Fire Force is returning with Season 3 after more than four years since the second season concluded. Written by Atsuhi Ohkubo, it is considered one of the best new-gen series, famous for its unique worldbuilding and storytelling. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic era, making the plot even more intriguing as the characters try their best to make the world a better place. Following Shinra Kusakabe, we witness his journey as he becomes a Fire Soldier in hopes of finding out the truth behind the tragic fire that killed his mother and younger brother.

What Is the Episode Count of Fire Force Season 3 Cour 1?
Since the third season of the anime is divided into two cours, we can expect at least 24-26 episodes total. The episode count hasn’t been officially released yet, but we can consider it will have a standard of 12 episodes minimum. The first two seasons of the anime also consist of 24 episodes each, so this is a reasonable speculation. The details will be shared at a later date.

Is There a Release Date for Fire Force Season 3 Cour 2?
For now, the second cour only has a release window of January 2026. Both cours and their release windows were announced simultaneously. The first two seasons of the anime released 24 episodes each without a break. However, this time, the studio is going all out with the animation and visuals since it’s the final season. Releasing a season in two cours has become a norm in recent years, encouraging David Production to follow the trend as well. We can expect more information about the second cour once the first part releases all its episodes.

What Will Happen in Fire Force Season 3?
As mentioned earlier, this will be the final season of the anime, covering the manga from the Obi’s Rescue Arc to the Epilogue Arc. The second season adapted the manga till Chapter 174, ending things on a major cliffhanger. The third season will include the final fight against the White Clad and the Evangelist, as the Fire Soldiers must stop another great cataclysm. In a shocking turn of events, everything they know the world is built upon crumbles right in front of them. The opponents will be nothing like they have ever faced before, and the situation will only continue to get worse with the Captain of Company 8’s arrest in Obi’s Rescue Arc.
