Mr. Boyle

This man is a citizen of Tokyo.

## Personality

Mr. Boyle is very similar to his son in terms of attitude, choosing to use fantasy to escape the reality of his situation and showing a lack of common sense. After his family business failed, he chose to abandon his son to escape his debts while pretending that he was managing a resistance against the evils of Tokyo society. Even after reuniting with the child he left behind, Arthur's father remains upbeat and doesn't acknowledge his past mistakes.

## Background

While his family was in debt, he and his wife left their son Arthur a message saying they have gone on an adventure to save the world and that he is now king.

After leaving their son, Mr. Boyle and his wife traveled and began living in the Netherworld, where they then had an additional three children, another son, a daughter and a youngest son.

## Abilities

Arthur's father claims to be a Prophet due to his uncanny ability to understand what is happening in the wider world. Such as knowing about the Evangelist's plan with no interactions with her or her followers. By looking into his hat to escape reality, he can see beyond it and see both what he must do and what will happen.

## Plot

Medusa Whip

**Medusa Whip** is an Ignition Ability utilized by Orochi, a member of the White-Clad.

## Usage

Using this technique, Orochi can generate a whip made of flames, which she can then use for both offence and defense. It's been shown to possess incredible cutting strength, easily shearing through the turnout coats of the Special Fire Force, despite it being woven from flame-resistant material. Orochi can freely manipulate the shape of the whip at will, as she demonstrates when she morphs the whip into a rigid blade meant for stabbing instead of slashing.
Martensite

**Martensite** is an Ignition Ability used by Iron that allows him to strengthen his body and attacks.

## Usage

Martensite uses a similar process as flame hardening, a metalworking technique that utilizes heat to harden the surface of a metal object. By using his Third-Generation abilities to heat his body in much the same way, specifically the iron content in his body, Iron is able to increase the durability of his skin to the point of being able to shrug off gunfire.

A notable weakness of this ability is that Iron is unable to harden his joints, leaving them particularly vulnerable compared to the rest of his body when using Martensite. An observant opponent is able to exploit this weakness and target the soft parts of Iron's body to defeat him.

## Trivia

* Iron's Ignition Ability is named after martensite, an extremely hard form of steel crystalline structure.
* Martensite's inability to harden some parts of Iron's body might be a reference to the real-life process of flame hardening, which is prone to creating an extremely brittle zone between the heat-hardened metal and the unheated metal.

The giant's strength is limited by the humans that make it's base, such as an Infernal who had a strong body creating a stronger giant. These Infernals also have multiple cores, making them harder to destroy and demanding total destruction in order to be beaten. While Ritsu is able to manipulate the fusion process to trap a person inside the Giant Infernal and control the giant like she controls corpses, her captive can still use there abilities and could harm Ritsu or her allies.

## Trivia

Konro Sagamiya's Doppelgänger

This Infernal was a Demon that appeared in Asakusa. It is believed to be the Doppelgänger of Konro Sagamiya.

As a Demon Class Infernal, this Infernal's distinguishing characteristic were its large curved horns jutting out of its temples.

Before being destroyed, the Infernal used its horn to scar Konro's face and caused him to experience an Adolla Link.

## Abilities

As a Demon, the Asakusa Infernal was exceptionally powerful and was capable of matching Konro blow for blow. Alongside its great physical strength it was also extremely durable and could only killed by a huge explosion. Curiously, its First Generation pryokinetic abilites were identical to Konro's Third Generation powers. Enabling it to ignite his shoulders and forearms with a spiral-like flame in order to punch objects and targets with great force.

Overheat

**Ignition Limit** (発火限界, *Hakka Genkai*), also known as **Overheat** (発火限界（オーバーヒート）, *Ōbāhīto*), is a condition experienced by Third Generations as a result of overusing their Ignition Ability.

## Overview

The flames of ones Ignition Ability are fueled by the oxygen in their own body. Should an individual use up a considerable amount of oxygen, they cannot use their Ignition Abilities again until they've regathered the oxygen to do so. When one has overexerted their Ignition Ability, it can potentially lead to burning their own bodies and severe dehydration.

