**The Holy Woman's Resolve** (聖女の決意, *Seijo no Ketsui*) is the fourteenth chapter of the *Fire Force* manga series.

## Summary

As Shinra apologises for stumbling upon Iris during her purifying ritual, he asks if she's alright, to which she pulls a fake smile to ensure to Shinra that she is. After talking to Arthur to gather his opinion about whether she seems off in any way, Maki bursts through the door exclaiming that Iris has run off somewhere. Meanwhile, at the Special Fire Force Combine 5, Iris asks to talk to Hibana personally. When confronted, Iris claims what Hibana is doing, meaning the illegal research on the Infernals, is sinful and a violation to the Sun God that they originally worshipped at The Holy Sol Temple. Hibana reacts violently and rips off the habit that Iris is wearing, claiming she isn't worthy of wearing such a pristine and undefiled outfit. As Hibana grasps Iris' face, with an intimidating smile, Hibana goes on to say that a sister inside of a Special Fire Brigade is nothing but a decoration to it, and doesn't serve any purpose; and that the only real things that exist in this world are demons such as herself. Hibana then tells her brigadiers to use Iris as bait to draw in the 8th Special Fire Brigade purposely, until she heard a loud thump outside the Combine. Outside, what was first thought to be a mortar shot by the guards, was actually Shinra, asserting his presence to save Iris from the 5th Brigade.

## Summary

At the 8th Special Fire Brigade, Akitaru and Hibana are discussing the creation of the artificial Flame Humans, to which they conclude that inside of the corpses of artificial Flame Humans were gene of a particular Bug. Back in the streets of Shinjuku, Karim and Rekka spot Shinra and Arthur questioning their position by not attending the mission. Stopping to think, Shinra suspects the culprit who used the Bug is one or both of the two Priests. Arthur rushes in to question them, but Shinra elbows him in the stomach, and tells the Priests that they got lost since they don't visit Shinjuku often. Tamaki walks over and reports to Rekka that all groups have succeeded in their mission, and so the members of the 1st return to headquarters. When Arthur and Shinra return to their dorms at the Cathedral, they discuss the events concerning Rekka and Karim. Shinra explains that it would have been too assertive and dangerous to confront the Priests at the time, which is why he waited till he returned and received orders from Akitaru. As the two begin their investigation on Karim, Shinra explains that Takeru and Tōru are distracting him in the meanwhile. As they break into Karim's room and look around, they soon discover a vial with a Bug inside. Pondering at it, it doesn't take long before Karim appears behind them with a ruthless expression. The two turn around hesitantly, prepared to fight, though Karim walks in and sits on the bed. Karim explains that he knew the 8th were investigating the 1st, and that the he put the Bug in the draw on purpose, claiming to also be looking for the original perpetrator of the bug. The three resolve that the real mastermind has to be Rekka Hoshimiya since he was the only other person with the same robe at the scene of the artificial Flame Human. He goes on to say there was a peculiar case in which children ignited artificially two months ago. Somewhere in Tokyo's streets, two innocent children are seen walking together. A shadow appears and calls their attention, only for it to be Tamaki Kotatsu, claiming she knows a fire that burned children previously, and tempting them to follow her.

Adolla Grace

* Woman in Black
* Iris

The **Adolla Grace** (伝導者の加護, *Dendōsha no Kago*) is when a Third Generation's pyrokinetic abilities are enhanced by an Adolla Link with an otherworldly being, such as the Evangelist, making the pyrokinetic a Fourth Generation.

## Overview

When empowered by a Grace, a pyrokinetic's abilities are vastly enhanced, in some cases allowing them to utilize abilities that defy the very laws of physics. Something that ordinary pyrokinesis would not be capable of. The strength of Grace was demonstrated when Shinra Kusakabe was able to single handedly defeat a Demon Infernal in under a second, whereas it took the combined efforts of multiple Special Fire Force Companies and the utilization of the power of a massive city-destroying wildfire to beat a Demon Infernal without Grace. Grace is only available to someone if they possess an Adolla Burst.

A Grace can only be granted by an otherworldly being from Adolla, such as the Evangelist or the Woman in Black. However, it is also possible to attain Grace by establishing an Adolla Link with a third-party who already has Grace, as demonstrated by Shinra when he achieved Grace by Linking with his little brother while the latter was Linked with the Evangelist. It is hinted to only be accessible if within a certain proximity with the user giving Grace.

The only drawback of Grace is that it is dependent on the user being Linked with the otherworldly being, a connection that the otherworldly being can revoke at any time. Furthermore, the otherworldly being must have the strength necessary to maintain the Grace, otherwise the user will only be able to use their Fourth Generation ability for a very limited amount of time, as little as only one second.

Suddenly, two flame-like-tails sprout from her butt; making Tamaki realise she had awakened as a Third Generation. Back at school everybody talks about how amazing it is and what she could do now that she's a Third Gen, becoming a Fire Soldier or a Sister. One girl mentions joining Company 1, the elite Special Fire Force. Back in the present, Tamaki's butt gets slapped again by both the twins, this time leaving her at 12 seconds, and the twins complimenting her on the improved score.

