Que dupla más maravillosa e inesperada la de Joker y Benimaru.
4.5
Es que no hay nada más qué decir o resaltar, ellos cargaron sobre sus hombros este volumen. Me ha gustado conocer más sobre el pasado de el Joker y sus intenciones reales, qué motivaciones tiene. Y Benimaru es mucho Benimaru, de mis favoritos.
Y sí, sería un tomo perfecto porque tiene revelaciones importantes y que me dejan un poco confundido pero al final agregan más escenas "chistosas" innecesarias.

واکا و جوکر چقدر خفن بودن!!
از اونور داستان کاپیتان اول با جوکر شوکه کننده بود.
و لیشت. اینکه لیشت اومد گفت و همیشه راست میگه خیلی خوبه.
کلن اینکه آدم های علمی تو همه مانگا ها خیلی راست میگن خیلی جالبه.
و اینکه دارن میرن سراغ هایجما!
بعدن میام راجع به آماتراسو زیر یکی از این ولوم ها مینویسم. فعلن نه.

5/5 Stars (%90/100)
One of my favorite volumes in the series because Joker and Benimaru are my top two favorite characters. It looks a bit like a fan service but the author did a good job getting these characters together. Joker who does not belong to anyone or anything, who also searches for the truth, and on the other hand, Benimaru who believes in Asakusa, its people and himself, also happens to hate the Church. The fight scenes were brilliant and we finally learn Joker's past as well as his true powers. Apart from these, the truth about the Church is also revealed. In Fire Force, the secrets' secrets' have secrets. Whenever we learn more, we also learn that there is more to learn. Like Joker and Licht, we, as readers, are also searching for the truth.

I read a digital copy of this book.
I can't settle for some vague concept revealed to us by a God, only the real answer can surpass God. It is the only truth.
Okay and suddenly my love for Fire Force has been reignited.
We get a team-up of my two favourite characters in this one, Benimaru and The Joker, as they hatch a plan to infiltrate the Holy Sol Temple in order to find the secret scriptures and learn the truth about the church, especially after Company 8 discovered the secrets on the Chinese Pennisula (which they've been told they have to keep a secret for a minimum of three years). They enter the Nether beneath the temple and encounter the Holy Sol's Shadows, an elite force of fighters confined to the shadows who help protect the temple and its secrets and it is here we learn about The Joker's past. As an orphan child, he was brought into the group where he was trained and abused until his escape, and since, the Shadows have haunted him, ensuring he can't return to humanity peacefully.
This volume was filled with fluid fighting scenes, drama, emotion and all the things that made me interested in Fire Force, to begin with. In this series, the secrets have secrets. Nobody is who you think they are, and the volume ends with an unlikely person actually becoming an ally. This volume made me so eager to get back into this series I might just try and keep the momentum going now.

Volume 15 is almost one long “investigation” and or fight of a branch of the Temple of the Holly Sol Church by the Joker and the Captain of Company 7 Benimaru Shinmon. They go looking for trouble and or information about the history of the church and several fights happen. The fights are actually interesting and well done. After a lot of fighting they encounter the Captain of Company 1 who gives them information. The information might not be what they wanted but seems to point at other places to investigate. The other thing we learn is the Joker used to be a member of a special assassins dirty wet works group for the church. Not only does this group do horrible things in the name of god the leader we meat likes to abuse and molest the children he is training. Ick.
Anyway, another solid story. Not only that but the plot really advances.

Me gusta cómo en este tomo Ohkubo empezó a detallar más la cara de los personajes, como queriendo encontrar un punto medio entre un estilo caricaturesco y uno un poco más realista. También, noté que aumentó la cantidad de texto, cosa que la obra lo ameritaba por el rumbo que va tomando. Me encanta cómo de un capítulo a otro ¨Fire Force¨ puede ser una historia compleja y tener buenos giros de trama, a pasar a ser una sitcom con un humor absurdo.

I love the joker so much.

As the cover suggests, Joker finally emerges from the shadows to play a more open and direct role on the plot. Seemingly, he convinces or perhaps tries to convince everyone’s favorite bad boy captain, Benimaru, to participate in his anti-Holy Sol Temple crusade.
As was implied by the previous volume, the Holy Sol Temple and its symbol, the power generator and stabilizer of the resurrected world, Amaterasu, may be powered by people, a truly nefarious and stunning revelation indeed. Perhaps there is some truth to that as the secrets of the Holy Sol Temple were heavily guarded and perhaps rooted in lies tied directly to the person described in the previous arc who appeared during the great cataclysm.
Overall, it is a wonderful outcome and the battle that encapsulated the reveal as well as Burns appearing was fantastic. Joker’s ability was pretty coo, his backstory was emotional, and his vengeance was exceptional.
End of volume teasing of a potential plot to take things to the source, Hajima, makes the next volume potentially interesting. I can not wait to read it.

