The Promise
1
TOKYO, CHUO-KU
HOLY SOL TEMPLE, IMPERIAL SEA
Your Excellency, there is no need
for you to appear personally.
While this situation can certainly
not be ignored, you can allow us to
It's all right. Assemble the captains
from all the companies.
Goodness.
What do we have here?
MUSCLE-BRAIN GORILLA!
GIVE SHINRA A RAISE!
Shinra!
My locker has been violated again!
Enough, already!
I didn't do anything, sir!
Shinra is eating the lunch that
I made for him. Don't interrupt.
Is this your doing again?
What is the Captain of Company 5
even doing here?
I was going to go to the captains'
conference together with you.
Don't get the wrong idea.
When I bought the sweet roll
to fill me up before the conference,
I'd forgotten about my lunch.
I couldn't eat it by myself,
and it's a shame to waste it.
So I had no choice
but to give it to Shinra.
That's not what I was asking about.
Shinra!
Do something about this girl!
What? But sir, the lunch is really good.
Oh, really? It's good, right?
Damn it, she's baiting him.
I'll treat you to as much ramen
as you like sometime soon!
Ramen, you say?
I'm coming too.
-What are you doing back there?
-What?
I'm coming too.
Captain, run!
What happened to her lucky lecher?
Hey, Maki, do you want any
Hinawa, they're playing with fire
inside the office.
I need to confirm the route to Central.
Stop it, you idiot! You skirt-devil!
You did that yourself!
Farewell, skirt-devil.
There's a delicious bakery near here.
Hibana, that's an old one.
Of course, we know of it.
They just started selling something new,
with strawberries on it!
This place sure has gotten lively.
Are you sure it's okay
for Tamaki and I to attend, sir?
The topic of this conference
is the Evangelist
and the White-Clad organization.
Having been directly involved,
we're going to need your reports.
Do all the captains meet together often?
No, not once
since I took command of Company 8.
That should tell you
how urgent a matter this is.
Artificial Infernals.
A direct hit on target.
Hoshimiya has been eliminated.
We'll report this to the Commander.
We're withdrawing.
The White-Clad.
Click!
Behold the brilliance of the star
of flames ensconced in the heavens!
We will return to the bosom
of the Great Sol!
Turn all people into flames, and engulf
Earth in the great flames of fire!
Incinerate this imperfect Earth and
its humanity in the flames of salvation!
All according to the will
of the Evangelist.
And the Evangelist.
There's no doubt we're closing in on
the cause behind Infernals appearing.
Is that by any chance
What, Kusakabe,
you've never seen it before?
That's the power station that was built
at the beginning of the Solar calendar.
Amaterasu,
the perpetual thermal energy plant.
AMATERASU
Amaterasu produces
all of the energy for Tokyo.
All from that one facility?
It must have out-of-this-world firepower.
Thanks for everything you did
the other day.
No, I should be the one to thank you.
Company 1 Lieutenant Karim Flam.
I heard all about
what happened from Shinra.
I want to learn the truth about Rekka.
I intend to work with Company 8 on that.
I hear you're a capable man. Thanks.
I thought you were supposed to
be with Haijima, like me.
What are you talking about?
It looks to me like you're spending
a lot of time with Company 8.
You're being ridiculous.
The captains' conference
is about to start.

This really is a big deal.
So that man is the renowned
mightiest Fire Soldier of all?
Company 7's Captain?
What's so funny, you little brat?
Waka
Hey, Kusakabe!
Each company's captain seems to be here.
TOKYO EMPIRE EMPEROR
RAFFLES III
All right, let's begin this
emergency conference.
I've spoken with
the General of the Tokyo Army
and the Chief of the Fire Defense Agency.
They say that there are some who are
acting in secret to threaten our nation.
Their actions defile the divine protection
granted to us by the Great Sol.
All companies of the Special Fire Force,
you are to bring down
the Evangelist as a traitor.
"Great Sol," my ass.
What a load of nonsense.
Benimaru Shinmon!
Your disrespect is beyond the pale!
Apologize to the Emperor
before the punishment of Gustav Honda
befalls you!
Shut up, Honda Gustav.
My name is Shinmon Benimaru.
A proto-national name.
So you're a proto-nationalist.
We in Company 7 are a gang of idiots who
used to just be the neighborhood watch.
I don't remember swearing an oath
of loyalty to the Empire or to Sol.
Company 7 will do whatever we want.
Hold it! We haven't finished talking yet!
Stop right there!
In any case, all companies are to come
together to pursue the Evangelist.
This will indeed be the path
to save humanity from the flame terror.
You're getting closer, aren't you?
Devil's Footprints.
That was surprisingly quick.
He's got some potential.
Maybe I'll go and see him again.
Shinra Kusakabe.
Yes, Your Excellency?
I understand you possess an Adolla Burst.
That is what Rekka Hoshimiya told me, sir.
What exactly is an Adolla Burst?
It is an unsullied, pure flame.
The primordial flame, and the spark
that Sol used when he created this world.
Did you happen to see it on your way here?
Amaterasu,
the perpetual thermal energy plant.
The source flame that provides all
of the energy for the Tokyo Empire.
That flame is no more or less than
an Adolla Burst.
The Evangelist is seeking
to obtain Adolla Bursts.
An Adolla Burst is a flame of high purity,
but how it differs from a common flame
cannot be scientifically explained.
Could the Evangelist have discovered
what the difference is?
