| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, no wonder Hibana has such a twisted personality. It's just that she has a heart of despair. Also, no wonder Shinra decide to challenge her to prove a point. In the meantime, I do have to admit that Hibana is one of the most dangerous characters he's faced in this series so far. Hibana's personality is all over this place this episode. |

| Well that was… a bit anticlimactic. So is Hibana the 1st member on Shinra's harem? Her petal like pupils turned into hearts fast when Shinra was being smooth with the hero talks. Couldnt really feel for her backstory, but thats on me as she pissed me off too much with her ego and sado maso plays going on in her group. She hot af tho. Sister Iris was too dang adorable this ep, she was like a lil puppy. Shinra's got some pretty mad skills for taking out a captain, that being said felt like she was I dunno… not really that strong? Felt like Maki can take her out too. |
  |
| We got to see Iris and Princess Hibana backstory. I have to say Hibana is one crazy character. Loved Shinra's hero talk. |
 |
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. This episode just made me love the series more than i already did. I actually can't see why other people hate on it so much. |
| Thank you for reading my post. Because I wouldn't.  |

It’s just her ability that’s strong , the 5th is a research group and she only became captain because she had info and basically blackmailed her way to that position .Well that was… a bit anticlimactic.

Yeah but, I expected at least one heavy hitter on their squad if they were full of non combat types, their whole squad got took out by literally 2 2nd gens and 2 rookie 3rd gens. But this is just me being too nitpicky. |

| Eh pretty meh episode. Hibana is just not interesting and her flashback didn't make me change my opinion about her. Shinra's lines were so uninspiring that were rather cringeworthy but that's me being sick of typical shounen wannabe hero characters. Also, Hibana seemingly falling for him through those lines only made it worse. Only thing I liked from this episode was the post-ED scene because the captain got trolled at the end lol |
 |
| a back story for little princess here. I knew she was kind to Iris even if I haven't read the manga. also that fight scene was dope and that sakura tree is just a great representation of her liking to plants. the bit after the end was also fucking awesome since she practically admitted her feelings to Shinra lmaooo (ara ara vibes) |
| Weird how both this episode and today's Dr. Stone had sections about adding chemicals to flames to change their colour. Not a coincidence I expected to see. |
 |
| Lmfao, that after-credit scene starring the Capt was mad hilarious! I was confident he’d join this battle in a bang but looks like he was way too busy preparing xD. God, that was some good laughter one after another, with the first being Hibana’s 360 degree flip to falling head over heels for Shinra over that unimpressive and usual hero lines and then consequently being overly cooperative. Shinra and Iris’s reactions there didn’t help my tummy sides either. Anyway, we finally got more into the backstory of Hibana & Iris and it was somewhat touching indeed but more so sort of meh I suppose. Coupled with this, the ridiculous ‘falling for MC’ trope just made it all the more .. hilarious, really. Got to say, some of the art direction this episode was bloody gorgeous and really impactful though, especially that ‘sakura tree’ and the detail put behind her flowers, eyes and plenty of her facial expressions and the unsettling vibe through that shaky bit during her leave from Iris and aplenty more. I was certainly expecting Capt. Hibana to be stronger but I suppose that backstory where she smuggled her way in pretty much explains that bit. I’m sure Iris’s “you were our hero” resounded deep within her though, I don’t know why but it sort of left an impression on me. Well, we’ve got ourselves a ‘dinner party’ to look forward to next lol. Definitely curious to see how that’ll play out. Are we just going to gloss over that old man last episode with the ability to transform into an infernal though? New ED visuals too, yeah? |

rusenakman said: I sense Boa Hancock vibes from Hibana last episode. Looks like I'm not entirely wrong. LOL Yes, Boa Hancock! I felt like she strikingly reminded me of someone with that sudden lovesickness, and of course it’s Boa Hancock xD! |

| Man the angels sure are proving to be useless. Still as expected of the princess the abilities that she has was pretty interesting. Both in terms of effects and in visually as well. Unlike Iris looks like she hated the time at the convent. Shinra's battle though relatively brief sure did well in showing how determined he is to break through others delusions and save them. Though she was strong looks like her flames were the only things that she can actually rely on. Despite her defeat it was nice seeing Iris and the Princess reforge their bonds. A solid ep that while wrapping up the assault nicely also did well to expand upon Iris and the princess's time at the convent. |