As with the previous volume, it’s got a smaller arc that further unfolds the core mysteries of the series. This time though, it focused on some characters that were out of the spotlight for too long, and it was very refreshing. After seeing some rather close and difficult fights, it was nice to see some with a decent power differential again.
The setup for the next volume, as always, is intriguing. Can’t wait to see where it goes.

Vol. 15 (Issues 124 - 132)
Benimaru has become my favorite character!
Tired of all the secrets, Joker teams up with Company 7's Captain Benimaru to fight a common foe: the leaders of the Holy Sol Temple! Together they fight their way into the Temple and enter the Nether. While underground, they encounter the Shadows of the Holy Sun (Assassins for the Church). At the end of this volume, another story arc begins as Company 8 prepares to investigate Haijima Industries.

Ohkubo really knows how to write characters. Joker only had twos appearances and I already love him and enjoy a lot to see his past. This volume was way better than the previous simple because had less information, hence easier to understand what’s happening in the world.

And just as more secrets or revealed more questions arise. Joker takes center stage for the first time and gets some awesome backstory. The fights are very nice this would have to be the darkest the manga has gotten thus far. Looking forward to the next volume as always!

The Joker and Benimaru are a duo I never thought I needed.

Wow, Joker used to be part of the Holy Sol Temple! And Hajima is with the evangelist!
Why specifically 3 years....? That seems a random number....

Prowadzone od dłuższego czasu śledztwo w końcu odsłoniło przed członkami „ósemki” prawdę na temat Amaterasu. Sekrety ukrywane od bardzo dawna przez Kościół Świętego Słońca, zaczynają stopniowo wypływać na światło dzienne. Podważa to nie tylko autorytet najwyższej duchowej władzy, co wręcz prowadzi niektórych bohaterów do bardziej zdecydowanych działań. Chęć rozprawienia się za jednym zamachem zarówno z kościołem, jak i Evangelistą jest bardzo silna. Niektórzy zdają sobie jednak sprawę, że nieprzemyślane działanie może przynieść zupełnie inne nieplanowane efekty. Tego typu „problemami” kompletnie nie przejmuje się Joker i Benimaru. To właśnie ta dwójka staje się gwiazdami piętnastego tomu serii. Postanawiają oni dość bezpośrednio i frontalnie zaatakować kościół. Nie spodziewają się oni jednak tego, że na ich drodze staną dość wymagający przeciwnicy, którzy są gotowi na wielkie poświęcenie. Troszkę mniejszą uwagę twórca poświęca Shinrze i pozostałym strażakom. Pojawiają się oni w tomiku prowadząc śledztwo związane z najpotężniejszą korporacją w kraju. Odkryte przez nich dowody będą ważne dla całej historii, jednak oni sami tym razem pełnią w opowieści dość marginalną rolę.
Zasadniczo piętnastą część ognistej serii można podzielić na dwa odrębne elementy. W jednej twórca w swoim stylu stawia na mocną i szaloną akcję. Nie przejmuje się przy tym żadnymi większymi szczegółami, dostarczając czytelnikowi przyjemnej w odbiorze dawki widowiskowości. Przerwy od „ognistych potyczek” w przemyślanym stylu wykorzystuje on nie tylko do kreślenia głębszej intrygi, ale przede wszystkim lepszego pokazania niektórych postaci (szczególnie Benimaru). Na czytelnika czekają tutaj pewne szczegóły jego przeszłości, która mocno odcisnęła piętno na jego charakterze. Obok tego wszystkiego pojawia się również typowa dla serii szczypta humoru. Tym razem jednak żartów jest naprawdę mało i stanowią one jedynie malutki dodatek do pozostałej treści.

The fight for the truth is barely starting.
Great volume overall. So many thing happening, we're back in Tokyo and there's no time for rest. Great to see and learn more of Joker. Such a cool character, shrouded in mystery.
The author really knows how to do fight scenes, they are incredible. Talking about fight scenes, Benimaru Shinmon is back and that makes me so happy :D
That ending was great, a new arc starts and i'm can't wait.

Secrets, secrets, and more secrets all involving corruption, secret factions of organizations, lies, spies, and the impersonation of an important historical figure. Geez, how deep and dark do these things go?!
I'm left asking the same question as Joker: WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
This series has 34 volumes.
