For years, humanity has been plagued by the chaotic phenomenon of Spontaneous Human Combustion, randomly transforming individuals into violent, flaming creatures known as Infernals. While the first-generation Infernals made up the initial accounts of this phenomenon, subsequent generations birthed pyrokinetics, those gifted with the ability to manipulate and control flames while remaining human. To address the Infernal threat and investigate its cause, the Tokyo Armed Forces, Fire Defense Agency, and Holy Church of Sol created the Special Fire Force. Shinra Kusakabe, a young and ambitious third-generation pyrokinetic, known as Devil's Footprints for his explosive ability to ignite his feet at will, joins the lively Special Fire Force Company 8. Tasked with extinguishing Infernals and laying their souls to rest, Shinra strives to become a hero and save those threatened by the flame terror. However, the reality of the Fire Force is far from Shinra's idealized vision. The organization is divided, Infernal sightings are on the rise in Tokyo, and a mysterious group claims to hold answers related to the fire that killed Shinra's family 12 years ago. Despite numerous obstacles, both within and outside the Fire Force, Shinra is determined to uncover the truth behind the inferno mysteries that have plagued him for so long.
