Fire Force Season 3 Episode 8<\/em>, \u201cHoly Mother of Darkness,\u201d tries to balance the dark reveals Princess Hibana discovers with Arthur Boyle\u2019s lighthearted quest to find the real holy sword. <\/p>\n

Princess Hibana comes face to face with her past when Sister Sumire creeps out of the shadows at St. Raffles Convent. Hibana had assumed Sumire died in the same fire that killed most of the sisters, but it\u2019s starting to look like Sumire was the one who caused it. Now that Hibana realizes her former caretaker has always been working for the Evangelist, she uses the chance to test her theories on spontaneous human combustion.<\/p>\n

Since Sumire doesn\u2019t think any of the Fire Soldiers will make it out of the chamber, she humors Hibana. She confirms that Hibana\u2019s theory is right\u2014when people get too close to their Doppelgangers from Adolla, they merge and combust. Then she reveals that: the Great Cataclysm wasn\u2019t an accident. It was actually the first failed attempt to turn Earth into a Sun.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The tragic truth of Hibana\u2019s friends<\/h2>\n

The Evangelist failed the first time because the White-Clad didn\u2019t possess enough pillars. Yet, Sumire boasts that her experimentation has rectified that blunder. Sumire and the convent\u2019s entire purpose was to create more Adolla Bursts. Moreover, now that Iris has all but been confirmed as the last pillar, it appears that Sumire\u2019s vile experimentation was a success. Understandably, Captain Hibana begins chastising Sister Sumire over the death of her beloved friends, which is where the episode makes a chilling turn.<\/p>\n

In an utterly gut-wrenching moment, Sumire demonstrates that Hibana\u2019s friends never died; they were forcibly transformed into Infernals. One of the Infernals tragically calls out in pain to Hibana, but she cannot do anything to save them. It\u2019s unlikely that Iris will stand idly by once she figures out what has really happened to her beloved sisters. Nevertheless, Sumire doesn\u2019t plan on letting Hibana and the Lieutenants leave with this information alive.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The woman in black<\/h2>\n

Sister Sumire launches a surprise attack on Lieutenants Hau Yam and Flam before they can react. Her movements are smooth and fast\u2014she breaks Lt. Flam\u2019s instrument before he even gets a chance to use his Fire powers. Turns out, that wouldn\u2019t have helped anyway. If Flam had activated his ability, it would\u2019ve just made her stronger. Sumire controls vibrations by adjusting how fast she \u201cshivers.\u201d As long as she\u2019s even a little cold, she can wreck her opponents with ease.<\/p>\n

This kind of power is way beyond what you\u2019d expect from a regular Nun. The Fire Soldiers confirm that Sumire is the final Pillar. Even more shocking, she\u2019s behind all the earthquakes that have been happening throughout the series. With Iris now stepping in, a face-off is coming soon. It\u2019s pretty likely the two of them will share an Adolla Link. That same kind of link is how the mysterious woman in black saved the Fire Soldiers from Sumire. She first showed up in Season 2 and helped Shinra take down a horned Infernal in under a second.<\/p>\n

The Woman in Black makes her final appearance and slowly fades away while the Fire Soldiers make their escape. Sister Sumire doesn\u2019t chase them, knowing the world\u2019s ending soon and there\u2019s nothing Hibana can do to stop it. The White-Clad\u2019s confidence in the Evangelist\u2019s plan stays one of the creepiest parts of the show. Nothing Company 8 or the others have done has ever surprised them\u2014especially Haumea. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Arthur\u2019s Quest<\/h2>\n

After his fight with Dragon, Arthur\u2019s sword got destroyed. Vulcan sends them on a plot to gather rare materials to forge a new Excalibur. Lisa and Yu aren\u2019t on board with the plan at first, but change their minds after seeing how much it helps Arthur. Company 8 needs everyone at their best if they\u2019re going to take down the White-Clad. Vulcan knows Arthur better than he lets on and sets up a wholesome scavenger hunt that plays right into Arthur\u2019s wild delusions. Somehow, Vulcan gets the entire town of Asakusa to join in. The group spends the whole day chasing clues and completing quests, leading up to the final stop. But Arthur screws up\u2014big time.<\/p>\n

He completely misreads the last clue and decides it\u2019s telling him to head into the Nether. Now he\u2019s locked in and refuses to listen to reason. Arthur\u2019s ready to march into one of the most dangerous places in the Fire Force world\u2014with no weapon. And the worst part? The real threats might not even be physical.<\/p>\n
