Fire is, naturally, an essential element in the world of Fire Force. Spontaneous human combustion causes people to transform into flaming monsters out of nowhere, which can only be destroyed by the pyrotechnics of the Fire Force Brigade.

Today, we’re taking a look at the 5 most creative fire powers in this series; from plasma to trajectory control to freezing and more, it’s amazing to see what Atsushi Okubo has come up with!

Unfortunately, she has a bit of a complex about her figure, not believing herself to be as feminine as the curvier Iris and Hibana. Don’t worry, Maki—you’re perfect just the way you are!

In contrast to Shinra and the rest of Company 8’s relatively simple character designs, Princess Hibana looks like she just walked off a Paris runway. Her firefighter jacket is custom trimmed with fur and fits closely to her body, and the white dress she wears underneath is more suitable for a cocktail party than a battleground. She even has flower patterns in her eyes! She definitely wouldn’t fit in at an actual fire scene, but she’s perfect as an over-the-top anime character.
