This was a great episode. Sad that Tamaki finally saw what that guy was actually like. Poor kids...I hope Shinra can save them.

This was a really intense episode. The best yet though - I think that this embodies the true persona of Fire Force, and I'm loving it

Yup, Rekka finally shows his true colors but what of it, that girl should've used her powers to stop him from infernalizing those people.

I literally hate Tamaki. Her only purpose is to be a useless fanservice damsel in distress. But that last scene of her was pretty.

So was that kid actually turned into an artificial 3rd-generation fire user?!

I'm seeing a lot of parallels with Blue Exorcist. A "host for the pilot light"? Sounds very similar to Satan and his need for a host in that series (among other manga spoilers for what Satan even is)

What was a nicely animated scene lost all it's weight for me since Tamaki is apparently as useful as a sock full of soup. She literally did nothing by cry the entire time, what's she even in the fire force for? The tension? Nonexistent since we knew she was going to be saved at the last second by the hero.

That antagonist crazily and confusingly went from 0-90 in about four seconds. Still vomiting from that ride.

He's all of a sudden evil! Oh so evil! No leadup, no clues, just pure evil in a few parsecs. Holy crap.

Star boy was suddenly beating the crap out of someone's waifu and then they put loads of money into animating her crying scene. That was vicious and weird, and then flame boy hand of God's the waifu out of trouble.

That all happened WAY too fast lol. Also of course MC is overpowered and swoops in like Superman. It was nice to see but crushing the guy's skull with his foot? Scary.

Shinra's entrance at the end and curb stomp to the face of Rekka was epic. Probably my favorite episode thus far. So much happened, and it didn't let up from start to finish.

Lulz at Arthur's reaction to Shinra when breaking into Karim's room. Can't wait to watch the next ep. Looks like after a previous slow ep, things are starting to pick up.

That crying scene sold the episode for me. Along with the landing of Shinra. This Anime spills a lot of bullshit, relies on so many distracting over-saturated ecchi tropes, cheap use of abusive assertive and forced humor, but it knows how to save itself, although, so much of that can be hurtful to the show.

That fanservice scene between Tamaki, Shinra and Arthur was forced lmao.

Wait! Is this arc rushed or is the same in the manga? I feel the mystery was uncovered too quickly and the discovery was just a plot coincidence. Maybe it would've had a better impact if they spent more time there?

The only guy I liked from the 1st is a bad guy, noooo.

Maybe if they'd established more of a relationship between these characters, I'd be more empathetic towards her "WHAAA? The maniacally cheerful guy who brought a bunch of children to a creepy abandoned building with blatantly impossible and bizarre promises is actually a bad guy??? The shock!" thing. As it stands, her story seems less sad, and more stupid. The damsel in distress bit piled onto a characterization that already consisted primarily of "absurd fanservice girl" doesn't help much.

This episode pretty much solidified why Tamaki is best girl. I mean she won me over because she has twintails, which is an instant win. Don't @ me. It's just a shame she's deligated to being a gag/fanservice character.

That face she makes at the end is just gold. It can surely melt away a frozen heart.

I'm speechless, that ep was so wack (in more ways than one).

Poor Tamaki. I felt for her, but what happened to your skills girl? You should've cat scratched his eyes or boiled them suckers - something.

Shinra saves the day; my boy served up a huge plate of indigestion. I like his style; and the grin was too die for.

Poor lads. They confirmed what seemingly everyone concerned with the matter already knew .My brain is struggling with the whole fact that they use insects for the transformation. Japan has taught me that especially - even in fiction - insects struggle with fire.

But what a cool ending that was! Also more assassin Arthur please.

David production had a guts to hurried-off everything important with the infernal insects matter as fast as possible. A bit shame. But i guessed, its just an Introduction for the whole big fishes that might appeared as the real reason behind the combustion of human flames. With all of that, i felt okay with this episode.