When a Third Generation overuses their ability, their body begins to char due to the lack of oxygen in the body. This is a type of disease called **Tephrosis** (灰病, *Haibyō*). The charring caused by Tephrosis appears to be permanent and in some cases, it prevents the Third Generation from using their ability without feeling a great amount of pain. Although, in certain cases, Tephrosis actually grants the victim new pyrokinetic abilities, such as generating smoke.

### List of Known People with Tephrosis

#### Konro Sagamiya

Lieutenant Konro Sagamiya of Special Fire Force Company 7 overheated during a battle with his Doppelgänger, a Demon Infernal. His upper torso was charred and he now cannot use his flames without causing himself great pain.

**The Holy Sol Temple – Holy See** (聖陽教会 教皇庁, *Seiyō Kyōkai Kyōkōchō*), or simply the **Holy See** (教皇庁, *Kyōkōchō*), is the main headquarters of the The Holy Sol Temple, where Raffles III and his apostles reside.

## Trivia

* The **Holy See** bears great resemblance to *Hallgrímskirkja*, a church located in Iceland.
Tōjō

**Tōjō** (灯城) is a soldier in the Tokyo Army stationed at Yokota.

## Appearance

Tōjō had short dark hair and soft facial features.

## Personality

Tōjō showed himself to be an empathic person who was very observant when it came to his unlikely friend's behaviour. Highlighting how Hinawa's kind nature shone through his cynical demeanour. Tōjō also admitted to Hinawa that his nature had lead to some heartbreak and seemed to enjoy reading. Unlike Hinawa, Tōjō held some religious beliefs during his time in the army and valued his own life. He had his handgun baptised by the Church, feeling that it made a difference to the person being shot. During his Infernal transformation, he begged to be killed before he lost all control.

## History

During a routine day at the Tokyo Military Base: Yokota, Tōjō and Sergeant Takehisa Hinawa discuss the merits of having their firearms baptised by the The Holy Sol Temple. While Hinawa dismisses the value of this action, while Tōjō has already had his handgun baptised and, despite not being part of Temple, feels like it is a meaningful gesture.

One night, Tōjō began a rapid transformation into an Infernal. When he encountered Hinawa partway through his metamorphosis, Tōjō begged his friend to kill him while he still had some control over himself. While Hinawa takes aim, he is unable to end his friend's life due to both his emotions and his inability to kill him with an unbaptised gun. During Hinawa's hesitation, a group of soldiers arrive and quickly destroy the still changing Tōjō with a hail of gunfire. After his death, Hinawa collected Tōjō's baptised handgun as a memento of his friend. This gun would later be used by Hinawa and Akitaru Ōbi to lay another Infernal to rest. This incident lead to the direct foundation of Special Fire Force Company 8.

## Legacy

Tōjō briefly appears a hallucination created by Mirage in an attempt to manipulate Hinawa. This fails as the memory of Tōjō actually fills the Lieutenant with hope and peace and drives him to finish his battle with Arrow.

## Etymology

* The surname **Tōjō** means "light" (灯) (**tō**) and "castle" (城) (**jō**).

## Chapter 6

Main article: Chapter 6

While inside the Haijima Industries, the stranger taunts Shinra about the incident twelve years prior, but the boy, despite his curiosity, orders the man to get away from the brigade members he injured. The strange man then threatens to kill the unconscious people, but Shinra uses his Third Generation abilities to make him fall back, though the man dodges all of the boy's kicks. The man then takes out a peculiar bottle from his pocket and asks Shinra to entertain him for information. While outside, Maki talks with Akitaru about the whereabouts of both Shinra and Arthur. They spot a participating Fire Officer, who uses his Ignition Ability to attack the building, while his Battalion Commander comments about him being a juggernaut. The explosions cause Tamaki, who was inside the building, to fall straight onto Arthur, making her get into an intimate situation yet again. She then lashes out at the boy for being a pervert, but Arthur tells her that he is not a cushion nor a sandbag. In the meantime, the mysterious man throws some sand at Shinra, which causes an explosion. The man uses it as a diversion to deliver devastating attacks at Shinra, using both martial arts and accelerating with the flames, generated by the explosion. He then creates card-shaped projectiles from the fire of his cigarette and throws them at Shinra, injuring him.

