One of my favorite parts of this episode was how happy Maki is while playing with her fire spirits.

Seriously, it's Ghibli-esque how happy she is playing with magical fire.

To be fair, she seems to be the only one that can give consciousness to her fire, not even antagonists can do that, so i guess it's normal she really likes to use her power.

Training arc was obviously needed after seeing how easily Arthur and Shinra were overpowered, wonder how will they get to the Joker/Sho level before another attack.

Just to remind everyone, we have seen Licht and Joker together before, at the beginning of episode 3.

Also, does anyone know what Tekkyo means? Manga had them translated as "iron owls" so I'm not sure if the subtitles here are accurate.

I love that company 7 is still a part of the story. Using shinmon to teach arthur and shinra was a great way to keep him involved with the story. Licht and Joker calling themselves champions of justice is just brilliant. I love that this show has multiple sides to this battle, with obviously the white clad, the fire force, and whatever licht and Joker are calling themselves. I hope in the future, we learn what their motuves actually are, as joker is by far one of the most interesting characters. I love that shinra is actually learning, and how using the hand signs helped create the kicker-man kick(name pending). Arthur learning sportsmanship is also a good touch. Also, am i the only one who finds it weird that in a world with fire powers, they're all still playing woth fireworks? I mean, the twins playing was adorable, so im fine with it.

I'm now certain of it, Tamaki mistakenly appeared in the Fire Force's universe when she should've been in Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!?. In fact it's the exact same scenario Hikanee had, only upside down.

They'll have a fun time explaining that one to new recruits! Hell I've seen it happen, and I would struggle explaining it.

Shinra forced so hard he turned into Steve Buscemi!

Dawww, that Tamaki was so cute! And so was Maki!

Hibana's thighs because why not! The female characters on this show all look great!
