Burning Rescue

**Burning Rescue,** alternatively called **FDPP** or **Fire Department Promepolis**, is a firefighting organization created in order to protect the city of Promepolis. They are in charge of putting out Burnish fires, whether they be Mad Burnish or not. According to Freeze Force's captain, Vulcan, they can not do a proper arrest as that is what Freeze Force is for. They are specifically in charge of preventing fires from spreading.

## Known Members

* Ignis - Team captain of Group 3 as indicated by everyone's uniform.
* Remi - Vice-captain of Group 3. Also participates in rescues.
* Varys - Heavy machinery rescuer of Group 3. Sometimes cooperates with Lucia.
* Lucia - Engineer and inventor of Group 3. Dispatches rescuers and does repairs.
* Aina - Pilot of Group 3. Collects survivors and fellow co-workers during rescues.
* Galo - Rookie of Group 3. Only one to have Matoi Tech.
* Vinny - Mascot of Burning Rescue. Typically with Lucia during rescues.

## Armory

Most of Burning Rescue's gear appears to be government hand-me-downs, as Vulcan is seen mocking the group for not having the same equipment as Freeze Force. However, Lucia is also shown creating machinery for her team. Galo's Matoi Tech is an example of this. Nonetheless, besides Aina's ship, most machinery can launch out large ice projectile bullets that either put out fires or restrain. The latter is only in the case of Mad Burnish members. Galo, Aina and Ignis have with them a handgun that does the same. None of the equipment used does mortal damage unlike Freeze Force.

Varys and Remi's armor is able to lift up large debris and carry survivors from within. Galo's, on the other hand, is unable to do this. Rather his acts as a faster version of theirs at the cost of no storage units. Both Aina's ship and the Burning Rescue truck have multiple screens that allow the operator to analyze the situation. Aina's can be converted into a motorcycle as the seat is one. This is only done in rare instances. All machinery is kept in garages at the National Rescue and Fire Prevention Bureau.

## Trivia

* A common misconception is the group is 'anti-Burnish,' however they are unauthorized to do arrests and are only in charge of preventing property damage. This also goes against the group's beliefs that the Burnish are misunderstood. Furthermore, Mad Burnish sees the firefighters as 'snowflakes' or 'buzzkills,' and aren't seen as a threat by them unlike Freeze Force.
Eramorp

**eramorp**, in all lowercase, is an exclusive song in the album *Promare Original Soundtrack Remix & Rearrange CD.* It is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano with lyrics written by cAnON and sung by naNami. It is the only song on the album to not have a previous version or appear in the movie.

## Background

For limited editions of the Japanese Blu-ray, the collection comes with the movie's original script and a remix album of various songs. However, there was also the inclusion of a new song used as a selling point. eramorp is said song. Reversing the song's title reveals it to be 'promare.'

The lyrics only make mention of events and characters in the movie. For example, "Has no foresight" refers to Kray Foresight.

## Lyrics

 If my heart ain’t dead alreadyMight my time hasn’t yet to comeLet me hear you shout out loud, so loudLet me be your wedge to bind around the world

Krazor-X

**Krazor-X** is a super-weapon mecha Kray Foresight uses against Galo and Lio in their fight. The original purpose was to create land. It's name was given by Galo.

## Appearance

"Krazor-X" is a mecha built into the Parnassus' bridge tower. Stories taller than most buildings, it is of a white palette with blue segments. The head is shrunk between its metal plates akin to a turtle. Both arms are equipped with grapplers. On the right arm is a yellow bar. It's back is adorned with a blue tank, likely containing freezing properties.

As its main purpose is terraforming, the feet are made for dirt surfaces. Flat construction wheels can be seen. Inside its chest are various mechanisms such as the Genocide Cultivation Beam and means of freezing surfaces.

## History

As the Parnassus raises into the night sky, Kray is notified of a unidentifiable flying object heading towards the ship. He attempts to shoot it down, only for the mech to transform into Lio de Galon. Galo and Lio attempt to attack the ship and bridge's tower. As Kray becomes more agitated, he finally decides to activate his ultimate weapon. As the tower transforms, Lio de Galon is sent falling into the flying city.