Tokyo Army

* Gustav Honda
* Maki Oze
* Takigi Oze

**The Imperial Tokyo Army** is the military organization that protects and defends the people and authority of Tokyo. They do not battle Infernals, like the Fire Force and Fire Defence Agency, but are focused towards more national defense efforts and work heavily with Special Fire Force Company 2 to carry out operations.

## History

Alongside The Holy Sol Temple and Fire Defence Agency, members of the three organizations formed the Special Fire Brigade. As a result, Special Fire Force Company 2 and Special Fire Force Company 8 are both directly under the military's control, with acting military personnel Gustav Honda and Maki Oze being involved in each respectively.

The current acting leader, Danrou Oze, the High General that serves in the Tokyo Army's Unified Military Operations Department,  speaks to discuss the possibility of uniting the three founding organizations to stop the White-Clad.

## Trivia

* They are the equivalent to the real world Japanese Self-Defense Forces.
Chapter 72

**The Bullet’s Trajectory** (弾丸の行方, *Dangan no Yukue*) is the seventy-second chapter of the *Fire Force* manga series.

## Summary

Shinra paces through the Netherworld trying to find Licht, and eventually finds him being held hostage by a White-Clad. Licht calls out for help, telling him to use the rapid technique. Before realizing, Shinra's feet were planted in the White Hood's face, and was left defeated, displaying Shinra's speed. After, they hear gun shots from afar, realizing that the others are also fighting against the White Hoods, and so the duo state that they can't hold back either. Elsewhere, shots are being off sporadically, as Hinawa and Arrow continue their long-distance battle. Takehisa takes note that he's in a dark spot, meaning Arrow's eyesight must be amazing. Hinawa is yet to hit Arrow yet. He makes a move into an old train, and makes his way toward Arrow's location. But before long, Arrow fires off an arrow toward the train, leaving Hinawa damaged as he attempts to jump out the window. Hinawa sits beside a pillar; and with his glasses destroyed, he can barely see. A black silhouette appears in the mist caused by the mass of explosions, and what seems to be his old friend, but Hinawa, strong-minded, is not fooled by this, and instead feels better after seeing his face. Preparing his final attack, he pulls out four large shotgun barrels, declaring he's about to make the fight overheat.

## Character Appearances

* Shinra Kusakabe
* Viktor Licht
* Takehisa Hinawa
* Arrow
* Mirage
* Yona
Whirl, Anna

**Whirl, Anna** is a technique used by Stream.

## Usage

Utilizing his first technique, Anna and Erika, Stream projects his fire tornadoes at the enemy, the rapidly circulating air stream inside acting as blades to cut up the enemy.

This technique is noted to be extremely useful against an ability user, as it utilizes blades of wind as its main form of offense instead of flames, something pyrokinetics have no immunity against.

Whirl, Anna is seemingly a weaker offensive technique, as it only lightly cut Tamaki through her vest.
The Holy Sol Temple

**The Holy Sol Temple** (聖陽教会, *Seiyō Kyōkai*) is the dominant religion of the Tokyo Empire, where Sisters, Priests and Monks worship Sol the Sun God. As a result, The empire's sovereign Raffles III is closely tied to the religion.

## History

The Holy Temple teaches that the Great Cataclysm burned away the culture of the world. Raffles I eventually found the Adolla Burst and used it to power Eternity-Style Thermal Power Generation "Amaterasu", which allowed the Tokyo Empire to become a safe haven for humans. After this point, Raffles would return to his wife and found the Holy Sol Temple. However, his wife noted that his behaviour changed dramatically upon returning.

It is later revealed that Raffles I was replaced by Yona, who founded the church to serve the Evangelist. The true purpose of the Holy Sol Temple was to stimulate despair and make people believe that "returning to the great flame of fire" is the ultimate fate of all those who live. An ideology that would perfectly fuel the fire of the second attempt of the Great Cataclysm, as the flames of Adolla are linked to the collective human unconscious.