The Evangelist
will be coming for Kusakabe.
Shouldn't we keep him secured?
Secured? Please, sir, anything but that!
Fire Soldiers are here to protect people!
I can keep myself safe!
The other companies ought not to
interfere with Company 8's matters.
Each company should be devoting itself
to pursuing the Evangelist.
Company 3 wants
to make Shinra their specimen.
Company 8 accepts the responsibility
to keep Kusakabe safe and secure.
An Adolla Burst is the sacred flame
of God's chosen.
Take good care of it.
Yes, Your Excellency!
Goodness.
We're back.
We've returned.
Welcome home. I'll make some tea.
Wearing these funny clothes is exhausting.
Sir? Wasn't Shinra with you too?
Yes. Shinra said he wanted
to see Amaterasu on his own.
And if we have to mobilize,
I'll cover for him somehow.
Plus, Tamaki and Arthur are here.
That guy is making me work.
If the Evangelist is going to seek me out,
that works just fine for me.
Long time no see, Devil's Footprints.
You
An Adolla Burst.
One of those is a primordial flame,
which serves as the power source
for Amaterasu.
The sacred flame that created this world.
But then, that flame is also the cause
of the world's downfall.
I'm not in the mood
for fisticuffs right now.
But if you insist,
I'd be willing to take you on.
You don't actually think
you can get a lick in, do you?
I came to tell you something
you'll want to hear today.
A reward for the devil who certainly
has gotten closer to the truth.
You finally have a lead
where your brother is, don't you?
What are you trying to say?
Keep on pursuing the Evangelist.
That's where you'll find your brother.
Commander of the Knights
of the Ashen Flame,
in service to the Evangelist,
Sho Kusakabe.
Your brother.
Sho serves under the Evangelist
as the Commander of an order of knights?
What do you mean?
Joker!
Hell is a perfect fit for a devil.
Mom, Sho, I'm sorry.
I couldn't keep my promise.
Mom, Sho!
Mom.
But I will keep another promise.
If what he says is really true,
I'm going to have to fight
with my brother.
I'm going to become a superhero
and protect Mom and Sho!
I promised Mom
that I will keep them both safe
and I will keep our family bound together!
No matter what, I will keep that promise!
ARTHUR, SHINRA, OBI, HINAWA
The Special Fire Force
is going after the Evangelist.
Let's start
by looking for clues in the data
from all the fires
that have happened so far.
This is just a fraction of it all.
Find any details that may relate
to the White-Clad, no matter how trivial.
The Evangelist and the White-Clad
are artificially causing Spontaneous
Human Combustion for some purpose.
We cannot allow a single one
of them to get away with it.
I'll leave you to it.
INVESTIGATION REPOR
Hey, Shinra, hurry up and find a lead.
All this mental heavy lifting
is making you pale.
So keep it up until it kills you.
Like watching a candle in the wind. Good.
Let's take a little break.
What? But Arthur is on the verge
of dying. Let's keep going!
Sister should be getting back
from consoling their next of kin.
How about the women go
and cook something for us to eat?
I'll do it!
Is that okay, Lieutenant?
You guys? I have my misgivings.
Jeez, how rude. It will be fine.
Maki's cooking!
ORGANIC
What is this?
Maki!
Hey! Kusakabe, no peeking!
How, in the blue blazes,
did you end up like that?
You were wearing coveralls
just a second ago!
That kind of conventional thinking
doesn't apply to Tamaki.
Maki, go get Tamaki changed
and get back to work.
I'll make supper.
Shinra, you're helping.
What? Okay.
SPINACH, CANNED CHICKEN, MILK
Are you okay?
What?
If it's too hard to talk to me,
you can always tell the Captain.
I like it here at Company 8.
I'd be glad
if you guys can trust Company 8 too.
Lieutenant Hinawa,
I also love it here at Company 8.
I do trust you and Captain Obi.
Thank you very much.
I see.
The food is ready!
Please come to the dining room!
Yes!
How does Shinra seem?
The strain on him after Company 5 and
Company 1 investigations has been tough.
You didn't recruit any fragile members
into Company 8, sir.
He's fine.
Awesome! You made this, Kusakabe?
No, it was mostly the Lieutenant.
-Thanks for the food!
-Thanks for the food!
Thanks for the food.
Make sure to chew before you swallow.
Thank goodness.
Things are the same as always.
Things have been weird
ever since you got back.
I thought maybe your stomach was upset,
but if you're eating that much,
you must be fine.
I know this is sudden,
but there's something I have to say.
The truth is
I told them. About my meeting with Joker.
About my brother, Sho.
It would be fine to share it
with my friends at Company 8.
That's what I thought.
I see.
But this is coming from Joker, right?
Can we even trust that information?
I still don't believe it myself.
In that case
Shinra.
Do you want to believe your brother
is still alive or not?
I want to believe it!
Of course, you do.
In that case, we have no choice
but to believe it as well.
It doesn't change our mission
to go after the Evangelist,
but we're going to form our strategy
around the premise
that Shinra's brother is still alive.
Thank you very much, sir.
-A light to those who are lost.
-A light to those who are lost.
-To burn the land,
-To burn the land,
-and turn this world to a flaming sun
-and turn this world to a flaming sun
-wherein God may be enshrined.
-wherein God may be enshrined.
-As the Evangelist directs.
-As the Evangelist directs.
-Latom.
-Latom.
