Vulcan, ese es el comentario.
Pero ya en serio, es un personaje buenísimo en todos los sentidos y que encima solo quiere a su familia y ama a los animales. Imposible ignorarlo. Desde ya uno de mis protegidos.
El otro es Arthur, que está un poco tonto y todo pero se le quiere porque al menos el humor que le agrega a la historia sí es gracioso.
Quiero disimular mi odio por la chica de la portada pero no puedo. Es el ejemplo de lo que debe ser si quiere que le coja manía.

El motivo por el cuál no le pongo cinco estrellas es porque sentí que Lisa muestra su verdadera cara de una manera muy brusca y poco natural. También, porque creo que el modo en el que aparece la llave del Amaterasu es un tanto forzada, sobre todo por haber estado ¨desaparecida¨ durante tanto tiempo. Un ejemplo de una situación no forzada, fue cuando muestran como Iris tiene debilidad por tocar todo lo que le genera curiosidad, da indicios de que algo puede ocurrir gracias a esto, tiene sentido que muestren esta particularidad de ella y no es simplemente un pase de comedia más. Por esta razón, ella en los capítulos finales toca todos los botones que puede y termina ayudando a Shinra de manera fortuita, pero natural.
De igual manera, disfruté mucho el tomo, se pasa volando. Este arco, al igual que el anterior, está muy bien planteado y sigue explotando los misterios de la obra. Destaco la comedia de este tomo, me cagué de risa. Arthur es autista a más no poder, lo amo. Otro apartado que me gusta de ¨Fire Force¨ es como suma personajes a su elenco de una manera tan fluida, todos tienen un porqué en la trama y no se los deja de lado. Por último, debo admitir que Vulcan me hace pensar que quizás no soy tan heterosexual como creía, que fachero por dios.

I read this book via Kindle Unlimited.
In this volume, we meet a host of new characters as Company 8 begins to expand its members by introducing a science team. We meet the eccentric Viktor, a teenage genius who seems to be a bit of a double agent, potentially spying for The Joker on Shinra. We then follow Shinra, Arthur and Iris as they go and attempt to recruit an engineer named Vulcan. Vulcan hates the Fire Force and has turned down the efforts of a number of their leaders, based on a family grudge against Haijima. While the Company 8 soldiers are there attempting to convince him, Company 3's captain, Dr Giovanni arrives in a further attempt to get Vulcan on his side and when he's rejected, Shinra's Adolla Link tells him that Giovanni wants Vulcan dead. They then obvious have an epic battle that is made even more dramatic by the appearance of the Evangelist's soldiers, apparently working with Giovanni, and we are left on a cliffhanger when Shinra sees Sho for the first time since their childhood.
I flew through this volume, it was fast paced, interesting and I'm excited to see the implications this volume is going to have on the next ones in the series. I really liked Vulcan's character and how all he wanted was to help reintroduce animal life to the world, going as far as feeding stray cats and birds when he was struggling to put food on his own table. I was a bit upset he got double crossed by his "unbreakable family" after losing his father and grandfather to becoming infernal. I hope he joins Company 8 full time.

Company 8 needs a person who can create their gadgets but when they go to Vulcan (the engineer) home they are met with...resistance.
This is fun to watch Arthur, Shinra, and Iris go on a trip together. Seeming them gives a lot of good comedy bits to make this volume a ton of fun. On top of that Vulcan is a interesting character with a reason why he hates the fire force that makes sense. When the fighting begins it is Arthur who gets to show off why he's one of the best. With some of the coolest fight scenes so far. Shinra also gets time to shine.
This volume is action packed and really funny at points. I'm a bit confused on why people seem to not like this anime much. I think besides some silly fan service bra and panty shots, this is a really fun, well put together, character driven series. Helps the fights kickass too.
A 4 out of 5.

This volume contains chapters 43 - 60. The artwork is wonderful and easily conveys emotions and movement. Since I previously watched the anime, there have been no surprises so far.
The mysteries and secrets are still hiding the source of the evil and greed. The 8th, and now individuals from other groups, are starting to gather to figure out the truth behind Flame People.
Arthur continues to make me laugh! He is truly delusional about being a knight, but also says some of the most sincere dialog in the manga. A new character, Vulcan, is introduced. In the last chapter, Shinra's little brother shows up to confront Shinra. Volume 8 promises to have lots of drama and action.

(Read as part of Omnibus volume 3).
Vulcan is a great character. But this is such an annoying volume. I was hoping it would be better than the Anime but the only thing going good here is there is less pain reading instead of listening to Arthur going on and on. I don't get the whole Sister Iris causing such chaos when they first arrive at the forge. I mean after so many chapter there should be character development, but it feels like all the characters are back to Vol 1 chapter 1 personality (like this chapter was meant to happen earlier) all rude and illmanarard. It is just a side quest to fetch a new character and should have been a chapter or two and not a full volume. Oh well.

Got introduced to new character - Vulcan. Hopefully he becomes one of the 8th brigade. Apparently, more people work for the White Clad and Evangelist. Long awaited reunion awaits us in next volume. Can't wait!