The pacing of the whole sceneries looked so terrible for me. Like i said before, Rekka as the real culprit revelations was indeed too fast to be resolved by adding that clear clued on the alley, as a flash way to continued through the arc long-span. Also, Tamaki's sad face and her harrashment served as the real implification how wrong the whole episode were. Poor her. She doesn't deserved that shit. But again, its understandable. Since she must appeared much in the future like what i received the hint as the opening sequences. I guess, from now on, her attachment for Shinra must be bigger than before. Maybe like Princess of 5th acted, maybe a bit tsundere? Lol. Lets see....

From now, the first division might actually team up a bit with 8th division after these incident. Considering Rekka was not alone recreating the human flames, a big fish was not catch at all, just like the iceberg effect allegory.
10/10 knowing how intrigueing the story had a long journey.
4/10 for bad decision over the pacing. Thats it.

Oh shit that was dark. That Rekka guy was just too obvious to be the actual culprit so all the time I was just frowning thinking it can't be him until he really set that poor woman aflame. Her kid will now grow up motherless, damn. Good thing they didn't pull any stupid jokes during that scene otherwise it would've ruined it. I guess Rekka's stupid dialogues can be considered as bad comedy though.

What a weird motherfucker. Is it just me or are the characters inspired by Gurren Lagann? Hibana's eyes are literally Nia's and this weird motherfucker looks like Simon trying to be Kamina but fails miserably.

Now that I'm paying attention to the directing, it really is abysmal. Angles, music (or lack thereof) pacing, and dialogue felt so awkward. Adding that quirky yet out of place backdrop for some reactions, I just can't get behind it.

Tamaki felt so forced in this episode. Like that guy, she tries to be Yuuki "Lucky Bastard" Rito and fails miserably as well. Her fanservice is distasteful and unreal. What's more, she had to play along with this guy and gets absolutely wrecked. She doesn't deserve this.

The only thing I liked about this episode is that kick and Tamaki crying for showing real emotions.

Tamaki tears T_T she sounded so different too beeing sad, but she is so cute when she is crying too.
Damn Rekka is fucked up, poor Tamaki found out about the true face of her Lieutenant.

Shinra mastered yet another Hero ability last second saving Tamaki with a Dynamic Entry.
and he floored Rekka with the stomp in the face too, i expect that he would have been a nasty opponent, who he couldn't beat without the help of the other Lieutenant Karim, if that surprise Attack didn't finish him off.
Shinra looked a lot like a fallen Angel descending from heaven with the fiery "Wings" behind him, his shaded face with only his red eyes glowing and his Special Grin shining, living up to his infamous nickname "Devil"

Ah so Rekka is the sole culprit. I was expecting all three Lt. are in it together. I wonder who his boss is though, is it gonna be Captain Burns as expected? Interesting.

Oh damn it was Rekka after all. I mean the scene in the alley pretty much confirmed it, it's never the dude who behaves like an asshole haha. Poor Tamaki though, I wonder if she could've challenged him if he did not sneak-attack her?

The fact that some sort of bugs are capable of transforming people into infernals was interesting but on the other hand, wow the investigation felt incredibly rushed.

Rekka turns out to be the culprit, or at least, he's one of the many puppet members of this so-called Evangelist organization. Looks can be deceiving and Rekka is a fine example of that. Out of the 3 1st division lieutenant, he is the most cheerful-looking dude, but welp, not so nice after all seeing that he so eagerly beat up the manipulated Tamaki and willingly harms the innocent children, civilians.

Worry not for the hero is here, coming straight from the sky as he plants his feet of fire down the fool's face.

Fuck this crazy douchebag of a bastard Rekka, just beat the living hell out of him. This series do seem a bit better when it's all about mysteries, so hoping it's not just a one episode thing.

Also again fuck you Rekka.

Based on some posts I've read, a lot of people are upset by the anime after being a manga reader. I haven't read this manga and I'm not sure I plan to, but so far I'm enjoying this series. 

It was so depressing to see these kids taken into this situation though. When Tamaki was asking them I felt suspicious about it and it definitely was horrible...
