Story By #RiseCelestialStudios

Fire Force Season 3’s second cour has received a main trailer (labelled as official trailer 2 by Crunchyroll) ahead of its newly announced January 9 (effectively January 10 at 1:53 AM JST) Japanese broadcast start.

Accompanying these was the reveal of Takanori Nishikawa‘s “Ignis” as the opening song and Survive Said The Prophet‘s “Speak of the Devil” as the ending song. Additionally, Hochu Otsuka is the voice of Hibachi Shinmon.

Fire Force Season 3’s first cour premiered in April 2025, almost five years after Season 2 began in 2020. Prime Video’s synopsis reads:

Shinra and the team are about to uncover the world’s greatest secret. But just as the other Special Fire Force Companies unite to face the looming disaster, Obi is captured by the Tokyo Imperial Army, and Company 8 is branded as traitors. Hunted by the Empire, they must fight alone to rescue Obi and stop the Evangelist—all while a new assassin and the corrupt Captain Burns block their path.
