History Characters / FireForceSpecialFireForce

* SayItWithHearts: Some of his lines have a star inside them to highlight his cheerful attitude.
* RedIsHeroic: Has red hair and is a life-saving priest who leads the front line to victory.
* RedOniBlueOni: Is the hardheaded passionate guy with Flam being the cooler levelheaded one. Bonus points because of their contrasting colors.

* NotSoDifferent: Shinra and Rekka have a lot in common as people with boundless hope and a desire to save people. And they always smile. The difference is that one is seen as a demon and the other is a priest.

* StockShonenHero: Rekka has all the basic elements. He's all about HeroicSpirit and determination, despite being a bit dim. Having the most basic fire powers in the series and pulling his way to success with hot-blooded passion while trying to inspire others and believing in his friends. [[spoiler: [[DeconstructedCharacterArchetype Deconstructed]] when he is revealed to be the killer, as his passion and naive outlook mean that he will never stop and will never back down from his dream.]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Phillips (English)

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Despite the above trope, Burns often ends a fight once he's proven his point or gotten the information he needs. PlayedForLaughs when he stares down [[spoiler:Joker]], having seemingly forgotten that [[spoiler:[[WorldsStrongestMan Benimaru]] is on the other side and willing to fight as well. Burns then remembers he is meant to be helping Joker and Beni in the first place]]. Burns turns around and decides that talking might be the best solution.

* PersonalityPowers: Burns' power is a direct parallel to his personality. [[spoiler:He compresses his fire inside his body and creates an [[BattleAura unapproachable aura of heat]]. Burns also hides all of his passion and most his emotions to create a stoic and unapproachable persona.]]
* MagicEnhancement: Part of his mysterious fire power is that it enchances his normal strength and resistence.

* ColorCodedCharacters: They each over a different primary colour for a hair colour in the anime.

* PowerTrio: Karim, Rekka and Foien form this.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Fulham's hair is dark blue and it's one of the weirder colours in this series.

* LogicalWeakness: He is an amazing martial artist and that makes him unbeatable in a fist fight. [[spoiler: But karate is reliant on stable footing so changing the landscape can limit his ability. And if you can shut down his fire then his attack strength drops.]]

* RedOniBlueOni: Is the hardheaded passionate guy with Flam being the cooler levelheaded one. Bonus points because of their contrasting colours.

* BrickJoke: [[spoiler: when TheBusCameBack, Shinra greets him with a salute but corrects himself to not cause offence.]]

* CrisisOfFaith: Subverted. [[spoiler: He refuses to give up in his religion, even if the foundation of it is corrupt, because he believes that people need to have faith in things. And if he can't believe in a higher power, he chooses to believe in his comrades.]]

* SeriousBusiness: He takes offence to the other Fire Force officers visiting cathedrals in military uniform.

* CoolOldGuy: Onyango might be old, but everyone respects him. He's willing to try get back in shape to better support his Company.

* CaptainOblivious: Of a sort. He and Company 2 seem obvious to the conspiracies, counter-conspiracies and corruption happening around them.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Given the proper motivation, Juggernaut becomes an dangerous force.

* DressedInLayers: Wears what must be dozens of Fire Force uniforms on top of each other. This means that stabbing him means your might not hit his real body. Shinra lampshades this by mentioning it makes him near immortal.

* NotDrawnToScale: Noto's body shifts size from 'pretty tall' to 'hulking monster' depending of his mood.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: He says that other members of the Fire Force have made it 'this far' when talking about his knowledge.[[spoiler: After escaping from the Nether, Shinra finds out that Burns has clear understanding of the White Clad situation and the Adolla.]] How Giovanni knows this is anyone's guess.
* LackOfEmpathy: On her darkest day, Hibana could at least care for some people in her life. Giovanni is marked by both his refusal to care for the problems of other and putting people in terrible situation to aid his plans.

* OhCrap: Pretty much the only moment he's panicked was realising just how strong Akitura is.

* MoreDakka: For all his genius, Giovanni ultimately relies on as much heavy weaponry as he can carry when strategy fail him.

Company 4's commanding officer, former firefighter and current headmaster of the Fire Force academy. While he's getting on in years by now, he is still a force to be reckoned with due to his [[MultiMeleeMaster frankly ridiculous skill with fire fighting equipment.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: Hague is a master firefighter and can use a fireman's axe with great skill.

