| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Okay, that was a lot to take in this episode. Mood swings from Shinra and Captain Hague in particular was quite wild, to say the least. Particularly curious about the perpetrator behind this, though. Arthur in full serious mode is no easy pushover, gee. A heartbreaking backstory to boot but the whole transition from the fight to the backstory along with the occasional comedy just felt like a little too much going on. Action scenes were as crisp as ever, and a true delight to watch. David Productions at it again with their A-game! |

| Episode 2 has premiered early during Funimation's digital convention, FunimationCon. Another great episode. Animation was superb and I like how I felt the friendship between Shinra and Arthur despite them fighting. Shinra absolutely just embarrassing the clowns that made fun of him. The captain of Company 4 was a little weird to say the least, but he seems to know quite a bit. Arthur really showed up this episode, it was nice to see a bit of his past, but I thought it where it was shown was a little odd. It was unfortunate that his parents just up and left him when they seemed so nice. Maybe there's something more to this? Shinra was corrupted by someone who was called "the First Pillar". Now another Pillar is going to be born? Things are getting dicey. |
| The dub voice actually sounds alright. Personally, I kinda liked Arthur's role. Wish they showed even more of his flashbacks besides just about the king part and his parents. Either way, it seems they're really getting into the action for this season. Glad to see this season having a solid animation quality production so far. |
 |
| The heck, it was streamed on Funimation first. Sad that our country don't have an access on this. Guess I'll just wait for ******* |

| Wait what? where did you all see the second episode?!?!? |
| Seeing Arthur's past, at least it is a little clear why Arthur pretended to be a knight. |
 |
| Fire force easily the best new gen series. Every episode is just top notch man, animation, art, sound design. Great episode, got some good action, Arthur backstory and introduction of a new adversary. Loved that Arthur and Shinra fight. Only gonna get better from here |
 |
| Who's this First Pillar and what happened to Arthur's parents... |
| Great episode. Arthur is OP when he gets serious. The captain of the 4th is a weird guy. Quite the masochist. Funny how Arthur used him as a shield. Things should get more interesting. |
 |
| David Pro. is doing some heavy lifting. 3/5 |

| This episode was hilarious! Arthur using the old man as a shield lmao. |
 |
| Yohohoho, eccentric badass-geezer voiced by Yuuichi Nagashima, what a perfect fit. Hague seems like a cool and interesting character. Really nice episode, action was on point. And who else thinks the ending song sounds awfully similar to the one of Kekkai Sensen? :D |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| While a meeting with the 4th company will be useful its also somewhat risky as well. Still visiting the academy again sure is nostalgic. Its nice to see Lt Asako again though. The meeting with the captain while weird sure acted as the perfect stage for the crisis that followed. The fight though sure was fun thanks to the captain's desires and the intervention of Arthur and Ogun. The RPG angle sure was amusing though. The insight into Arthur's childhood and family situation sure was insightful. Overall an excellent ep that did well in expanding upon the lore via the intro of the captain of the 4th while also showcasing the power of the first pillar. Looks like the pillars have become the main goals in the war between the Fire force and the Whiteclad. |

| It was really nice getting to see the friendship between Arthur and Shinra. We also got to see what happened in Arthur's past and it explains a lot about his personality. It was interesting seeing more about the adolla link. I'm exciting for the next episode. It seems we'll meet a pretty important character. |
| WTF... WTF (not) Sister?! She looks great with long hair though. Dear God, that Captain is a total freak. I lost it when he was used by Arthur as a human shield... "Shield of Masochism" lmao. And then they showed us how Arthur was abandoned by his parents... damn. Now we know where their delusions come from. Awesome fight and awesome episode as always. The new girl from the next episode looks like Akane, nice. |
| Good episode, I liked it. We got some nice fighting aswell as finally getting some backstory for Arthur. It was also interesting to see more of adolla link. |
 |
Arthur with the power of false belief or delusion  |
| Okay I was kinda living for Arthur's backstory this episode. I used to think he was an obnoxious cringy child, but now I've realized he's an obnoxious cringy child for a reason. The masochistic captain was weird. He made me uncomfortable. Shinra's outburst was understandable given the moral dilemma he was facing, though it felt forced. He will most likely return to the status quo next episode. Who was the demon girl on his shoulder? And why was she naked???? There were some really cool storyboards in this episode. Great special effects. Still, the awkward pauses/bland background art weighed it down. |
 |
| Good episode, altought maybe with lot to take in 20 minutes |
| Arthur's power up is such an asspull and a result of lazy writing. And of course, Shinra just snaps into and out of his demon mode like that. |
| Pretty good episode! Arthur's background explains a lot about the delusional person he is, but he rocked this episode! Put up a good fight against the possessed Shinra! The 4th captain is absolutely crazy though!! So a new Pillar will be born and now it's to see who will find that person first, the fire force or the evangelist! Pink girl in preview looks cute AF though! |
 |
| It was a really interesting episode for Arthur, it's good that they develop more this character. |
 |
| Well, I think this episode was pretty bad. It wasn't exciting at all and I didn't like the “concept” in general. By the way, what the bloody hell did Arthur’s parents do? What a mean thing, I felt really sad. |
 |
| Good episode, Shinra's demon form & behaviour was a change. Also this is always great to discover another company, with its internal hierarchy and specificities |
 |
| Once again a fantastic episode for animation and fight scenes There were some hilarious parts as well, especially with the 4th division commander involved |
| That was a very nice episode also Arthur backstory was pretty interesting 5/5 |

| Well, this was an interesting episode. Captain Hague was ummm...a bit too much for me imo. Seeing Shinra being possessed by that woman and fighting Arthur was interesting and cool. Arthur's backstory was quite sad. |

| An action packed episode and it’s only two episodes in I can’t wait for the rest of the season. |
 |
| Disappointed Shinra possessed by an anger spirit isn't able to easily take down Arthur and that 4th captain didn't come to rescue. |
| I loved how Arthur used the old man as a masochistic shield. Arthur is definitely the funniest character in this series. I feel a little bad with how his parents ran away tho... |
 |
| Poor arthur the most amusingly sad flashback |
 |
| Good episode, I wonder how or why Arthur's parents disappeared though. I'm guessing they combusted? From what I've seen from them they seem like parent's who wouldn't just leave their child like that without a reason so I'm guessing they combusted. |
 |
| hell yeh, Arthur having to do the good old "kick the shit outta your friend till he's sane" trick. One of the reasons i love their friendship so much, also really interesting to see some of Shinra's old classmates and friends from the academy, hope we see more of them later. "Masochist Shield" bro i fucking spat my coffee out when Arthur just GRABS the old man and uses him to fucking block a full attack to the face then continuing to fucking HUCK HIM at Shinra in a form of "Masochist Shield bash" god i love arthur, but that flashback to his past was fucking sad bro :( what horrid parent's just left my guy at such a young age. Things are actually heating up, hot blonde that i think everyone and Shinra himself thought was sister Iris, knows something they don't and is maybe part of something bigger. |
 "yabe." |
| Gawd - the First Pillar is just so HOT! If she wanted to seduce Shinra instead of possessing him she would have him under her mad thumb in no time... |
Shinra assumed her as Sister even First Pillar VA is same as Sister Just saying it is indeed a connection. |
 |
| Its a dumb episode. The fight is nice than the previous. The tropes are here, the comedy too. Latom/5 |
 |
| Shield of Masochism. |
