Fire Force 1x2

Directed by Shuntaro Tozawa

1. Causes of death are many and varied.

2. Old age. Illness. Suicide.

3. But out of that long, morbid list,

4. there's one end that people fear above all others.

5. Death by fire.

6. So this is meant to be my castle.

7. So what are the Rookie Fire Soldier Games?

8. It's a competition where all the Fire Force rookies

9. that joined this year get to show off their abilities,

10. and it's comin' up pretty soon.

11. You're gonna represent Company Eight

12. alongside our other new recruit, who we're expecting later today.

13. Hang on. There's a new recruit coming?

14. Indeed there is.

15. Hey, uh, Captain?

16. Will there be any Fire Soldiers

17. aside from us rookies at this contest?

18. Well, yeah. Some of us'll come and cheer you all on.

19. There could be someone from another company

20. who knows about that fire.

21. Oh, a devil.

22. Hoped I'd never see you again, ya damn knight.

23. What're you doing here?

24. Thought I'd slay some hell-spawn.

25. Still with the big talk and dumb pose.

26. I'll shove that sword up—

27. Rise and shine, Sputter.

28. Spu-Sputter...

29. You really are something else, Maki.

30. The way you control flames is amazing.

31. That's sweet of you to say, Iris.

32. But honestly, I'm just a second-generation.

33. If I were a third-gen like Shinra,

34. then I'd be able to make fire on my own

35. without having to use any starters.

36. Sputter?

37. Sputter? Sputter...

38. Careful, it's hot!

39. Sputter.

40. We're finally gonna settle the score for good.

41. Since you insist,

42. I'll have to show you the difference in our power.

43. Hang on. Who are you?

44. The realm knows me as Arthur Boyle, the Knight King.

45. Might you be the princesses of this castle?

46. [MAKI, IRIS] Huh?

47. Who, me?

48. Oh, you must be our new third-generation Fire Soldier.

49. It's nice to have you on board.

50. Shinra. Do you know this guy?

51. Uh-huh. Met him at the academy.

52. I told him that knights have jack on heroes,

53. so midway through training,

54. he tacked "king" onto that made-up title of his.

55. What a loser, right?

56. Okay...

57. He pretends he's the smooth, silent type,

58. but the truth is, he's just dumb.

59. He's literally too idiotic to come up with words.

60. And yet...

61. [MAKI, IRIS] And yet what?

62. Girls still think he's cool for some reason.

63. Ah. Yes, that.

64. I've got way more drive, but girls just don't care.

65. No one can resist a true knight.

66. Wait.

67. Knight King. Ladies love a king.

68. Well, for the record...

69. Huh?

70. I think that you're plenty cool, Shinra.

71. Huh...?

72. Let's see that awkward smile of yours, Devil.

73. Say that again.

74. What's going on?

75. Lieutenant Hinawa!

76. We just met the new recruit, Arthur.

77. It turns out that he and Shinra went to the academy together.

78. Sputter? Sputter, sputter. Sputter, sputter.

79. Sputter!

80. Fire Soldiers don't play with fire.

81. Right. Got it.

82. So you're Arthur Boyle.

83. Sure am. Glad to work with you.

84. Come on, man. You heard her call him lieutenant, right?

85. We all stand as equals before the round table.

86. He needn't bow.

87. Says the lowest-ranked soldier in this crew.

88. Látom.

89. Whatever.

90. The Rookie Games are coming up.

91. I wanna see what you've got in advance.

92. That means seeing your powers in action.

93. Now. Go take them both on, Maki.

94. Wait. Do you mean me?

95. Do you see anyone else on this rooftop

96. who might go by your name?

97. No, I do not!

98. You lead off, Shinra.

99. Are we s'posed to fight for real?

100. You don't have to hold back.

101. Are you certain that Maki can handle them?

102. Third generations are extra powerful, aren't they?

103. It won't be an issue for her.

104. Maki started out in the military.

105. She understands what it takes to destroy a man.

106. Okay. I'm ready to begin when you are.

107. Whoa, Shinra!

108. I really thought I was dead.

109. Isn't she overdoing it a bit?

110. Shinra has the instincts to be a good soldier,

111. but he's got one glaring weakness.

112. Fact is, he needs to be shown

113. that his third-gen powers can only get him so far.