* TheHeretic: Again, his beliefs clash with the church. He believes the Adolla Realm is the root of human belief in gods and devils. He keeps his beliefs to himself, but is open to the idea of starting a {{cult}}.

* MouthOfSauron: He plays this role a couple of years ago for the Tokyo emperor by speaking on his behalf. At least, form [[ACertainPointOfView Benimaru's perspective]] when Hague formally welcomes Asakusa's fire department to become Fire Force Company 7. While he does list all the benefits of joining the Empire's forces through creating Company 7 and TheEmpire itself isn't necessarily evil, the whole deal he represents reeks of AnOfferYouCantRefuse to the weakened and anti-imperial Benimaru. Hague himself seems to realise this and basically excepts them to come around in a few days.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Hague is a odd fellow but he is still a sensible leader who will weigh the odds quickly and carefully both acting.

A commanding officer in Company 4 and a instructor at the Fire Force Academy. He was one of Shinra and Arthur's teachers back in the day. When he isn't running training exercises or playing with his whistle, Pan is leading operations for the Fire Force.

* CharacterTics: He often blows into his whistle. Sometimes giving entire orders through those sounds alone or interrupting his own explanations

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: 'Flamy Ink'. It massively boosts his strength by wrapping his body in fire. It's rumoured in-universe that in this state in can rival Captain Burns in raw destructive power. The problem is that it risks turning him to charcoal very quickly.

* ThisMeansWarpaint: Flamy Ink give him white-hot markings across his entire body that look like warpaint.

* {{Boobs of Steel}}: She's one of two female captains, has total mastery over flame control, and has by far the biggest breasts in the series - ahead of Maki, Tamaki, Haumea and even Arrow.

* CoolBigSis: Used to be this to the younger sisters and eventually became one to Iris. Eventually Iris stopped stops calling Hibana 'sister' in the ecclesiastical sense and begins to call her 'Nee-san'.
* DarkActionGirl: and is first major villain in the series and very powerful. Even after her {{HeelTurn}}, she still carries this attitude.

* DefrostingIceQueen: After her defeat she begins to act more like the good natured older sister she used to be. She's still TheBaroness, but it's more playful and she puts the act away.

* HeelFaceTurn: After realising how much her sister looks up to her and finding a hero she can rely on, Hibana becomes a useful ally to Company 8.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: She knows her limits and will accept defeat pretty gracefully when she realises that it's her best option.

* PetTheDog: She might not like Viktor but she [[spoiler:warms him that he is danger when Haijima realize they don't need him.]]

[[folder: Conehead]]

Director of Medicine and Captain of Company 6, Huang triples as a firefighting exorcist doctor. Company 6 is in charge of medical care for pyrokentics among the Fire Force, meaning when she isn't cutting down Infernals Capatin Huang is preforming surgery. Often in the span of the same hour.

* BadassPreacher: Company 6 is almost completely made of members of the Holy Sol Temple because the empire's laws state that only the Church can preform medicine. Kayoko herself views the Adolla Burst as sacred and is worried about the Sun God striking down Company 8 for their nonsense.
* CombatMedic: Huang treats fighting Infernals like handling medical patients. Cutting them down with surgical tools and treating every single stage of the fight as calmly as humanly possible, and even refeers to defeating them using surgical and medical terms. Outside of that, she also works as a normal doctor and is trusted with risky surgeries thanks to her powers and skill.

A Lieuenant in Company 6 and nurse. Asako is also the granddaughter of Company 4's captain.

Quite possibly the strongest person in the entire Fire Force, Shinmon is one the least reliable members of the organisation due to his distaste for the Empire and its methods. These opinions are common with Company 7 and their hometown of Asakusa. He exists as an oddity within the cast as a Composite Fire Solider, someone who has Second Generation flame control and Third Generation fire creation.

* AchillesInHisTent: Benimaru is the strongest person in the Fire Force but refuses to get involved with the Empire's affairs because he opposes the government. It takes a oath of brotherhood between him and the Captain of Company 8 for him to begin helping the investigation.

