Talking Head

**Talking Head** is a Third Generation technique used by Haumea.

## Overview

Using her electrical signals, Haumea can interpret the electrical signals within the brains of others to understand their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Using this technique she can manipulate others by speaking in accordance with their thoughts or feelings. The thoughts manifest in Haumea's head as key words and terms.

## Triva

* Like Radiohead, this technique shares a name with a notable English rock band. In this case, The Talking Heads.
Rapid

**Rapid** (ラピド, *Rapido*) is a Third Generation technique used by Shinra Kusakabe.

## Overview

By using the Tora Hishigi Kata, Shinra is able to condense his flames into a single jet blast, as opposed to how his flames normally spread out in every useless direction. This concentrated thrust grants Shinra an exponential boost in speed and allows him to fly farther and faster while using up less of his fire.

Since kinetic force equals mass multiplied by speed, the increased speed granted by Rapid makes his kicks that much stronger.
Radiohead

**Radiohead** (放射頭脳, レディオヘッド, *Redioheddo*) is a Third Generation technique used by Haumea.

## Overview

Using her electrical signals, Haumea is able to send thoughts and transmissions to her teammates from great distances. During the mission to capture the Fifth Pillar, Haumea sent signals to Charon and his team about Inca's location from a rooftop while they were on groundtop. Even when under attack, Haumea is able to easily send out her messages and coordinate.

## Triva

* Much like Haumea's Motor Head, this technique shares its name with a notable English rock band. In this case, Radiohead.
* When uses this ability, Haumea is seen rambling nonsensical in both Japanese and English. The reason of this is currently unknown.
Chapter 298

**Dear Lord** (神よ, *Kami yo*) is the two hundred and ninety eighth chapter of the *Fire Force* manga series.

## Character Appearances

* Shinra Kusakabe
* Haumea
* Evangelist
* Shō Kusakabe

Episode 41

**Boys, Be Weak** (少年よ、弱くあれ, *Shōnen'yo, Yowaku Are*) is forty-first episode of the *Fire Force* anime and the seventeenth episode of the second season.

## Summary

Shinra attacks the giant Infernal containing Nataku and uses the Adolla link to trigger the young boy's memories. Nataku recalls his mother's oppressive expectations for him to excel, and the similar pressure he felt pressure from Kurono in the Haijima research facility. Nataku resents these feelings and increases the intensity of his radiation, firing a mighty blast which threatens to destroy the entire region. However, it is intercepted by Charon who first absorbs and then redirects the blast towards the moon. Meanwhile, Kurono fears that Nataku is becoming too strong and creates a huge katana from black smoke which he uses to cut the Infernal to pieces and extracts Nataku. He tells the boy to stay weak and able to be bullied, releasing Nataku from his mother's unreasonable expectations. On Charon's command, the White Clad withdraw, leaving Nataku to Haijima under Kurono's care. Company 8 has a meeting with President Gureo Haijima who casually admits that he knows Amaterasu is powered by a human which is why Haijima are seeking a person possessing the Adolla Burst to create another version. Vulcan interrupts and announces that he can design a unit which does not require a human power source. Haijima agrees to fund it in return for ownership and even offers to help Company 8 in its quest against the Evangelist who poses a threat to Haijima’s profitability.
Sputter Comet☆

**Sputter Comet☆** (プスプスこめっと☆, *Pusu Pusu Kometto☆*) is a Second Generation attack used by Maki Oze.

## Usage

Using the flames that were launched at her, Maki creates a large comet-shaped Sputter, which is then launched at the target. This technique utilises both offense and defense, as the incoming flames are redirected from the user to their original source.
Special Fire Force Company 7

* Hikage
* Hinata
* Konro Sagamiya (Lieutenant)

The **Special Fire Force Company 7** (第7特殊消防隊, *Dai Shichi Tokushu Shōbōtai*) is the seventh regiment of the Special Fire Force. They are an independent company stationed at Special Fire Guardhouse 7 in Asakusa.

Like other brigades, it is tasked to extinguish and purify the souls of Infernals and unravel the secrets of the Spontaneous Human Combustion.

