Wow, best episode yet. Fire Force has been a blunder and hasn’t lived up to the hype at all. This episode was the closest thing to its ceiling. Finally an episode with a great tone throughout the whole 20+ minutes, including its great animation, music, and lighting. More episodes like this!

Pretty darn cool action sequences for the episode! Sho vs. Joker was a treat to witness. Looks like Joker belongs to a third party after all, that was quite evident from earlier though.

Shinra’s got a long way if he is to ‘save’ his brother. Sho unfazed by the sudden revelation was quite something though, I wonder what the Evangelist has done/ is doing to him.

Sister messing with those buttons was hilarious to watch! Solid Hibana moments too, how’d she get knocked out over a toy though lmfao.

Vulcan finally in, meanwhile, and what a sweet and warm welcome that is, way to go Team 8. It’s a pity that Lisa decided against joining Vulcan and co but at least we know that she wants to deep down in her heart. I’ve a bad feeling about her though, here’s to hoping they won’t kill her off.

No lucky lercher, surprisingly. I was expecting that final scene to feature that lol. Damn, the new banner though.

This episode physically hurt me! Shinra was so happy and excited to be reunited with Shou and then... 😭

And then there's Vulcan; his whole life has just crumbled and he has to break the one promise he made to his dad and granddad (although i'm sure he's gonna soon see that joining the 8th is in no way a bad thing!)

BUT on the other hand, Shinra's hero entrance was the best yet! I think i might have fallen in love with him a little bit this episode...

Lol, Shinra expected for Arthur's wound to be deeper. Though, on a more serious note, it looks like Shinra was able to see his long lost brother, Sho, as fate wanted it, they are enemies. Sho is extremely powerful though.

Awesome fight in this episode and Shinra entrance in workshop was really amusing!

Shinra almost defeated Giovanni, but Sho reveled himself and fought against Shinra, Sho have an really strong power, damn, he is a monster, Shinra reaction was awesome!

I am glad after that, Vulcan is officially a member of 8th

Pos ending was really funny, what did you have dont to that cross Vulcan xD

Sho and Joker are both pretty insane. I love the combat style in this anime.

The pacing is so fast, I love the black humour and gothic elements of this.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

giovanni is one of the most incompetent villains ever. why did he leave shinra alone in the forest? he should have ensured he was picked up by his henchmen before he went back to the junkyard. once again slapstick comedy routines foil his plans at the junkyard when the latom girl presses a bunch of buttons causing toys to fall from the ceiling. is this stuff supposed to be funny? the constant back and forth of serious moments and juvenile jokes is jarring.

HOT DAMN Shinra is here! Making his entrance as an Adolla Burst fanatic of revenge, with Princess Hibana to the rescue.

But with the appearance of Sho, it was truly the moment of good and evil, with Shinra knowing that he saw his brother, but blindsided by the fact that he is on the side of the Evangelists. And the Joker appearance was a cinch in a moment, even though his neutrality will not hold on for long, with thanks to his sidekick spy, mad scientist Inspector Licht for saving them at a critical moment.

All is at a standpoint where Vulcan is brought back to Company 8 for refuge. The home feels of Company 8 are back after a long time going around to different Companies to reveal their true motives. But for Vulcan, it is a hardover process of renewal that was once the tradition, and breaking it to progress forward, as is with the family traits.

With that, the Vulcan arc is for the most part done.

Some cool animation, especially in Sho's abilities, that was some insane second-splitting swordplay. But it was frightening at the same time as with no one trusting anymore at this point. Just hopes that this series is more structured enough for enjoyment.

I differ at least he won against shinra there are villains who cannot even perform
a temporary winning like some fairy tail villains or even worst the majority of the 7ds villains like if you read the 7ds manga you are familiar how useless are all it's villains to the point a freaking rock has better feats to kill a character than every villain in an entire story now.

just because other, unrelated manga have dumber villains doesn't excuse anything, that's entirely irrelevant. yes, giovanni is stronger than shinra (except when he's not and gets punched in the face and thrown across the room), but he might as well be useless if he can't even secure a single hostage.

Shinra finally knows Sho's wereabouts and that he is alive! His appearence is very shocking cuz his power is too much for Shinra to handle. How will Shinra defeat his brother's enormous power? It looks almost impossible. It would be a big challenge!

Iris is having a heart-attack XD but I must agree with her and I think the skull shouldn't be there in my opinion... It looks awful and intimidating. Doesn't give a good impression and it gives more of a negative energy ^^;

Glad we finally met Sho, and was awesome to see Joker back.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the scruffy hair shady new guy (can't remember his name yet, the one Hibana threatened) isn't an evangelist as suggested but rather working with Joker :P

I knew Sho must have been strong but this is on another level, the dude looks like he can take a shower, enjoy a couple of tea and take a nap before his opponents begin to even realize what's becoming of them. I was not expecting Joker to make an appearance, let alone defending Shinra and friends, I thought for the longest time he was involved with the Evangelist.
I'm liking these little snippets at the beginning if each episode where we get a glimpse of the foundation of this fire reliant nation.

