“Fire Force” Season 3 continues to deliver intense action and shocking revelations. Episode 7, titled “Sleeping Truth,” sees Company 8 in dire straits after the battle with Leonard Burns and the White-Clad. However, a familiar face arrives to turn the tide, while Hibana uncovers a disturbing truth about her past.
Recap: From Prison Break to Convent Secrets
Picking up where Episode 6 left off, Shinra and Company 8 are reeling from their encounter with Captain Burns, who was dragged into Adolla by his doppelganger. Akitaru Obi is still in danger from the Infernal Bug inside him. Just as the White-Clad close in, a masked figure appears, Benimaru Shinmon disguised as “Moonlight Mask,” arrives to save them.
Meanwhile, Princess Hibana, along with Huo Yan Li and Karim Flam from Company 1, investigates the St. Raffles Convent to uncover the truth behind doppelgangers. Their search leads them to a hidden basement, where they discover unsettling information about the convent’s past and its connection to the White-Clad’s experiments.
Benimaru’s Grand Entrance as Moonlight Mask
Benimaru’s appearance as Moonlight Mask is both ridiculous and awesome. Despite the obvious disguise, he effortlessly holds off the White-Clad, including Dragon and Charon, demonstrating his immense power. He flies Company 8 towards Asakusa, ensuring their escape.
The Truth Behind St. Raffles Convent
Hibana’s investigation takes a dark turn as she discovers a hidden basement in the convent with books about agriculture, insects, and other seemingly useless information. She realizes the horrifying truth: the sisters at the convent were pawns in a doppelganger experiment, and the children were raised like crops, fed Adolla Bugs to turn them into Infernals.
The episode implies that Sister Sumire, who ran the convent, was a member of the White-Clad and orchestrated the tragic events that took the lives of most of the children, with only Hibana and Iris surviving. The episode ends with Sumire appearing behind Hibana, Karim, and Huo Yan, suggesting a confrontation in the next episode.
The White-Clad’s Plan
Haumea reveals that the true purpose of capturing Akitaru Obi was to force Iris to become the next Pillar. With Iris’s transformation, all the Pillars are gathered, bringing the Evangelist’s plan closer to fruition.
