This season revealed significant lore about the Amaterasu and its reliance on people with the Adolla Burst as a power source.
The Special Fire Force Company 8 gained traction among the various factions as they banded together to fend off the threat posed by the Evangelists and the White Clads, who aimed to secure eight pillars to initiate a catastrophic event known as the Great Destruction.
Furthermore, this season unveiled the existence of two such pillars, while introducing roadblocks in the form of Inka, one of the pillars, who remained unyielding towards Company 8. Shinra and Arthur compressed their training sessions under Benimaru, leading to the awakening of impressive new abilities that will be showcased in the upcoming season.

Transitioning from the content of 174 chapters in Atsushi Ohkubo’s manga, the third season is expected to commence from chapter 175. This exciting final season will highlight Shinra and his comrades as they delve deeper into unraveling the ultimate truths surrounding their world, all while striving to avert the impending Great Disaster.
As the Special Fire Force Company 8 collaborates with other companies, they will face a dramatic shift in allegiances, wherein the Empire may brand them as traitors. This episode could showcase the Imperial Majesty forming an alliance with the White Clad, intent on harnessing the power of the Sun God.
Given the connection between the White Clad and the Sun God’s teachings, the episode might depict a scenario where the Empire issues a warrant for the arrest of Commander Obi due to the protective measures surrounding Shinra Kusakabe, the Adolla Burst user.
Ultimately, the premiere of Fire Force Season 3 Episode 1 signifies the onset of a thrilling journey for Shinra, Arthur, Maki, and their allies at Special Fire Force Company 8 as they navigate through new challenges and adversaries, including an anti-hero who will provide them refuge in their time of need.
