Fire Force (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Groping Through the Fire - full transcript

A widespread outbreak of fires stretches the members of Company 8 thin. Shinra tries to keep Charon and his men from taking Inca. With a shortage of ecclesiastical assistance, the crew members cannot put the Infernals to rest fast enough.

Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...

But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...

...is death by fire.

Please evacuate quickly!

We will put the Infernals to rest!

Aw, not our town...

Someone, please hurry and
put my husband out of his misery!

An Infernal!

Sister!

Right!

The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.



Ashes thou wert and art.

May thy soul return to
the great flame of fire.

Látom.

That was the third one.

There are so many of them,

and they're spreading
out throughout the town.

I've spotted several of them
near the lieutenant.

It appears that the number of
Infernals is still increasing.

With this many of them, there's no question
they're using those Insects.

There has to be a command center
somewhere directing them all.

It could be that plasma
user from the Nether.

Haumea-sama, we have finished
exploring the eastern quarter.

Even after all that, there is still
no one compatible. On to the next area.

Get some distance.



The Fire Force is nearby.

"Episode 4:
Groping Through the Fire"

Blue Stripes! We've got an Infernal!

There are so many of them.

Keep spraying them to slow them down
until we can put them to rest.

Got it.

Maki-san, we're more or less
keeping them at bay,

but we need the sister to put them to rest.

Copy.

The sister is heading this way now!

Just hold on!

Vulcan!

Infernals from the rear, too?

I am terribly sorry. Please forgive me
for putting you to rest without a prayer.

No, it's all right, Lieutenant!

The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.

Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul
return to the great flame of fire.

Látom.

Látom.

Are you all right, Vulcan-san?

That was close. You saved me.

I'm sorry we took so long. We just
finished putting another one to rest.

I need you to keep stopping them
on the front lines.

If we don't ensure the Fire Fighters'
safety, they can't put out the fires.

Understood, sir.

Vulcan, good to go?

No problem, sir.
Two more Infernals down this way.

Ugh, if I'd known it would be like this,
I wouldn't have come.

The distribution of these Infernals
is not at all spontaneous.

They're probably using Insects
to set people ablaze and split us up.

Maki, Vulcan,
locate the plasma user for me.

She must be issuing instructions
to the hostiles throughout town.

Vulcan, plasma user acquired.

I'll send Arthur her way,
so send me her location.

Copy.

Arthur, do you read me?

I've located the plasma user.

I'm coming to get you
on the double, so fight her off.

I'm taking you with me, too.
Don't interfere, just come quietly.

Screw that!

Who do you two think you are?

I'll decide for myself what I'm gonna do.

I may not understand
what your objective is,

but don't go deciding for me
if you're escorting me or securing me!

WALK!

You possess an Adolla Burst.
Your freedom... is gone.

I'll take you somewhere safe right away.

Just leave this to me. I'm a hero,
after all.

Safe? What for? That's so dull.
Out of the question.

Day-to-day life without any thrills?
That would be so boring.

Count me out.

What are you talking about?

You may steal money from people,
but you still save their lives, right?

I don't care if you do save me,
I'm not giving you anything.

I was never after anything
in return in the first place!

It's because you people are like this

that people think getting rescued
is something to be expected.

You're turning out incompetent scum
that can do nothing but wait for you!

As long as the people end up
getting rescued, what does it matter?

Having an ability doesn't
make you a bigshot!

People don't know what's
right or what's wrong.

Don't go forcing your boring safety on me!

Huh?

Whoa,

this one is tough. Still...

I'm just gonna burn the same way
I've seen others, right?

What's suddenly come over you?

So what if I just do whatever I want to?

Wait!

The Fifth Pillar belongs to us!

Get out of my way!

I'm picking up multiple heat sources.

Stay right with me.

Two of them at one o'clock.

One of them at nine o'clock.

No, there's more than just them.

So it would seem.

How are we supposed to stop this
many of them without putting them to rest?

Hold on!

There's a far stronger heat source
coming from that group of them!

What?

Is that...?

A demon Infernal.

It can't be...

This is great!

Of course a demon is gonna be born!

We have someone here who just
had her Adolla Burst awaken.

I knew that if we used Insects around her
to cause human combustion,

we'd have a demon pop up from among them.

Though I have to admit, it's gonna be
quite the ordeal for them.

Imagine, not being able to finish off
an Infernal without putting them to rest!

You Fire Soldiers sure tie yourselves up
in some inconvenient bondage games.

Maki-san,
we've got a demon on our hands now.

There's no way we can stop them.

The sister is heading there now.

Just hang on!

Easy for her to say.

What are we supposed to do by ourselves?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I didn't mean to take so long.
I had some trouble getting changed.

Tamaki, you've been through
the sisters' training?

Well, I did come from the 1st, after all.

But this is my first time
putting anyone to rest in the field.

Do your best.

Yes, sir, I'll start right away...

Why me?

How did everything from
the neck down come off?

And how come only the veil stayed on?

The bikini-and-veil look
is an awfully niche kink.

Wait, if you can get to heaven that way,
that may not sound so bad.

Don't be ridiculous. There's no way.

...Here they come!
...If we can't put them to rest,
what are we supposed to do?!

...If we can't put them to rest,
what are we supposed to do?!

