Every Fire Force captain brings something deadly to the table. Some specialise in brute force, others in tactical finesse or near-supernatural endurance. Whether they fight on the frontlines or command from the rear, each of them is a warrior forged in fire.
This list isn’t about who’s weak. It’s about who stands tallest when it matters most. From precision fighters to unstoppable powerhouses, here’s how every Fire Force captain measures up when the flames start rising.

8. Kayoko Huang
- Division: Captain of Special Fire Force Company 6
- Classification: Third Generation Pyrokinetic
- Abilities: Flame Healing, Accelerated Regeneration, Disease Curing, Pain Suppression
Kayoko Huang is more surgeon than a soldier. Her Ignition Ability lets her heal wounds by boosting cell regeneration, making her the best combat medic in the Fire Force. She even saved Shinra’s life during the Netherworld arc.
While she lacks raw firepower, her precision and calm under pressure make her deadly in her own right. Every fight is a procedure, and she always brings the right tools to finish the job.
7. Sōichirō Hague
- Division: Captain of Special Fire Force Company 4
- Classification: Unknown (possibly non-pyrokinetic)
- Abilities: Expert Weapon Use, High Reflexes, Tactical Restraints, Surprising Agility, High Durability
Hague’s ability let him ignite the air around him, creating sharp, close-range strikes. But what made him dangerous was his madness. He smiled through violence and welcomed chaos like an old friend. That unpredictability gave him an edge, but also held him back.
He burned fast and recklessly. Hague could surprise enemies, but couldn’t win long fights. In the end, his lack of control and mental stability made him more of a wildcard than a reliable powerhouse.
6. Giovanni
- Division: Former Captain of Special Fire Force Company 3
- Classification: Second Generation Pyrokinetic (modified with cybernetics)
- Abilities: Mechanical Pyrokinesis, Insect Physiology, Consciousness Transference, Tactical Intelligence, High Durability
Giovanni was more machine than man by the time he left the Fire Force. With spider-like limbs and magnetic tricks, he could move fast, vanish, and strike from weird angles. He leaned heavily on tech and deception.
But when the gadgets failed, so did he. Against stronger foes like Joker and Shinra, Giovanni struggled to hold his own. Smart, slippery, and strategic — yes. But in raw combat, he didn’t match the others.
5. Hibana
- Division: Captain of Special Fire Force Company 5
- Classification: Third Generation Pyrokinetic
- Abilities: Flame Petals, Heat Manipulation, Area Subjugation, Scientific Analysis
Hibana turns heat into pain. Her “Clematis” technique scorches the battlefield with cherry blossom-shaped flames that cause unconsciousness and heatstroke. She doesn’t need to touch her opponents to defeat you; she can easily break them from a distance with her flame petals.
She’s dangerous because she knows how to break her enemies without lifting a finger. Her style is controlled, elegant, and cruel. She doesn’t go in swinging, but once her traps are set, few escape.
4. Gustav Honda
- Division: Captain of Special Fire Force Company 2
- Classification: Third Generation Pyrokinetic
- Abilities: Flame Headbutts, Incredible Strength, High Speed, High Durability, Human Cannonball Attack
Gustav Honda is built like a tank and fights like one, too. As the captain of Company 5, he’s all about overwhelming strength and defensive durability. His flame ability reinforces his body, letting him take and deliver punishing blows on the front lines.
He might not have flashy techniques, but his sheer toughness and close-combat dominance make him a wall few can break. In the chaos of battle, Honda is the last man standing.
3. Akitaru Ōbi
- Division: Captain of Special Fire Force Company 8
- Classification: Non-Pyrokinetic
- Abilities: Peak Human Strength, Master Strategist, Weapon Expert, Hysterical Strength
Captain Obi has no flame powers, but what he lacks in pyrokinesis, he makes up for with raw grit. Trained to superhuman levels and armed with fire-resistant gear, Obi has stood against Infernals and lived to talk about it.
His strength lies in his leadership and unshakable will. He can’t bend flames or fly through the air, but he’ll take the hit and keep swinging. Obi’s not the strongest, but he never backs down.
2. Leonard Burns
- Division: Former Captain of Special Fire Force Company 1
- Classification: Third Generation Pyrokinetic
- Abilities: Voltage Nova, Flame Manipulation, Incredible Strength, High Durability, Enhanced Heat Resistance, Hand-to-Hand Combat Mastery
Burns hides a volcano under his calm exterior. With his flame-enhanced body, he becomes a tank, taking damage others can’t survive and dishing it back with brutal force. His flames boost his durability and close-range power.
He’s walked through Adolla-level threats and emerged mostly unfazed. Burns doesn’t flaunt his power, but when he fights, it’s explosive. He’s a veteran who can go head-to-head with monsters.
1. Benimaru Shinmon
- Division: Captain of Special Fire Force Company 7
- Classification: Second & Third Generation Hybrid Pyrokinetic
- Abilities: Hybrid Pyrokinesis, Flame Manipulation, Explosive Power, Superhuman Reflexes, High Durability, Master Swordsman, Tactical Genius
Benimaru is in a league of his own. As the only hybrid Second and Third Generation pyrokinetic, he doesn’t just create flames, he manipulates them mid-air with pinpoint accuracy. His “Hinokagutsuchi” attacks level entire districts.
He fights like a natural disaster. Quick, brutal, and precise. No one else overwhelms enemies like Benimaru. The Evangelist fears him, the empire respects him, and everyone else just tries to stay out of his way. He doesn’t lead a company, but he influences the entire war from behind the scenes.
