01x01 - Shinra Kusakabe Enlists

[bunniefuu]

This train. Next stop is at Tabata station.

Amaterasu is operating at full efficiency.

We are running according to schedule.

It is a safe

here because the burning train heading this way. Move!

What looks like a serious fire.

Personnel on the platform at once.

Bet it hurts in there. I can help you with that..

Special fire force. Make way! All civilians

continue to evacuate. This area is dangerous.

You too. Don't just stand around here. Go and join the others.

Wait, captain. I think. Hey, Lieutenant. Care

to join us? Yes, of course sir.

Commence the operation. Note the time is .

Yes, sir. Sister, would you begin the prayer, please? On it.

The flame is the soul's breath. Extinguishing smoke is the fire's release.

Pile bunkers prepped. I'll bust the core myself.

Final words. And art. May thy soul were.

To the great Flame of Fire.

Lotto. Lotto. That was awesome. What a cool team.

That was close. You aren't injured, are you? Oh, no.

What was that? So you're the one? Yes.

Forgive the late intro. As of this morning,

I'll be your new third generation fire soldier.

I'm Shinra Kusakabe. It's an honor to meet you all.

Huh? So these are the devil's footprints I've heard about.

The love Miami Flower are..

Looking at a text that he told you, me and Dana,

that she gave us a coup de la terre.

So I am looking not a day to meet you.

The Tokiwa de manager. Promoting. Call me.

Well, it has to. Yes, she. He.

Dan Miller.

A old American. Due to last.. Moments. Then all the.

He launched.

Do you get?

I saw company eight was new. So why

is it courted in such an old dump?

Too bad. Shinra. Right? Follow me.. Sir.

An old dump, huh? No, it's got character.

Reporting in, sir.

Ah, you made it. I'm captain of the Special

Fire Force Company eight. The name's Akitaro Obi.

You're greeting a new team member. Let's

maybe get off the pull up bar. Can do.

Takahisa Okinawa around this dump. I'm second in command.

So, hey, Shinra, about your resume photo. Why are you smiling?

Sir, apologies. When I'm nervous, my face

compulsively tightens in such a way that my teeth are exposed.

Huh? Uh. That is. I tend to smile when I feel tense. My face.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Sorry about that. Just wanted to see for myself.

You get it? I bet that cute

little quirk gets you in a lot of trouble. True.

It's caused a few misunderstandings. Made your..

Poker face. Must be something else to call it. Cute.

I'll be sure he means creepy. So tell me, Shinra,

why did you decide to join the fire

force in the first place, sir?

Honestly, I just wanted to be a hero.

Well, that's as fine and ambition as any.

But don't forget you're part of a team.

Cool headed coordination saves more lives than heroics.

A hero, huh? Correct me if I'm wrong,

but that's in stark contrast with your nickname.

Everybody calls you a devil due to an incident

that took place when you were young.

If you act like you talk, you'll do fine.

But if you're just some delinquent who's

trying to clean up his reputation,

you may as well walk out now.

Sister? Yes, Marquis. What is it? That new

recruit swept you off your feet like you were a princess.

He came out of nowhere and saved you from danger. So

tell me, did you feel like he might be the one?

Always acts so fierce and cool in the field.

But the fact is her head stuffed with flowers and sparkles.

Reporting in. Sir. Hi. I'd like to

thank you for helping me earlier. Yeah, sure.

I just did what any hero would.

Well. He really. Is the white.

This is the time for love, not w*r.

And I really don't think you should

stoop.. To v*olence anyway.

Mean you're a nun, you silly goober?

I adjusted the length of your pants

to accommodate that ability of yours.

Do you think they're going to work

for you? Yeah. Thank you very much.

Why does she smell so good? Easy, turbo.

You look like you want to eat her.

Say what? I already explained it's an involuntary.

Mm. Well, I think it's just about time, captain.

Yeah, everyone's here now, so let's get started.

All of us know about spontaneous human combustion,

but no one, not even us here,

knows when it'll happen next or to whom.

And so we all live in fear.

One day, without cause or warning, people

the world over began catching fire.

These were the first generation victims of spontaneous human combustion.

They and those like them who've come since are called infernos.

Having lost all sense of self, they run rampant until they die.

Those deaths don't come easy. To put an inferno to rest,

you have to destroy its core by

striking where the victim's heart was.

The special fire force's main duty is to put infernos to rest,

saving their souls and human lives in the process.

