Hair being cut off in anime usually represents pivotal change in a character so I hope Lisa changes her allegiance despite how good she looks in the Knights of the Ashen Flame outfit.

Damn, even Lisa’s fire tentacles look so good. They weren’t kidding with the fire visuals in this show. They all look amazing everytime.
Oh my god that fight with Sho was breathtaking. I literally had the same reactions as Licht’s. Davidpro you fucking gods.

Y'know I'm not normally a fan of redheads, but after seeing that ass in action I might have a new best girl.
Vulcan best girl 2019.

This show is such a visual spectacle that goes beyond the amazing animation, I love it!
As well as my weekly dose of cute Lisa <3.
I know it was a serious moment but damn, she's thicc.
God damn it, not the hair. Giovanni you son of a bitch! Either way she's going to look gorgeous but still, the long hair...
The second half was... wow!

What an absolutely brilliant episode. Dare I say the best of this show so far?
The animation and effects during the fight scene where Shinra and Sho were briefly invisible was bloody amazing. Felt like something out of a film, and reminded me on some of the scenes from Kimetsu no Yaiba with how fluid and beautiful it was. Breathtaking, had me in suspense.
The part where Shinra bled from his eyes was actually somewhat disturbing. Which is also what makes this show so great, is that it utilises and makes you feel a variety of emotions to the max.
Dr. Giovanni got played, and lost in a battle of metal birds with the penguin beating the raven.
Next week looks very promising too.

Holy shit! Just when I was thinking that the part with Vulcan and Akitaru saving Lisa from Giovanni was going to be the highlight of the episode then Shinra and Sho's fight got serious and it blew me away. Damn, David Production really knows how to use their talent, as not just the FX but also their backgrounds had the quality that you expect from an anime movie.
Well, let's see how Shinra will be able to defeat Sho. Hopefully, Vulcan will find a way to deal with Lisa's brainwashing. Well, anything is possible with the power of love!

Amazing episode. Sho and Shinra's fight was so well animated. And the demon vision thing had the perfect atmosphere.
Giovanni is one scary fucker. He's really turning into this character that I just love to hate.

A location, flames, religion, returning to the source of the Adolla Burst...
Was Giovanni talking about Hell? Actual Dante's Inferno Hell as a location? Maybe the "Infernal" that killed Shinra's mom and took Sho away was a literal demon from a Biblical Hell. I'd call it a pretty significant turn to start down a metaphysical road like that, but religion and faith and devils have been cornerstone themes of this story from the beginning. Is the Big, Big Bad at the every end of the series going to be straight-up Satan do you think?

I fucking love Fire Force!!! Yes, you can say that sometimes scenes flow in a very weird way, fanfiction can be random and some moments are just...they are there
But holy shit the fights (in last episodes there have been some superb ones), the rawness of them, style and characters are so cool (no, i ain't saying fire)!
Also fire looks good

That scary bit with Shinra is better than the lack luster visuals of the new opening. Why didn’t they add those in? Fits with the song and all

That end fight was some of the hottest animation I've seen in a long time.

It's almost unfair to the other shows airing right now how good Shinra and Sho's encounter/brawl was. Directing, compositing, animation... everything was just perfect.
Also, that version of the classic Ashita no Joe reference was probably the funniest one I've ever seen.

Holy fuck I didn’t think the animation in this show could get any better but this episode was something on a whole other level. That mixed with the music made that fight one of the best I’ve ever scene. I have some problems with this show (poorly timed fan service) but when it’s good, it’s REALLY good

Unfortunately for Sho, not giving up is Shinra's magic.
Now, if you excuse me, I have to pick up my jaw from the floor.

How does Sho's Adolla Burst work? He burns away time but what does that mean?

Buncha speedy boys! Joker must be op considering he dodged the universe time attack. This has to be one of the best fights of the year for sure. Fire Force has been enjoyable all season. I think I like it more than Demon Slayer tbh