The trio proceed to fight, causing havoc and destruction. As the minutes go on, Kray is left more and more frustrated by Galo and Lio and attacks with murderous intent. When Galo and Lio get the advantage, both bots are sent flying into the air by Heris' betrayal. Their fight is sent back up to the Parnassus' roof.

Here, Kray resorts to freezing Galo and Lio to death instead. With Deus X Machina's cannon arm though, both mechs are left frozen in place.

## Abilities

* **Grappling:** During Lio de Galon and Krazor-X's fight, the latter is shown grabbing buildings and punching.
* **Ice Gun:** At one point, Kray shoots frozen blocks of ice at Galo and Lio. The duo easily slice them with their Matoi though. He may also use it to create barriers for protection.
* **Pulverizing Pile Driver:** The Pulverizing Pile Driver is the bar on Krazor-X's right arm frozen. It is used as a hand weapon instead of a projectile.
* **Genocide Cultivation Beam:** When used by Kray, a beam of light shoots out from the mech. Anything hit by it is reverted into dirt via terraforming.
* **Absolute Zero Beam:** In a last ditch effort to defeat Galo and Lio, Kray activates an icy beam that is powerful enough to destroy Burnish Armor plating.

Sunglasses Mad Burnish Member

The **Sunglasses Mad Burnish Member**, or **Sunglasses Burnish** by some fans, is a brief minor character in the short *Lio-hen*. This makes him one of the few OVA exclusive characters in *Promare* related media.

He cooperates with Mad Burnish to protect their fellow Burnish.

## Personality

As a member of Mad Burnish, he is depicted with a hard-boiled personality. Despite this, his aims follow the same as his generals: protect their fellow Burnish and cause havoc on the Foresight Foundation. For this, when the group first leaves for Promepolis, the member himself can be seen taking a bite out of his own flames, implying a rebellious and thrill-seeking side. He cares for his fellow members and is shown acting as watchman.

## Appearance

He is a man with a brown complexion alongside an auburn goatee and hairstyle. His most prominent feature is his blue-tinted sunglasses which cover his eyes. He stands around the same height as Gueira or Meis. In terms of build, the chest is toned with the rest being average. He wears an all black jumpsuit featuring a thin belt and trekking boots. Like his fellow non-generals, his armor consists of a motorcycle helmet streaming yellow flames.

## History

### *Lio-hen*

At the beginning of the short, the sunglass-wearing man and his fellow colleagues drive off into Promepolis in excitement. Here, the group lights various buildings ablaze, specifically a local Foresight Pharmaceutical. At the arrival of Burning Rescue though, Gueira orders all non-general units to head out as they deal with the group.

At a deserted building, they are all seen once more keeping guard for non-Mad Burnish members. From this, a discussion occurs from a recently turned Thyma. She accidentally lights the generals ablaze who show no response. As they offer to let her join them, the sunglasses Burnish man signals Gueira to Freeze Force's arrival. They proceed to ride off to distract them. However, this soon falls apart as the likes of Thyma are abducted. Then Gueira and Meis themselves are frozen. This then leaves their troops who can only watch in fear. A sudden flaming arrow then shoots from above.

Lio Fotia arrives on the scene, saving all Mad Burnish members and fighting off Freeze Force. As he does this, he refuses to kill and as they all escape. Atop a desert cliff, the group confronts Lio on his actions. He claims that to kill would result in further mistreatment against the Burnish. At this, Lio instead offers the idea of forming a separate city where none can interfere. All members thus agree to have him as their new leader.

Inside the establishment is various tables and an area for chefs. At the employee counter is various dishes on display. Pizzas are put inside a large pizza oven built of red bricks.

## History

### *Promare*

After the capture of Mad Burnish, Galo and company head to a local pizzeria. There, they order the Inferno Volcano Margherita Megamax Pizza. Pops soon begins to discuss the Mad Burnish incident, commenting that not all Burnish are bad. Burning Rescue shares this sentiment. The conversation soon shifts to Kray and Heris due to the imagery regarding the Foresight Foundation amidst the city signs.