Finally got to see the interaction between Sho and Shinra, even if it was brief. Hope there's more in the other episodes. I would really like to get to know Joker more ~ hopefully we do. Plus, I really want to see Giovannie's (however you spell his name) face. Overall, this episode was quite good.

this was a damn good episode this time around, Princess Hibana coming in big time with her love for Shinra fueling her.

Shinra capping Dr Missed-The-Times in the beak put a mighty big smile on my face!

Bro Sho is something else, hyped to see more character development on him and what his power is

I also completely take back what i said about the scientist and joker. Seems like they have there own motives and i can't hate them since they saved everyone's lives. Joker especially, my ratings for him just launched upwards with his fight with sho ,was bloody amazing! Def want to see his character more

It looks like he can slow down time.
THat could prove troublesome to the Fire Force company.

That Joker vs Sho fight was very unexpected. I wonder what side Joker is on.


And Vulcan low-key looks like a character from Demon Slayer. He looks very similar to

So, the Raffles thing is gonna be a mini-background. Hibana helped Shinra and did whatever she wanted with Arthur, I didn’t understand why she appeared there. Shinra didn’t touch Giovanni the last time, but now he decided to withdraw, Sho also appeared, super overpowered, he beat them down, fortunately Joker appeared and gave them a chance to escape. Poor Lisa, they left her there, who knows what happened to her. Ok episode. Shinra looks like an adult without shirt, animation went up this episode.

The whole mini-arc regarding Volcan was really good. No unnecessary fan service, nice bits of comedy, lot's of fighting and the story was progressed quite a bit.

The fire force and the evangelists really are just different sides of the same coin and the real third party is Joker or whatever he is part of. Sho is adorable and an absolute badass and Giovanni is not too bad either. He hinted that his clothes were restraining him, so I am quite excited to see him with his full capabilities.

Glad to see divison 8 is now complete!

A bit dissapointed with the boring battle. Even Shinra couldn't do anything there to fight his brother and crazy doctor. Fortunately, the plot armour came to rescue them out of bad luck. Yeah, thats a joker and his crazy scientist partner. Their intentions still unknown, its very shamed with the way of the storyline intacted. I guess, the quest still succeeded, knowing Vulcan finally joined the 8th division. A bit progression was indeed the only strongest point to this episode. Ofc, with the help of the plot armour, everything gonna be so easy. Lol.

What else next?

So what happens to company 3 now? I have a bad feeling that that dr Giovanni would get away with it cause there's no solid proof or some shit. Also, why is Sho op af? It's kinda annoying. And look, I knew it. I knew Joker is not really with those cultists.

Hibana contemplating taking Shinra with her while he is tied up lol
Sho appears and fucks up everyone with his power that is on a completely different level, then the "Hero" Joker appears renders Sho's ̵Z̵a̵ ̵W̵a̵r̵u̵d̵o̵ ability useless cause he is on a completely different level too and fucks up Sho his Sword and his whole career aswell with a Playing Card! awesome!
Joker is interesting wanna see him more in action!

Glad they don't just show Tamaki getting stripped, now if they showed her in action like some proper fight scenes or some quality scenes that are not just fanservice it would be perfect.

just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it?

Shinra being so excited to see his brother....... cute but I dunno what is going on inside Shinra’s head. Did he expect Shou to run into his arms for a hug or something lol that cost him a slash across Arthur’s chest >:(

Vulcan, even after getting betrayed, still calls out for & wants Lisa to go with him. Lisa GURL GIV UP UR XTREMIST BELIEFS N TAP THAT ALRRRRR

Company 8 sure is getting livelier. Gotta love Hinawa’s caps. Head Spa again!! XD

The after-credits scene was so cute. Love Obi♡ I wanna have his kids

I guess Hibana is not completely on the side of the 8th yet, Arthur was simply collateral damage to her lol. A pity she got knocked out by that toy, wonder how well she would've done against another captain like Giovanni. I kinda missed Maki and Tamaki, they did not see much action lately.

The hero yet again makes his dramatic entrance like the demon he is!

Love it whenever Shinra just up and flattened the enemy out of nowhere. As I expected both Lisa and Giovani aren't even a match for Shinra's insane combat prowess, maybe Giovani got some trick up his sleeve so who knows how the battle may unfold in the future. On the other hand, Shinra VS Sho left me speechless. It's reminiscent of Shinra's fight against the captain of the 1st Company. Sho moved in what seemed to be a space in which time has stopped, either that or he's simply far too quick to perceive by the human senses. Must be something to do with the Adolla burst and link. Pair this superhuman capability with a flashy katana and boom, you got yourself the commander of the Evangelist, Sho.

Joker's clash against Sho here is rather unexpected, but even more so when he's actually able to equally match him briefly before he escaped once Shinra has gotten far enough. I kinda like that about Joker. He's not affiliated with the Fire Force or the Evangelist, as far as we know, he's a third party looking to take advantage of the 2 major parties clashing against one another. On that note, he might either end up being a precious ally or a terrifying final antagonist.

The skull ornament is hella rad though, rock on.
