Enen no Shouboutai: Ni no Shou (2020) — Story, Release Date, Rating

Synopsis:

The series follows Shinra Kusakabe, a member of the Special Fire Force, grappling with the weight of his responsibilities as he strives to protect others from pyrokinetic threats. Haunted by past encounters and driven by a desire to mend fractured bonds with his family, particularly his brother Shou, Shinra confronts a growing global crisis. A shadowy organization known as the Evangelist seeks to reignite a devastating historical cataclysm by harnessing the power of individuals gifted with Adolla Burst.

Shinra and his comrades find themselves at the forefront of a desperate struggle against this looming threat, navigating complex moral dilemmas and uncovering long-buried secrets about the origins of their abilities. The narrative explores themes of familial obligation, the burden of heroism, and the consequences of unchecked ambition, set against a backdrop of intense action and supernatural mystery. As new powers emerge and the Evangelist's plan nears fruition, Shinra must confront not only external enemies but also his own internal struggles to safeguard the future.
