i dont think this episode was TO dark than some of the previous ones. the whole second season has this ruthless tone (does anyone remember Panda and Sancho?) maybe the most shocking thing here is that the characters were "given a face" and a bit of background before being killed. and we can feel it

Juggernoto my boy >w< besides, am bore of the complaints about Tamaki. is repetitive fanservice tiring? yes. is she a bad character? absolutely not

anyway, great animation work and great cliffhanger! waiting for more of Hinawa and Maki's brother

Well shit... things got gruesome real quick! I was actually shook when Hajiki was brutally killed like that so suddenly.

I've been intrigued by Juggernaut since the beginning of this series, especially with the whole seemingly hollow thing. It was awesome to have an episode focused on him... but if he dies I will riot!

YOOOOO Juggernaut popping off!!!! Takeru the real MVP. Tamaki was almost going to be useful but ofcourse not. Hajiki was pretty strong but mans just got sliced up in now time. Ritsu causing trouble again with infernals and undead crewmates that had sad backstories and that funny shoe one. Why are all these White Clad girls so damn thiccc, Haumea, Arrow and now this Knight of The Purple Haze girl. Much tension between Hinawa and Maki's brother.

Solid episode with good fights, character development, new characters and the merciless killing.

I cannot believe how people can think this episode was good....yeah the animation was ok, but oh god...everything else was shit. Seriously, am I the only one who thinks Tamaki is an offensively awful character? is useless, her fanservice quirk is stupid and presents her just as a sexual object to arouse the audience, and the author also treats her horribly like.... all of her battles end up with her being beaten badly and waiting for a man to save her... and for some strange reason she always seconds the popularity charts in the shonen jump....like...what is wrong with this people? they just want a girl that shows skin in the stupidest ways possible and gets beated like the spouse of an alcoholic? and that is somehow supposed to be sexy since her clothers gets removed like it was made of sugar in all of her fights because yeah...seeing a woman being beated to pulp = hot stuff amirite?. And this is the guy who made Soul Eater? a pretty solid anime with a strong/interesting female protagonist...like...really?

and yeah... the whole death flag part was pretty lame...honestly am I too old to find that kind of stuff funny anymore? I mean I didn't think it was offensive, I don't really care if you wanna do dark humor, but if you gonna do it....at least try to be funny?....I don't know man, do people really though those old tired clichés were hilarious? maybe Im just too old Idk man. Im not even a female, but If I were I would be even more grossed out by Tamaki as a character and the fact she is so popular.

What became childish :
-The villains move like three years old babies and wear diaper. The villains just look like teams of bad nurse cosplayers in this season. And their voice actor are babbling like idiots
-Arthur became completely stupid. In the first season he was just arrogant, now they just made him a pure fool and delusionnal 100% of the time. Are you telling me the part where he rides the top of the vehicule makes sense and is not childish?
-The plot is messy.
-The first episodes are just meant to see the character fooling around in the city, it as zero depth.


The animation quality of the first half was really down compared to the first season. In the second half it improved a lot especially during fight scenes.

Damn, what a way to kill off unimportant characters. Not even random flashbacks could make me feel something for those fodder soldiers... no, I lie. The dude who just wanted to try his new sneakers had me dying actually xD

Now seriously, I really missed Maki this episode. Fantastic animation aside, I couldn't care less about Juggernaut and his beheaded senpai. Not to mention also that seeing Tamaki demonstrating, once again, how much of a damsel in distress she is, was truly infuriating.

This said, let's hope next episode can do better considering the focus will be on more relevant characters such as Hinawa and Maki's brother.

The inconsistency bothers me. Showing so strong and capable enemies, but then when it comes to characters that the show wants to keep, it makes the enemies ridiculous.

I mean what was holding the whip lady back to whip off Juggernauts head so fast that he can't see it?
Why doesn't any bullet hit Viktor, even tho his entire squat got hit?

Normally I enjoy dark and bloody episodes, because i believe it makes anime more realistic
But I hate episodes that try too be dark ,And I can't get rid of the thought that the episode was try too hard to be dark.
And Tamaki......I am tired of Tamaki doing nothing but Fanservice. I don't expect Tamaki to be overly strong or win every fight. but the same things happens in every fight and it start bothers me now.

You do not seem to pay any attention at all also you seem rather femenist here is a question that if you answer this correct you are gonna get the answer you seek.

Would you a nobody who probably know nothing about martial arts be able to beat someone who is amongst the most powerful fighters in the world.

Answering this is the 1rst step of finally realizing why tamaki cannot beat these guys you mentioned because simply everyone from rekka to assault and this lady in this episode all these enemies had something in common.
THEY WERE OUT OF HER LEAGUE!!!!!!! Do you understand what this means?

They were much stronger if the author did what you wanted then it would have been realistically stupid and equivalent to some trash weak ass lady beating someone 20 times stronger than her.

You have zero common sense lad.

She is untrained she has little to no experience and she is a nun what do you exactly expect? to be able to beat characters like charon?
How the hell would that be realistic? At least she is weak and loses and she is consistent as a character.

