Enen no Shouboutai (2019) — Story, Release Date, Rating

Synopsis:

In a world scarred by spontaneous human combustion, known as "Infernals," humanity faces a constant threat from those transformed into volatile beings of flame. Generations later, individuals with pyrokinetic abilities emerge, dedicating themselves to containing and extinguishing these infernal outbreaks. The Special Fire Force of Tokyo is assembled to combat this phenomenon, comprised of diverse units navigating internal conflicts and escalating dangers.

Shinra Kusakabe, a young pyrokinetic with a unique ability to ignite his feet, joins Company 8 with aspirations of heroism. However, he quickly discovers a darker reality within the organization, grappling with rivalries between brigades and a growing number of unexplained Infernal appearances across the city. Driven by a personal tragedy linked to the origins of the combustion, Shinra must confront hidden truths and uncover a shadowy conspiracy while striving to protect those endangered by the ever-present threat of fire. The series explores themes of duty, loss, and the complexities of fighting against an unpredictable and deeply unsettling force.