This volume was very entertaining. I always enjoy seeing Arthur and Shinra together. They are both so funny. But I also love their fighting style.

The addition of the creepy scientist should make this story move a little quicker. I am a huge fan of Vulcan and can't wait to see what role he will play in this series.

4/5 Stars (%76/100)
Not as good as the 6th and 5th volume but it was still enjoyable. This volume is the start of the 6th arc which is related to a blacksmith named Vulcan. As a mythology geek, I can't help but mention that Vulcan is the Roman counterpart of Hephaestus, the famous Greek God who made all the weapons of the Olympians. It is not surprising that this Vulcan is also extremely skilled. Vulcan's ancestors are the ones who built the Amaterasu, the huge engine-like thing that powers everything. The 8th wants to recruit Vulcan but they meet resistance. Overall, it was a good volume and we learned more about the world thanks to Vulcan's appearance. There is also the case of "the key" which is a mystery right now.

Company 8 has a new member: the scientist assigned to them by Haijima. He's very suspicious and seems to know more than he lets on. Now we need one more person to make a complete team: the engineer. Captain Obi has his sights set on one in particular but Vulcan doesn't want anything to do with the Fire Force.
Not to mention, the white robes are back with a Fire Force team in tow. You also get a little surprise at the end to keep you in suspense.
This series has 34 volumes.

Après être revenus d'Asakusa, les membres de la Huitième Brigade accueille Victor Licht, un scientifique détaché des industries Haijima pour les aider. On ne sait pas grand-chose sur lui à part son lien peu clair avec Joker.
Suite à cela, Obi envoie Shinra, Arthur et Iris rencontrer celui dont qu'il voudrait embaucher comme mécanicien mais apparemment cet homme hait Haijima et les brigades spéciales qu'il envoie régulièrement bouler. A leur arrivée, ils se font mitrailler de canettes. Finalement, Yû, le disciple de Vulcan (que Shinra et Arthur ont sauvé quelques temps auparavant) les fait entrer dans l'atelier. On découvre Vulcan, un inventeur et un mécanicien de génie qui fabrique des trucs en apparence peu utiles et Risa, une jeune femme qu'il a recueilli.
Un visiteur indésiré arrive en la personne du Dr Giovanni de la Troisième Brigade. On comprend qu'il cherche à recruter Vulcan depuis un moment sans succès, tout en lui mettant des bâtons dans les roues pour continuer son activité, et qu'il vient pour une dernière sommation. Évidemment, c'est un non catégorique et on comprend qu'ils se connaissent. En effet, le Dr Giovanni était l'élève du grand-père de Vulcan avec le père de celui-ci. Dans le passé, le jour où le Dr Giovanni a quitté l'atelier, le père et le grand-père de Vulcan se sont transformés en torches humaines. De là vient son aversion pour Haijima et les brigades spéciales, qui ont volé leur technologie, Amaterasu. Le rêve de Vulcan serait de créer une source d'énergie si puissante qu'elle referait vivre les espèces aujourd'hui disparues de la Terre.
Le Dr Giovanni revient avec des renforts, des disciples du Grand Prédicateur, dont il est le complice. Ils affrontent Arthur, Shinra faisant le guet plus haut. Ce dernier se fait attaquer et capturer par le Dr Giovanni. Il est sauvé par Hibana. Arthur combat les disciples du Grand Prédicateur. Risa était en fait une complice du Dr Giovanni infiltré chez Vulcan pour trouver la "clé d'Amaterasu", cachée par la famille de Vulcan. Il blesse Yû et finit par trouver la clé dans la boule qui diffusait des images des animaux disparus. En activant les multiples inventions de Vulcan, ils réussissent à mettre en échec Giovanni mais à l'extérieur, est arrivé Shô Kusakabe, petit frère de Shinra et chef des chevaliers de la flamme cendrée.

Summary:
Fire has always been a thing of nightmares for many. In this world, people are at risk of spontaneously combusting and turning into Infernals. An Infernal wants only one thing - to destroy. They are no longer considered human. That is where the Fire Force comes into play. It's their duty to protect the people.
While Company 8 isn't the only fire force trying to get to the truth, they are certainly the least corrupted. Yet, they will need allies to get to the bottom of this. Thus, they're about to reach out to an expert they desperately need to join the team. Naturally, things will go wrong.
Review:
Ohhh! Time for more characters to get introduced, thanks to Fire Force Vol. 7. I know there's already a really full cast at this point, but I instantly felt compelled to learn more about Vulcan – everything I could get.
Plus, this adventure split the team into a smaller group. This gave us a chance to get to know three of them (Arthur, Shinra, and Iris) a bit more – while seeing how they handle danger when isolated. It was a fun fight, to put it lightly.
I really like Vulcan's character. He's part of what the team has been missing, both in an archetype sense and in a role sense (they really do need an engineer!). I can't wait to see where the story goes, especially following that cliffhanger ending.
Highlights:
Manga – Shonen
Connected to Soul Eater
Lots of Action

