After all that and Nataku still did not experience a adolla burst? That kid is going to be nuts. This was a really good episode, it was interesting to see Charon protecting Shinra, but he is a pillar so makes sense. Can't wait to see how this season ends.

Damn the first half of the episode was packed with adrenaline, i'm glad that Charon didn't die he was a total badass in this episode.

Also i like the relationship Kurono and Nataku have, it's precious and fucked up at the same time.

Another great episode. Only complaint is that I feel like Charon definitely should have died. He even got the "flashback right before you die" treatment.

really didn't expect to be rooting for Charon would 100% been okay with him going out causing a crater on the moon guy is too strong for what seemed like a not that important of a character.



and uh...yeah that was one way to get around dealing with child abuse 99% do agree it's a fucked up relationship but i guess in the logic of him being a walking time bomb this is the best way of not letting it tick i guess?

Damn, Charon's manliness was absolutely off the charts this episode! I actually thought he would die since he had the typical "flashback before death" moment but man, I'm so glad he's still with us. Haumea doesn't deserve such loyal protector, honestly.

Overall, nice episode and somewhat "decent" way to conclude this arc centered on Haijima and Nataku. Still don't know what to think about the fact of the toxic relationship between the kid and Kurono being the only thing that keeps Nataku's mind stable but guess I will just take Charon's words and consider this outcome as the best case scenario. And although Kurono is still pure scum before my eyes, I would be lying if I say I didn't find his messed up personality kinda interesting throughout this arc.

And as for the second half of the episode, the reunion between Haijima's president, Shinra and co. was actually rather interesting to see. Not to mention I was also rather surprised to see the president being so open to other options of energy besides Amaterasu. In the end, it's good to know he won't be an obstacle for the 8th. and will help them as long as Vulcan can plan a new way to bring energy to the Empire.

MVP Charon! Salute!

Kurono's concern is Nataku KS-ing weak people so he's mad and immediately defeated that huge infernal. lol. Not the perfect advice or choice of words, but are the most appropriate for Nataku who's been pressured at a young age. lmao

Pres. Haijima's eyes are shining when Vulcan told him that he's gonna build a generator more powerful than an Adolla burst user. Turned out, Haijima is actually pro-people.

Charon reflect was just immensely terrific!

looks like Shinra was a bit useless in helping Nataku...
and it looks like Haijima and 8th would be calling a truce huh...

Gaddamn, what an awesome episode. Charon definitely stole the show or should I say Chadron. You can't spell Charon without Cha(d).

Kurono is also a boss, he dealt with Nataku with ease. And speaking of those two they have some weird wholesome fucked up relationship now lmao.

The Haijima boss's sparkling eyes though when he saw Vulcan lmao, that's one way to get Haijima to cooperate.

Looking forward to the next episode for that Iris focus.

After a week-long break in anime and 6 episodes of Euphoria, I'm back with some hot scenes in this episode of Fire Force. Charon and Nataku took it away this episode. Both of their flashbacks are very good giving us more layers in their character. With Nataku carried away from society's expectations and Charon trying to become a parent to a wacky child, I love it. I almost thought Charon is gonna die in that dramatic move, but guess not. And Kurono actually has some good into him, now serving as Nataku's protector.

The arc has now concluded. Haijima and the 8th Division are now in an alliance against the White Clads, with Vulcan's dream of a new energy source is on it's roll (hey there's the topic of climate change and renewable energy source, what a timely episode after the 3rd debate). And Nataku and Kurono forming a weird yet acceptable relationship.

Finally, WE ARE GETTING IRIS FOR THE NEXT FEW EPISODES! After so long, she will be in the spotlight in the next arc. I am excited for those lovely sunflowers and the beautiful smiles of Iris and some nun waifus.

I really like the nuances of the characters and how the lines between good/evil were blurred. we know the 8th are the good guys, but the enemy groups are no longer clichéd villains and show not just their (big) unhinged reactions also motivations and displays of affection.

pleased with the consolidation idea that each pillar has a complementary bodyguard and can be circumstantial like Shinra/the 8th and Nataku/Kurono

It was clear the 8th wouldn't have been able to help Nutaku's mental health but I did not expect that resolution, Kurono is the best thing that Nutaku needs right now.

Charon was great but this episode he is even better, so badass and sticks to his core values, that's what I like a lot about the show, there is a clear villain but the lines between good and evil are blurred, it is all about staying true to yourself and what you believe on that dying world.

This was one hella interesting episode! I never expected Kurono to be Nataku's saviour. As Charon said; it's a weird relationship but it seems to work because Kurono has no expectations of Nataku and that's all he needed. Speaking of Charon; he is MVP of the ep for sure!