**Operation: Infiltrate Company 1** (第１潜入作戦, *Dai Ichi Sen'nyū Sakusen*) is the twenty-second chapter of the *Fire Force* manga series.

## Summary

Shinra and Arthur become discouraged by Akitaru ordering them to leave the 8th, while Iris and Maki tell him to have some compassion, even though they can be idiots. Claiming that they have jumped to conclusions, Akitaru calmly explains his plan to infiltrate the 1st; Shinra and Arthur will leave the 8th to utilise the training program for rookies which is situated at the 1st Special Fire Fighting Cathedral, to which Hibana agrees is a good plan. Akitaru reminds everyone that the 1st could potentially be creating artificial Infernals in the area, in which Shinra states he will never forgive the person creating them. Realizing that if only 8th brigade members show up it will seem suspicious, Hibana forcefully invites Tōru Kishiri to join them in the infiltration. At the Special Fire Base 2, Juggernaut is approached by other members of the 2nd, recalling how big he is physically but in comparison to his spirit, is very small. Gustav Honda bursts in enthusiastically, stating that Juggernaut will be attending the training program with members of the 8th and 5th, to which Juggernaut becomes startled over. When the group arrive at the Cathedral, they meet Karim Flam, who quickly insults Shinra and Arthur, displaying zero respect for the Fire Officers. As Karim leads them to Leonard Burns, the Battalion Commander of the 1st, Shinra reminisces, remembering that Burns knows about the history of his family and the fire incident 12 years ago. The group of trainees salute arrive in the central hall and salute to Burns, but Burns tells them that they should do a gesture of praying instead, as they are in a Cathedral. He introduces them to the Company Commanders of the 1st, Karim Fulham, Rekka Hoshimiya and Foien Li. After talking for a while, Shinra confidently questions the Commander on whether they can practice their skills in a confrontation with members of the 1st, to which Rekka says there's no need. Burns agrees to Shinra's question, which makes Rekka become suddenly fired up about fighting. Juggernaut is frightened at the thought of fighting against them.

**Antihero** (ダークヒーロー, *Dāku Hīrō*) is the one hundredth and twenty fourth chapter of the *Fire Force* manga series.

## Summary

The chapter opens with a flashback to Victor Licht's time working in Haijima Industries Main Office. He is complimented for his thesis on Spontaneous Human Combustion and his conclusion, which he claims was the result of searching for the right answer until he found the truth. Sometime later, Licht walks alone at night and encounters Joker for the first time. Joker claims that Victor commitment to finding the answers is rooted in his sense of justice, which the scientist denies. He is only interested in the truth. Joker smiles and tells him that is exactly what a hero needs.

In the present day, Shinra is outraged that the discoveries made in his last adventure will be concealed from the public for the next three years by the church. While Akitaru Ōbi claims this is necessary to ensure social order, Licht smirks that firefighters can't defy orders. Meaning someone else needs to take action.

At night Company 7 searches for Captain Benimaru , with Konro hoping that he isn't going to be reckless. Standing on a rooftop, observing The Holy Sol Temple – Holy See, Benimaru and Joker discuss their plan of attack. While Benimaru appreciates Joker's blunt approach, he is confused by his willingness to attack the heart of the Empire while being a wanted criminal. Joker explains that he believes he has the right to know the truth about his Country's past and will dismiss morales and ethics to uncover it. He aims to uncover the true sacred scriptures hidden by Sol Temple, something Benimaru hasn't heard of before. Joker claims that he knows about the Sol Temple and turns to begin the attack.

Within the Holy See,Raffles III talks with his subjects about the role of the church within the world, the truth and Asakusa's respect for Benimaru . This discussion is interrupted by a loud noise, signalling the arrival of Benimaru. While Benimaru battles the monks of the temple, he talks with Joker about the dark sensation he feels within the Amaterasu . Which Joker smiles about, noting Benimaru's intuition.

Before they can advance beyond the courtyard, Benimaru collapses to the ground. Joker is bemused, as a large member of the church moves to confront the intruding pair and claims he will not offer them their last rites.

## Trivia

* Joker's first meeting with Licht mirrors the outlaw's second encounter with Shinra in Chapter 34: The Boy Knight.
* This is the first introduction to The Haijima Main Office and The Holy See.

119

* Race
* Q

**119** (119, ワンワンニャイン, *Wan Wan Nyain*) is a collective team-name for the mascots of The Fire Defense Agency.

## Overview

119 is a mascot team, initially made up of two dogs and a cat, which are affiliated with The Fire Defense Agency. Following complaints from the Defence Agency's upper management, the design of one of the mascots was changed from a dog to a elderly man who resembled a dog. Despite this modification the trio appear popular, with merchandise including balloons and action figures.

