Lieutenant Hinawa ran into Arrow of The Knights of The Ashen Flame and engaged her in battle. At first, it seemed like Arrow had the advantage, but Lieutenant Hinawa took out an even bigger type of gun and blasted away. Resolving not to die, he took out Arrow. Yona and Mirage were there, however, ready to finish off Lieutenant Hinawa. Lieutenant Hinawa shot one more blast at the ceiling, which made Arthur Boyle the Knight King drop in from above to help out. Mirage was defeated, and Yona ran away. Meanwhile, Captain Obi and Vulcan engaged Dr. Giovanni and Lisa the Feeler in battle. Both Vulcan and Captain Obi tried to get through to Lisa, and thanks to a strategy by Captain Obi involving fire extinguishers, Vulcan rescued Lisa. Dr. Giovanni then took Lisa back and threatened to kill her if Vulcan didn’t shoot Captain Obi. He revealed a bit about the Evangelist and their plans. Vulcan shot Captain Obi after struggling not to, but it turns out Captain Obi was fine thanks to some good engineering on Vulcan’s part. Dr. Giovanni let them have Lisa, saying he accomplished his mission to unite Shinra and Sho. Then he left. Shinra finally reunited with his brother, Sho, but it wasn’t a friendly reunion. Viktor Licht was there too. Sho immediately engaged Shinra in battle, saying that the thought of Shinra being his brother disgusted him. Shinra tried to keep up, but Sho could freeze time using his Adolla Burst, which could expand and cool the universe. Shinra then found the ability to go faster than the speed of light using his own Adolla Burst, and the two engaged in fierce battle while Viktor Licht broke everything down science-wise. Shinra kept forming Adolla Links with Sho to link with the Evangelist as well, showing Sho memories of when they were younger. In the end Shinra said he was sorry for leaving Sho in the dark for so long. Unfortunately, Shinra had used his Adolla Burst recklessly and was stabbed by Sho’s sword. This is when Haumea, who works for the Evangelist, showed up and said she would take Shinra. The rest of Special Fire Force unit 8 showed up, however, and fought her off while also retrieving Shinra. Arthur’s plasma sword, Excalibur, was especially useful against Haumea. Haumea took Sho away and Shinra and the others got out of the Nether as it collapsed. Shinra was rushed to the hospital at Special Fire Force unit 6. There, he was treated and made a full recovery. When he did, he dueled Captain Burns of Special Fire Force unit 1 in battle, trying to uncover the truth about everything. He managed to land a hit on Captain Burns, so Captain Burns told him everything. About how Sho was the source of the fire twelve years ago that turned his mother into a demon Infernal, and how the Evangelist and their followers had been active at the time and caused it. Haumea and Charon were there to represent them. Captain Burns had essentially lied to Shinra because Shinra wasn’t strong enough at the time to get his brother back. After learning this, Shinra became a bit depressed, but Special Fire Force unit 8 threw a party for his discharge from the hospital. Shinra went back to being his old self and competing with Arthur. The 8th’s new goal would be to find the Evangelist and their followers, and defeat them. As usual, Captain Obi made a speech while everyone there from the various companies were doing their own thing and causing a ruckus. Shinra is now determined to get his brother Sho back and uncover the truth about the Evangelist. Definitely looking forward to binging season two of Fire Force and catching up to where the show is at now!