## Overview

Unlike the other Fire Force Companies, the 7th acts completely independent. Captain Benimaru claims they swear no loyalty to the Tokyo Empire or the Holy Sol religion. According to Obi, they never show up to any type of meeting. When the emperor calls upon all the companies for an emergency conference, Benimaru even interrupted and left immediately after the meeting started.

Benimaru refers to his group as the "neighborhood watch", as they watch over Asakusa and extinguish any fires in that area. Rather than offering up a prayer, buildings are destroyed as offerings for the tragedy. Most of the citizens in Asakusa know Benimaru personally and would be grateful to have "Waka" put them to rest should they ever infernalize.

## Missions

Suppress an Infernal in Asakusa
* **Participants:** Benimaru Shinmon.
* **Mission Status:** Success.

A citizen in Asakusa named Kantarō infernalizes and starts a fire in the district. Benimaru leads the Hikeshi and begins a festival to put their fallen friend to rest. Several blocks are destroyed in the process, but Benimaru ultimately puts the infernal to rest without incident.

## Trivia

* Their appearance and equipment are based on the *hikeshi*, fire patrols that were active during the Edo period in Japan. Particularly they carry *matoi* (flagpoles used to signal the location of fires and rally other patrols to them) with the kanji for "seven" (七) written on them.
	+ The specific practice of destroying buildings as "offerings" when someone becomes and Infernal is a direct reference to the history of fire fighting in this time period. Historically, *hikeshi's* primary method of firefighting was to demolish buildings surrounding those already ablaze to prevent fire from spreading.

Special Fire Force Company 3

* Flail
* Mirage

The **Special Fire Force Company 3** (第3特殊消防隊,  *Dai San Tokushu Shōbōtai*) is a Special Fire Force in Tokyo that is heavily influenced by Haijima Industries.

## History

By Year 196, Company 3 had developed an internal scoring system for killing Infernals based on the missions difficulty. While on a mission to put two Infernals to rest, a commanding officer belittles a firefighter and focuses on the more active infernal while leaving the pacifistic Infernal to suffer. While Company 3 conduct their hunt, Akitaru Ōbi and Takehisa Hinawa put the peaceful Infernal to rest. This incident leads to the foundation of Special Fore Force Company 8.

The Company attends the Rookie Fire Soldier Games in Year 198, where new Fire Soldiers participate in the simulation competition. The brigade later confronts a giant Infernal and Captain Giovanni attends a meeting of Fire Force captains.

Some time later, Giovanni meets with Vulcan at his workshop. After their talk, Giovanni orders two of his officers to the building attack to obtain the Key to Amaterasu. His men dress as members of the White Hoods and lay siege to the workshop. This brings Giovanni and his men into conflict with members of Company 8 and Captain Hibana of Company 5. Following their escape, Shinra informs Akitaru that Giovanni is a traitor and a member of the Ashen Order. In the aftermath of his discovery, Giovanni flees to join with the Order and many members of Company 3 leave with him. Imply they were all agents of the Preacher.

To cover up these events, the Haijima arranges a press conference claiming that the Giovanni who attack Vulcan's family was an impostor. Due to Haijima backing the Company, there is no way for the government to investigate how deep the corruption runs with Company 3. However, Vulcan claims that the unmasked captain at the conference is not the real Giovanni.

An **Ignition Ability** (発火能力, *Hakka Nōryoku*) is an ability granted to Second Generation and Third Generation pyrokinetics.

## Overview

An Ignition Ability is the unique way in which a pyrokinetic uses their ability to manipulate flames. Even though the principle of generating fire is kept the same, each pyrokinetic utilizes their flames in a certain way; such as by generating flames from certain body parts, such as their shoulders or feet, utilizing their flames in conjunction with a certain type of object, and/or utilize if special variants of fire, such as electricity, plasma, or explosions, among other variants of fire manipulation.

While pyrokinetics are immune to being burned, they still feel heat. The firepower generated can be intertwined with the physiological state of the user, as Arthur Boyle relies on himself looking like a knight in order to maximize his generated power.

