Biography
Shinra Kusakabe (Japanese: 森羅日下部, Hepburn: Shinra Kusakabe) was a male human born on an Earth that was forever altered by the Great Cataclysm (大災害, Daisaigai) with him being raised by his mother who cared for him and his younger brother Shō Kusakabe by the Year 186. Around 12 years ago, he was in his family's home when Sho's Adolla Burst was activated that created a fire that spread across the house. This also saw his mother transform into a Demon-Class Infernal along with awakening this power within Shinra as well. The young Shinra was unaware that the creature in the home was his mother and attempted to escape but instead passed out. At the time, the Special Fire Force arrived at the scene with Shinra asking them to escape his mother and brother. However, Captain Leonard Burns came to inform him that both had perished in the event with him being the only survivor of the event.
Shinra could not control his Ignition Ability which resulted in him staying at Hajima Industries who came to fit him with liquid nitrogen boots to suppress his ability. During his residence there, he along with the other children were provided no freedom or comforts as they were seen as nothing more than test subjects to the scientists there. The Skill Developing Facility conducted a series of tests on him, but were unable to confirm if Shinra had the Adolla Burst. When he was 13 years old, Shinra was moved out and joined the Special Fire Force Training Academy.
He was en route to Special Fire Cathedral 8 when he responded to an incident at a nearby train station where an Infernal had manifested at the scene. Shinra came to battle the creature when Company 8 arrived there to defeat the threat. During the fight, he came to save Sister Iris and introduced himself to the Company. Later, at the force's headquarters, Shinra formally meets all the members and introduces himself. While settling in his new room, the force is notified of an Infernal and departs to the scene. Upon entering the factory, Shinra gets caught off guard and is knocked out by the Infernal, but is woken up by Akitaru seconds later. With words of encouragement, he overcomes his fear and resolves to fight. Launching himself at the being with his Ignition Ability, Shinra impales his opponent's core and purifies her soul. Outside, he overhears spectators cheering and is praised for his actions, much to his delight. Akitaru informs Shinra that he will be participating in an upcoming rookie competition, alongside a new recruit, which makes Shinra excited, as he sees it as a chance to meet the man who had saved his life. Shinra bumps into Arthur and gets into a fight with him. When Takehisa approaches the two, he orders Maki to fight the new recruits. Shinra is defeated by Maki's Second Generation ability limiting his own powers. After eating at Ippudo Ramen, Shinra is given a battleaxe to deal with an Infernal in the Iriya District in a domestic setting. Upon arrival, Akitaru pulls the two aside for disobeying his orders to conceal their weapons and explains his reasoning. After their conversation, a burst of flames emerges from the apartment, prompting the force to storm the building and find the Infernal. Arthur volunteers to put the man out of his misery, much to Shinra's confusion, and impales his core. Immediately after, the ceiling begins to collapse and Shinra watches on as Akitaru risks his life to save a family photograph for Mikako. Afterwards, he apologizes to the man for not being of any help during the mission.
Shinra participates in the Rookie Fire Soldier Games, where he meets Tamaki. Later, he finds Leonard Burns and approaches him. After introducing himself, Leonard ignores him and leaves, and Shinra wonders whether the man is hiding something from him. When the exam begins, Shinra flies into the building where he discovers two unconscious people and Joker. After the man reveals that he knows of Shinra's past and threatens to kill the injured people, Shinra attacks him, but to no avail. Joker rewards him for his efforts and tells him Shō is still alive, baffling Shinra. The boy questions Joker and attacks him with multiple fire-enhanced kicks. When Arthur and Tamaki discover the two, Shinra tries to warn them, but Arthur ignores him. When Joker uses an unknown substance to put their lives in jeopardy, Shinra grabs the two unconscious people and tells Arthur to cut a hole through the ceiling so they can escape. In mid-air, before Shinra could save Arthur and Tamaki from falling, Leonard jumps in and rescues Tamaki while Arthur is rescued by their teammates. Later, Akitaru promises to tell him the reason Company 8 was created. The following day, Akitaru explains to Shinra how and why their force was founded and informs him that the other Special Fire Forces are hiding something on their own end. They are then provided with information of the substance Joker had used by Takehisa. Shinra goes with Arthur to rescue a dog, who was reported to be stuck in a tree, and, after it tells the two that a trial for the release of Setsuo Miyamoto will be held soon, helps Mamoru hand out balloons to children. The two then learn of an accident in the courthouse from Takehisa, who was moving to the scene with the rest of the force. After giving Arthur a lift, the two Fire Soldiers fight the Infernal, with Shinra kicking the opponent and delivering a collaborative attack with Arthur. When Setsuo escapes, Shinra is told to catch up to him and Takehisa assures him that the threat has to be taken care of without prejudice. After Setsuo threatens to kill an innocent kid, Shinra stops him. The two then start their confrontation, with the Fire Soldier dominating the fight. When Shinra corners Setsuo and cuts off his right forearm, Hibana descends in front of the two. Hibana gazes at Shinra, causing him to collapse and orders him to lick her shoe as he is restrained by the 5th Angels Three. After noticing an innocent kid being pushed out of the way, Shinra becomes infuriated and repels the angels away. He stands and challenges the Special Fire Force Company 5 to a fight as his own force arrives. Tōru Kishiri mocks Akitaru, which leads to Shinra and Arthur jumping in, but Maki and Takehisa detain the two, and afterward the two forces depart.