However, suddenly Freeze Force arrives. They then begin to pursue and handcuff the Burnish employee cook. Pops attempts to stop this, only to be revealed to have been harboring him. Galo and Aina then step in. Aina states that the law on harboring only refers to the likes of terrorists and thus shouldn't apply here. Despite their pleas, the officer force manages to arrest both the employee and Pops. After the incident, Galo drives off in anger as various strangers are made disgusted by the presence of a Burnish.

Ashes

**Ashes**, alternatively spelled as **Λsʜᴇs** in soundtrack listings, is a Japanese electronic song with lyrics written by cAnON and sung by Gemie. Instrumentals were composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. It can be found on the official soundtrack and remix collection.

Unlike other lyrical songs, Ashes has two lyrical versions with different instrumentals used in *Promare*: Λsʜᴇs and Λsʜᴇs ~RETURNS~. Fan extensions have been made including both.

## Appearances in *Promare*

## Background

As explained by Sawano in an interview with Natalie, the song acts as a theme for Lio's despair similar to NEXUS. This goes along with the song's placements. Also like NEXUS, both songs use a female vocalist to balance out genders. Ashes' lyrics were done by cAnON instead of Benjamin and mpi.

Promare (Species)

The **Promare** is a race of sentient flame, originating from an alternate dimension. They are controlled by and resonated with the Burnish.

## Appearance

Promare are typically of a pink and teal color. As portrayed in the movie, teal flames are protective and won't hurt others. Pink, on the other hand, will inflict burns such as Galo's scars. The latter typically comes out when their host is angered or stressed. Certain scenes and artwork give the Promare faces with dot eyes.

## History

### *Promare*

As explained by Dr. Deus Prometh's AI, about 30 years ago a space-time rift caused the Promare and Earth's core to fuse together in the same area of space. Once inside the Earth's core, the Promare resonated with some compatible humans, whose stress from every day life evoked large fires thus causing the Great World Blaze.

Their fusion with the Earth's core enacted the magma from within to rise forth to eventually put the Earth in danger. Those such as Kray Foresight discovered this and decided to enact a migration plan for himself and select others. As this involved draining the Burnish of their flames, this only sped up the world's destruction.

After Galo's rescue of Lio, the duo call forth the help of fellow Burnish to save the world together. The duo fuse as one in Galo de Lion. They then release all the Promare from Earth whilst preventing non-Burnish from being hurt. Lio watches as his flames fly away.

Thyma with flamesLio with PromareEmployee defends himselfAI Deus with Promare flameDigital example of BurnishSea of teal flames
## Trivia

* The Promare can also be infused with other animals besides humans, as a dog can be seen at Fennel Volcano amongst other Burnish.
* Promare can create armors and physical matter such as prosthetics and Mad Burnish's armor. As to whether the flames stays or leaves after the matter is created is debatable.

### Etymology

* In-canon, their name comes from Dr. Prometh's name.
	+ Their name also comes from Prometheus, a Greek Titan who stole Olympus' flames and left them in fennel for humans to find. He would later be punished for his crimes.

#### **Story Concepts**

* In the kids draft, the Promare was instead a creature called Mera. It resembled a rabbit and would act as child Lio’s companion. Galo would also have his own creature called Dolabra, a dragon. During the ending, when both were supposed to be dispelled from Earth, it would be revealed Galo and Lio secretly kept them in their pockets. All of this was likely changed to emphasize the discrimination narrative and to age up both boys.
Foresight Foundation

Founded by Kray Foresight, the **Foresight Foundation** is a group dedicated to researching and fighting against the Burnish. The Foundation funds a number of smaller groups dedicated to this cause such as Freeze Force.

