The train traveling
between Komagome and Tabata
TRAIN NUMBER 1
-A fire has broken out on a running train.
-That's a huge fire.
I heard it was an Infernal.
Another fire?
You must be in pain.
I'll put you out of your misery now.
Special Fire Force!
All civilians, please get back!
This area is dangerous!
You too. Don't stand around here.
Step back now.
Hey, aren't you
Lieutenant! What are you doing?
Excuse me.
Let's put this Infernal to rest.
-Roger!
-Roger!
Sister, please begin the prayer.
Right.
Flames are the breaths of souls.
-Firing a special ire extinguishing shell!
-And smoke is the souls' release.
Readying the core-annihilating
pile bunker!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
This soul,
return to the raging flames.
Latom.
Latom.
Awesome.
This is it!
TABATA STATION
Sister, are you hurt?
No.
Sister!
Are you
Yes! Forgive me for the late introduction.
I'm a newly-assigned member of
Special Fire Force Company 8 as of today,
Third Generation Fire Soldier,
Shinra Kusakabe.
So these are the Devil's Footprints
I've heard about.
SPECIAL FIRE CATHEDRAL 8
The newly-formed unit
isn't in a modern facility?
What a dump.
Shinra, come in.
Yes, sir!
-You think it's a dump?
-No!
Reporting in!
Oh, you're here.
I'm the Captain
of Special Fire Force Company 8,
Akitaru Obi.
Please stop training
when you're introducing yourself at least.
Oh, right.
Takehisa Hinawa, Lieutenant of Company 8.
So Shinra
SHINRA
About this resume photo,
why are you smiling in it?
Sir! I'm sorry about that.
When I get nervous, my face tightens up,
I seem to have a tendency to smile.
What?
Well about that
I smile whenever I tense up.
My whole face
Sorry.
You're just so adorable.
So it must have created
a lot of misunderstandings.
Yes, sir! It's not that
I'm making light of anyone.
"Adorable"? I think the word
you're looking for is "disgusting."
So tell me, Shinra,
what was your motivation
for joining the Fire Force?
Sir!
I came here to be a hero.
Heroic ideation is fine and all,
but Fire Soldiers are a team.
We have to make sure
that we put cooperation first.
A hero, huh?
From what I understand,
you were called a devil
even at the Training Academy,
over an incident that took place
when you were a little child.
Are you sure you're not just a delinquent
with a bad reputation
who became a Fire Soldier
to score a little credit?
And you expect to be a hero?
SPECIAL FIRE CATHEDRAL 8
SHOWER ROOM
Sister
What is it, Maki?
Earlier, you were swept
off your feet like a princess
by the new recruit at the station, right?
When he did that,
did you feel it was the hand of fate
or anything?
THUMP
Maki you're usually so cool.
But your head
is full of girly imagination.
Reporting in!
Thanks for your help earlier.
Don't mention it.
Any hero would do the same.
It really is fate!
Iris, our lovable Sister,
violence isn't your thing.
Isn't it nice and romantic?
I adjusted the cuffs on your pants
to go with your ability.
Is the length okay?
Yes. Thank you very
That kind of smells nice.
Is that the scent of a damp woman?
Excuse me! That's not what I was thinking!
Captain Obi, it's about time.
All right. Everyone's here,
so let's get started.
None of us know
when or who it might happen to.
The terror that grips every person
who lives on Earth
is because of
Spontaneous Human Combustion.
One day, it just started.
Out of the blue, people all over the world
began to catch fire.
These victims
of Spontaneous Human Combustion
were labeled the First Generation.
This First Generation,
who lost their sense of themselves
and ran out of control
until their lives were spent,
were feared as Infernals.
An Infernal would not cease their activity
until the core where their heart was
is destroyed.
Or in other words, they are put to rest.
The Special Fire Force's mission
is to put Infernals to rest and save
the souls of both humans and Infernals.
It is also our duty to solve the mystery
and find the cause
of Spontaneous Human Combustion,
and more than anything,
to save humanity from the flame terror
as soon as possible.
I'm going to be a hero.
No, I have to be a hero.
SPECIAL FIRE CATHEDRAL 8
DORM, UNIT C
Mom
Mom, I'm going to be a superhero,
and keep both you and Sho safe.
That's so cool.
Devil!
Of course, I'm not going to take in
such a dangerous child!
Now, Grandmother, you shouldn't say that
in front of your grandson.
Grandson?
Do you know what the boy has done?