The next day, Takehisa approaches Shinra and demonstrated his ability, informing him that they will be facing unique abilities later on. Then he begins training the Fire Soldiers on the roof and informs Shinra of Hibana's past. In the church, he stumbles upon Iris and sees her crying. At night, Maki bursts in the room and informs Shinra that Iris has gone missing. Soon after, Shinra heroically arrives at the Special Fire Force Combine 5, where he is ordered to locate Iris. During his search, he infiltrates a mansion, where the Angels of the 5th attempt to attack him, but find themselves defeated with a swift kick. As he bursts through the door claiming the hero has arrived, he finds Iris being tormented by Hibana. a to feel dizzy and fall to the ground. Instead of accepting the loss, Shinra thinks the ability is nothing but simply his imagination, and through sheer willpower, manages to stand up steadily. Shinra goes in to attack, but due to his dizziness, falls to the ground and is tormented by Hibana's Cherry Blossom attack. Afterwards, he is trapped in a whirl of flames. Refusing to give up for Hibana's sake, Shinra overcomes her abilities and lands a punch on Hibana, knocking her unconscious. When she wakes up, Hibana describes how she was always relied on by her Sisters but she herself could never rely on anyone. This is when Shinra jumps up and states he will be her hero whenever she needs one, to which she blushes. A little while later, Shinra attended the dinner party held by the 5th as a backup plan for infiltrating it, allowing him to explain to the higher-ups that it was simply a late-night training collaboration.
Upon returning to base after defeating another Infernal, Company 8 and Hibana end up irritating Akitaru as he's trying to concentrate. Akitaru eventually decides that Shinra and Arthur need to infiltrate the 1st Special Fire Force and uncover any secrets they may be hiding. A while later, Shinra arrives at the 1st Special Fire Fighting Cathedral along with Tōru Kishiri and Takeru Noto. As he walks inside, Shinra meets Karim Flam and later encounters Leonard Burns with a sinister grin. Shinra doesn't hesitate to ask whether the newcomers can practice their own skills against those of the 1st in a practice-battle, much to everybody else's surprise. Everybody gathers in the training grounds, where Shinra witnesses Takeru battling Rekka Hoshimiya while Karim used his refrigeration ability to protect everyone. Afterwards, Shinra observes how powerful the Lieutenants are before preparing to fight Burns alongside Arthur. When Arthur finds his attacks effortlessly blocked by Burns, Shinra quickly jumps in with a flurry of kicks, but the Captain manages to parry them with ease. Shinra continues to rapidly attack him, hoping to defeat Burns and uncover his secrets about the incident 12 years ago, but Leonard comes out unharmed. Questioned on his reason for joining the Special Fire Force, Shinra expresses his desire to become a hero and save people from the Phenomenon. Despite previously beating Hibana, Burns proves too much for the young soldier and defeats him with a seemingly invisible blow. Shinra, annoyed at his loss, realizes how dangerous a threat from Company 1 would be. The next day, while in the dorm talking with the other trainees, Shinra is ordered by Tamaki to assist Karim in stopping an Infernal. When they arrive at the scene with Arthur, Karim orders him to stay put and help with gathering information. While looking around, Shinra spots a figure in clerical robes injecting a man with some sort of Bug, causing him to turn Infernal. Shinra and Arthur chase down the mysterious figure, only to discover Karim and Rekka standing together. Wanting to avoid a fight against one or both of the Lieutenants, Shinra lies about his actions and returns to the Cathedral with the rest after the situation is contained. Shinra and Arthur break into Karim's room to investigate, coming across the type of Bug used earlier in his desk. Karim catches the two and calmly explains that he has also been investigating the insect and a series of bizarre Infernal sightings involving children. The trio realizes that the only possible suspect for the earlier attack could be Rekka. They then set out to find and capture the killer, despite Karim's concerns.