## Weaknesses

Ignition Abilities have their restrictions on the length and intensity of their use, also known as **Ignition Limit** (発火限界, *Hakka Genkai*). Once the individual has used up a considerable amount of the oxygen within their body, which is what fuels their flames, they cannot use their Ignition Abilities until they've regathered more.

When one has overexerted their Ignition Ability, it will cause them to **Overheat** (発火限界（オーバーヒート）/発火限界, *Ōbāhīto*) leaving them out of breath, and potentially burning their own bodies and inflicting them with severe dehydration. Additionally, when a Third Generation user overuses their ability, their bodies begin to char due to the lack of oxygen. This is a type of disease called **Tephrosis** (灰病, *Haibyō*). Victims of Tephrosis are severely weakened in their ability to use their Ignition Abilities as it leaves them in intense pain.

As a follower of The Holy Sol Temple, he has surrendered his body to the Sun God and holds the Holy Sol Temple in great regard. After the Great Cataclysm, Raffles regards the temple as the beacon of civilization that holds the world together after everything was lost during the cataclysm and a symbol of hope. Due to his faith, he holds a strong distaste and intolerance for those who act against the church and its teachings. Sharing a different view to the citizens of Asakusa, he considers them for worshipping a God of Destruction and refusing to be led by the church as heretics and often considers forcing them to follow the ways of the church or be destroyed.

## Plot

### Preacher Pursuit arc

After hearing about the situation with the White Hoods and artificial Infernals, Raffles III demanded his attendants to gather all of the Battalion Commanders of the Special Fire Force to discuss the matter. Once gathered, Raffles III commands all of the Fire Brigades to search for the preacher, the person behind all of the sudden and evil occurrences, and put a stop to his plans.

### VS Holy Sol Temple arc

After explaining why he has surrendered his body to the Sun God to a church member at the The Holy Sol Temple – Holy See, Raffles questioned if the people of Asakusa still reject the grace of Amaterasu. Being informed that the cardinals haven't provoked Benimaru Shinmon, Raffles wondered why the town would worship such a destroyer. Immediately after, he is notified that Benimaru is attacking the compound, much to his confusion. During the assault, Raffles escapes to the Netherworld through a secret entrance underneath the church.
Special Fire Cathedral 8

The **Special Fire Cathedral 8** (第8特殊消防教会, *Dai Hachi Tokushu Shōbō Kyōkai*) is the headquarters of the Special Fire Force Company 8, located in Tokyo.

## Appearance

The Special Fire Company 8's headquarters is an imposing building, located somewhere in Tokyo, that resembles a cathedral. As far as the exterior design is concerned, on each side of the building's entrance resides a small tower-like structure with a feminine statue in the middle and pointy protrusions jutting upwards at the top, while in front of it there is a big yard. Above the cathedral's door, there are several unknown objects, with some seeming to be simple decorations and some to be lights. In both front corners of the main building there are two enormous towers with peaked tops, that appear to have small windows. In the middle of the building, there is a huge cross-like symbol and eight windows in total, two on the left side, two on the right side and four below the symbol; the same symbol appears again at the roof and right above the door. The building also possesses an attic which is ornately decorated on the front side with four arched windows, six sharp bars, three on each side and a big, a round window with seemingly flower petals carved all around it and the cross symbol at the very top. From the tiled roof two more protrusions jut upwards on the building's angles, one in each side. The cathedral was mentioned to look run-down by Shinra.

Next to the main building from the right side there is a garage with the Special Fire Force Company 8's Special Armoured Fire Engine; it has two arched entrances and on top of it there is an enormous, seemingly metallic structure with the number "8" on it. On the other side of the main building, there are several towers that connect to it with flying buttresses.

Little has been shown of the inside of the building so far but there is a room where the Fire Soldiers can work out, a bathroom, several bedrooms, one for each member, a huge hall and an office.

The rooftop.The office room.

Sakura

**Sakura** (さくら) is a former sister of St. Raffles Convent.

## Appearance

While human, Sakura was a young girl with freckles that wore a habit. Upon turning into an Infernal, she manifested black skin and horns.