But we all have another objective that's

to solve the mystery of what causes human combustion,

and with luck, to stop it and put

an end to the terror of the flame

for good as quickly as we can.

I want to become a hero.

Mother. Hey, mom. Guess what? Superhero. I'll keep

you in show safe forever. Well, that sure sounds cool.

Devil. No, I won't take him in. That boy is dangerous.

Please, ma'am. He's your grandson. Don't say anything you'll regret.

I'll say what I know. That is no grandson of mine.

Do you have any idea what he's done? And look at him.

Not a shred of remorse. He's grinning like the devil he is.

I made a promise, and I'll keep it.

The alarm. Shinra. Someone just turned infernal.

Be ready in s. On it.

Our inferno is in Taito Ward, Torigoe district.

The fires at a small factory. The person

who turned infernal is the factory manager's wife.

We'll work with squad for the fire defense agencies away.

No branch and put her to rest.

Get in the matchbox. Let's do this.

Emergency vehicles are about to deploy.

We request that all civilian motorists pulled

to the side of the road and clear

a path.. So they can safely pass.

Special fire Force company eight. Moving out.

Comes your chance to be a hero.

It's the blue stripes.

From what we've

been seeing, this inferno is especially aggressive.

We've been able to keep the flames contained so far,

but as long as the inferno is

active, there's a risk that more.

Excuse me. Please help my wife's sister.

See that she's put to rest.

Infernals are lost souls shrouded in flame.

We'll offer your wife mercy and a return

to the embrace of the great God soul.

Special fire force company eight. It's time we went in, right?

Done. You like it? Oh, yeah. I can keep everybody safe now.

Mm kay. So what do you think? Do I look all super? Yeah.

My little hero. Hey.

She's further in these flames.

They feel conscious, like they're actively trying to stop us.

This place must have been important to the inferno, I mean.

Hey, Shinra. You okay, bud? I was just.

You still want to be a hero, don't you? Listen.

Fire soldiers don't abandon their comrades when

you fall behind. We all do.

The bright blue stripes that ring our bodies aren't just for show.

They're what bind us all together in

this hellscape of smoke and flame.

Trust in that bond. The fear you feel is a survival tool.

It helps to keep you alive. Just

don't let it make you a coward.

Understood, sir.

Marquee. Right. Clearing a path.

The flames are getting sucked in. Shinra.

Look, honey. You need it right away. Hurry!

That's her eldest son, Shinra. They say he caused the fire.

His younger brother Sho was burnt completely.

They couldn't even find his bones.

I heard them say that he's a third generation.

They can create fire at will. How terrifying!

I can't run away from this.

It wasn't me. When my home b*rned, I saw someone or something.

Something other than mom. Or show me.

And I'm going to find out what.

That smile of his. It's so creepy. He's a psychopath. A devil.

Since that day, I haven't truly smiled once.

Neville. Hey, Neville! Wake up, you damn delinquents!

What's with this blue light?

You know, with a badass nickname like devil.

I figured you'd be tougher. Try to sit up.

I must have been out for a while. How long?

You're fine. It was like five seconds. Now get up already.

We're going to need you in action soon.

How do you feel? Can you fight? Yeah.

Everyone prepare for battle.

Time is .

Commencing operation to put infernal to rest. Yes, sir.

Shinra machi and I will draw our attention.

Then you can end this with one good kick, right? Let's do it.

Thanks and prove. Time to fire. Axe. Thrust.

I made two promises that I'd be a hero

and that I'd protect my family.

Mom show. I'm sorry I couldn't keep that last promise.

But I'll honor your memory by becoming a hero.

Hope you're watching. Here I go.

I refuse to be what they say I am.

No matter what I have to do, I will be a hero.

All set. Make me proud. Hero. We'll do.

Sister. Start the prayer. Right. Captain Obi,

good luck. Shinra, aim for the core.

That boy is a devil.

The flame is the soul's breath.

Repulsive. What a twisted smile.

The Black Snake is the soul's release.

Ashes. Thou wert and.. Art. May thy.

Go.

Wow. The third generation is as strong as they say.

To the great flame of fire.

Latam.

Sister is is my wife. Her soul is safe.

She's been returned to the great fire.

Shinra put her to rest swiftly so she wouldn't suffer.

Thank you, Sheena. I'm grateful. You set her free.

Feels pretty good, right? You'll be receiving

cheers like these from now on. My little hero.

I'd say you've taken

a pretty big step towards that goal of yours.

What
