Inca Kasugatani, Joker and other 8 strongest characters in Fire Force
10. Inca Kasugatani
The character was introduced in season two of the anime as a Fire Thief. Kasugatani goes to the house that might catch fire in exchange for some kind of payment, as she can predict the scent of the flames beforehand.
Inca is a former member of the White Clad and also the Fifth Pillar, which means she has the Adola Burst. She was seen as someone who shouldn’t be messed with because she was able to match up with Charon when the brute challenged her in a battle.
9. Joker
Joker has always been a mysterious figure, initially portrayed as a villain, but later turns out to be a self-proclaimed anti-hero, whose only objective is to guard the Fourth Pillar, Shinra. Joker was abandoned when he was a child and was later picked up by a group of assassins, known as Holy Sol’s Shadow, who raised him by the name, Five-Two.
Joker is a pyrokinetic from an unknown generation and is very good at close combat due to his assassin background. He is also extremely smart and a capable fighter who was able to keep up with Sho Kusakabe and Leonard Burns.
8. Sho Kusakabe
Sho, the younger brother of Shinra, was kidnapped by the White-Clad after awakening the Adola Burst when he was a baby, henceforth becoming the Third Pillar. While growing up, Sho was brainwashed to serve the Evangelist and become the commander of the Knights of the Ashen Flame.
Sho is a fourth-generation pyrokinetic, and his ability allows him to take in from the expanding universe to slow down time. Apart from his time-slowing ability and sword skills, he has superhuman strength and speed. Despite his young age, Sho has bested his brother and Faerie on many occasions, and they both possess more firepower than Sho.
7. Arthur Boyle
Arthur is a third-generation and a second-rank member of the Special Fire Force Company 8. He was introduced as comic relief for the narrative, who is obsessed with knights and believes himself to be one. However, when it comes to fighting, the character can rival Shinra or any other strong character in the series.
Arthur is a knight to his core, so a plasma sword, Excalibur, and unrelenting confidence are his main weapons. He possesses immense speed as he was able to avoid and counter Sho’s Severed Universe, and he was even able to endure training from Benimaru and keep up with Shinra in boss fights, which is a testament to Arthur’s immense strength and durability as well.
6. Haumea
Haumea is a third-generation pyrokinetic and the actual leader of the commander of the Knights of the Ashen Flame. She made Sho the commander, so that she could avoid the duties that come with the title. She also has the Adolla Burst and is known as the Second Pillar.
Haumea looks and sounds goofy, but she is very sharp, and her powers are extremely dangerous. She utilizes her Ignition Ability to release and manipulate the electricity surrounding her. So she can control the electrical signals of the brain and turn anyone into her puppet. Further, Haumea is also considered one of the trickiest opponents of the Company, as she can also read her opponents’ minds and predict their attacks.
5. Charon
Charon is a member of the White-Clad, who served as the Second Pillar, Haumea’s guardian, since she was five. He wears a blind fold and is one of the members extremely loyal to the Evangelist.
Charon is huge and very good at hand-to-hand combat. His ability allows him to absorb and collect kinetic energy into his entire body through any form of attack. Charon can now release that energy in the form of heat or use it to withstand strong attacks. He is so tough that even Benimaron had difficulty fighting him and called him a “monster.”
4. Shinra Kusakabe
Shinra is the protagonist of the anime, so he was bound to make one of the top. But in the Fire Force anime, Shinra still has some way to go. Shinra is a third and fourth-generation pyrokinetic in the service of Special Fire Force Company 8. He also has an Adolla burst, hence fourth generation, making him the fourth pillar.
Shinra’s main ability, as third third-generation, is to ignite and manipulate flames from his legs, utilizing them as a jet. This ability gives a lot of momentum to his attacks, as shown by Shinra in his multiple fights, especially against his brother, Sho, where he was able to surpass Sho’s time-bending ability.
Shinra is also very durable and a quick learner, as shown in his fights against Leo Burns and Benimaru.
3. Leo Burns
Leonard Burns is a third generation pyrokinetic and also the captain of Special Fire Force Company 1. He is one of the most respected and strongest people on the force. He was there when Shinra’s powers awakened, permitting him to be available to help the little one at the time.
Burns is a force of nature, possessing both attack and defensive abilities, especially when he activates his Voltage Nova. It’s a four-stage ability that grants him an incredible amount of heat energy, making Burns nearly invincible. Both Shinra and Joker were no match for the captain when he unlocked stage 2.
2. Benimaru Shinmon
The fan favorite Benimaru Shinmon is a hybrid user who can use Second and Third Generation pyrokinetic. He served as the captain of Special Fire Force Company 7 and is considered the strongest officer on the force, so he is named “Asakusa’s King of Destruction.”
He is so strong that he was able to take on almost all the Company 8 officers without breaking a sweat. Benimaru is not only considered strong for his hybrid ability but also for his mastery in hand to hand combat and high battle intelligence as well.
1. The Evangelist
The Evangelist is the leader of the White-Clad. Not a lot is known about her origins, which might get covered in the next season hasn’t been seen in combat, but she seems to have godly powers. Evangelist can provide grace to those who have Adola Link, which gives its receivers immense powers and abilities.
The Evangelist possesses inhuman abilities, and she can pass through a Tear in Space, which can cause massive earthquakes. She can also blind those who look at her directly. Right now, her combat expertise has not yet been revealed, but she seems to be a level above humans.
Fire Force season 3 is scheduled to premiere on Friday April 4, 2025, on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
