Fire Force (炎炎ノ消防隊)

"Prologue: The Great Cataclysm"

A long time ago, mankind was touched by the planet's anger,

and the world was engulfed in flames.

It was the Day of the Cataclysm.

The flames burned ferociously,

with an intensity threatening to incinerate the places mankind lived in,

the languages they spoke, and the culture they had built up.

"Chapter One: Holy Fire"

As the world was being covered in ash, one man appeared.

He would later be called Raffles I.

Raffles took his disciples and left on a journey in search of light.

At the end of his journey, he found an "unsullied flame,"

and brought forth the light that would be mankind's salvation.

"Chapter Two: Amaterasu"

Raffles and his disciples used the flame bestowed by the great Sol

and the technology cultivated by mankind to create "Amaterasu."

The sacred flame of Amaterasu benefited the lives of mankind,

and ended up establishing the foundation of a state in the Far East.

"Shinra + Hebio Squad"

Crewman Shinra, I'm Lieutenant Hebio. I'm looking forward to working with you.

I look forward to working with you.

I hear you have experience with missions in the Nether.

We'll be counting on you.

Yes, sir.

We've never embarked on a mission as split up as this before.

Is leaving Arthur on his own a good idea?

I did give them a handbook on how to handle him, but...

"Arthur + Heckler Squad"

Gentlemen, your attention! My name is Arthur Boyle, the Knight King!

You will follow my orders!

I am in command here!

Hmm? Who are you, barbarian? Bow yourself to me, you fool!

What did you...?

Lieutenant Heckler!

According to the Company 8 Arthur Boyle Care and Feeding Manual,

if you lead him along appropriately,

he will work for you with moderate compliance.

King Arthur, I am Commander Heckler, head of the order,

and have been placed in command here!

Very well. You may take command.

"Hinawa + Engo Squad"

Lieutenant Hinawa, I look forward to working with you today.

I am the one looking forward to working with you.

Hey, who are you?!

Let me through! I'm coming with you!

Takigi Oze, CID. I've been authorized to join you.

Detective Oze, in your condition...

It's not a problem. I won't do anything to slow you down.

I want to see the results of my investigation for myself.

Detective Oze...

You're Lieutenant Hinawa, the one who tricked Maki.

Tricked?

In an emergency, I will protect you personally,

so you can focus on your--

I don't need any of your help!

Don't think less of me because I'm a detective!

At least wear this turnout coat.

Thank you.

All right,

into the Nether!

Ugh, a shopping center inside the Nether. How creepy.

"Tamaki + Kagenashi Squad"

"+ Juggernaut"

Yes! The same squad as Kotatsu-san!

Juggernaut, you're acting pretty calm, considering. This is the Nether!

Huh? Oh, mm-hmm. I grew up out in the country, where it was always dark,

so the darkness doesn't bother me at all.

Are you serious?

That's amazing, given how dark this is.

K-K-Kotatsu-san is clinging to me!

Now I wish I hadn't worn so many layers!

Juggernaut, is that Crewman Kotatsu, the one you're always talking about?

Hey, Hajiki-senpai!

I'm Company 2 First Class Fire Soldier and Platoon Leader Hajiki.

"Special Fire Force Company 2" "Platoon Leader" "Amon Hajiki"

I'm a little bit forgetful, but nice to meet you.

Hey! Hajiki-senpai, how could you do that to Kotatsu-san?!

No way, was that me?

I can't shut off my lucky lechery!

Why are you undressed? Did I lose my memories? Lucky lechery?

Hajiki-senpai, what are you doing?!

Have I done something? Have I lost my memories again?

I wonder if there's a hospital here in the Nether.

--Huh?! An explosion?! --Now what?! Burning lechery?

Medic! Medic!

"Licht + Ohana Squad"

Did you get your thermal sensors set?

All finished.

Man,

this is like being in that zombie movie I just watched.

Lieutenant Ohana!

What is it?!

Please come over here, sir!

Infernals, down in the Nether?

And this many of them?

No!

There is an abundance of bodies in the Nether, left undisposed-of,

from the Great Cataclysm.

The Knights of the Ashen Flame

aren't the only knights serving under the Evangelist.

Let's go, Knights of the Purple Haze.

"Knights of the Purple Haze"

"Episode 20: Weapon of Destruction"

Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.

Látom.

Natasha, once this next mission is over, we'll get married.

I'm so happy, Jonas.

Jonas!

Th-They got Jonas!

Damn it!

I'll take time off and be back the day you deliver.

I'm sure he'll be a healthy boy, just like you, Anton.

Anton!

Fire! Fire!

Once this next mission is over,

I'm putting on these brand-spanking-new sneakers.

Are you all right?! Watch yourself!

Lucky for me, my life flashing before my eyes was so lackluster--

Anton...?

The fallen crewmen...!

The bodies of the killed crewmen are walking around!

It's that White-Clad woman we fought at Haijima,

whose power is to control dead bodies!

Damn it, this isn't getting us anywhere--

Yes, of course!

Anybody from the 8th!

Necro Pyro.

Fight and kill each other.

-Wah! Let me go! Let me go!

--Juggernaut! --Wah! Let me go! Let me go!

Honestly, there's no helping that guy.

Ju--!

H-Hajiki-senpai! What if you had hit me?!

If I didn't have so many layers on, this could have been bad!

Relax, I know what's what inside there.

You lean left-of-center, don't you?

No, right! Boy, you sure are forgetful, Hajiki-senpai.

You didn't get hit even once by that?
