the best ep so far. Animation looks gorgeaous. Poor Joker, his past is dark and sad. Lol l'm curious when Beni will fight with opponent on his level because his op and he looks bored :) |
| By far the best episode of all so far, you can expect it to get even better with each episode |
 |
| despite fire forces very early themes of shoving very shounen persona's at you talking about heroes and what not this season randomly likes to hit you with some dark shit ,knew the church might be messed up but these assassin were fucked up explains how joker turned out how he is fire force really is at it's best when it comes to action and i overall really like the direction this episode it felt really different from the usual |
 |
| Beni-J out here singlehandedly fucking up the Holy Sol Temple. Joker's backstory though damn, I hate that commander, glad he got offed in the most trippy and Joker way possible. The family that took Joker in did not deserve that shit man, fuck the temple all my homies hate the temple. That was a good episode, we will probably find out more about why Joker and Burns are missing an eye in the coming episode. |
 |
| Benimaru is alive, there was no way that he would die right there. Damn, i kinda want Joker to win, he deserves that. But it will be tough, his enemy is strong and i doubt that there will be reinforcements. Can't wait for the next episode! Látom |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Benimaru/Joker duo => "Beni-J". That's cute. First of all, I agree with those who say the direction felt different this time. Its approach indeed looked a bit more "artistic" during some shots and sequences. Really liked it and I'm particularly glad it was used in a Joker-focused episode. Now regarding the episode, it was darker than I expected, with little-to-no comedy and I really appreciated that fact. Joker's backstory was indeed messed up and though I was already expecting something of that caliber coming from the catholic chur... I mean, The Holy Sol Temple, it was still hard to see the guy being physically abused and potentially raped for who knows how long. The part with the family accepting him into their home was also a nice addition but I wish it hadn't been so brief since I didn't feel anything when Joker discovered they were killed. Anyways, in the end, he managed to get some sweet revenge from that scumbag commander so I feel satisfied in that aspect. Only wish the bastard had suffered more but that's my vengeful self talking. So the Temple has a secret division/cult of assassins that act from the shadows, uh? Interesting narrative addition but I wonder if they will be as relevant as the Evangelist's followers in white robes. I personally doubt it but we'll see. And as for the ending scene with Burns, I'm not really surprise he has something to do with The Holy Sol Temple if I'm honest. The guy looked fishy since the moment he was introduced so now, I'm more interested in knowing what kind of connection he has with Joker as well as the whole deal related to both of them missing an eye. |

| Damn boi Joker was lit af, the visuals and animation was great. |
 |
| Answer me this, did Joker lost his eye during the forced raped? |
 |
| That was an epic episode. A lot of Joker's backstory I didn't expect. He has quite a horrific story and it's making him even more interesting, what a badass. Of course Benimaru did amazing as well ! And with that ending straight into the next exhilarating fight with Leonardo Burns. This episode went by so fast and I can't wait for the next one! |
 |
| I just can't stop thinking that he got raped by that Commander :( But he got his revenge! Loved that part when the body parts was sliced. |
vansonbee said: Answer me this, did Joker lost his eye during the forced raped? I don't think so. It's probably related to his power being a Joker? |
| WTF!!! This is probably the goriest episode of Fire Force. Joker's past is so cruel and dark. Beatings, destroyed the last memory of his family, raped and killed his foster family. No doubt Joker wanted revenge. And the way he killed that captain is so gruesome! Ohh. Benimaru metabolized the poison. He's also not affected by Joker's hallucinogenic smoke. So sturdy! lmao  |

| This is one of the best episode of Fire Force 2, HOLY HELL. We finally get the backstory for Joker (52), which is not a graceful upbringing and a cruel place to live on. Also... Yikes, I didn't expect such cruelty, really goes to show how Joker became who he is now. And also Benimaru which once again we haven't seen much of him in Season 2. But damn what an arc for him to show his powers again. Anyways, the elephant in the room for me THE ANIMATION FROM DAVID, MY GOD! I haven't seen any Jojo yet but if this is the S-Tier Sakuga i'm gonna get from that series and for Fire Force, then I'm on board for what's to come. Well, we're now halfway into this second season, hopefully the show keeps going into this direction cause this is flaming gold! |
 |
| If this was a Super Smash Bros fighter announcement: Beni-J coming in hot!  Beni-J is one hell of a duo, greatest episode yet this season! Beni's fight was amazing, great animation per usual. That Joker sequence was amazing as well, so colorful and exactly what you would expect from a Joker! So Burns is down there as well, man this got so much more interesting! |

| That went way darker. B-J team is OP. :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| The animation in this episode was very unique comapred to everything weve seen so far, especially that psychedelic sequence. Also big part of the episode is a really well animated fight which was really fucking cool. And im glad we get to see more of Joker, i hope he starts getting more screen time after this mini arc. |
 |
| This episode is probably the best from the whole series. The direction was great and the fights were fluid and fun. Joker and Benimaru are my favorite characters in the show after this episode. It seems that Captain Burns actually sides with the Church and could possibly be a villain. |
| Wow. I love how this episode is directed masterfully. Those fight between Joker and his former master felt more powerful than when I'm reading the manga. On the flip side, I'm excited to hear Kana-Boon for the 2nd opening. I can't wait to hear if it's going to be catchy has Inferno by Mrs Green Apple. |