Later on, while looking for Rekka from the sky, Shinra comes across a sudden noise from an abandoned warehouse, and soon notices flames coming from the structure. He descends into the warehouse and stomps on Rekka's face to stop him from killing Tamaki. While trying to rescue the injured girl, Shinra is attacked by Rekka and the two begin to fight. Rekka realizes that Shinra's flames are reacting with his Bug, indicating that he's compatible with it and therefore possesses the Adolla Burst. Upon realizing how many people Rekka has killed in pursuit of the Adolla, Shinra impulsively attacks once again, only to be he is knocked backwards into Tamaki, who gently grips Shinra and begs him to stop Rekka. Determined and collected, Shinra calmly examines the situation and creates a battle strategy. Kicking Rekka into the air, Shinra jumps from wall to wall to propel himself to attack from any angle and bait Rekka into attacking. Once Rekka has left himself open with no footing to steady himself, Shinra kicks off the ceiling and strikes the killer with a fiery kick-flip, leaving his face scathed while the impact shakes the warehouse. Shinra is exhausted from the battle and risks overheating if he continues, however Rekka rises up to battle even if it means destroying his body. Rekka's ranting reveals his master, the Evangelist's, ultimate goal of creating a second Sun, and Shinra demands to know if his group was behind Shō's disappearance 12 years ago but to no avail. Karim intervenes by trapping Rekka in a pillar of ice. As Shinra takes a breath in relief, a sudden flare of light fired by a sniper shoots through the building and pierces Rekka through the chest, killing him. Despite everyone's shock, the sniper plans on eliminating all witnesses and severs Foien's arm with a second barrage. Shinra is ordered by Karim to use his ability to create a dust-storm in the room to blind the sniper and counter their attack. Through Karim's strategy the attacker is forced to retreat and Shinra's exhaustion prevents him from pursuing. After recalling all the recent events of people turning humans into Infernals and kidnapping children to teach the ways of the Sun God, Shinra realizes the preacher was the one who kidnapped Shō. Soon after, while still in the abandoned warehouse, Shinra informs Karim and Foien on the white hooded figures that killed Rekka. Karim then says he wants to help investigate the Evangelist, and he and Shinra shake hands to commemorate their partnership. Later on at the 1st Special Fire Fighting Cathedral, Shinra, Takeru and Tōru prepare to leave the 1st and return to their own forces. As he arrives back at the Cathedral 8, he begins to settle in, regathering his teammates strange antics. Just before he could let loose and relax, he spots Tamaki in front of him, startled. Akitaru then explains that as punishment, she has joined Company 8 until further notice. Shinra then asks about Arthur's whereabouts, to which Akitaru states he is lost. They later file a missing persons report.