** DidNotThinkThisThrough: He didn't seem to realise that this might cause Company 7 a lot of trouble until he'd already kicked down the door.
* GodzillaThreshold: When fighting the demon in Akasuka, Benimaru rams it into the sky before resorting to using the technique that almost killed Konro two years ago. However Benimaru was less worn out than Konro was at the time so it just overheats him temporarily.
** Benimaru ''himself'' is the Godzilla Threshold called in when situations get real bad. The problem is that he sometimes doesn't answer the phone when other Companies call him for help. [[spoiler:Joker makes certain to visit Beni in person to ask his help when he goes after the Church's hidden scriptures. Joker could have been killed if Benimaru wasn't convinced but the risk was worth it.]] [[spoiler:Subverted when Captain Burns appears - on the one hand, Joer and Beni acknowledge Burns as the biggest obstacle they have to overcome, suggesting that Benimaru is so strong that nobody else would have stood a chance. On the other hand, Burns ultimately decides to aid them instead of confronting them.]]

* LastNameBasis: He prefers to be called 'Shinmon Benimaru' by the people he doesn't like, which is basically everyone loyal the Tokyo Empire. It's part of his traditionalist lifestyle.

* MightMakesRight: He is the ruler of his town because he is too monstrously strong. However, Benimaru rarely spouts this belief. In fact, he feels that because fighting ability is ''all'' he has, he is unfit to lead and would prefer the physically frail Konro to be in charge.
** [[spoiler:He overcomes his doubts when he realises the people look up to him for his charisma and embraces his position.]]

* WorldsStrongestMan: He can use both types of abilities to an expert level and has an amazing skill for martial arts. It's believed that characters like Burns and Kurono could rival him but he's still roundly accepted as the strongest. Benimaru himself seems aware of this and he's also the one of the three who makes big pubic displays of his power. Possibly because everyone treads lightly about starting a fight between them is aware that The list of characters on his level is extremely small.

The Lieutenant of Company 7 and Benimaru's advisor. Although he is a Third Generation fighter, a brutal fight two years before the series began left him permanently scarred and sickly. As a result his body and firepower are incredibly weak. In spite off this, Konro is an extremely friendly and noble.

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Demon Infernals are near invincible machines of death and power. Konro had to cripple himself for life, but he won against a Demon. He had to turn most of his arms into fuel for his flames and burned them to charcoal to do it, Konro has been sickly ever since.
* CareerEndingInjury - He can still use his powers for a few seconds. But after they activate, Konro collapses in pain. In Asakusa, [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority where the strongest get to lead]], this means Konro doesn't even considered taking charge.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: When [[PapaWolf he thought some of the local children where endangered by the Ash Knights]], he was willing to force an answer from a cultist. He might not be able to use his arms well, so he makes use of his boot heel and threats instead.

** Even through he's mostly powerless, his swordsmanship is so good that he can still kill a foe with a single slash.

* CreepyTwins: Two of them, Hikage and Hinata, from Company 7; they praise an old lady's sweets as "her last effort before she dies" and are excited to see Shinra's flame dancing after saying it's going to be stupid-looking. [[spoiler:They are also extremely dangerous fighters.]] People think that they are copying Benimaru's rudeness and bad behaviour but Beni insists he isn't ''that'' rude.

Captain of the illustrious and religious Company 1. Burns is a highly respected and powerful member of the Fire Force and also saved Shinra's life 12 years ago.

* TheAce: He's the captain of the most respected unit in the Special Fire Force and one of the most powerful officers around.
* AnimalMotifs: Leonard Burns is linked to lions. He is noble, majestic and powerful, while also being aloof and passive. In terms of power and reputation, he is also top of the food chain.

* BadassPreacher: He doesn't look the part nowadays, but in his younger days Burns wore the full robes. Much like his lieutenants. In his older years, Burns still prefers religious gestures over military salutes and can dish out damage like nobody's business.
** It's easy to view him as a Fire Solider who is also a priest. Meanwhile his Company are all priests who happen to be Fire Soldiers. [[spoiler:Which might explain why he resents the cardinals of the Temple slowing his operations.]]
* BattleAura: Burns creates one that is so strong it can stop attacks and even knock people away from him.
* BlatantLies: Acts like he has no memory of pulling Shinra out of a burning building, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday saying he's pulled hundreds of kids out of danger over the past 12 years and couldn't remember who Shinra was.]] Shinra knows he is lying through his teeth. [[spoiler:Burns is trying to keep Shinra as far away from the Fire Force and the conspiracy as he can, so he hides what he knows about his family's death to try and scare him away.]]
** Later meetings involve Burns using a mixture of BrutalHonesty and the BluntYes tropes to talk to Shinra and basically everyone he meets.
* BringIt: Burns opens his fights and sparing matches with this as an order. Give his power, Burns often turns this into a PreAssKickingOneLiner within a few seconds.

