Fire Force (炎炎ノ消防隊)

Your call... has been... heard...

However... I only have...

If I were to give you Grace...

One second...

What can you do in a single second...?

Such a small sliver of Grace would be... meaningless...

One second will be plenty.

Everything I've had, I've lost,

but I won't let go of this remaining spark

No, I won't let it go, not ever

Though there may be no right answers in my ill-defined tale,

once I'm able to step forward...

They say something's wrong with me, but I'll do something with them

I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be

But if my dreams have resolved themselves to be by your side

then there's nothing left for me to doubt anymore

Sparks fly as things kick off

until "black and white" turns to ashen gray

If there's a choice crown to be had

I want it, I want it

I'll whizz my way toward you

until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out

If the clowns are melancholy

then nothing will get anywhere

I'll show you a love that burns hot enough to scorch ashes

I just spark again

"Episode 10: The Woman in Black"

Shinra, how long are you going to leave me hanging?!

Hurry it up!

With one second...

What can you do in one second?

I can preserve this forest.

I get a similar whiff from you as Adolla-- as the Evangelist had.

Who are you, exactly?

I am... no different than... the rest of you.

You said that you came to restore this world.

Then what is the Evangelist's objective?

Her... objective... is a terrible, arcane act.

To fill this land with flame, and destroy everything.

All I have done... is to create a land of rest...

...until the demise that is her goal... comes upon us.

To destroy the earth with flames? It's just like Rekka said.

Now, time is short. I will grant you my Grace.

Ogun, sorry to keep you!

Through my Link with Grace, my body is broken down to the particle level.

As I transcend the speed of light, time runs backward.

My body, in particle form, returns to the way it was in the past.

Are these...

...Tempe's memories?

Why am I the only one...?

The only one...

I lost all my wealth and property in the Great Cataclysm.

I lost my wife and daughter at the same time.

So why did I alone survive?

I hate it! I hate the Great Cataclysm!

I hate the Great Cataclysm for taking my status, my women, and my fortune!

I'm here.

This is the spatial rift.

It won't budge. Is there no way for me to move beyond here?

Does this mean that what lies ahead

is not a place where humans are permitted to enter?

Someone has appeared from beyond the rift!

A person! Wh--

Who-- What... are you?

A-Are you...

G-God? God?!

The Evangelist...

God! Are you God?! You have come to grant me your blessing, right?

I've lost my position and money in the Great Cataclysm!

Please grant me that kind of joy once again!

Please, I pray of you!

Please, give me salvation!

Salvation...!

I have received God's blessing! It hurts! It burns! It is magnificent!

I will now become a god as well, and proclaim the greatness of God!

The Evangelist came through the spatial rift, too...

But this man Tempe here is beyond hope.

Return to the great flame of fire!

Wh-What?

Where's the demon?

Shinra-kun is gone, too.

Shinra took care of the demon in an instant?

This is the true power of an Adolla Burst?

I got pretty far away from the forest, huh?

I'd better get back to the others.

The Evangelist came from beyond the rift.

Does that mean she isn't from this world?

Special Fire Force, you really did eliminate the demon in one second.

I heard that you came from beyond the rift, too. I sense...

...the same kind of presence about you as the Evangelist has.

Are you a being from Adolla as well?

You sense that because I have been inside the Tabernacle,

being burned for a long time by an Adolla Burst,

which must have intensified the "presence" of Adolla.

I was originally human.

Just like you... and that demon, Tempe.

I was enkindled with an Adolla Burst by an Evangelist's Insect,

and came to this world together with her.

You want to know about the connection between myself and the Evangelist,

but I am nothing more than someone who was brought here at her whim.

All I did was merely repair the Tabernacle,

something which was already here 250 years ago.

To save the animals that were living here from their agony,

I used its energy not to destroy, but to create, and made this Oasis.

From ancient times, mankind has established many religions,

envisioning different images of Heaven and Hell, God and the Devil.

Though they grow up in different lands, and speak different languages,

for some reason, the religions of mankind all share gods and devils.

If the various religions of this world...

are based on visions of Adolla that she has shown others...

...then perhaps from mind-bogglingly ancient times,

the Evangelist has been at work,

manipulating the thoughts of mankind

from behind the scenes of history.

One might say that the god that all mankind has imagined...

...is something that she conjured up.

You are trying to go up against... the being who created... your God.

God, huh? It is a Fire Soldier's duty to stop anyone

who is trying to bring calamity to this world, no matter who they are.

It is because of that duty...

...that this forest... has been saved.

Thank you... very much.

We heard an incredible explosion.

Ogun, is everyone all right?

Lieutenant Pan...

We're all done out here. Shinra just put the demon to rest, too.

Hey!

Shinra is coming back.

Lieutenant Pan,

how was the inside of the Tabernacle? Are you done investigating?

We hit the mother lode!

I don't hear her voice.

She must have gone to sleep.

I am most grateful for your help in putting the demon to rest.

What we learned during this investigation is a big leap forward for us.

If Amaterasu in Tokyo is set up the same way as the Tabernacle here,

it will also have a human power source.

You're eating this up, huh?

Er... and if Amaterasu's power source is a person with an Adolla Burst,

then the eight pillars would be...