Time passes and Arthur returns home. Akitaru has Shinra and Tamaki attend a gathering of the Captains with him in Central Tokyo to discuss recent events. Upon arriving, Shinra sets eyes on the 7th Captain and accidentally offends him. As the emperor of Tokyo arrives, the conference starts, and he talks of all the forces working together to track down the preacher. Raffles then directly speaks to Shinra about his attainment of an Adolla Burst, claiming he should protect it. The Company 3 Captain steps in and suggests that Shinra receives external protection from the Evangelist, considering she wants the Adolla Burst, but Shinra refuses. After the conference on his way to purchase utilities, Shinra runs into Joker in an alleyway. Preparing to fight, Joker calms him, and reveals that Shō is affiliated with the Evangelist, before swiftly leaving. Upon arriving in Asakusa, Shinra's brigade meets Benimaru Shinmon and the Special Fire Force Company 7. Shinra quickly becomes angered by Benimaru's dismissive attitude before they are alerted to an Infernal. After Benimaru disposes of the threat, Shinra helps rebuild the city from the destruction caused by the ordeal. He later plays hide-n-seek with Hinata and Hikage , and then apologies to Benimaru for disrespecting him earlier. Shinra takes the opportunity to ask the Captain about Konro's condition. Re-grouping with his company, Shinra spots flames emerging from within the city and discovers Benimaru attacking Akitaru and Takehisa. Believing Company 8 was responsible for turning people into artificial Infernals, Benimaru attacks the pair, leading to Shinra intercepting the attack and joining Company 8's combined attack against Captain Benimaru. Defeating all except for Akitaru, Benimaru prepares his final attack on Akitaru, but is stopped by Konro who collapses. After the confrontation, Shinra checks to see if Konro is alright, during which he learns how Konro damaged his body after overusing his ignition ability. Upon hearing that Konro will die for his Captain, Shinra makes him promise to ask for his help if things become that dire. Soon after, the brigades discover that the White-Clad has infiltrated Asakusa, and posed as Hikage. Upon the discovery, the city erupts in flames, followed by the group being targeted by a Third Generation's Ignition Ability. Shinra and Arthur depart to search for the sniper, but find themselves under attack by the sniper and her partner. As Shinra and Arthur face the pair, they manage to overpower Haran, leading to him eating a Bug and turning himself into an Infernal with Horns.
When Shinra and the rest of Company 8 arrive back at the cathedral, they are greeted by the brigade's new chief scientist Viktor Licht. After some confusion and odd behavior with Licht and Hibana, Shinra asks the two about the Adolla Burst. While Viktor and Hibana can provide detailed descriptions about the world and the Adolla Burst's impact upon it, Hibana does not know what the Adolla Link is while Viktor deceives him, saying he has never heard of it. Akitaru sends off Shinra, Arthur and Iris to recruit Vulcan for their company, leaving Shinra happy with the responsibility. As the trio walks inside of Vulcan's workshop, they stumble upon Yū, the child Shinra earlier saved from Setsuo Miyamoto. Hearing the voices outside his workshop, Vulcan walks out, telling the Fire Soldiers to leave at once. Soon after, they enter the workshop with Yū's admission. Shinra is jolted on the head by a soda can again, this time by Lisa. Shortly after introducing herself, they are disrupted by the loud banging of Vulcan's engineering work. After Vulcan brutally kicks his machine to test it, Giovanni suddenly arrives at the workshop and Shinra's group listens to his conversation with Vulcan. After learning that Giovanni is also trying to recruit Vulcan for Haijima, Shinra tells Vulcan that his Company was different from Haijima. After the clueless Arthur and curious Iris get into trouble with the robotic animals, much to Vulcan's delight, he decides to show them a stunning projection of world's animals and explains his goal to one day ensure the safety of all animals to the amazement Fire Force members. Shinra smiles and says to himself that Vulcan is perfect for them. After learning of Vulan's background from Lisa, the Adolla Link suddenly alerts Shinra to Giovanni's plan to kill Vulcan. After telling his peers, Shinra devises a plan to locate Giovanni's whereabouts while Arthur and Iris to protect the others in the workshop.
After leaving the workshop, Shinra waits in a tree looking for suspicious activity but is knocked down and strangled by Giovanni. After a brief fight, Shinra is electrocuted into unconsciousness and given over to the White Clad. Regaining consciousness and struggling against his fire-resistant restraints, he is taken away by White Hoods. Hibana arrives and knocks out the two escorts before freeing him from his restraints. Charging back towards Vulcan's workshop, Arthur tells him to get inside the workshop as soon as possible, during which he bypasses Flail and Mirage. Bursting through the workshop door, Shinra immediately knees Giovani in the face. Afterwards, Shinra was overwhelmed by Giovani and trapped in Lisa's tentacle-Ignition Ability. Vulcan then managed to free Shinra using one of his inventions, allowing Shinra to attack Giovani with a barrage of kicks, knocking him through a wall and outside in the process. Shinra ventures outside to continue their battle but stops as the strange feeling in his legs returns. As he looks up to an overlooking hill, Shinra notices his brother Shō looking back at him. Overjoyed to be reunited, Shō immediately approaches and attacks Shinra in hopes of capturing him. Watching his little brother defeat Arthur and Hibana, Shinra was confused at Shō's speed, and did not know what to do. The workshop erupted in flames, swiftly followed by Viktor driving a truck packed with Shinra's group. Climbing aboard while carrying Arthur, the group was unknowingly protected from Shō by Joker. Taken to the hospital, Shinra reported to Akitaru and explains what happened and that Giovanni was a traitor. Realizing that Vulcan might still be in danger, Shinra suggested the best course of action would be for him to stay with them. Agreeing, Shinra was thanked for all his hard work. As Shinra attempts to hide his feeling about fighting his brother, he promised to help Vulcan achieve his dream of reviving extinct animals. While Company 8's allies gather to meet with Akitaru, it waas decided that Arthur and Shinra should gain combat training by visiting the Company 7.