The1gairon Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 On the plus side, I am relieved to see that the fanservice character finally has story relevance.

Why isn't she able to fight back? What did he do when he knocked her out the first time? 1

Daos Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 I'm still confused as to how this plan was supposed to work. I mean if he left her alive to take the blame... she'd kinda tell people everything he did? This writing isn't very good.
ben0119 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 I guess that explains why this article was written. I saw the headline but haven't read it yet, since it had spoilers for the first 8 episodes. https://www.cbr.com/fire-forces-tamaki-bad-treatment/ 1
Daos Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 And also if his goal was to find someone compatible with the little fire bug.... why wouldn't he just keep testing people secretly one at a time? Instead of literally right in front of other Fire Force members?

Instead of literally right in front of other Fire Force members? Well she was supposed to stay out cold, or just die. Then after everything was done, Rekka would say Tamaki did it. But since she woke up and saw everything he has to kill her. I think?

But yeah, I kind of accepted in the moment that she got knocked out for trusting him and maybe when she woke up from that she was still half out of it so maybe she couldn't activate her powers but in that case it would have been cool if they had had her say something like being frustrated her powers weren't activating or something and then brought those feels. Since we know she can supposedly normally do stuff like 2

If they find her dead in the fire.. how in the world would that implicate her as the evildoer?

Well we saw her try to conjure her flame cat parts but then they fizzled out, so I guess she tried but it didn't work. That could have been made more clear. 1
Sketch Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 I compared the episode that aired to the simuldub stream. No edits. That said, it seems like the anime is self censoring Tamaki antics and Rekka beating up Tamaki. Rekka is a real sick SOB. I wish Tamaki was the one that gets to kick his ass. 3 1
OwlChemist81 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Posted September 15, 2019 "You STILL adore me!!!" -- Sorry, Rekka, that isn't how it works! Once you're revealed to be a complete asshole who lights people on fire out of ambition, people have the right to stop adoring you. Shinra saves the day!!! And Rekka got "Rekk'd!" https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/fire-force/episode-8/.150591 Rating: 3⭐. Hopefully next week turns up the heat! 2 1

Even at 400 you're considered less popular than the second season of Infinite Stratos... and Chaos Head. 1
PokeNirvash Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The currently lowest rated anime on MAL is #11183. #900something is far from "pretty bad", compared to that. 1 2

This guy doesn't seem too bright. Actually no, because he asked her to leave at first didn't he? So she was going to leave, and then he was going to murder everyone with flame bugs and then somehow.. not get caught?

When she doesn't, he knocks her out. Then when she wakes up he says he wanted her to live and take the blame, that he should have squeezed harder. Then Rekka says he's going go to make it look like she burned herself. So he was going to pin the blame on her... by just saying she did it? Lol.

His plan was to let her leave and then get her convicted of multiple murders based on his word alone? Ok.... 1

I would think he would have at least tried to drop one of those bugs in her pocket to plant evidence on her, but nope! It also makes me wonder about the level of forensic science in this world. Hibana was able to determine that some Infernals were induced by those bugs by testing the DNA and finding the bug DNA inside the person. So is this kind of thing not standard? Especially when everyone is supposed to be trying to find out what causes human combustion? Is Hibana really out of the ordinary for testing the Infernals' bodies and remains?