## Known Members

* Kray - The head of the foundation. He is a rich billionaire who offers anti-Burnish technology to multiple businesses around Promepolis.
* Heris - Lead scientist of the foundation. She is in charge of the Burnish experiments and promatech engine.
* Biar - Assistant of Kray's. She may occasionally instruct the scientists at the foundation.
* Thyma - An employee at one of the foundation's pharmaceuticals. As implied, she and her co-workers are in charge of medicines and vaccines rather than anti-Burnish machinery.

## Armory

The Foresight Foundation is a heavily funded company that provides Promepolis various defense mechanisms and weaponry. Freeze Force is one example of this, where items such as the absolute zero bullet was formed by them. There is also the existence of the Foresight Pharmaceuticals, implying they also provide medicines or vaccines.

In terms of weaponry, they have developed various freeze guns, hydrants that spray roads for Mad Burnish attacks, and lasers for the tower in Promepolis. A mecha nicknamed "Krazor-X" by Galo was also engineered. It uses segments of the previously mentioned tower as a control room and the machine's body.

However, their most infamous creations are the Parnassus and its promatech engine. When a Burnish's flames are drained from them, the energy given allows for a portal to form via warp drives. This can result in the disfiguration and potentially even death of the Burnish unfortunate enough to be within. Kray plans on using this technology to abandon Earth altogether.

## Gallery

## Trivia

* Thyma wears clothing similar to the standard employee attire of Foresight Foundation, heavily implying that she was a member as well.
* FBC, the news station that reports Kray attending a funeral, bears a similar logo to the Foresight Foundation's.

### Story Concepts

* The Foresight Foundation and Promepolis are represented by squares. According to Imaishi, "a square is related to control--like as in walls or boxes." This is why the Burnish are represented by triangles, as a triangle is a halved square.

Ice Breaker

The **RM01**, alternatively the **Ice Breaker** or **Icebreaker**, is a rescue mobile adorned in fireproof armor. Ignis is the designated driver, leading the Mega Max during Burning Rescue emergencies.

## Appearance

The Ice Breaker resembles a sports car. It features orange, red, and gray segments. It is an average-sized vehicle that is towered over by the Mega Max. The plating is enough to withstand heat. In a way, it acts as the front eyes for the Mega Max. The vehicle's front features the engine and orange bars at the headlights. Burning Rescue's logo is featured on the sides.

## History

### *Galo-hen*

After the station's fire alarm goes off, Ignis and his fellow colleagues head out. Ignis in particular uses the Ice Breaker to travel to the scene. However, he does not use it for combat, opting to use his freeze gun and guide his fellow co-workers instead. It can occasionally be seen in the background.

### *Promare*

When a local Foresight Pharmacutical is set ablaze, Ignis is first shown making car repairs to his vehicle. He then proceeds to head out. After arriving, he attempts to guide the others, but Galo proceeds to ignore his advice thanks to Mad Burnish's presence. Due to Ignis' vehicle being unable to deal with fires themselves, he opts to use the elevator despite real life safety concerns.

As Ignis is driving during Lio's attack on Promepolis, he comes across Galo, whose pants are on fire. Ignis can only comment on this. Galo opts to jumping inside the Mega Max to be put out by Lucia and Varys.

In the aftermath of Heris' betrayal and Galo's fall from the Parnassus, Ignis and co. arrive to deal with Freeze Force. Ignis and Vulcan in particular fight with their vehicles, crashing them into each other and then themselves.

## Abilities

* **Drive:** Ignis uses the Ice Breaker to guide the Mega Max behind him.
* **Durability:** The Ice Breaker is adorned in a heavy armor resistant to fire. Ignis uses the Ice Breaker to ram into Vulcan's vehicle.

## Gallery

*For Ice Breaker's full gallery, go here.*

## Trivia

* The RM in RM01 stands for "rescue mobile."
* As stated by Koyama, there is no passenger seat in the vehicle, replaced by more Nitro systems instead. There is also a personal rescue gear inside for Ignis.