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Shinra Kusakabe was a male teenager who had an average height with a slim muscular build alongside short and spiky black hair. Shinra had crimson eyes and especially sharp teeth. His most distinguishing characteristic was his wide, involuntary grin—an unfortunate facial tic that manifested whenever he was nervous, embarrassed, or uncomfortable, often leading others to misinterpret his demeanor as sinister. His eyes were sharp and crimson, reflecting an inner fire and intensity that rarely dimmed. Shinra’s black hair was short and jagged, giving him a slightly disheveled look that matched his rebellious streak. As a member of Special Fire Force Company 8, he wore the standard bunker-style uniform—charcoal-black coat and pants, trimmed with blue phosphorescent lines that glowed in the dark, signifying fire resistance and protection against combustion. The Company 8 emblem was proudly displayed on his gear, and when on duty, he typically wore a black helmet or hood to shield his face from debris and flame, though his distinctive smile was difficult to obscure. The outfit featured neon blue luminescent stripes across the chest, shoulders, and legs, along with a metallic collar and silver-toned buckles. He typically wore his jacket open, revealing a dark undershirt, and he opted to remain barefoot to allow for the unimpeded ignition of flames from his feet. He also carried a protective helmet with a clear visor, though it was not always worn over his face. Kusakabe was known by the name of the Devil (悪魔, Akuma).
Shinra’s personality was marked by a complex blend of heroism, trauma, and relentless determination. Since childhood, he had been driven by the aspiration to become a hero, a dream that burned all the brighter in the wake of personal tragedy—the loss of his mother and younger brother in a mysterious fire, which society wrongly blamed on him. Ostracized and labeled a "devil," Shinra bore the burden of suspicion in silence, choosing not to abandon his ideals but to push harder to prove his worth. He held himself to a strict moral code and sought to protect the innocent, vowing to save others so that no one would suffer as he had. His resolve was often expressed through direct action, and though he sometimes acted impulsively, it came from a deep-rooted need to do good rather than recklessness. He believed that being a hero meant more than strength—it meant resilience, empathy, and the courage to face even the truth of his own past.
Beneath the ambition and smile, however, lay a boy who had been deeply scarred by loss. Shinra struggled with anger and frustration, particularly when facing those who harmed the weak or manipulated the truth. His laughter often masked discomfort or fear, and his strong will masked a quiet loneliness. Yet time and experience tempered him. Through his time with Company 8, he grew from a lone outcast into a trusted comrade and leader, learning the importance of cooperation and understanding that true strength came from supporting others. He formed close bonds with his teammates and refused to let despair define him, even when confronted with devastating truths about his family or his own origins. Shinra’s capacity for empathy, especially toward other Infernals or those afflicted by Adolla, allowed him to reach people others could not, and this emotional clarity was as crucial to his identity as any flame he wielded.
He was said to have this tendency to smile in situations where he was nervous. This came as a result of the ordeal and shock of his mother's death with this manifesting in cases of nervous laughter. As a result, his muscles in his face tended to tighten whenever he felt nervous resulting in his teeth being exposed and his mouth stretching into a smile.
As stated by Shinra, he came to hate fire for how it took his family away from him. However, he intended to use the power he had to avenge his family and stop further such tragedies from happening in the future.
Due to the incident with his family's death, his promise made to his late mother and childhood aspirations of becoming a hero, he has developed an obsession of bringing his brother, Sho, back, once he learns that he is alive. While he is usually quick to be roused to angry justice when dealing with villains, he usually shows nothing but joy when he sees Sho—even if the latter holds only ill intentions for him and the world in general, disgusted with him and being eager to beat him to a pulp whenever they meet—so much so that he calls the brutal battles between them to be 'play time'. His attachment is so strong that he could easily force an Adolla Link through Sho, even though Sho is aware of and actively resists such a link. He has a habit of adding '-man' to any hero name he thought up for himself, insisting of doing so just to complete the "man" (萬) part of the Japanese idiomatic lexeme "shinrabanshō" (森羅万象), where both he and his brother are named after—yet another display of the attachment he holds towards his brother.
