| Tamaki with mixed up feelings gets kissed and touched by her hero she couldn't complain. Evangilist couldn't they find a better name for the villain. Arthur is a lost sheep this time. |
| History is seriously tormented with the 1st, that's according to the 3 lieutenants POV, more with Rekka. Like look I understand HOW MUCH Tamaki is a pseudo-pervert attraction device, but having that fanservice is just uncalled for. Even in the manga I already find it weird, so this is just...yea... And further on, the real perpetrators finally show up, the "Evangelists". This doesn't look like a problem much for now, but it's clear seeing the scenarios now that the 1st and 8th are working together to get more info out of Rekka and the world of the 2nd Sun. Fight was good as it gets for the typical shounen. Resolve was...Tamaki joining the 8th...??? Arthur Excalibur was non-existent for the entire episode, which is good or bad depending on your tastes. The end content was cut between Chapter 31 and 32, I'd swear that if this content was relevant they will bring it back, otherwise it's pointless. |

Yautja said: WiselyKamelot said: Hum but what Stain was denouncing was not the manner of beings of the hero, it was their motivation. He was calling them out for their selfishness and basically the whole system that pushed people to become heroes for selfish reasons instead of heroic drive. Here in Fire force, there are many people like that, Hibana, or the rookie from the 5th (he said he was a firefighter for recognition). Shinra doesnt care about that. One of the main themes of the series is the power of self-delusion. Basically the point is that if Shinra believes he will be a hero and doesnt give up on, he will eventually embody his ideals and become an genuive one. You're use of the word "fantasy" is just on point, it's precisely the point. It's all about motivations and beliefs that serve as drive for your lifestyle. Interestingly enough Shinra is aware that he is not a hero yet, which reinforces that he does have heroic standards but hasnt reached them yet. Arthur is tied with this theme as well but you'll see later. And of every hero he's met, he's only respect two. Somehow I doubt such a generic character as Shinra would be the third. But that's precisely because Izuku is a generic hero (selfless, brave when needed, ) that Stain respects him... he also approved of Todoroki just because he went and saved Midoriya with no other motivatiln than saving. Is Shinra selfless and brave as well?... I would think so... wouldnt you? |
| What an episode! And i've seen already here some great print screens xD I feel really bad for Tamaki, but better that it happened now before it was too late. This whole episode feels like a masterpiece in terms of artwork and fighting scenes, everything was so spectacular (besides the random ecchi scene were Shinra landed on...you know), and Tamaki was so cutueeeee! I'm so glad she's a part of the team now xD  Badass!  Shipping incoming xD   And what the hell happened with Arthur? |

Horn_dawg_2019 said: LOL yeah. The anime made her look like some...prisoner? Like ripped up clothing. She looks like something from a weird ass hentai which is more sexual than what the manga looks like (based on your photo)<IMG> Man, what kind of Tamaki fanservice this was. <IMG> In the manga Tamaki's fansrivice was way better. |
Finally got around to making a gif of Tamaki from last episode, plus the beginning of this one... |
| The best part about the episode was the fact that Arthur ended up in Mars. |
| People crying every week about Tamaki's fanservice may as well just drop it now. |
| I'm ok with fanservice but jesus christ they put this at the most random of moments that can ruins the episode. Fuck Tamaki and no i'll not drop it just because of that. There's still some good enough things in this anime to make me still watch it. |
 |
| I'm intrigued at the new ideology that's being presented. This anime does seem to be primarily a psychoanalysis, which is refreshing. Excited for the next episode, this series is growing on me. |

| At first I thought this series was gonna go a bit off, last episode and this episode changed my opinion and I can't wait to see more! The fight in my opinion was really good, the fanservice was a bit annoying and a disruption to the fight. But I found it cool to finally see how Tamaki has joined Special Fire Force Company 8 (considering she seemed important in the OP) and I really want to know if where Arthur is is a joke or legit because he is just in the middle of nowhere lmao |

Gourmetforce said: You forgot that he want's to be a symbol of hope against the flames because h literally said he wants to solve the mystery of the flames and make sure something like this won't happen again so it's not like he is fighting selfish for his bro and mom but he wants to find what's going on and make sure things that happened to him will never happen to anyone. How can you guys forget about this? It's not like this was an unimportant part of his hero ideals i would say it was a quite important part you forgot to mention here and mostly the part with the most weight from his mission. I never understand why people think that his hero ideals are lackluster is midorya better in terms of ideals than shinra? I agree with you. While Deku is one of my favourite shonen protagonists and I don't really like Shinra, I think his convictions and ideals of what a hero is are way more righteous than Deku's initial motivations to become a hero. If only the show developed Shinra's character a bit more, and stopped making him invent those weird hero names like "The-Guy-Who-Will-Stop-You Man". Its getting kind of annoying. |
| LOL! Where the hell did Arthur end up!?!?! I don't read manga but i've seen snippets and the fan service is also in the fights.... so if you hate fan service then this anime is not for you.... there's the door you whiny lil shits. Every single forum is full of you baddies! |