### Story Concepts

* Concept features Ignis using the car door as a shield alongside a fire axe. A gun was also seen at the top.
	+ Furthermore, during Ignis and Vulcan's crash into each other, his rescue gear was to shoot out of the car. This scene was ultimately scrapped.
Krozfelmar

Krozfelmar, the father and king of the giants, is a Khiiric god secretly conceived by Kazadun and Gwyfroga. When he was aborn, Gwyfroga secreted him away to his father, Kazadun, in the hopes that her newborn child could be raised safely away from her husband.

However, when Kazadun presented the infant to his brother, Karun, he became furious at Kazadun for risking the wrath of Ganain, Gwyfroga's husband, and cast the child down a mountainside out of fear of a reprisal should the earth clan ever find out.

Karun subsequently left and searched desperately for the child's corpse, but could not find it. Unbeknownst to him, a stray spirit of the earth had recognised the infant as Gwyfroga's child and spirited him away, for he had survived the fall- though he had been horribly disfigured beyond recognition, becoming possessed of a singular ugliness that he would retain into adulthood.

Unsure how to feed a child of divine birth, the spirit sought out the sap from the tree of life- however, she fed him too much, causing him to grow to a gigantic size, until he became so large that the only thing in adequate quantity to feed him became rocks, causing him to devour boulders and sometimes even mountains.

He eventually came into contact with his father, who, after realising who Krozfelmar was, explained to him the circumstances of his upbringing. Immediately afterwards, Krozfelmar wished to seek vengeance against Karun; but Kazadun convinced him not to, reasoning that he could not fight the pantheon single-handedly even with his great size and strength. Krozfelmar begrudgingly heeded his father, instead retreating into the crags and caverns of Ker'heir, where he would eventually create the giants in preparation to seek vengeance against his uncle.
Pops

**Pops**, also referred to as **Chief**, is a minor character from *Promare*. He appears when Burning Rescue go to a local pizzeria off-duty. He is defined by his considerate personality.

Portrayal: Tsuguo Mogami

## Personality

Pops is a kind middle aged man who runs a local pizzeria Galo and company frequent. He casually talks to his customers, even referring to them by name, and cares deeply for his employees' safety. This comes to the point where he is willing to break the law in order to protect them.

## Appearance

A fat shorter man, Pops' hair is grey and balding at the top. He has large grey eyebrows and a bushy upper mustache. His shirt is a solid white while his apron is a pure black akin to his employee. Pops is also depicted with wide, green eyes.

## History

### *Promare*

After the defeat of Mad Burnish's leader by Burning Rescue and Kray awards Galo with a medal, the group visits a local pizzeria. They meet the owner there who gives them their orders. During this, they briefly discuss the discrimination against the Burnish, with Pops claiming that they're not all so bad. He then continues to serve the group and fellow customers throughout.

Freeze Force then suddenly arrives on the scene. They have arrived to apprehend one of his employees for the Foresight Foundation's Burnish experiments. After said employee attempts to defend himself, he is soon restrained. Pops then attempts to defend him. This only has him be arrested as well. Aina and Galo also intervene, only to have Vulcan scoff at them. They are then taken away from the premises. As Pops is not Burnish, he was likely taken to a non-Burnish institution.

## Relationships

### Galo

Galo seems to be a regular customer of his. They are familiar enough to where he tosses food into Galo and Varys' mouths and also knows Galo by name. After Vulcan and Freeze Force raid the pizzeria, both him and Aina attempt to protect him when Freeze Force enforces police brutality. Their efforts are in vain as the group successfully takes them away.

### Pizzeria Employee

Pops appears to have a close relationship with him, as he was harboring the employee and was willing to protect him when Freeze Force arrives. He also comments that be merely wanted to make "the best pizza in town." For these, he was arrested as well. As Pops is not Burnish, he was likely not sent to the same institution.

### Aina

Aina is a fellow customer alongside fellow Burning Rescue members. She briefly talks with Pops during a conversation alongside her co-workers. After both Pops and the employee are restrained by Freeze Force, Aina attempts to defend them both as neither of them would be considered 'terrorists' by the law. This merely results in Vulcan scoffing at her as he takes them away.