## Background

Due to Sumire's experiments, Sakura was turned into a Demon Infernal.

## Plot

### Post-Ōbi's Rescue arc

While Hibana confronted Sumire for her actions against the sisters of St. Raffles Convent, Sakura and other Demon Infernals appeared beneath Sumire until the Fire soldiers escaped.

## Etymology

* The name **Sakura** means "cherry blossoms, decoy" (さくら) in Hiragana.
	+ However, when written in kanji (桜 or 咲良), it could possibly mean:
		- 桜 - "cherry blossom".
		- 咲良 - "blossom" (咲) (**saku**) and "good, virtuous, respectable" (良) (**ra**).
Sputter

**Sputter** (プスプス, *Pusu Pusu*) is the name of the sentient fireball that Maki Oze creates using her abilities as a Second Generation.

## Usage

Pusu Pusu takes the form of a small floating fire-blob that generates the sound of crackling fire. Though the technique isn't lethal, it can knock down and subdue an individual.  It can also be used defensively, by utilising the flames of an enemy to become this. With enough flames, the technique can generate a gigantic, horrendous-looking fireball.

## Trivia

* The creature's appearance has a similar appearance to the soul of Maka Albarn, a main character from Atsushi Ōkubo's previous work, Soul Eater. The creature also shares its voice actress with Maka.
* **Pusu Pusu** ("プスプス") is onomatopoeia of crackling fire.
* The huge fireball creature, produced using Pusu Pusu and Third Generation flames, can somehow bleed, despite being made out of fire. This is most likely for comedic effect.
* In the subtitles, as well as English dub, Pusu Pusu’s name is changed to Sputter.

Non Self

**Non-Self** is a technique used by Arthur Boyle.

Tabernacle

The **Tabernacle** (御神体, *Goshintai*) is a generator. Due to it giving life to the Oasis, the animals that reside in the forest revere it as their god. It bares a striking resemblance to the Amaterasu of the Tokyo Empire in appearance and function.

## Overview

The Tabernacle is a large thermal power station. Its primary use is to provide life to the surrounding area. While it resembles Amaterasu, it is also worn down, lacking much of the decorations, and is surrounded by damaged pillars.

There is a metal door that leads inside the building. Its circular corridors and hallways are being preserved by the animals of the area. The sequence for Pi is carved into the walls and floor on the corridors. The heart of the generator is found in its inner circle, it resembles a large bonus with Torii gates leading to a locked entrance. The key to the door is shaped like a white-fletched arrow, of which there are eight.

## History

The Tabernacle existed before The Evangelist came to Earth 250 years ago. Once it was repaired, The Woman in Black sealed herself inside and used her powers to build the Oasis and ease the suffering of the animals in the area. This allowed animals there to live for centuries and for plant life to survive and grow, despite the surrounding area being unstable molten rock. The Lady still lives on within the structure.

Eventually the animals were driven out by Tempe and his cult of Infernals, who hoped the destruction of the Tabernacle would cause an explosion powerful enough to kill them all. Weakened and unable to fight back herself, the Woman's Grace allows the Fire Soldiers investigating the area to defeat the Demon and restore order before sleeping once again. Using the information gathered from their expedition, the Fire Force return to Tokyo with a better understanding of the Pillars and their role in The Evangelist's scheme.

## Trivia

* Tabernacle is term found in the Hebrew Bible, also referred to as the Tent of the Congregation or Tent of Meeting. It is a movable location that acts as a place for God to dwell on Earth.
* In some Christian churches, a Tabernacle is the locked box in which the Eucharist (Last Supper) is stored. This consists of consecrated wine and wafers which symbolically represent the body and the blood of Christ.

Second Generation

The **Second Generation** (第二世代, *Dainisedai*) are people who have adapted to Spontaneous Human Combustion, and instead of becoming an Infernal, they awakened the ability to manipulate and control existing flames.

As with the Third Generation, they sport higher physical capabilities as well as being more resilient to damage, along with natural immunity to flames. Because of their unique abilities, Second Generations usually become Fire Soldiers in the Special Fire Force.

