Fire Force Ep 16 We Are Family is out and we will be breaking it down. As this is a breakdown there will be spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled please stop now and go check out the video either at Funimation or Crunchyroll. Or wait till it airs on Toonami which I will let you know when it does. AGIAN SPOILERS AHEAD.
We start off with getting a little history to the world continuing from the last episode which started telling us how flames consumed almost everything. During this time we get one person and followers wondering what is left until they find a flame. This must be the adolla burst as we have been told by Joker it saved the world as well as almost destroyed it. But that segment doesn’t last long as we have to help Vulcan and convince him that the man who has been trying to recruit you is done being nice and is going to kill you.
Now the captain of company 3 intentions are aware to Shinra thanks to his flames. Adolla link which we saw back in the last episode when he was alerted about Benimaru being attacked by an arrow. This time he since the captain of company 3 who intends to kill Vulcan. The issue is numbers as we only have Shinra and Arthur who can fight back. The best bet is too manage the situation with Shinra acting as look out leaving Arthur and Iris to convince Vulcan to get out.
Now when Giovanni sends his men to kill Vulcan you might recognize one of them. That is because we have seen him in the flash back as to why company 8 was formed. Flail being his code name is set to go against Arthur who is enjoying this in a sense. (For some reason not realizing what he is using is not a horse.) This as Shinra is taken out by Giovanni But he gives the group the opening they need. The one issue is they were infiltration long ago by Lisa. Lisa and Giovanni are here for the key to Amantarasu. Something Vulcan doesn’t know anything about. This As Arthur boost seems to be gone whether it is from fatigue or that he because he realized his horse was a donkey is hard to say.
Vulcan seems to be telling them honestly as he might no have been show this. Remember his Grandfather and dad were both turned infernal thanks to Giovanni so they might not have had the chance to tell him. Another thing is that we see Giovanni showing he is a little unhinged as starts destroying things in the work shop. You have to take into account the fact that to Vulcan if it breaks it is ready and flawed. That is why kicked that engine in ep 15 and smashed Yun prototype. If they break easy then they won’t wok well. To him then as Giovanni is breaking his workshop it must mean that his dream is flawed and that is where we end the episode.