This episode stripped the watchers of their comfort zone of being protected in that naive dream fantasy world and delved them into the actual true reality Fireforce post Catalysm.
The shift in tone and reality from a dreamlike and childlike world into a no hold bars world absolutely swooped audience of their feet, whether they'd like it or not. Before this, there were very dark themes and buildup for the past few episodes, but this episode absolutely intensified the grisly and immoral nature of fireforce to the max and gave us the most gruesome and despicable deaths yet.? "Cold" is the perfect way to sum up this episode, the characters were killed off like fireflies without remorse and with such a unique indifference; destroying any semblance of hope in the future development and potential of a few characters. The ambition and direction of D. Prod was entirely put on display, as they weren't afraid to kill such promising characters despite utilising them for further roles in the next episodes. Such as Hajiki who was presented to be one of the coolest and freshest bad asses in the anime to be killed in such a unemotional manner should be the direction that D. Prod continue to further pinpoint the true gruesome and despicable reality anime Fireforce. This is a similar dramatic effect and form that D. Prod used for Jojo which utilises the same technique of unfearful indifference to kill great characters despite their potential and role to the anime. If this were to be the cold direction that Fireforce proceeds, we might be in another emotional nightmare that might reach the heights of Re:Zero and I'm entirely up and looking forward to that.

This episode was crazy holy s... They mocked the death flag idea like that and made a plot twist with killing the gun guy without giving any flag. This episode was very realistic in so many ways. I still can't believe they showed me a very likeable character and chopped his head off in a moment. Plus, I think with that Juggernaut they made a very interesting character. He is weak minded and afraid of fire so he has multiple layers. Those layers represents his mindset aswell, because he is putting a wall with real world with them. But he wanted to take them of for the girl she loves, I think that was a metaphor too.

I was this 👌🏽 close to think “Juggernaut is so useless” I'm glad he proved me wrong. But did he sacrifice himself to defeat that white clad?

Hajiki was so cool but unfortunately he just lasted for like a few minutes...

I don't know why but I laughed when those soldiers were dying one by one after reminiscing their life XD

In that one scene I thought this became a hentai...

Fire Force always shakes me up. The immediate death of 3 new characters and Hajiki just being one shot to death after his bizarre display of gun dancing...... it's too much😭 I genuinely have no problem who Shinra ends up with as Juggernaut and Assault have the hots for Tamaki. I felt really bad for Tamaki, but damn...... she's genuinely tough! As for Juggernaut, you finally shined like a tank🔥

I love how someone said the Nether is creepy like a zombie movie. And then...everyone dies and became the walking dead. lol. Ritsu's power is one of my favorite's.

Hajiki was so cool :( why introduce a character with an interesting ability to kill him in a minute wow

Tamaki tried...Urgh but like another user said, I'm tired of seeing her just being a Tortured Girl and Lewded Girl ~_~

Definetly the best episode so far.... yet it was still kinda trashy, the unnecesary comedy all over the place, this cat bitch getting naked again 2 times and literally doing nothing again. A great character introduced and killed in 3 minutes, the Second is full of trash and useless people how the fuck they can't win even against normal infernals smh. The only good thing was the las moment, everything else was trash.

The comparison of maka's in soul eater with tamaki is the most stupid thing i ever heard.

I have done already explained this many times yet people still say this crap and i am so mentally tired writing this over and over again so this is the last time i write this you dumbshits.

Start comprehending what the plots establishes and stop asking stuff out of plot.

In soul eater maka's who is the lady you refer to she is trained to kill because that is her job while tamaki in fire force is a nun her job is to pray and she is not some kind of close combat fighter.

Do you understand what i am talking about or this is too difficult to get it?

Nuns in fire force are not supposed to be fighters their job is to pray for the infernal souls to be put into rest nothing more nothing else.
Tamaki while not doing much stuff and most of times she has been a burden sure. She is the only fire ability nun we have seen so far because the rest have not shown to have fire powers .

She had moments where she wasn't totally useless that unfortunately because those are not into your liking, you consider that they do not exist just because you refuse to accept their existence because they are minor things of not importance to you.

You do understand that she defend juggernaut while he was down and couldn't do anything right?

How that was not important? He would have been 100% certain dead if she wasn't there to defend his unconscious ass if those infernals had him.

Seriously what you feminist dudes wants from tamaki to start doing in order to consider that she does something? To start shoot nuclear bomb attacks from her ass and kill everyone with one attack?

Finalmente um episódio interessante, porem o mesmo problema de sempre, esse fan-service totalmente desnecessário tira toda a tenção do episódio e a Tamaki é muito inútil cara, não serve pra nada. Outra coisa, o clímax do episodio foi bom mais o Juggernaut morreu pra um personagem random que foi aparecer na metade deste episodio, enfim, merecia uma morte mais digna.

Damn all these Fire Force Squads got their Ass kicked pretty hard already, the weak perish, only the strong and lucky ones survive.... Go Viktor and Tamaki <3
Hajiki was starting strong but damn that decapitation came unexpected, and then the White Clad bitch tortures Tamaki... In the End she got what she deserved for it by getting Annihilated by the "Weapon of Destruction: Juggernaut" That Smile when he got embraced by the Explosion's flames though, Glorious Bastard

Didn't expect this show to get this dark with explicit death scenes like the decapitation or a Fire Soldier getting his chest ripped open. An extrem turn of events, interesting

shit just went 0-100 real fucking quick, we're seeing people drop like flies, then rise from the dead as well as another fucking evangelist death squad. Looks like the hot necromancer maid is gonna be pulling the strings in the Nether rn, she's turned it into a fucking horror house with a mix of walking human charred remainds, and actual fresh from the dead corpses, poor litcht. I guess from not cleaning out the bodies underground, it's really bitten them in the arse with an army of infernos to deal with. Also, she has her own personal death squad as well, that are also stacked? Damn i swear this anime just, hits different sometimes.

Damn, they are not joking with this part, just offed Hajike like that huh, dude seemed chill as fuck D: But a hidden Juggernaut development arc is a plus, didn't like his character to much at first, but i'll hand it to him here, fucking slam dunked that Purple Haze member. Just still confused on how his outfit works, so it's just lots of layers underneath?