They made an appearance and represented The Fire Defense Agency at the Rookie Fire Soldier Games. Later a Mamoru ran into trouble with a group of college students who were upset about the serial killer Setsuo Miyamoto escaping punishment because of role as a fire-fighter. The group later appear in the Special Fire Force Training School under the control of Haumea to attack Shinra but are restrained by Captain Arg.

## Trivia

* The pronunciation of 119 (ワンワンニャイン, *Wan Wan Nyain*) is a pun on the onomatopoeia for "woof woof meow", given that there are two dogs and a cat on the team.
* 119 is the direct dial emergency number for connecting the caller to the Fire Brigade and Emergency Medical Services in Japan.
* While Karin attempts to attack Shinra in the Mamoru costume, it is doubtful he is the same person wearing the suit earlier in the series given how Karin antagonises Shinra while the pervious Mamoru was polite towards the boy. Implying there are multiple 119 teams with different people behind the masks.
Black Smoke

**Black Smoke** (黒煙, *Kokuen*) is the Ignition Ability of Yūichirō Kurono.

## Overview

By utilising his over excessively Tephrosis-infected arm, Kurono can emit black smoke in a variety of ways offensively; ranging from using it to hide himself to attack his opponents without being seen, and solidifying the smoke into objects such as knives and kunai. The smoke that he emits is also connected to his senses, allowing him to track movements that happen within the smoke.
Chapter 1

**First Run** (初現場, *Hatsu Genba*) is the first chapter of the *Fire Force* manga series.

## Summary

Shinra goes on his first official mission with the Special Fire Force Company 8, where the wife of the factory's manager has become an Infernal. After arriving on the scene, Akitaru warns the crew of the falling debris in the factory, in which the fire is taking place. Heading into the building, Shinra contemplates the act of destroying a Flame Human and how is is equivalent to killing a real person. Shortly after heading in, the force comes across the burnt corpse of the last employee of the factory whom they set out to save, who failed to escape, making their primary mission to extinguishing the threat. At the scene, Akitaru reminds Shinra the purpose of the blue lines. Distracted by Maki showing her Second Generation abilities, Shinra is caught off guard by the Flame Human who knocks him out, causing him to recall his past, before being woken up and told to stand up. Shinra finally decides to fight. With the squad cooperating in order to deal with the intelligent Flame Human, Shinra launches himself towards the enemy, igniting his feet in the process. The boy delivers a kick to the core of the Flame Human's heart, sending her to the afterlife in peace. He overhears the spectators chanting for him while the rest of the crew praises him, saying that he has finally become the hero he longed to be. Elated, Shinra shows off a delighted smile.

The **Adolla Burst** (アドラバースト, *Adora Bāsuto*), also known as the **Genesis Flame**, is a flame or energy that originates from Adolla. It is believed to be the original flame, and is regarded as being "pure and unsullied". Within the scientific community, it is referred to as the **Flames of Destruction**.

## Overview

Adolla Bursts originate from Adolla, a little-understood alternate dimension that is connected to the collective unconscious of humanity, and from which otherworldly entities, such as the Evangelist, originate. The true nature of the Adolla Burst is unknown and there is currently no specific explanation as to how the Adolla Burst differs from regular fire.

The Adolla Burst is unimaginably powerful and can be used to bring both creation and destruction; Adolla Bursts were undeniably the cause of the Great Cataclysm, a worldwide supermassive wildfire that nearly destroyed everything. They have also been used to restore vibrant life and greenery to an otherwise barren land. Furthermore, an Adolla Burst is the functional heart of the Amaterasu power plant and produces the unlimited energy enjoyed across all of the Tokyo Empire.

The Adolla Burst is in the possession of a select few Third Generation pyrokinetics who are believed to be descendants of the Sun God and his lineage. Being from an alternate realm, the Adolla Bursts do not conform to the physical laws of Earth; they grant a tremendous boost of strength to a pyrokinetic who has one, and in some cases can even enhance their abilities to grant amazing powers that would normally be impossible, even for pyrokinesis, such as cooling the heat that causes the natural expansion of the universe to slow down the flow of time, or heating up surrounding atoms to increase their mass to nullify gravity. People with an Adolla Burst can be located using a special parasite, or a device constructed by Haijima Industries.

The one unifying property of all Adolla Bursts is that they are connected with Adolla and, in turn, connected to everything else connected to Adolla, the realm of the collective minds, emotions, and perceptions of humanity. This is the source of the Adolla Link, a phenomenon that allows an individual to experience the realm of Adolla and connect with others through Adolla. An ordinary human cannot handle Adolla, feeling tremendously overwhelmed and losing an eye when exposed to the alternate realm. However, an individual with an Adolla Burst does not suffer these drawbacks and have a more "mundane" connection to Adolla.

## Trivia

* In the Hindi dub of the anime, Adolla Burst is renamed to **Pavitr Jwala** (पवित्र ज्वाला), which translates to "Divine Flame".
