Fire Force Season 3 Episode 10: “Advent” – A Fiery Prelude to Chaos

The Calm Before the Cataclysm

As Fire Force Season 3 ramps up, Episode 10, titled "Advent," plunges us straight into the storm of intrigue and tension brewing between sides poised for catastrophic conflict. Our hero Shinra (voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara) finds himself entangled in a mind-bending mystery with Sho (Maaya Sakamoto), thanks to an enigmatic connection known as the Adolla Link. But wait—what’s this? Sho suspects that Haumea (Rie Kugimiya) might be toying with his memories! Cue the dramatic music!

Sho’s quest for clarity takes center stage, as he slyly tries to rendezvous with Shinra ahead of the impending Great Cataclysm. However, he’s not sailing along unscathed. Enter Arrow, the ever-watchful guardian, who’s not about to let Sho wander into danger alone. Arrow’s unwavering directive to “protect Sho” creates a fascinating dynamic—almost a chilling testament to the manipulative powers held by the White Clad. It’s a careful reminder of how easy it is for mental conditioning to backfire.

Iris Shines Bright

Meanwhile, sisterly ties add an emotional twist as the ever-charismatic Iris (Mao Ichimichi) begins to step into the spotlight. She joins forces with Princess Hibana (Lynn) and the rest of Station 8 in a quest to decode the ominous chaos looming overhead. Iris may seem like the sweet, innocent one in the bunch, but recent episodes hint that she holds some serious untapped power. With Hibana subtly probing Iris about her feelings—and Iris hilariously suggesting bizarre romantic pairings—the episode interjects a much-needed dose of levity amidst the escalating drama.

Scop’s Long-Winded Antics

But not everything in “Advent” is as delightful. The return of Scop, the talking mole with a penchant for long-winded tales, feels unnecessarily drawn out. What should have been a punchy moment of urgency gets bogged down in Scop’s ramblings—talk about a buzzkill! While the intent may have been comedic, the execution left viewers frantically checking their watches.

Building Tension and High Stakes

Once the meeting wraps up, the atmosphere shifts as we return to the White Clad, who are gearing up for the Final Mass. The show’s ability to capture the swelling tension is nothing short of exquisite, and the ominous reveal behind the earthquakes plaguing Tokyo amplifies the urgency.

With just two episodes left this cour, "Advent" serves as a riveting setup for a thrilling climax. The stakes feel enormous, and we’re left wondering how our heroes will rise to the occasion against such dire threats. Despite a minor stumble with Scop’s meandering storyline, this episode leaves you hungry for more—making it a solid 8/10 in our books!
