About this deal

Not every fight is awkwardly animated. Some of the fights are really good, like Benimaru, the strongest fire bender vs a demon; Shinra vs the red-haired guy from the 1st division; Shinra vs a demon, but starting from the middle of the show the fights became pretty hard to follow. However, this is not the hero's game Shinra imagined. The Fire Force is a fractured mess of feuding brigades, abnormal Infernal sightings are increasing all over Tokyo, and a shadowy group is claiming to have answers to the strange fire that caused the death of Shinra's family 12 years ago. Faced with many obstacles within and outside the Fire Force, Shinra fights to uncover the truth behind the burning mysteries that have kept him in the dark. The comedy is… there. The “comedy” usually consists of - a girl slipping out of her clothes for no apparent reason; Shinra and Arthur threatening to kill each other; a girl showing her tits or ass; Arthur claiming to be a knight but being ignored and a girl being molested. All these three situations are used to provide “comic relief”. The comedy also includes Maki shouting about someone calling her a Gorilla Cyclops. This joke was funny the first time, but after a 100 times, it became pretty annoying.

The anticipation has been real, and the moment has finally arrived. Yes, you’ve guessed it – the new Fire Force Funko Pops (Wave 2) release. Now, instead of merely watching your favorite characters battle Infernals on screen, you get to have them right there with you, making your connection with the anime world even more tangible. Although Shinra interacts with many characters throughout the series, two of the most important are Tamaki Kotatsu and Sho Kusakabe. Tamaki Kotatsu Personally, I don’t care about the characters, except Joker, he was pretty cool, but it’s a shame that he only gets about 2 seconds of screen time in the whole show. I like the Joker cause he’s cool, not because he’s a well-constructed character. He’s brought in to tell Shinra about the main events that concern the plot and then he disappears. The show brilliantly flames our curiosity as we unravel the mystery behind these combustion incidents with our protagonist, Shinra Kusakabe.Funko! What’s next? Coming soon reveals, unofficial leaks, rumors, predictions, and what to expect in the near future from Funko As we watch Shinra evolve, we realize that beneath the intense fights and fiery animation, there’s an underlying depth, a burning desire to explore themes like sacrifice, friendship, and heroism.

His burning ambition to become a hero and solve the fiery mystery behind his family’s demise has endeared him to us. The complex world-building, the meticulously designed characters, the blend of high-stakes drama with bursts of comedy, and, of course, those visually stunning action scenes that leave us wanting more – it’s all right there, in compact, collectible form. Fire Force offers one of the more original takes on Shonen, instead of being about a kid out to get stronger or take on the world, we get a story about a world in which humans live in constant fear of suddenly exploding and turning into flame monsters. I wasn't expecting much when I started Fire Force. I'd already heard about the excessive fanservice, so I knew this wasn't going to be a high quality show, but somehow Fire Force reached lower than my already low expectations.As a young boy, Shinra lived with his infant brother and mother. On one unfortunate day, he woke up to see that his house had caught on fire and witnessed his mother being swallowed by the flames. His younger brother, Sho, was not found but was presumed dead, though Shinra continued to believe otherwise. From this moment on, Shinra developed a habit of giving a devilish grin whenever he was distressed. This habit, along with the mysteries surrounding his family’s house fire, caused others to think that Shinra was the one who set it ablaze, leading to a shunned childhood. As he grew up, Shinra kept his childhood dream of becoming a hero despite the devilish nature that he was labeled with many years ago. Special Abilities In essence, Wave 2 is not just a collection but a celebration of the captivating universe that is “Fire Force.” Watching the first episode, I remember thinking to myself “Man, this show is sure going to have some fire fights”, but only the first episode has any good fights. The fights that occur after the first episode are so badly choreographed that neither you, nor the characters can figure out what’s happening. I, in most fights, had no idea as to the spatial relations between the characters who were fighting. One scene they’re having a stare down, the next scene they fly towards each other, the next scene we see Shinra’s feet and then the fight is settled. After that the camera focuses on someone’s face for a bit too long and then abruptly cuts to another fight happening somewhere in the vicinity. Secondly, the characters. They're all flat, uninteresting, and undeveloped. The women are especially frustrating. Each one fits a specific trope: Maki is the masculine but wants to be feminine with the typical anime girl body, Iris is the pure virgin with the typical anime girl body. Then there's Haibara, the 20 year old femdom who's lusting after a 17 year old. Fanservice girl is the most insulting. Tell me why she's from the 1st district Fire Force team yet we never see her fight or even be semi useful? Instead she's reduced to a dumb, disgusting joke of a character who is constantly groped or stripped without her consent. I thought we had moved past such moronic, misogynistic tropes, yet here we are. Why make her a 3rd generation fire user and then make her absolutely useless in a fight. She became a fire fighter for a reason?? Even when she was isolated with Iris (who can't fight because she has no powers) during later episodes we didn't get to see her fight the bad guy. Instead she was useless the entire time. Honestly, I'm incredibly disappointed to see such sexist depictions.
