Series Overview
The official synopsis of Fire Force reads,
“Tokyo is burning, and citizens are mysteriously suffering from spontaneous human combustion throughout the city. Responsible for snuffing out this inferno is the Fire Force, and Shinra is ready to join their fight. Now, as part of Company 8, he’ll use his devil’s footprints to help keep the city from turning to ash. But his past and a burning secret behind the scenes could set everything ablaze.”
What to expect in season 2
The first season of the anime series was based on the manga’s chapter 90, volume 11. In this installment, viewers witnessed the firefighter Shinra taking down the demonic presence in the region.
Also, these demons are spreading flame across the city. Not only that, Company 8 also executed their supernatural fire fighting abilities against the monsters in the previous season.
Meanwhile, the upcoming season is predicted to run through Chapter 197 of Volume 23. It might offer some new surprises regarding heroes’ lives. Furthermore, details will unfold concerning the Evangelists and the battles that Shinra would need to face.