Gallant Ones

**Gallant Ones** is a Japanese electronic rock song featured in the movie *Promare*. The song can be found in the official soundtrack for the film alongside a remix collection. Vocals were done by mpi & Benjamin Anderson while the instrumentals were composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.

## Appearances in *Promare*

* Deus X Machina's introduction
* Galo's rescue of Lio

## Background

Akin to Inferno, the song incorporates two male singers, mpi and Benjamin, to allow for a stronger vocal presence. As indicated by its placements in the film, the song is intended to represent Galo and Lio's new partnership via Deus X Machina through both their perspectives. Imaishi also comments that the song choice was fairly difficult for staff. They aimed for something "manly" instead of depressing. Thus, once again explaining the choice of two male vocalists.

It also utilizes the same chorus melody, percussion and a similar bassline to the track BangBangBUR... n?

NEXUS

**NEXUS** is a Japanese pop song featured in the movie *Promare*. The song can be found in the official soundtrack for the film alongside a remix collection. Vocals were sung by Laco and written by mpi and Benjamin while the instrumentals were composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.

For the film's anniversary, a remix music video was done to celebrate the occasion. It was uploaded to Sawano's YouTube channel on May 22nd, 2020.

## Appearances in *Promare*

* Matoi Tech introduction
* Deus X Machina's transformation into Lio de Galon

## Background

According to Sawano, the usage of a female vocalist rather than a male one was to see a woman's approach to a battle theme as well as balance out genders. Akin to Inferno, Laco was chosen for her previous work in anime. Sawano also claimed to have been inspired by *Guardians of the Galaxy*'s usage of 80's electronica.

The lyrics are from the perspective of Lio, who is critical of Galo's idolization of Kray. It also goes into their later teamwork, hence the song's placement in the film.

Great World Blaze

The **Great World Blaze**, also known as the **Great World Burn**,was a cataclysmic event that occurred thirty years before the events of *Promare*.

## History

The catastrophe was brought about when random people worldwide began developing Burnish abilities and succumbing to their newfound powers. These instances came from every day stress, such as traffic or arguments.

During this time, anti-Burnish sentiments arose leading to the talks and implementation of segregation policies, and clashes between Burnish and non-Burnish populations. Mad Burnish rose up into power and committed crimes of all sorts including theft and arson. The United Nations appointed Professor Deus Prometh as a specialist. Prometh's theory was that the more the Burnish would be oppressed, the worse things would only get. His advice was not put into consideration as the world emitted pink flames.

Several locations around the Earth were ruined or destroyed. Giza, Egypt was attacked by a massive Burnish tornado. The city of Paris, or at least a portion of it, was decimated by a moving wall of flames. London was on fire, Big Ben set aflame. Volcanoes around the world blew out of control, Burnish agitating them into combustion.

When Kray discusses the world ending from combustion brought by magma inside the core, he brings up the Great World Blaze.
Memorial Art Book

The ***Memorial Art Book***, also known as the ***Kami Douzen Memorial Book***, is a collection of artworks by staff for the film *Promare*. Most are of various character scenarios, however some are indicated to be the aftermath of the film itself. With over 80 pages, the book is littered with a variety of drawings. According to Aitai Kuji, it's original cost was about $30. Due to there only being two prints, sites such as Ebay range closer to $70.

## Appearance

The front cover is of Kray, Specifically, said cover is of Kray in both his calm facade with his ending appearance. His left hand is of a black metal with flames emerging from the palm. Long hair is set aflame to a pink tint. Interestingly, he appears to be wearing a black earring on his left ear akin to Lio. The right side of his face bears closed eyes and blonde hair. Atop him is the book's title in pink and yellow-tinted kanji. Inside the book itself though is illustrations all in black and white. This may be to make printing easier or them all being the same medium.

## History

The book was first released in October of 2019 after the film's first GKids release. However, a second release was given for winter 2020. Various staff members took part in the artwork images such as Gunyasu Shunpei, Iuosaki Rina, so on and so forth. The original cost was of about $30 with over 80 pages worth of artwork. Akin to other TRIGGER books, the upload of images is prohibited. This has not stopped fans though.