* LongRangeCombatant: Let's see. She has a move that causes most opponents to collapse without a fight, a [[MoreDakka fireball spam attack]], a rain of scorching embers that makes an entire area hazardous (and makes it harder to reach her), and an attack that traps an opponent in a tornado of fire. Every single one of these moves aims to keep opponents as far away from her as possible. At close range, if her Heat Syncope fails, she has zero options and can be knocked out with a single punch.

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Despite all her bluster, she does still attend church service and visits the rave of her sisters often. Sometimes cleaning it by herself.]]

* SitcomArchNemesis: Her relationship with Obi eventually becomes this. She'll sometimes abuse her power to annoy him (like having his desk down several flights of stairs while he's absent).

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has a darker skin tone than most of the cast. It seems to be her natural complexion.

* DefrostingIceQueen: After her defeat, she begins to act more like the good natured older sister she used to be. She's still TheBaroness, but it's more playful and she puts the act away.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Hibana crossed it after her and Iris' nunnery burned down and became twisted and mad for money and power, the only things that matter in the world.]]

* WorldsStrongestMan: He can use both types of abilities to an expert level and has an amazing skill for martial arts. It's believed that characters like Burns and Kurono could rival him but he's still roundly accepted as the strongest. Benimaru himself seems aware of this and is He's also the one of the three who makes big pubic displays of his power while they are it's still .

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/{{Lynn}}

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses - Known as 'Princess Hibana', for some reason.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/TaitenKusunoki

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Karim is almost incapable of being concise. He willing talk in circles over and over often using the same words.

* IronicEcho: Karim always has his ally's back and can protect them from surprise attacks. [[spoiler:He sneaks up on Rekka and freezes him solid.]]
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:Has a pretty bizarre one when confronted by Shinra and Arthur.]]

* BadassGrandpa: He was the first firefighter to become a solider in the Fire Force. Making him one of the oldest captains and he's probably the most athletic. Driving out of second-story windows and landing with grace.

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:When the White Clad take full control of the church, Burns's broken faith leads him to willing follow orders of the White Clad.]] Time will tell if he's faking it or not.

* AnArmAndAleg: While he successfull blows Orochi up, he loses his right arm and his left leg in the fight.

* DestructiveSaviour: He will protect his hometown and it's people. But he tends to cause massive damage while doing so. The people actually adore him for this.

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He is killed right after establishing his strength by destroying an entire army of Infernals by himself, he is killed off in one hit by Orochi.]]

* TheAce: The only character in the series shown to have composite powers - with the Flame Control of a 2nd Generation and the Flame Creation of a 3rd Generation. He's widely accepted as the strongest member of the Fire Force, defeated all of Squad 8 on his own, took down all but one of the Church's team of assassin's single-handedly, and even killed a demon on his own without taking any damage. For reference, it took several squads full of Fire Soldiers working together to kill another demon, and Shinra was only able to do so by using the Adolla Burst.

* BadassTeacher: A viable training method is having recruits fight Benimaru over and over again until they learn how to take a beating and how to fight back.

* GodzillaThreshold: When fighting the demon in Akasuka, Benimaru rams it into the sky before resorting to using the technique Konro used to kill a demon two years before in exchanging for carbonizing his body. However, because Benimaru is stronger and less worn out, it just overheats him temporarily. Benimaru himself is also the Godzilla Threshold called in [[spoiler:when Joker decides to go after the Church's hidden scriptures and face the assassin squad. Joker could have been killed by Benimaru if he failed to convince him. Subverted when Captain Burns appears - on the one hand, the fact Burns was implied to be the last obstacle in their way suggests Benimaru is so strong that nobody else would have stood a chance. On the other hand, Burns ultimately decides to aid them instead of confronting them.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Beni, the Seventh Brigade leader, is rude and lazy but he really does care about his crew and the civilians around him (even if he blows up their buildings every time a flame person appears).

* WorldsStrongestMan: He can use both types of abilities to an expert level and is an incredibly talented martial artist.