Following the outbreak of Spontaneous Human Combustion, The Holy Sol Temple became one of the three organisations that formed the Special Fire Brigade, with members of the church praying for the souls of Infernals upon death. The members of the Special Fire Force refuse to kill infernals without a priest or sister present to say the sacred prayer. The Special Fire Force Company 1 is vastly composed of members from the temple. Furthermore, due to the Tokyo Empire's belief that only the Holy Sol Temple can provide medicine, the medically focused Special Fire Force Company 6 is also one of the Temple's constituents.

Some time after Hibana and Iris joined, the church they lived in caught fire and incinerated all the sisters except for the pair as the result of Spontaneous Human Combustion. The two surviving sisters fled, with Iris remaining part of the church while Hibana left to pursue her own goals.

In Year 184, the Temple's shadowy assassins observed the fire in the Kusakabe household. This group aimed to locate and kill the abducted Shō Kusakabe, but failed.

In Year 198, the priest of The Holy Sol Temple and two other church members attended the Rookie Fire Soldier Games, alongside other important figures.

The heart of the church is later assaulted by Benimaru Shinmon and the criminal, Joker.

## Trivia

* The known names of sisters who have attended The Holy Sol Temple are all based around flowers.
* Raffles III's claim that the White-Clad is a heretical faction is ironic as its leaders also founded the main religion.
Impera

**Impera** is a major military and industrial planet in the Republic of Pythas, having joined the nation alongside the other founding solar systems in 2580. Formed about four and a half billion years ago, Impera is a habitable terrestrial planet orbiting around the G-type-main-sequence star Tirioth in the Nova System. It is the first planet around the stars orbit, and only has one large satellite, Titan. Due to its closer position to its star, Impera has a day and year length that is shorter in comparison to Earth, but due to Tirioth being a dimmer and cooler star than Sol, Impera has large oceans and a relatively tropical and wet weather. Its population of roughly 6.3 billion makes it the second most populated planet in the Republic, and its wide economic and military facilities make it a major hub of activity and importance.

Impera today is an important hub for commercial and military activity. Its wealthy agriculture industry makes it one of the breadbaskets of the nation, producing a large chunk of the nations output of seafood and grown crops.

Impera was a relatively simple planet in the Terran Empire, its population of just about 5.8 billion in the 2570's made it a middle-sized power and of medium importance. Other than being a major producer of food and fuel, as well as housing one of the most prestigious military academies in the nation, Impera was overshadowed by its larger and more vital cousins, namely Tarsonis, during its time in the Terran Empire. After the empire collapsed, Impera was one of the founding planets of the Pythian Republic.
Velocity Rampage

**Velocity Rampage** (弾速暴走, *Dansoku Bousou*) is a Second Generation ability, used by Takehisa Hinawa.

## Usage

Utilising a powerful firearm, Takehisa is able to enhance the power of his shot by accelerating the speed of the bullet (or bullets) within the the gun. By using an external source of heat, such an attack by a member of the Third Generation, Takehisa's already supersonic shot becomes faster and even more powerful, resembling a huge laser beam as it files towards his opponent. The use of this technique completely destroys his shotgun, due to the sheer explosive force inside the gun blows it apart from the inside.
Tora Hishigi

**Tora Hishigi** is a hand sign taught to Shinra by Captain Benimaru.

## Overview

Shinra uses this hand sign to direct focus and power to his feet; this allows Shinra to use Rapid, which increases the thrust of his flames and compresses them into a single jet, as opposed to how his flames normally spread out in every useless direction, giving him an exponential boost in speed and power.

The hand sign is made by placing thumb across the palm of the hand and then touching the base of the thumb with the index finger.
The Holy Sol Obelisk

**The Holy Sol Obelisk** (聖陽オベリスク, *Seiyō Obirisuku*), also called **The Front of the 1st Special Fire Fighting Cathedral — The Holy Sol Obelisk**, serves as the front-yard of the 1st Special Fire Fighting Cathedral.

## Appearance

The Holy Sol Obelisk is a large plane of land that sits in front of the 1st's cathedral. The most notable construction in the area are the large obelisks which have a small crest at the top. There is also a fountain in the center of the area.
