Three reasons you should be watching Fire Force right now

If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if firefighters had superpowers, wore slick uniforms and battled spontaneous human combustion with gravity-defying stunts, Fire Force is the anime you didn’t know you needed. As season 3 heats up (pun fully intended), here are three blazing reasons to jump aboard this adrenaline-fueled ride.

The action sequences will set your screen on fire

Forget tame battles — Fire force redefines anime action with jaw-dropping fight choreography that feels like a symphony of flames and fists. Thanks to the creative genius of David Production (the studio behind JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), every explosion, kick and plasma blast is animated with meticulous detail. The recent showdown between Shinra Kusakabe and Captain Burns? It’s already being hailed as one of the best anime battles of 2025. If you crave edge-of-your-seat combat that’s as stylish as it is spectacular, this is your arena.

A world where firefighting meets fantasy

In Fire Force, the job of a firefighter is less about hoses and hydrants — and more about exorcising fiery demones called Infernals. Set in a steampunk-inspired Tokyo, the series blends science fiction, theology and mystery into one smouldering cocktail. WIth pyrokinetic squads who wield everything from flaming swords to infernal summons, the lore is rich and the stakes are sky-high. It’s not just firefighting — it’s world-saving, with a flick of a match.

Characters that burn bright in your memory

Yes, Fire Force serves up spectacle, but it’s the characters who make you stay. From Shinra’s devilish grin (and equally devilish speed) to the eccentric charm of Arthur Boyle — the self-proclaimed ‘Knight King’ with a plasma Excalibur — every member of Company 8 is widely memorable. Add in complex rivalries, heartfelt backstories and a sprinkle of classic anime humour and you’ve got a crew you’ll root for long after the smoke clears.
