Fire Force Season 3 Episode 11 Recap: The Great Kaiju Battlefront
Episode 11, The Great Kaiju Battlefront, begins with the shocking emergence of a mysterious pillar from the sea, poised to be the first of eight. Company 8 is on high alert as Hibana begins questioning its greater implication. Licht ominously notes that the Great Cataclysm may already have commenced.
Soon after, a gigantic Kaiju Infernal appears. It results in an uneasy alliance between Companies 2 and 4 and members of Haijima Industries, featuring Oguro and Kurono. As the threat escalates, Shinra Kusakabe senses the danger of destroying the pillar and rushes to the battlefront to prevent disaster. Unfortunately, Company 2’s Juggernaut, commanded by Captain Gustav Honda, launches an attack on the pillar. Shinra steps in and takes the blast head-on.
Schop then warns that the pillar is linked to an undersea volcano, and its destruction would release magma all over Tokyo. Meanwhile, Kurono dives into the sea to rescue Shinra. As tensions between the combined forces begin over who controls him, a new character from the White-Clad, Faerie, arrives out of nowhere.
Faerie releases gravity-defying powers, flipping everything and suspending everyone mid-air. He then kidnaps Shinra with ease, leaving everyone stunned. Meanwhile, the Kaiju Infernal continues to destroy everything in its path until Company 4 arrives just in time to protect civilians. With a strategy by Pan Ko Paat and intel by Juggernaut, Ogun lands a critical hit on the Infernal, allowing Kurono to finish it off.
Just when the fight appears to be over, Faerie reveals that the entire battle unfolded according to the Evangelist’s plan. Even Infernal’s defeat was part of a ritual. As Sho Kusakabe comes and looks over the carnage, he makes up his mind in silence to save his brother, leaving the episode on a chilling cliffhanger.
What to Expect in Fire Force Season 3 Episode 12
With the Titan Infernal finally defeated and Shinra abducted by Faerie, Episode 12 is expected to pick up from this tense cliffhanger. Everything now points to Sho Kusakabe taking the spotlight as he goes after Faerie in a desperate attempt to save his brother.
Given the path the anime is taking towards the manga adaptation, there is a strong likelihood that the episode will begin adapting from Chapter 215. While Faerie seems to have done his job with the Evangelist’s ritual, his next move is unknown, and that adds an extra layer of tension to what promises to be the first cour’s final episode.