Anime-is-King said: if you hate fan service then this anime is not for you.... there's the door you whiny lil shits. Every single forum is full of you baddies! Fanservice does not make a show inherently bad, if it did no one would watch ecchi. Hell, I'll argue that fanservice during a fight scene doesn't have to hurt the tone of the fight and can even add to it. (Kill La Kill is just one example of this) This show's problem is that it uses comedic fanservice during an intense and emotional fight and it ruins the tone and takes you out of the moment just for a cheap gag. I can understand that some people might be okay with this but for me at least, the second you stop respecting the tone of a scene just to try getting peoples dicks hard is when I lose all hope that a show is going to be any good. |

| I'm not sure if this is some sort of an advanced trolling, nonetheless the score and positive reactions are almost as hilarious as the show itself. This might as well be the worst shit I've seen since Ousama Game. |
Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |

I was totally snapped out of the fight and it disrupted the tone too much for me |

| Shinra vs Arthur was alright. I really like how Shinra made use of the environment to his advantage her. Where did Arthur go though? |

If you disagree with the complaints about fan service (the complaints are generally not about the fan service per se, but about how poorly it is used and it's disruptive effect on fight scenes) that's fine. It'd be refreshing though if you could explain your own view or atleast give something more to the debate than "if you dont like fanservice GTFO". |

Every single forum is full of you baddies! Or even an anime with a fair amount of fanservice but at least it's not thrown in serious scenes for comedic relief. There are so many shows worth a 8/10 or higher that have more fanservice than Fire Force but don't pace it poorly like this show.

| I really hate fanservice girl... and now she's a part of the regular cast... great. |
| a really badass fight, I thought Shinra was gonna do Rock Lee's primary lotus there. His moves are kinda the same as Rock Lee |
| Shinra and Rekka started to fight, during it Rekka explained him that Shinra has a pure flame (Adolla Burst), something that he and the Evangelist were looking for, finally Shinra surpassed him, so Rekka was igniting a self-consumption ability, but Karim freezed him completely, Foein arrived too. Suddenly, a fire arrow murdered Rekka, two people dressed in white are attacking them, another arrow targeted Karim, but Foei lost his arm saving him, Shinra produced smoke to get lost and a combination between Tamaki and Karim abilities pointed the enemy position, they withdrew. Shinra returned to his force, Arthur is missing, and Tamaki temporary joined 8th company. That fan service is unnecessary, unfortunately, it comes from the manga. Animation had it flows this episode, Tamaki memories and some scenes were just under standard. The fight between Shinra and Rekka was ok, someone could think that Rekka’s experience could take him much farther, but ok, maybe Shinra is especial. The reaction to the attack was cool. So, Arthur is not lost. Not Rekka, but Evangelist could be the one behing Shinra and Iris fire. |

| Lol, cool fight and all, but Tamaki's fanservice are the highlight for me, and don't forget Arthur's stupidity, he actually got lost, wtf. |

| Congratulations, you just went from 7/10 to 5/10 for the most cringy forced fanservice I have ever witnessed |
| A lot of intel was dropped on us in this episode. I wonder if the Joker IS the Evangelist, or is he just one of their commanders. Speaking of them, those two snipers gave off some strong Templar (From the Assassin's Creed franchise) vibes, them and this obscure entity Sol that both sides seem to be worshiping is going to be a mind-boggling twist I can tell. The opening song kind of gave off Maki as being a part of the 8'th. Speaking of her, I just hate that, I really do, when there is a decent build-up, the scenario at hand is on the serious side, full of risk and then the common Ecchi trope kicks in like dude, can you not? I stopped being funny a long time ago, we get it, but if you're distracting that kind of moment by pulling off the same bad joke, you're kind of shitting on weak and dazzling writing that could have been miles better. For that, I dislike her as a character. But I guess she's a welcomed addition to the harem. I'm very curious about the last shot of the episode with Arthur walking down a foggy desert, it's either some rushed up twist or a set up for the next arc, also, I'm half expecting Shinra's brother to be with this Evangelistic side. |
| A oddly placed fanservice scene in a fight? 🤦♂️ The annoying bad fanservice is ruining the show. It needs to stop. The fight was pretty good despite that the fanservice in the middle ruined the mood. Rekka died? Well, the only interesting character introduced in this arc who might have helped to develop Tamaki in future arcs is dead! What a bad decision the author made. |

| A superb turn of events for Rekka. And he certainly got rekked. Shinra came in clutch and whooped Rekka's ass. Saving Tamaki and the children along the way. That Tamaki fan-service through me off but I like it. She looks like a snack. |
 |
| I Like the world they're building and the characters but is fanservice right in the middle of a big fight really necessary? Fanservice is ok just not in the middle of an important fight scene. I also hope the entire show is not just Shinra beating up all the bad guys. I already had a hard time accepting him beating princess Hibana a captain and now this too? I thought Rekka was supposed to be a powerful lieutenant? |
| Tamaki, more like fan servicce |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| A good fight, great tension and then... fanservice and comedic relief... and then even more fanservice... The direction still sucks a lot but at least the pacing of the story has picked up. Btw the design of the evangelists was badass - some sort of Buddhist monk x Crusader crossover. |
