Joker is still full of mysteries.

We got more of Shirna's squad this episode though and seems they're building up more into the next parts of the story. Even Maki got into training and she seems to be focused on improving herself more. And welcome back Lisa...it's been awhile.

Lots of explaining in this episode after the action packed last week. Sorry to disappoint folks whom may have wanted a fight between Burns, Joker and Benimaru. Cant have those three brutes brawling now can we. They'd destroy a city block in the first round. Hahaha, anyways, Burns did at least help out dark heroes out somewhat. Giving them that notebook that holds some valuable information. The Holy Sol Temple is ignorant of its own past. The current operators there have no idea the original Raffles was turned into a fake by the White Clad. That short scene with Yona and Inca showing us if was him all those years ago just like he did in Asakusa back in season one.

Also learning what the connection between Burns and Joker is. With them both being transported to Adolla itself and each losing an eye like we know them these days. Joker now setting his sights on Hajime Industries who have the real connection to the White Clad and Evangelist. Some sort of goofing off back at Company 8 while everyone learns about Beni and Joker adventure. We got a big sec coming up next!! This one will be amazing to see. Some loose ends are coming back around here at Hajime with Hataku from Season One being kept there and Licht about to be offed after he brings in Shinra whom himself has some interesting connections to Hajime!

I was expecting a three-way fight between Joker, Burns and Benimaru though that situation didn't arise.
The focus would be on Haijima next episode and looks like a new character will be introduced

Same. Too bad it didn't happen.

I was expecting a new OP after seeing it on twitter. Guess we'll get it soon.

So Joker and Burns were comrades at one point This time the 8th will investigate Haijima.

David production with another 10/10 episode. I just want this studio to miss once.

This episode once again showing why FF is peak fiction. The Adolla segment with Burns and Joker was extremely well done. Loved the special effects they went with for the flames and environment of Adolla.

Second cour is going to be amazing. Haijima arc and a new OP, lets gooo

I'm actually getting hard from the intenseness of seeing three big guys talking to each other with at least two of them have sexual experience with a man. It's like they're fighting like in the OP song but symbolically, not practically.

Second part, my heart breaks when I see Vulcan's eyes looking for Lisa, you can easily tell from his eyes, it's very clear that he loves her, and that's why my heart breaks.

Charon appearance, despite being brief, make this episode instantly even better!

Fire Force is now the anime I look forward to the most in every week! Though I thought this episode which mark passing half of the season will feature new opening song, so the next OP will feature in only 11 episodes.

Oh! By the way I think Haijima = Mitsubishi in real life. While it's not the biggest company in Japan, that belong to Toyota, and Toyota is based in city of the same name. Mitsubishi is based in Tokyo. And Toyoto is specialized in automotive while Mitsubishi is conglomerate, which is closer to what Haijima is. Mitsubishi also has its own nuclear power plant business.

Though one change I think is unnecessary is that Shinra touching Lisa face, in the manga it's her boobs. But to be fair they also turn down the violence element, not just sexual element (like the beheaded shadow that rape Joker, in manga it's very graphical that his head was cut off).

More of the hidden lore of Fire Force, super interested to see what's going to happen!

Thought we would see a three way fight, but the book in itself is also satisfying. Kinda thought Burns and Joker were brothers or something, but the Adolla link explains their old relationship.

She was a girl living with Vulcan in his workshop in the first season. She was in truth an spy of the Evangelist sent by Giovanni (dude with the plague doctor mask) to discover information about the key of Amaterasu Vulcan supposedly had.

She ended leaving the Evangelist side in the Netherworld arc of the first season thanks to the efforts of Obi and Vulcan, though she still has a trauma with Giovanni mistreating and/or leaving her alone, which explains why she got PTSD when she started to talk about the White Clads this episode. She had longer hair in the first season, but got cut off during the fight against Giovanni in the Nether, reason why you probably didn't recognize her.

Hope this has been of help.

Oh hell no! They best not touch a frizzy hair on Licht's head!

I'm so relieved that Burns didn't turn out to be a traitor, but the info he provided to BeniJ was frustrating; the Holy Sol Temple isn't the bad guy... it's Haijima which is 10 x worse!

I was surprised that it was so casually confirmed that Yona was the one who stole Raffles I's identity... but I don't get how cause that happened 250 years ago... or have I misunderstood something?

Lmao, Burns was ready to throw down with Joker. And then a wild Benimaru appeared and Burns turned all diplomatic and shit.

The art and animation though when Burns and Joker was transferred to that adolla dimension was beautiful though.

Damn, how old is Yona no, wrong question. What the hell is Yona. They've been playing society like a damn fiddle all these times.

Fuck yeah Lisa is back and she's joining the 8th, hopefully permanently.

We've been bamboozled! Where is my big fight? lol. Either way this was a great episode with lots of new info. I didn't expect Yona to be so important.

Burns chickening out on Benimaru was hilarious.

Inca with that outfit... DAMN!

Glad Lisa's back and damn, she's as hot as ever. Shinra mistaking her for one of Vulcan's creations was pretty funny, but then Iris also wanting to press her "buttons" was just hilarious xD.

Thank you for that ablution part again, much appreciated <3

More revelations about the history of Holy Sol Temple. Its all because of Evangelist follower? Damn, its such a good information, more over, its kinda twisted. So, thats right, eh? Everything just came back again to the real villain for this series, its Evangelist and every followers of it. I feel a bit of an anticlimactic end by seeing how Burns just acted so tough against Joker. But when Beni slowly decided to join their fights, he immediately regret his decision. Lmao. The hell man? Benimaru just way too strong, man. So he just want a peace and gave the information we all need. XD

Slowly every puzzle around the past 250 years mystery revealed. They even added a clearance there to state how the real enemy was, which is created a big relieved for me. Lol. So, yeah, thats it. End of the first cour by resolving the problems around the capitol city of empire, Tokyo. Yeah, the ancestor, Rafles I, was not him, knewing the fact that Rafles I was not the real him, its Yona. Holy Sol Temple was just a pawn, and Haijima industries were their next target to be investigated.

Slowly but sure, this typical shounen show somehow always keep entertaining every week. They even did not forget a little fanservices there, which is so funny to see. Its so long to seeing my duo nun in wet conditions like that. Lol. Then, Joker revelations of his past, just the best arc among this first cour of second season. Even, i must be honest that these 3 past episodes were the best among the others.

So, yeah, lets see the second cour then. How well they wrapped up the story on their next investigation!

Okay I was expecting an overwhelming fight between Burns and Joker with some Shinmon support yet I was hilariously deceived
In return we got some major background information about the Adolla-burst while Joker and Burns both got their eye mysteriously burned
Interesting to learn that humanity might have been manipulated from the start, who might Raffles 1 culprit actually be

it seems we get a interesting follow-up with the Hajime Industries investigation and everyone who is suspicious of them
personally very interested in Viktor's story

The Lisa creation was hilarious, especially sister Iris. Ecchi Sketchy No Touchy!
And I definitely would ship Vulcan x Lisa

Ah the link between Burns & Jojer (as expected with the opening, though I believed they were old enemies) was revealed and made things even deeper. Now we learnt the Holy Sol is based on a lie and they ignore the big-idea.

Some of the secrets have been revealed. Now i wonder if Viktor will betray Shinra, but judging from that ending he will lead Shinra to a strong enemy... And for sure it will be Shinra who will have to save Viktor later on.

Gotta be tough for Iris now, the god that they believe was totally made up...

So Burns is also investigating the holy sol temple, what a team xD Burns, Shinmon, and Joker.

Glad that Lisa is back, a great addition to the 8th!