Freeze Force

**Freeze Force** is a government-sponsored organization made to suppress the Burnish people. They use different types of freezing weapons, such as guns and bombs, developed by the Foresight Foundation.

## Known Members

* Vulcan - the leading officer of Freeze Force. His most noteworthy feature is his large mechanical armor.

## Armory

Freeze Force is equipped with military-heavy gear engineered specifically for capturing Burnish rather than putting out fires. According to Vulcan, their technology is of higher quality than Burning Rescue mechs. All members of Freeze Force are well-equipped with full metal armor and various weaponry. These protect them from both flames and building debris. In the case of Vulcan, they can heighten the user by several feet.

Akin to Burning Rescue, Freeze Force has several freeze guns, bombs, and missiles to use. Their main source of travel is army vehicles with the ability to transform into aircrafts. They are powerful enough to drive upward on Burnish flames. During a confrontation, Vulcan uses a freezing bullet that, when it hits the heart, can leave the victim paralyzed and potentially torture or kill the individual. Freeze Force is also equipped with cuffs that prevent outbursts. If excessive heat is detected, they will immediately freeze the individual temporarily.

Inferno

**Inferno** is a Japanese pop rock song featured in the movie *Promare*. The song can be found in the official soundtrack for the film alongside a remix collection. Vocals were done by mpi & Benjamin while the instrumentals were composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.

On March 12th, 2020, a live performance was uploaded to Hiroyuki Sawano's official Youtube channel. Furthermore, on January 18th, 2020, a live show named Live Inferno featured and referenced the song.

## Appearances in *Promare*

* *Galo-hen* credits
* Promepolis' introduction
* Galo and Lio saving the world
* The beginning of the film's credits

## Background

According to an interview with the website Natalie, Sawano wished for the vocals to have a stronger presence. Thus, he requested to have two singers instead of one. Benjamin and mpi were chosen specifically for their work on *Kill la Kill*. The duo collaborated on lyrics while Sawano focused on instrumentals. Sawano claims that he did not intend for the song to act as the movie's theme, making it as a sub theme instead. However, fellow staff members believed it to be so, with the themes encompassing the film's moreso than others, thus Inferno was decided as such.

The song's main focus is that of Galo's journey into becoming a firefighter and his heroic behavior. This is indicated by the singers referencing Galo's burning soul and various firefighter imagery. However, as the song acts as a duet and the words of "Trails of fire (...) lead me to you," this can be concluded to be referring to Lio with the song being about both parties.

## Lyrics

 Trails of fire, you always knewThey would carry me home,They'd lead me to you

## Remixes

* Inferno<MODv>
* Inferno<MODv> (Instrumental)

## Discography

* Promare Original Soundtrack
* Promare Original Soundtrack Remix & Rearrange CD (<MODv> mix)

## Trivia

* In the Redux theatrical release, a short singalong of the song was shown after the film's credits. It has yet to be fully released online or physically, making it partially lost media.

Burnish Detention Center

The **Burnish Detention Center** is where Lio and company are sent after their fight at a local Foresight Pharmacutical. Here, a breakout soon takes place. To supress any heat, the building itself is frozen inside.

## Appearance

A large prison at the middle of a lake. All the metal rooms are kept at a freezing temperature akin to a freezer. The inside is covered in ice, coating everything in white and blue colors. In the hallways are TV screens which show various Promepolis news. For the prison cells, they are a square room where the ground lights up. However, the main source of light is the window at the mechanical entrance. At the outside is a helicopter landing. It can be speculated there is also an ‘Burnish experiment room’ akin to the Foresight Foundation building, but this is never shown.

## History

### *Promare*

After being purposefully arrested by Freeze Force, Lio, Gueira, and Meis are sent to prison. The hallways’ TVs broadcast the fight between them and Burning Rescue. Arriving at their cell, they are suddenly shoved inside. Multiple Burnish are seen such as two children, an elderly man, and a woman named Thyma. Gueira, mad from the guards’ disrespect, becomes enraged and ends up being briefly frozen by his cuffs. The elderly man inside tells them it’s pointless to fight back. They then hear a woman’s voice. Thyma awakens which has Lio approach her. She asks what they did to deserve the torture inflicted on them. He can only reply in silence.