However, unlike Third Generation pyrokinetics, they cannot generate their own flames.

## Overview

Second Generation pyrokinetics possess the ability to manipulate preexisting flames, whether it's ordinary fire or fire produced by First and Third Generation pyrokinetics. Some members of the Second Generation are powerful enough to manipulate flames on a large scale and from far away.

Like the Ignition Abilities used by members of the Third Generation, it seems all Second Gens use their abilities in their own unique way. This included amplifying flames for greater attack power, redirecting flames so as to avoid injury and/or property damage, and extinguishing flames entirely. The unique abilities they use are known to somewhat depict their personalities.

Second Generations are known to be more skilled in the manipulation of flames compared to Third Generation pyrokinetics. Examples of this include Karim being able to remove heat from his surroundings to create ice, and Charon being able to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy. Maki is even able to grant fire sentience.

Their ability to control outside fire gives them an advantage in battles against other flame users. Second Generations such as Maki Oze have been noted to be an effective defence or counter-attack. When fighting against a Third Generation, it's ideal to hide the fact that they're a Second Generation, in order to trick their opponent into using their flames.

Special Fire Force Company 6

* Asako Arg

The **Special Fire Force Company 6** (第6特殊消防隊, *Dai Roku Tokushu Shōbōtai*) is a Special Fire Force located in the Tokyo Empire. Due to The Holy Sol Temple's stance that only the church can provide medication, Company 6 is backed by the Holy Sol Temple but it is only barely affiliated with them by a mutual public relations move on both their parts. In addition to ensuring public safety from the threat of  Spontaneous Human Combustion, Company 6 also runs a hospital to help those with ignition abilities who are injured during their duties.

## Overview

Company 6 is lead by Kayoko Huang both in battle and in the operating room, who is respectfully referred to as Ma'am by her subordinates. They work to protect areas such as the Iidabashi district of Tokyo. Some members of staff work as both Fire Soldiers and hospital staff, although they mostly appear separate.

When dealing with an Infernal, they travel to the scene in white vans and trucks resembling ambulances. Before striking, their Fire Soldiers gather information on the behavior of Infernal and the timeline of events. Unusually for Fire Company, they leave all religious aspects of their exorcisms for a priest to perform after the Infernal was been defeated and the soldiers focus on defeating the target quickly.

## History

When Shinra is stabbed through the chest by Haumea, Akitaru takes him to the 6th to treat him. At that time, they are currently dealing with infernals. After dealing with them they tend to Shinra. While the other doctors believe it is his time, Kayoko treats him with her ability.
Nekomata

**Nekomata** (ネコマタ) is a Ignition Ability used by Tamaki Kotatsu.

## Usage

Tamaki ignites pink fire around her body in the shape of cat ears, two forked tails and flames on her fingertips which increase her speed and mobility substantially. Through this process, she is granted the ability to surround her target with flames or use such flames as an offensive force via the two tails. The tails can also be extended to high lengths, for such things as sending a distress signal.

## Trivia

* Nekomata (猫又, *forked-cat*) is an animal yōkai in Japanese folklore, and is known to have the abilities to speak the human language and shape-shift. These yōkai were also said to have gained the powers of necromancy, and had been associated with strange fires and other unexplainable occurrences.
Sakko

**Manga** | When All's Said and Done

**Sakko** was a citizen of Asakusa.

## Background

Soley raising her son in Asakusa, she turned into an Infernal during his childhood, leading to the Asakusa Fire Fighters being dispatched to her location and Hibachi Shinmon killing her. As a result, the boy later stabbed Hibachi in the back.
Pillar

* Haumea
* Inca Kasugatani
* Iris
* Nataku Son
* Shinra Kusakabe
* Shō Kusakabe
* Sumire
* Woman in Black

A **Pillar** (柱, *Hashira*) is a certain pyrokinetic individual who possesses an Adolla Burst. They are each protected by a Guardian from various organizations.

## Adolla Burst

The Adolla Burst is a flame that originates from the realm of Adolla, also known as hell. The exact nature of the Adolla Burst remains unknown, however it has been referred to as a "pure and unsullied flame".