He had a younger brother named Shō Kusakabe who he thought had been killed in the fire at their home. After learning he was alive, he attempted to do everything possible to be re-united with him.
Shinra respects Akitaru Ōbi as the Captain of his squad and as someone who fights Infernals without an Ignition Ability.
While Shinra works well with his brigade, his relationship with each member individually differs. Despite respecting Akitaru, he found Lieutenant Takehisa scary, and bickers regularly with Arthur. He respected Maki for her strength and compassion, and Tamaki as a fellow comrade though her clumsiness irritated him. He sees Iris as a friend as well as Hibana though he is unaware of her feelings for him even though he sees her as attractive. Shinra viewed everyone at his brigade as treasured friends whom he wants to protect. Shinra was not afraid to act on his own, even if confronted with multiple opponents and even when he had to take on opponents stronger than him.
Powers and abilities
As a Third Generation, he could ignite his feet at will, granting him incredible mobility, flight, and kicking-based offensive power. Kusakabe demonstrated the ability to ignite his feet at will, generating intense flames that he utilized for both propulsion and offensive combat. He exhibited the capacity to fly and maneuver through the air by releasing continuous bursts of fire from his soles, allowing him to achieve high speeds and execute rapid aerial rotations. In close-quarters engagement, he used these flames to enhance the impact of his kicks, delivering strikes capable of severing or incinerating targets. His physical durability allowed him to withstand the heat and recoil generated by his own explosions without sustaining self-injury. He displayed high-level acrobatic skills, including the ability to perform flips and maintain balance while landing from significant heights. Additionally, he showed the ability to manifest a specific facial expression, characterized by a wide, involuntary grin that revealed a full set of teeth, typically occurring during periods of physical or emotional tension.
Years of conditioning, military training, and battle-hardened experience honed his reflexes, balance, and speed to elite levels. He demonstrated exceptional acrobatic agility, easily performing aerial flips, kicks, and evasive maneuvers without reliance on his flames. His fighting style revolved around swift, fluid motions—largely leg-focused—and he showed a natural aptitude for hand-to-hand combat, using powerful strikes and precise footwork. His reaction speed was remarkable, allowing him to evade attacks in close quarters, even against faster or more physically dominant opponents. Shinra’s body was also highly resilient to damage and fatigue, having withstood brutal conditions such as high-heat environments, shockwave impacts, and direct blows from Infernals or other pyrokinetics. His sheer willpower and pain tolerance allowed him to continue fighting through injuries that would incapacitate others. In the crucible of battle, Shinra’s greatest asset was not just his flame-born powers, but his indomitable spirit housed within a well-forged body.
From childhood, he came to manifest the ability to control fire with him being a Third Generation that had the power to ignite, manipulate and utilise flames that manifested from his feet. Typically, this meant that he left a trail of ashes on the floor with this being in the shape of his feet with these being referred to as the Devil's Footprints (悪魔の足跡, Akuma no Ashiato).
Under Captain Benimaru, Shinra was taught to utilize hand signs and seals in order to redirect and concentrate the energy in his body.
He possessed an Adolla Burst (アドラバースト, Adora Bāsuto) that was a spark of the flame of creation.
Through his Adolla Link, he was able to make a connection with one of the other worldly pyrokinetic beings and attain an Adolla Grace (伝導者の加護, Dendōsha no Kago). This was able to increase his abilities further and fight more powerful foes. In one case, he was able to temporarily grant himself the power of the Grace of the Evangelist (伝導者の加護, Dendōsha no Kago). Under his state, his power allowed him to momentarily dissolve his body and move at the speed of light.
Upon evolving into his final form, Shinra gained the ability to move at light speed and alter causality, effectively transcending human limitations. His flames, both destructive and restorative, symbolized the duality of his nature — the devil’s power used in the service of salvation.
Overuse of his powers over a long period of time could lead to his body overheating with the fire drawing the oxygen from himself.
As a Fire Soldier, he came to join the Special Fire Force (特殊消防隊, Tokushu Shōbōtai) where he came to be assigned to Special Fire Force Company 8 (第8特殊消防隊, Dai Hachi Tokushu Shōbōtai).