| She got off easy. One punch, even one as satisfying as our boy landed, was not enough punishment considering the shit she's done. |

| a whole sakuga episode this time huh thats nice and there are lots of sexy frames of Hibana too like this one  |
| This episode was quit boring, also the background story of Hibana doesn't convinced me a lot. |
 |
| Obi LOOOOOOL. That complete 180 of Hibana’s personality was nice. I guess all she wanted was someone to save her. Hoping to see more of her |
| It's so delightful to see the innocence and cuteness of sister iris, she was the greatest highlight of this episode for me. |
| The post credit scene was the best part of the episode with Capt. Oubi. Everything else was just kind of okay... and Shinra's usage of the word 'hero' needs to be cut in half. Here's to hoping the story picks up a little bit in following weeks. |
The team thats been handling this is the same from Kizu right? cause this scene had the same vibe.  |
| |
| Another anime with good animation and poor written |
 |
| Okay good we're done with the Company 5 Arc. Much more excited for the next arc, a more interesting set-up plus I recall its the arc where the series picks up. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| All those flowers were pretty! Hibana falling for Shinra, after a simple speech.. She definitely isn't very strong, he abilities seem to make her strong. One punch to the face was all needed to take her out after all. That post credit scene with Captain Obi was priceless, took too long preparing... |

I'm 90 chapters into the manga and it's never been taken that seriously. In fact, the series doesn't really have any romantic elements to speak of. |

| It's too bad that Shinra is such a numbnuts - there's so much wonderful motorboating available there... |
| This was a nice dinner party with surprise attack as a dessert xD And late Captain had me rolling haha. Well, Hibana can be pretty cute too. But I have to say, her backstory and redemption didn't really know to convince me. Still good episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I thought the art, animation, and fight were amazing. They did not talk much about what happened with the sisters other then them burning. Did they all just combust? I find that hard to believe. Also if they were crumbling wouldn't they have just been burned alive and not crumbled? Idk it's still a sketchy situation so I am curious if anything else will happen with that story. 5th Captain is in love with Shinra now?...hot. |

| Because of the hype for this anime before it even airs, I started reading the manga, it was ok though some arc are so, so while other arc are good. But because of reading the manga before hand I expected the anime will entertain me but that wasn`t the case in ep. 1 to 5. Somehow ep. 6 isn`t that bad but shinra should tone down with the hero thing. |
| Uh....... Probably the worst episode so far. No real objective. Just 5th Capt and Shinra fighting. Backstory sucked. I wish this show would be more interesting. |
thats what she said lol the sex appeal is oozing  and im glad Fire Force will be better from this point forward judging from the manga readers reaction on this episode |
| Just an OK episode for me. Hibana's backstory wasn't all that interesting to me. Smokin' body though. The fight was anti-climatic, given she was a captain. The previous episodes ones were better. Dialogue uninspiring. |
| Pretty good episode but I think some of the previous ones were better. I don't dislike Hibana but as many other pointed out, I didn't really feel for her backstory as much, it wasn't as compelling as you would want it to be. I'm going to assume that the 5th squad have no combat oriented members since Shinra was able to take out a captain in pretty much a single blow and Shinra himself doesn't really seem like an overly strong character to be able to beat someone like say Obi. Sister Iris is cute and Hibana blushing at the end was win. |
 |
| Imo, this is point in the story where it becomes way more interesting. I don't think anything up till here is bad, but it definitely starts improving after this. I'd recommend that anyone who's iffy on the show sticks around for at least a few more episodes. |
|
| Personally was just an ok episode for me. Nothing too remarkable to speak highly though I did kinda expected the episode to have more a feel of 'explosiveness' to it but it was ok. |

| lol all the people crying over hibana being the new "harem member" xD so far she seems to be the only one to look shinra in that manner. |
 |
| Obi's late to the party that he never got invited too. XD |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| even with being a big softie for hibana she got off a bit too easy in typical shounen fashion i doubt for now if there's a lot of inner fighting with the companies they'll share the same fate as her this show still looks quite nice and makes the action fun to watch, the dialogue at times on the other hand is pretty cheesy for me Captain not realizing the fights over was funny |