Later on, the trio are escorted out to be transported to another location. However, Lio manages to free himself from his cuffs and traps the two guards. He then frees Gueira and Meis. Lio commands that they don’t needlessly kill anyone and enacts a prison-wide breakout. Multiple imprisoned Burnish are freed throughout. However, the guards bring in a military vehicle in an attempt to block them out of the entrance. Lio proceeds to slide underneath and topple the car over. He then guides everyone to the helicopter landing. As everyone enters the vehicle, Lio flies away to retrieve food supplies for the hideout.

## Trivia

* In the German dub of the prison breakout, the Wilhelm scream can be heard.
Lio's Awakening

**Lio's awakening**, otherwise known as the **Kakusei scene** or **dragon scene** by fans, is an infamous event in *Promare* where Lio seeks revenge against Kray and Freeze Force for his fellow Burnish.

## History

After Freeze Force's raid, resulting in the capture of several Burnish, Lio is flung inside Fennel Volcano. As the Absolute Zero Bullet left him paralyzed, he was trapped within for an unknown amount of time. When the audience cuts back to him, he manages to finally free himself from his icy prison. Lio immediately takes out the bullet with his own hand and crushes it. A built-up rage then comes forth, consuming him as he summons a fiery dragon. Lio charges for Promepolis.

When he arrives, the Mad Burnish leader lights the city ablaze, demanding Kray release the imprisoned Burnish below the Earth. The destruction ends up freeing Galo, who witnesses Lio in the night sky. He recognizes him to be crying. As Galo heads out, Freeze Force is dispatched to deal with Lio. However, Lio easily obliterates their aircrafts and sends Vulcan flying into a nearby building.

Meanwhile, Burning Rescue find themselves admist the chaos putting out Lio's flames. They then soon encounter Galo, who is also on fire. After putting him out inside the Mega Max, he asks for their cooperation. Lucia then reveals she had fixed up his Matoi Tech during his disappearance. He is then launched up to where Kray is.

Lio soon finds Kray's tower. Even admist freezing projectiles, Lio easily reaches the top where Governor Foresight himself awaits. Tensions rise evermore as Lio prepares to set him on fire as Kray's hand glows a pure white. Suddenly, Galo appears, launching himself into the dragon's eye where Lio is. After some struggling, he manages to eradicate the dragon as both him and Lio land in Aina's carrier. A fight breaks out within. They are then dropped at the frozen lake, resulting in the discovery of Deus' lab.

## Trivia

* In this scene alone, Lio is given a drastic appearance change, depicting him with charcoal and purple flames alongside two white horns.
	+ The design in question was depicted in a crossover with *Monster Strike*, merely calling it "Mad Burnish Leader Lio."
	+ Fans typically refer to the design as “Kakusei Lio” due to the Superfly song playing.
* As Galo was trapped in his cell for about a week, more than likely Lio was encased inside Fennel Volcano for about the same time.
* In the 3rd Anniversary's survey, Lio's Awakening was voted as first place for favorite scenes.

### Story Concepts

* As shown in storyboards, earlier drafts were to show Heris with the engine and Galo holding Lio instead of fighting him.
	+ Galo returning to Burning Rescue was also different, featuring Galo calming walking towards them. They are all standing outside instead of in the Mega Max. The scene has a far more mature tone to it.
	+ In another cut scene, Galo was instead to hold Lio as Aina carried them away. Lio would also not have his transformed form here. The wire would then snap as they fall into the frozen lake.
Promare Diner

**Promare Diner** was a reservation only collaboration event with Studio Trigger's *Promare* and the Chara Cafe between December 24th - 30th, 2019 plus January 4th - 30th, 2020. The restaurant where the event occurred was themed around American diners, hence the name.
