Fire Force Season 2 Ep 17 Boys, Be Weak is out now and we will be breaking it down. Since this is a breakdown there will be spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled stop now and go check out this episode and other over at Funimation or Crunchyroll.com. AGAIN SPOILERS AHEAD.
Okay so Company 8 and the white clade are here at Hajime for Nataku. Haumea made things difficult for both parties by making him unstable. In his unstable state he begins to use his ignition agility which is him using a radioactive laser. At least that is what is happening as Arthur is being used as a human EMP against Haumea so she can’t control people.
Shinra makes a connection with Nataku and we see it wasn’t just Rekka that had him messed up but the pressure itself. Insane pressue as he got a B and his mother got it a lecture from his father that she isn’t doing enough. This has translated from grades to testing with Kurono. Now you would think that might calm him as it gives him someone to talk to but it only upsets him more.
The issue with that is with him losing it Nataku lashes it out and creates a blast that could destroy the Japan the same way the great calamity could. Charon though won’t let that happen and he takes it. He takes a thermal nuclear blast able to destroy Japan and sends to the Moon. It takes him out in the process as in he is to tired to move.
With that done this upset Kuro. To him everyone is weak and he likes to pick on weaklings. Thus he has to stop Nataku now. As such he conjures a sword and then just cuts away at this infernal until he gets to Nataku. Once he does so he actually tells him something calms him down.
Just be stay weak. Stop looking to the future and so you will do this or that and just be weak. It is weird but it is Kuro telling Nataku to just be a kid. Something he has not heard from anyone. With it coming from someone who was asking so of him he calms down. With him calm we see the white clad leave as Charon sees Kurono as his gradian and he does fit the bill as Kuro did calm him down.
From there we see things do change as Hajime stops the extreme testing. It may not be what they wanted but it helps the kids the way company 8 wanted to and they keep Nataku out of the white clad hands. The only thing is we are left with the president as he is playing a gameboy.
The conversation gets heated quickly as the president suggest for Shinra to let them experiment on him and in return they will not kill Licht. This leads to a talk about Amantarasu which the president explains that yes we know there is someone in there but it is the best we can do. Keep in mind Tokyo itself is powered by Amantarasu. So it isn’t as easy as turning it off. The president then offered to have Shinra use them for another reactor to which Obi stopped and said he can save more people by with the fire force. Then Vulcan came in.
Vulcan comes in and says he will make a reactor that will not need a someone with a adolla burst. Of course Haijme is for it. They are a business doing the best it can. it isn’t right but it is all they can do. If there is a better way then great. This again works out well for company 8 as Nataku is safe and Hajime doesn’t turn on them as they wouldn’t survive.
