A captains’ conference is convened to allow the Special Fire Force to discuss the situation with the Evangelist and the White-Clad. Shinra once again has an encounter with Joker, in which startling information about Shinra’s brother is revealed.

While Company 8 searches for clues about the Evangelist, Hinawa recounts the tale of how the company originally came into existence. A lead prompts the crew to pay a visit to Company 7’s jurisdiction in Asakusa, and its captain, Benimaru.

Before being discharged from the hospital, Shinra is visited by Captain Burns, who offers to tell him all about the fire that happened 12 years ago, but only if Shinra can demonstrate that he is strong enough to hear the whole truth.

Company 8’s junior crewmen take in a day of shopping for some new clothes for Lieutenant Hinawa, but their excursion is interrupted by the appearance of a giant Infernal. The 8th prepares for the annual Special Fire Force beefcake calendar shoot.

A widespread outbreak of fires stretches the members of Company 8 thin. Shinra tries to keep Charon and his men from taking Inca. With a shortage of ecclesiastical assistance, the crew members cannot put the Infernals to rest fast enough.

Benimaru continues to push Shinra and Arthur to their limits in order to unlock their Hysterical Strength. Captain Huang examines Konro at Hibana’s request, as she tries to uncover the mysteries of those who have been touched by Adolla.
