Content, developments before Fire Force season 3 episode 2

Fire Force season 3 episode 1 opens with the eerie landscape of Adolla, where hellbugs run amusingly under the moonlight, and Evangelist watches in amusement as the demons howl. The story quickly shifts to Haumea, who painfully gathers the collective consciousness, while Charon watches helplessly. At Company 8 headquarters, Shinra and Arthur spar heatedly, while Captain Akitaru Obi reports off-screen to the head of the Tokyo Fire Department. He reveals the discovery of another Amaterasu, secrets from the Great Disaster 250 years ago, and confirms that Haijima is not affiliated with the White Clad. However, the climax comes when the Tokyo Imperial Army suddenly storms in and captures Obi, leaving everyone stunned, though he remains calm and asks Hinawa to be notified.

Elsewhere, at the Holy Sol Temple, Raffles III declares that the Empire needs to be reborn to deal with Spontaneous Incineration, ordering Captain Leonard Burns to cooperate with White Clad. Haumea reveals his true goal: to turn the Earth into a Sun, causing Burns to witness “Divine Fanaticism” and submit. Meanwhile, Hinawa informs Company 8 of Obi’s capture and the presence of White Clad, determined to save the Captain himself despite being seen as a traitor. Shinra and his comrades decide to go along, laying the groundwork for a confrontation with the Empire. The episode ends with Burns suggesting that Obi be implanted with hell bugs to lure Shinra, promising further tensions in Fire Force season 3 episode 2.