Oh,
sorry! I'll get dressed again right away!

Hang in there, Vulcan.

This is where we're gonna
meet our end, all right.

Don't give up!

Just hold on,
you two! I'm almost finished...

Damn it! Whoa...!

...Vulcan!
...Damn it, damn it...!

For heaven's sake, Tamaki...

As always, what are you even doing?

Lieutenant Karim!

This is Hinawa. Lieutenant Karim
from the 1st has joined us.

He's here? That's a big help.

I thought we couldn't count on any of
the other companies to work with us.

Not officially, no. But I requested
a little personal assistance.

I hear you're short on clerical help.

I'm really glad you're here.
Now we can put them to rest.

All right, let's go!

Go grab the girl who ran away.

Sir!

Hold it!

Move it!

Let go of me, you...!

No you don't!

Is that...?

Backdraft Bubblish Gum.

It's you! The guy from the 5th!

Toru Kishiri!

I got a request that you wanted
some extra help, so here I am.

There's another one?

N-No, not me. I just happened
to be passing by. No, really...

Whoa, hell of a barrage.

This is bad! This is bad, but here I am!

Juggernaut!

Let's get 'em!

We can't just run up to them.

Stay away!

Way to go, Juggernaut! I'll make sure
not to let them anywhere near us,

so you just keep on backing away
and firing at them!

You just make sure!

Keep your distance and return fire!

Sir!

Keep away!

I hate to do this, you
two, but you've got this!

Huh?!

I'm not going to let them get that girl!

Hm? Shinra Kusakabe!
Where do you think you're going?

You're going where Inca is, right?
Isn't that right?!

Answer my question!

Damn it!

Let me go! Let go of me!

Be quiet!

Stop that! Let the girl go!

Butt out! I want to live someplace that
scares the living daylights out of me!

What is wrong with you?

Hurry! The Infernals are coming!

That way is cut off!

Sister, we need to put
the next one to rest, please.

Yes, sir.

We call it a prayer, but she puts
her whole soul into supplicating.

The sister's strength and
concentration has their limits.

Are you all right, Sister?

Hmm? There's nothing at
all wrong with me, sir.

The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.

Who are you?

A sister squad under the
command of Lieutenant Karim.

Company 2 Platoon on the scene!

Company 5 Platoon, secure an
evacuation route for the civilians!

...Yes, sir! ...Yes, sir!

Am I glad to see them! Reinforcements!

Captain Obi, I am Platoon Leader
Taguchi, from the 2nd.

I am Platoon Leader Tokuyama, from the 5th.

Thanks for the assistance.
I'm glad you answered my call.

I've known about you since
your days as a regular Fire Fighter, sir.

It is an honor to be able to
work together with you today.

Company 2 Platoon, put
those Infernals to rest!

Company 5 Platoon, after securing
that route, get everyone evacuated!

...Yes, sir! ...Yes, sir!

Captain, look how many of them
there are. Isn't this great?

Yeah.

We aren't the only Fire Soldiers
that want to protect people.

The flames are now spread
out all across town.

Adding a few more Fire Soldiers
at this point won't do any good.

The Fifth Pillar is as good as ours.

Celestial Knight Slash!

Whoa, you freaked me out.

Gah, it's you again!

Maki, shock lady acquired.

Take her out.

So you're the enemy commander, are you?

I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!

Charon,
I've got a problem here. Hurry it up.

I'm not siding with either one of you guys!
Let me go! Release me!

Let the girl go!

...Hold her there...Let me go!

Sir.

I'm getting real tired of
that hulking frame of yours.

I'll blow you away!

That was nothing!

CLAP!

Your attacks are all speed and no heat.

Oh, shut up. Screw you.

Still, the fact remains that
my Rapid doesn't work against him.

He triggers explosions just by walking.

I could create explosions
like that, too, if I wanted to.

The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.

Fire!

Ashes thou wert and art.

May thy soul return to
the great flame of fire. Látom.

Captain, the Infernals are being
put to rest like clockwork now.

But how are we going to
extinguish all this fire?

The way things are headed,
the whole town is going to burn down.

Return to the great flame of fire.

Látom.

Whew. That just leaves...

...the one-horned demon Infernal!

Damn! I can't send out orders
when you're around!

I am going to shatter your scheme!

Hmph, oh, are you, now?
But then, we already have the Fifth Pillar!

We're going to be the ones
to assemble the eight key Pillars.

Unhand me! I do not belong to anyone!

Let me go! Release me!

That leaves you, Fourth Pillar.

I can't beat him like this. However...

...when I was training
with Captain Shinmon,

there was one tenokata form
that caused an explosion.

You extend your index and pinky fingers.

Whenever you get in a pinch,
remember "rock" while making this sign,

and it will inspire courage within you.

I guess I'll try it.

I'm just getting started, you damn gorilla!

The form I learned from
Captain Obi himself...

The "Corna"!

"To be continued"

"Fire Force, Season 2"

"Next time"

Shinra-san squares off against
the White-Clad Charon.

While fighting an uphill battle
against a foe he can't lay a scratch on,

he finally figures out the secret.
Now, Shinra-san! Your finishing move!

We'll see about that!

"Episode 5"
"Corna (Sign of the Devil)"

Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
episode 5, "Corna."

Return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