Loved that Haijima has nothing to do with the Evanglist; just nothing predictable and cliche shounen stereotype Fire Force is smashing. You can tell the President of Haijima isn't the villain he was first presented as; his eyes lit up when Vulcan said about a generator that doesn't use human sacrifice meaning it weighs on his mind what he's had to do for the good of people.

Damn that was a really cool arc! Charon and Kurono really stole this last chapter like the badass they are!

The end was really unexpected. Shinra didn't do almost anything and what Nataku really needed was Kurono's fucked up speech about how he should be weak. It made so much sense tho...don't know why I didn't think about it

Kurono is definitely one of my fav now! He's so fucked up but watching him face problems as a salary man was so damn hilarious I just can't help but like him haha

Another crazy and super intense episode! But to think that the kid would be tamed by the one he feared and bullied him, all he wanted to hear was "you can be weak", only if Shinra said it. Charon was definitely the MVP of this episode, what a blast that was! Their alliance was probably one of the most unexpected and best things that could have happend. And that crater or the moon, damnnnnnnn!

Never tough we would come to Haijima sponsoring the 8th, but i guess this is the best for both. Can't wait to see what Vulkan will do.

Finally, the next episode apparently will be dedicated to Iris's problems and doubts.

So thats it! The end of the Nata's arc using the power of Kurono's persuasion to calmed Nataku mental. He was really depressing, a lot of pressure that made him gone crazy to be stronger. Only one word of Kurono changed his mind toward the surrounding: Be weak! XD

Good job, Kurono! Your black ashes sword was too strong. But never forget about the power of will that Charon showed to me, that could reverted Nata bombastic laser to the moon. Crazy shit, this duo surprised me. A lot of determination they showed me, as a guardian to their respective pillar. Damn twisted plot, and its really satisfied me a lot. Never expected it to be like that xD.

Not gonna mentioned the surrounding, that might never had a chance to be told. Yeah, that minion lady and her great minion, got defeated in the background. But Haumea? Ran away casually. Ganbatte, Charon! Its glad to see Charon actually really worked hard to stopped the damn laser xD. Also, it might the first time Inka premonition failed to happened. I wonder if she got any failure again in the future? But her statement over Nata condition never failed to intriguing me, for sure.

Shinra, like Inka cases, was not so useful. He even couldn't beat a hard skin of that giant infernal. Yeah, sometimes, Shinra just need to chill a bit and let the side characters to be more badass than him. Its good! Then, Arthur, kept his dumb face at the matchbox roof. The fuck, Arthur? You missed a chance to shine! XD. And that flashback of Charon, tho, and Kurono action to Nata. He really enjoyed to humiliate the weaklings, even to the kid. Damn! But its a good symbiosis, and matched up with their own personality. Like Charon said, weird people must be pair with the weird people too. Fortunately, Shinra had a better guardian in the 8th division xD.

Okay. The ending at the Haijima kinda predictable too knewing the result at the battlefield. It seemed they officially became a next partner for them, after they finished Vulcan's inventions. Now, the new arc has begin. A new quest already launched. Also, its good to know the fact that Haijima was not even the real deal for them. Everything already cleared. Even if their existencies kinda bad too against the humanity. But what could they do? They needed them to lived under the Empire with a lot of their experiments. So, yeah, its really a nice deal between them. Because actually, its really obvious that the most villain of these series was the Evangelist. But, how could they find them? Lets see the next one!

The 3-way melee attack has now become a 3-man mission to save Nataku from his tormenting past: Shinra, Charon and Kurono's objective against Haumea's radioactive electrification.

BUT MAN, CHARON AND KURONO EASILY STOLE THE SHOW. To be a Protector of the Pillars, that is a high order, but Charon did it willingly as an insane OP Reflector, and Kurono is left with the scraps of Nataku's powers, the true test of powers between him and Uncle Reaper...and the "family" expectations to take care of from both sides (Kurono with Nataku, and Charon with Haumea).

But it's not all over yet...a collaboration between Haijima and Company 8, to fund a 2nd Amaterasu? That's a bad idea though to use Shinra, and Vulcan and Captain Obi challenging the President to another notion without using Shinra as a sacrifice is a step in the right direction.

Didn't expect Kurono to be Nataku's saviour, but for what's worth, it's all worth to the end, and therefore draws a close to the Haijima Industries arc. Pretty great content.

I know i'm late to realize this, but I've realized that this anime really makes you hate some of the characters due to them be such a maniac and absolute has a mental illness. Like, 95% of all these characters really turned me off about their mental illness. I'm not saying it's bad. Just really nice we're having this kind of show nowadays. AND I'm glad Tamaki's not having much screen time in the recent episodes. Her entire being and fucked-up fanservice makes this anime looks bad than it's already is. Thus, i know Kurono and Nataku relationship is toxic and non-brainer but i really like both of them.

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...

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

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.
