Fire Force EP4

aka: it’s raining men

..Is heavy rain really that bad?

Why are there multiple men just laying on the floor? And why is this lady sitting in a chair made of more men?

Ah, she’s the leader of company 5.

Oh, those men are like her catwalk.. and they look like they enjoy it.

No news about Joker hm?

I know it’s only been one episode, but it feels like so long since we’ve seen Iris.

“This is Arthur Boyle, lord of Camelot. What is the nature of your message?” god I love him.

Oof Maki! What a strong hit!

I see that doodle on your paperwork Arthur.

That ain’t no “dog” stuck in a tree, that’s a full grown man in a costume.

So this dude killed four people and got off free with no punishment? That can’t be good.

Oh, he became an infernal.. I guess that’s punishment enough right?

Or not.. he seems to be taking this rather well, too well actually.

Company 5 has some details on Joker too it seems.. and so many men.

Ooh our boys are in trouble.

Arthur! That leap!

Oh! OH! My boy with that wonderful landing and that punch!

Ah, that one Maki scene from the teaser trailers.

Poor Sputter, again.

So infernals can live if they’re attached to life and their will is strong.

Oh that shot did some damage though.

Shinra caught up to him quick!

Oooh that glare! Shinra, you wonderful beast!

And he knew the infernal was bluffing! Fantastic.

Oh? That sure was a graceful little entrance Hibana had.

That’s a weird ability, and what’s with this talk about gravel?

This company is.. odd.

The rain stopped so suddenly too.

Company 5 may be taking the infernal back to study it but I highly doubt they’ll share any info with 8th.

Toru Kishiri.. his ability reminds me of that one cloud shinobi in Boruto from the chunin exams, ya know, the one also with the exploding gum.

Maki you’re too good.

Hinawa actually approved of the violence this time, aw!

Iris and Hibana seem to have some history, or at least know each other for some reason.

Ah, they did censor and fix some of the ending.

Dr. Stone EP#01 - Stone World: After five years of infatuation, Taiju Ōki is about to confess to his love to fellow student Yuzuriha Ogawa. Suddenly, a green light turns every human on the planet into stone and 3,700 years later, nature has taken over. Taiju manages to break free from his imprisonment and soon meets up with his genius friend, Senku Ishigami, who had awoken six months earlier. As the only two humans freed from stone, Senku seeks to rebuild civilization in this "stone world" using his knowledge of science and Taiju's brawn to help him develop a nital solution out of a miracle water made from bat guano that could possibly free people from their petrified state. After a year of development, the two friends manage to create a successful blend of "revival fluid".

gen:LOCK EP#04 - Training Daze: Training for the gen:LOCK program continues, and though the recruits show progress, they have a difficult time forming a bond as a team. Julian talks to Miranda again, who warns that the group could have trouble on the field if they do not improve their communication. Julian apologizes for not reaching out to her, explaining he knew with his situation that there was a chance he would die on her again before they could be reunited, and understands that she moved on through her relationship with Jodie. Miranda hesitantly raises the possibility of them starting over. Migas lets Cammie know she can overhaul the endoskeleton of the Holon units for a better center of gravity, and hints that he's working on some other design modifications. Exhausted from training, the group takes a break in the Ether, a virtual reality hub for recreation. Before they can do anything, however, the Ether starts to glitch. Unbeknownst to Chase, his sister Driana (who he assumed was lost in New York) is also in the Ether, and she spots him just before it shuts down. The Holons are dispatched to Dallas's Data Center for the Ether, which the Union are trying to take down. They manage to defeat several of the Union's tanks, and the grunts are able to secure the data center, but the group is confronted by a giant Union mech that ambushes Cammie and severely damages her Holon, leaving her unable to fight but still alive. The rest of the gen:LOCK team manage to force the mech to retreat and Yaz helps Cammie by mind-sharing with her Holon unit. Dr. Weller and Colonel Marin are the only ones not left bewildered at what the Union mech was.

Fire Force (VS. Special Fire Force Company 5 Arc) EP#05 - The Battle Begins: Shinra finds Iris praying in the chapel, but she denies anything is troubling her. During training Captain Obi warns the rookies about the second generation cases who cannot start fires but can control them, which also makes them formidable opponents, especially as he proposes that Company 8 will be using force to get information about Infernals from Princess Hibana and Company 5. Meanwhile Iris visits Princess Hibana to reduce tensions between the companies, but Hibana plans to use her as bait to attract Company 8. Shinra arrives and issues a challenge to rescue Iris, followed shortly by Lieutenant Takehisa, Maki and Arthur. They subdue most of Company 5, but then face Toru Kishiri's highly explosive Backdraft Bubblish Gum. Takehisa hits him with multiple ricocheting bullets, and Takehisa and Maki are confronted by the Angels Three while Arthur faces Conehead accompanied by the captured Infernal, which has been chemically enhanced. Company 8 slowly gains the upper hand while Shinra gains entry and prepares to rescue Iris from Princess Hibana.

The students are given various challenges by alumni from the school, who are brought in to serve as judges. The first challenge for Soma's group, which includes Megumi and the Aldini twins Takumi and Isami, is to make a dish that can be served at a Japanese restaurant using ingredients gathered from nature in the area surrounding the kitchen. They are judged by former Second Seat Hinako Inui. Takumi, heir to his family restaurant in Tuscany, "Trattoria Aldini", challenges Soma to a duel to see who can cook the better dish, as they both specialize in diner-style dishes. Most of the students gather fish while the Aldini twins find a duck. They are the first to complete their dish and pass the challenge.

Lupin the 3rd Part 5 EP#11 - Get Pablo's Collection: Just before New Year's Day, Lupin remembers a former caper in which he and his gang attempted to grab the legendary collection of Pablo, a notorious drug kingpin who disappeared in the South American jungle. Eventually they discovered Pablo's secret hideaway for his collection of first-class vintage cars, but found themselves challenged by a car which was strangely invulnerable to their attacks. Lupin dared his opponent to a race across Pablo's old jungle race track and won; the challenger was revealed to be the ghost of Pablo himself, and his car collection, long since overcome by degradation, to be nothing but scrap metal. In addition, they were hunted by Pablo's surviving family members, who were after the collection themselves, and their corrupt Brazilian Army cohorts. Although initially intent on fleeing on their own, Lupin, Jigen and Goemon ended up battling their pursuers together, while Fujiko just barely made her escape alone.

Asta admits he admires Langris’ abilities but has no respect for his forgetting that the exam was supposed to be about working together. Langris tries killing Asta but is knocked out, causing his crystal to be destroyed. At the same moment Asta’s own crystal falls apart and their match is declared a draw. As always Zora both mocks and gives advice to everyone, including himself for not trusting his teammates. Asta passes out surrounded by all the magic knights who agree they must work together. The next match is Luck’s team against Captain Rill’s. Luck, Klaus and Puli combine their magic into a super-fast lightning arrow, but Rill redirects it, destroying their crystal instantly. In the next match Yuno beats the opposing team by himself without help from Noelle or En. Julius announces that the final match will be Yuno, Noelle and En versus Captain Rill’s team.