114. You won't beat me the way you did him.

115. Excalibur!

116. It's still lit.

117. Looks like a plasma cutter.

118. Excalibur is stalwart.

119. You'll find it a lot tougher to extinguish than Shinra's fire.

120. But what kind of noble knight would I be

121. if I injured an innocent princess?

122. It looks like chivalry's dead after all.

123. A true knight oughtta kneel when he speaks to a princess.

124. That's for your lack of respect toward the lieutenant.

125. I see now.

126. You're an ogre disguised as a princess.

127. How dare you call me a hideous, man-eating, gorilla cyclops!

128. Didn't say that!

129. Now I'm doubting you can understand human speech, ogress.

130. It seems like he just keeps throwing more fuel on the fire.

131. That's a third-gen pyrokinetic for you.

132. I'm not outta the running yet!

133. Huh.

134. You know when you're in combat,

135. ya start to look a little brutish.

136. Not you too, Shinra.

137. If I can't just snuff your flames out...

138. Flare. Flare...

139. What the—? Hey, what'd you do to my fire?

140. No. You got Excalibur, too?

141. You should change the name to Ek-sputter-bur.

142. "Ek-sputter-bur"?

143. So we have a devil and a knight.

144. Following the pattern Arthur and Shinra established,

145. I guess I'd call Maki a witch.

146. Sputter! Flare!

147. Now come forth!

148. Bo-bo-bo! Bo-bo, Bo-bo!

149. [SHINRA, ARTHUR] Uh?

150. "Bo"?

151. Boh.

152. Would the two of you like to continue?

153. Bo. Bo. Bo. Boh.

154. Think we're out of options.

155. If you're throwin' in the towel, then that's that.

156. Well, it's pretty clear that you wanna surrender,

157. so I'll concede.

158. Bo!

159. Bo-bo-bo! Bo-bo, Bo-bo!

160. [SHINRA, ARTHUR] Is he tryin' to eat faster than me?

161. Take the time to chew, will ya?

162. Refill please. More extra-firm noodles.

163. [ARTHUR, OBI, SHINRA] Thank you for the food!

164. Wow, that was some really tasty fare, Cap.

165. Arthur, watch your tone.

166. No worries, I'm glad ya liked it.

167. The grub at that place is top notch.

168. Captain Obi sure is laid back.

169. Is there anything that can piss him off?

170. Huh?

171. Hm. Somethin' wrong, Shinra?

172. Uh. No. I'm doin' swell, sir.

173. Well, good for you.

174. It isn't healthy to train right after a big meal,

175. so there's no choice but to knock out some office work.

176. Why's it unhealthy?

177. He's even getting along with that idiot.

178. This thing's pretty impressive.

179. The Type Seven Firefighting Ax.

180. It's a durable melee weapon that can also fire

181. a sacred spike from the head at range.

182. I've no need for a fire ax.

183. Excalibur's the only weapon I wield.

184. Right, your plasma cutter.

185. By heating your flame into plasma

186. and emitting it from that bladeless hilt of yours,

187. you create a super heated, ultra-dense sword.

188. Yeah, fair point.

189. You pyrokinetics might not need tools like fire axes.

190. Every time I deploy, I've gotta equip over 30 kilos of gear.

191. Then there's the issue of maintaining it all.

192. It sure would be helpful if we could hurry up

193. and hire an engineer.

194. Might take some pressure off the Lieutenant.

195. For the record, I don't actually mind this work.

196. Mh-hm.

197. Another Infernal in Taito-ward, Iriya District! Sir!

198. This one was reported to be in a single-family home.

199. Odds are, we'll be putting them to rest in close quarters.

200. Shinra.

201. You'll be pretty limited in how you can

202. maneuver with your feet.

203. Take the Type Seven.

204. All of you keep your weapons hidden inside your coats.

205. Don't let them be seen by civilians.

206. Things are a little quiet, considering.

207. First Mama. Now Papa.

208. How come? Am I gonna be next?

209. Apparently, her mother turned Infernal as well.

210. Just two years ago.

211. And now she's lost her Dad, too. Tough break.

212. Captain Obi, should I—?

213. No. Let's do this as gently as we can.

214. I hear there's been a rash of strange incidents

215. at recent fire scenes, so stay on your toes.