It is being in possession of an Adolla Burst that makes someone a Pillar. However, not all people who possess an Adolla Burst are pillars; Faerie possesses an Adolla Burst, but he is not a pillar. It is currently unknown what differentiates a pillar from an Adolla Burst possessor who is not a pillar.

The Adolla Burst allows them to connect with Adolla and with each other through the Adolla Link. Under the right conditions, it also greatly enhances their pyrokinetic abilities, allowing them to achieve feats that would otherwise not be possible, such as the manipulation of time and gravity.

### Great Cataclysm

It was the flame of Adolla that burned across the world during the Great Cataclysm. It was meant to completely burn the world to ashes, but the endeavor was a failure due to the number and strength of the Pillars at the time. It is theorized and confirmed that if the current eight pillars come together with the Evangelist, a second Great Cataclysm will occur. Each of the Pillars embodies a different negative human emotion. These emotions, born from humanity themselves, are what fuel the fires of the Great Cataclysm.

Sumire experimented for over two hundred and fifty years to have all the Pillars assembled, with the Eighth Pillar being the final one, in order to successfully recreate the event.

This could be due to her husband's affiliation with the building and having a personal affection towards it.

Stigma

* Leonard Burns
* Sōichirō Hague
* Konro Sagamiya
* Kayoko Huang

**Stigma** *(*スティグマ, *Sutiguma)* refers to the physical mark left on the body of a human as an after-effect of performing an Adolla Link.

## Overview

When a human who doesn't possess the Adolla Burst performs an Adolla Link, the experience leaves lasting physical damage and can be extremely different from individual to individual. People who possess Stigma are essentially marked as those who bore witness to Adolla, and bearers of the Adolla Burst can easily perform Adolla Links with Stigma-bearers, as Shinra Kusakabe was able to sense Konro Sagamiya's plea for help across Asakusa through one such link.

In recent times, the White-Clad have taken steps to eliminate those who bear a Stigma, as their knowledge about Adolla is a potential threat to their plan of bringing about a Second Cataclysm. This threat was demonstrated by Stigma bearers being able to influence events happening in Adolla though an Adolla Link, although the strain proved to be fatal. Some have also learned to use the markings as a means of gazing into Adolla and learning key information from Adolla, such as the Evangelist's true nature, while remaining on Earth.

### List of Stigmas and their bearers:

Motor Head

**Motor Head** is a Third Generation technique used by Haumea.

## Overview

Using her electrical signals, Haumea can stimulate the dopamine and deta-endorphin of a targeted individual. This results in heightened aggression and lowered inhibitions. However, she is unable to explicitly control how the subject of this stimulation will actually react.

If Haumea is unable to send the necessary signals; the effects of the technique will eventually wear off, allowing the target to regain control of themselves and return to normal.

## Triva

* Like Radiohead, this technique shares a name with a notable English rock band. In this case, Motörhead.
Tear in Space

The **Tear in Space** is a not fully understood phenomenon located on the Chinese Peninsula. It is only accessible to otherworldly beings, such as the Evangelist.

## Overview

The Tear In Space appears as a transparent barrier across the landscape of the Peninsula. When looking at the Map of the post-Cataclysm world, the tear in space follows a visible line across the peninsula which resembles a segment of the land having been cut out and remaining segments lined up against each other. It is not currently known if the Tear is local only to the Chinese Peninsula, or is in fact a boundary line that runs around the circumference of the planet itself.

Notably, the ground on the other side of the Tear in Space is brighter in color. Nothing else about the interior is clear, but since the Evangelist emerged from the boundary, it is likely that the other side is connected to Adolla. After Tempe failed to enter the area, he determined that humans cannot pass through the Tear. Interestingly, when the Evangelist came through, she was not visible on the opposite side of the Tear.
Mari Kusakabe

**Mari Kusakabe** is a citizen of Tokyo, that transformed into a Demon Infernal.

## Appearance

Before becoming an Infernal, Mari had shoulder length black hair, sharp teeth and soft eyes.