And still
You still have that
expression on your face?
I'll keep my promise.
The alarm!
Shinra!
An Infernal has appeared!
Be ready in 30 seconds!
Right!
NON-POWERED, CAPTAIN AKIHARU OBI
An Infernal has appeared
in Taito-ku, Torigoe District.
The site of the fire is a small factory.
The person who turned Inferno
is the factory manager's wife.
NON-POWERED, SISTER IRIS
SECOND GENERATION PYROKINETIC
LIEUTENANT TAKEHISA HINAWA
We'll work with Squad 4 of
the Fire Defense Agency's Ueno Regional HQ
to put her to rest and stamp things out.
SECOND GENERATION PYROKINETIC
FIRST CLASS FIRE SOLDIER, MAKI OZE
We're moving out!
Hurry and get in the Matchbox!
THIRD GENERATION PYROKINETIC
SECOND CLASS FIRE SOLDIER
SHINRA KUSAKABE
SPECIAL ARMORED FIRE ENGINE
CODE NAME: MATCHBOX
Emergency vehicles
are now passing through.
All other traffic,
please pull to the side and clear a path.
Special Fire Force Company 8, move out!
This is your chance to be a hero.
KAWAGUCHI METAL FITTINGS
The Blue Stripes are here!
This Infernal seems to be
especially aggressive.
We're working to keep
any sparks from flying,
but unless you can put
the Infernal to rest, there's nothing
Sister.
Please bring my wife to rest.
Infernals are lost souls
surrounded in flames.
In the name of the great god Sol,
I offer mercy.
Special Fire Force Company 8,
we're going in!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
There. All done.
All right!
Now I can keep everyone safe!
Mom, look! Do I look like a hero?
Yes! Very cool.
In there.
It's almost as if this wall of flames
is refusing to let us in.
This place must have been
very important to the wife.
Mom! Sho!
Shinra! Are you okay?
I'm
I thought you were going to be a hero.
Fire Soldiers do not leave
their comrades behind and run away.
When one of us lags behind,
we're all delayed.
The luminous blue stripes
that ring our bodies
are the ties that bind comrades together
in the world of flame and smoke.
Never break them!
Having a sense of fear allows you
to make cool-headed decisions.
Just don't chicken out because of it.
Not a problem.
Maki!
Securing a path!
The flames are being sucked in!
Shinra!
-Shinra!
-Shinra!
Shinra!
Shinra!
Hurry and get out of here!
Hurry!
Mom
The son, Shinra, was supposedly
the cause of the fire.
There weren't even any bones left
from his little brother Sho.
Did they say he was a Third Generation?
They can shoot out flames, right?
Terrifying, isn't it?
I can't run away.
It wasn't me.
There was someone there during the fire.
Someone other than Mom, Sho, or me.
I'm going to find out who the bastard was.
That twisted, nervous smile
It's so disgusting.
He's a devil.
Ever since that day,
I haven't been able to smile genuinely.
Hey, Devil!
Get up! Devil!
Blue light?
After getting stuck with
a heavy-duty nickname like Devil,
are you this pathetic?
I was knocked out.
How many minutes have passed?
What? It was about five seconds.
Are you okay?
If you can move, then get up!
Are you okay, Shinra?
Yes!
Everyone prepare for battle!
Now moving to put the Infernal
Factory Manager's Wife to rest!
-Roger!
-Roger!
Shinra, Maki and I
will draw her attention.
Finish this in one shot
with those feet of yours!
Right.
Commence the operation!
That's hot!
Improved Type 2 Fire Ax thrust!
I was going to be a hero
and keep Mom and Sho safe.
Mom, Sho, I'm sorry.
I couldn't keep my promise.
But I will keep another promise.
Mom,
here I go.
I am not a devil! I have to be a hero!
There. Off you go!
Off I go!
Sister! The prayer!
Right.
Captain!
Shinra! Aim for the core!
You are a devil!
Flames are the breaths of souls.
Disgusting. What a crooked smile.
And smoke is the souls' release.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. This soul
Hey, soul!
Burn!
Amazing. This is
a Third Generation's firepower?
Return to the raging flames!
Latom.
Sister, is my wife
Your wife is safe. She has returned
to the great flame of fire.
Shinra put her to rest
without her suffering.
Thank you, Shinra.
Thank you.
Good work!
Thank you, Fire Soldiers!
From here on, you'll be the recipient
of these cheers again and again.
Very cool.
You've taken your first step toward
becoming a hero, haven't you?