216. Company Eight, we're goin' in.

217. Yes, sir!

218. Shinra. Arthur. C'mere a sec.

219. I thought I told you two to keep your weapons concealed.

220. Why should we, though?

221. There's no rule or regulation that says it's required.

222. None of our teachers mentioned it, either.

223. Excalibur is more than a weapon to me.

224. It's my pride, so why should I have to hide it?

225. As Fire Soldiers, we all have our duty.

226. We must fight the Infernals in order to put them to rest.

227. All Infernals were once human.

228. We can say we're "putting them to rest,"

229. but in truth, we kill them.

230. Among the ranks of the Fire Soldiers,

231. there are some who think of themselves as crusaders,

232. and relish every moment of combat with the Infernals.

233. Thing is, that means ignoring the torment of the bereaved.

234. The Infernal you put to rest in battle

235. is prob'ly someone's dad.

236. Or wife.

237. Never let the next of kin see your weapons.

238. If you can't follow that rule, I don't want you in my company.

239. Yes, sir.

240. He's right.

241. If I'm not there for those left behind,

242. then I'm no one's hero.

243. The flames transformed, but why?

244. Could it've been the Infernal inside?

245. Those flames are sneering at us.

246. Infernals have no sense of self.

247. It's hard to believe one of them could do this.

248. Making entry now.

249. [SHINRA, ARTHUR] Right!

250. Infernal located.

251. He's just sitting there.

252. Hm?

253. Why do these things have to happen?

254. Captain.

255. Please let me be the one to put him to rest.

256. Wait, let's think about this.

257. He is an Infernal, but he hasn't attacked anyone.

258. Don't be a dumb-ass. The man's burning alive.

259. It's hard to imagine the kind of pain he's going through.

260. We need to put him out of his misery.

261. Time's 1706. Put the Infernal to rest, Arthur.

262. I will not allow you to suffer any more pain

263. than you already have.

264. Sister. The prayer, please.

265. Right.

266. The flame is the soul's breath.

267. The black smoke is the soul's release.

268. Ashes thou wert and art.

269. May thy soul return...

270. to the great flame of fire.

271. Látom.

272. Látom.

273. Was that painful?

274. Yeah. It was.

275. Well, hang on to that pain,

276. because the worst thing this job can do to you

277. is make you numb to it all.

278. Huh?

279. What was that?

280. Everyone out! Before it caves in!

281. Aren't you coming, sir?

282. Crap, Captain, look out!

283. Don't know who did this,

284. but they must not know me, either.

285. I train every day. They'd need a lot more to crush me.

286. This damn prank of theirs has gone way too far!

287. Seems to me this so-called Special Fire Force

288. is only blowin' smoke.

289. Time to see how well those clowns can take a joke.

290. Captain, are you hurt?

291. No, I'm all right.

292. That didn't just happen on its own.

293. You think we were attacked by a third party?

294. I'm not sure yet.

295. If so, then they also trashed a fire scene

296. that was still full of memories for the bereaved.

297. And for that, they will pay.

298. For now, let's just head back.

299. Flames took my parents.

300. And next they're gonna come for me.

301. Papa. Mama.

302. Mikako, right?

303. Your father fought bravely to hold back the flame's fury,

304. and he won that fight.

305. I think both of your parents

306. were protecting you from the flames.

307. They both gave their all to make sure that you would be okay.

308. Believe in them. In the love you felt.

309. Papa. Mama.

310. I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't do anything.

311. It's rare that we can offer the bereaved much comfort.

312. And sometimes it feels just as tough

313. as charging into a sea of flames.

314. But it's still important we try.

315. Go to sleep, Devil.

316. There's nothing to be seen, 'least not by the likes of you.

317. Stop wasting your time.

318. Sometimes closing your eyes can help you to see.

319. What's that supposed to mean?

320. If you don't know, then go to sleep, Devil.

321. Wait, is he—?

322. Why?

323. Just showing some compassion as a knight.

324. Wait.

325. Shut up. I meant Knight King.

326. Hey.

327. What now?

328. Don't talk to me just 'cause you can't sleep.

329. Pfft. I won't kill you if you fall asleep first.

330. Even if you're a devil.

331. Just be grateful I'm a noble knight and go to sleep.

332. Wait.

333. King. I'm noble— I'm a noble Knight King.

334. It's almost like you're messing up on purpose.

335. I—

336. We need to bring spontaneous human combustion to an end,

337. and quickly.