## Personality

Mari was a very caring for towards her two sons. Encouraging Shinra’s dreams of being a hero and always being attentive towards the newborn Shō. However, she would lightly scold Shinra if the need the need arose, telling him to sit further away from the television and would remind him that misbehaving children are sent away to The Nether when he didn't do his chores.

## Background

While a teenager, Mari unexplainably feel pregnant, leading to many doubting her claim that it was a virgin pregnancy including her mother. She gave birth to Shinra in Year 178, and in Year 183 gave another virgin birth to son Shō. The Holy Sol Temple successfully put pressure on Shinjuku Community Center to not report the story.

In the following year, after witnessing Shō surrounded by the Adolla Burst flames, she turned into a Demon Infernal with two curly white horns, a skeletal spine that also connected to her long spiky tail. Afterwards, she died, despite both her sons surviving the act that was evidently caused by Haumea. Shinra was saved from the Inferno by Leonard Burns and after making use of his Third Generation abilities in the moment of chaos, jolted towards the wall and knocked himself out, leading him to forget the majority of the events. Shō (presumed to be dead) was taken by the Evangelist. Witnessing her death traumatized Shinra, leaving him with his nervous grin but a burning desire to save people and uncover who killed her. While Shō claims to have no memory of his mother, having been raised by The Preacher and viewing it as his only parent.

## Plot

### Kusakabe History arc

At the time Shō was investigating his family records, Mari has an Adolla Link with him.
Iron

## Abilities

Being a Third Generation, Iron has access to a range of Ignition Abilities, granting him the ability to create flames that are strong enough to completely incinerate corpses, as well as to increase the endurance of his body.

## Plot

### Joint Investigation arc

Upon the Special Fire Force Company 2 and Company 8 entering the Netherworld and being assaulted by Ritsu's corpses, Iron incinerates the dead attacking Takehisa Hinawa and Takigi Oze, before setting his attention of the pair. Announcing his presence, his body withstands being shot at by Takehisa. Iron engages the two men in a violent fight, utilizing his superior abilities as a Third-Generation to drive his opponents into a corner. Takehisa eventually realizes that Iron is unable to harden his joints, leaving them vulnerable. He then uses his own ability to shoot the White-Clad in his vulnerable weak-points, ending the fight. As Iron falls, he laments that "this" was the reason why he couldn't become a Guardian.

## Trivia

* Like other members of the White-Clad, Iron's name is in relation to an ability he possesses, his being Iron's self described steel body.

Severed Universe

**Severed Universe** (斬（キ）リ離（ハナ）シタ宇宙（ウチュウ）, *Kirihanashita Uchū*) is a Fourth Generation ability used by Shō Kusakabe.

## Overview

By cooling the area around his body, Shō is able to greatly reduce the heat that causes the natural expansion of the universe and ''chill'' it. As a result, he is able to pause the flow of time. Time does not slow down for Shō himself, however; he remains at normal speed.

As an example, if Shō slows time to a third its normal speed, then things around Shō will appear to him as if they are moving three times slower; while Shō's opponents perceive him moving three times faster. As a result, Shō's normal movements appear untraceably fast to his opponents and they appear to move in slow motion from Shō's perspective. This technique allows him to travel a short distance and strike in under a second.

### Weaknesses

Despite its great power, Severed Universe has several limitations.

* Severed Universe requires chilling the surrounding area to such a low temperature, Shō's body begins to freeze after short usage. This forces Shō to avoid using it for extended periods of time and it must be deactivated in order to thaw out the ice forming on his body. This ice almost instantly becomes steam upon contact with the now warm air, which can serve as a clue to understanding the machinations of his ability.
* Objects moving at a speed that defies the laws of physics are able to bypass Severed Universe, as time at any speed cannot affect them or their movement. If a light speed attack launches before or during Severed Universe's use, its instant effect will happen regardless of how time is being manipulated.
* As a Fourth Generation ability, it normally requires a connection to the Evangelist in order to function. If the Evangelist breaks this connection, Severed Universe cannot be activated. This activation condition wasn't required during the lead up to the second Great Cataclysm due to the effect of Adolla's proximity.
