Episodes
In a train station, a passenger spontaneously combusts in a cart. The Special Fire Force Company 8, a specialized fire brigade consisting of members with pyrokinetic abilities, is called in to assist.
The brigades purpose is to “lay to rest” Infernals, fiery beasts that materialize from human bodies. As if in a religious ceremony, the company prays for the soul of the Infernal in the train while they fight it, before destroying it with their powers, concluding the prayer. Shinra Kusakabe, a youth dubbed “Devil’s Footprints” due to his power to ignite his feet at will, witnesses the incident, and saves Iris, one of the fire fighters, from falling debris with his speed. He explains to them that he is the new recruit for Company 8. Shinra is quickly dispatched on his first mission to save the wife of a factory owner that has infernalized.
In the midst of the emergency, he recalls an incident in his youth, in which he was accused of causing the fire that destroyed his home, killing his family, causing him to be feared and neglected, as well as leaving him with the desire to become a hero and save people. Shinra successfully destroys the Infernal, as him and the other Company members honor her memory. Outside, he is greeted by the husband of the woman, who tearfully thanks him for ending his wife’s suffering.
Shinra is told about the upcoming Rookie Fire Soldier Games and how he and the new recruit, Arthur Boyle, will represent Special Fire Force Company 8. Shinra explains that he knows Arthur from the Academy, and is heavily annoyed by his tendency of considering himself a king,
and acting like so. Lieutenant Hinawa orders Maki to test their abilities before the game. She easily defeats with her strength and fire inhibiting abilities, as they are overconfident as third-generation pyrokinetics. Suddenly, the company receives an emergency call of an Infernal in a detached house in the Iriya District.
https://movieslord.shop/When they arrive, Arthur and Shinra both draw their weapons in public against the Captain’s orders, an act he says can distress people, who see the Fire Force as the saviors of the souls of the people consumed by flames. However, contrary to the previous Infernal they fought, this one calmly sits on his table, harmlessly enduring his pain.
Captain Obi discovers a family picture in the room, and they all understand the Infernal is keeping calm to prevent harming his daughter. As such, Shinra and the Company sorrowfully pray for the Infernal, as Arthur ends his misery in an instant with his plasma sword. Obi, sensing Shinra’s guilt, explains that these situations are the daily life of a Fire Force member. Outside, the Captain consoles Mikako, the infernalized man’s daughter, causing Arthur and Shinra to learn more about the responsibilities of being in the Special Fire Force.