En este séptimo volumen de Enen no Shouboutai, seguimos justo donde lo dejamos: con la llegada de Víctor Licht al Octavo Escuadrón. Aunque oficialmente se une al equipo, es evidente que tiene sus propios planes junto al misterioso Joker, aunque aún no sabemos qué traman exactamente. El escuadrón sigue incompleto, así que Ôbi envía a Shinra, Arthur e Iris a reclutar al mecánico Vulcan, un genio en su campo, pero que odia tanto a Haijima como a los bomberos, lo que ha hecho imposible que alguien lo convenza hasta ahora.
Durante esta visita conocemos también a Yuu, el aprendiz de Vulcan (a quien Shinra había salvado antes), y a Lisa, su asistente y casi familia. Pero las cosas se complican rápidamente con la aparición del Dr. Giovanni, comandante del Tercer Escuadrón, con quien Vulcan tiene un pasado muy oscuro: lo culpa de haber traicionado y destruido a su familia. En medio de las tensiones, el sueño de Vulcan de restaurar el mundo y revivir las especies extinguidas termina ablandando su postura hacia el Octavo, haciéndolo un candidato perfecto para unirse al equipo.
Pero, por supuesto, no todo es tan simple. Cuando parece que la visita ha terminado, Shinra tiene un Adora Link y percibe el peligro inminente: Giovanni planea asesinar a Vulcan. Inmediatamente regresan y se desata el caos. Giovanni y sus hombres, disfrazados como miembros del culto del Pastor, atacan. Shinra es capturado (y con él, su preciado Adora Burst), mientras Arthur y los demás pelean por proteger a Vulcan.
Y cuando ya creíamos que el drama no podía ser mayor, llega la traición: Lisa, a quien Vulcan consideraba familia, resulta ser agente del Pastor, inmovilizándolo para entregarlo a Giovanni. Su verdadero objetivo es obtener la llave de Amaterasu, el reactor que, descubrimos aquí, fue creado por los ancestros de Vulcan.
Afortunadamente Hibana aparece justo a tiempo para rescatar a Shinra, que corre a enfrentarse en una brutal batalla contra Giovanni y Lisa. El volumen cierra con un momentazo: el esperado encuentro entre Shinra y su hermano Shō. Ahora sí, esto se está poniendo cada vez mejor.

I liked this volume because it largely focused on the cast of Special Company 8 that I like the most, Arthur, Shinra, and Sister. Each character played a key role in the volume and showed that they still had the potential to be involved in future developments in the story. Additionally, interplay and displays of companionship seemed to have developed between this arc and the last. Friendship and trust moments were displayed further showing how well the characters have gotten along in their time at the company.
Vulcan, who Shinra and Arthur are tasked to recruit, is a compelling character. His mannerisms, youthfulness, proclivity to get in trouble, and positive never give up attitude are well in line with the personalities of our lead characters. Further his ability to cater to the Arthur’s specific needs during the major fight are terrific and something I didn’t expect. Hopefully joins the Special Company 8.
I also praise this volume for giving Arthur a fight of his own. I’m curious to see where it goes as it continues. One of the highlights was how he said he was fighting for his king, where king in this case seemed to be Shinra. Amazing.
There are twists in this volume which made my jaw drop.

Allgemein zur Reihe schreibe ich jetzt nichts mehr, da ich die Kurzreviews so kurz hintereinander veröffentliche und das zu allen Teilen gleich ist.
In diesem Band bekommt die 8. Sondereinheit einen Wissenschaftler von dem man weiß, dass mit ihm nicht alles koscher ist. Außerdem versuchen sie Vulcan dazu zu überreden ihnen als Techniker beizutreten. Vulcan hasst aber alles was mit den Sondereinheiten zu tun hat und weigert sich. Doch als er in Gefahr gerät helfen Shinra und Arthur ihm. Wie sich dann alles entwickelt müsst ihr selbst lesen.
Shinra und Arthur sind in diesem Band die Hauptakteure neben dem neuen Charakter. Das war aber nicht negativ, da Vulcan wirklich ein interessanter Typ ist. Arthur hat ihr einen ganz besonderen Auftritt, der noch einmal deutlich macht wovon seine Kräfte abhängen und das war einfach genial. Ich liebe den Charakter. Alles in allem war es wieder sehr spannend.
Den Zeichenstil liebe ich total. Ich mag diesen etwas comichaften Stil und finde die Charaktere sehr ausdrucksstark.
Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Band.

This time Arthur, Shinra, and Iris go to try to recruit Vulcan as Company 8’s engineer. Unfortunately, Vulcan hates all of the fire force! Lots of backbiting and action happen!
Stuff I liked: the action was great! Great art! Some of the humor was funny! More intrigue!
Stuff I disliked: some of the humor was dumb and overdone! A few niggling matters... occasionally it’s hard for me to buy into certain plot points. But I’m still enjoying.

The villains are a little too powerful and knowledgeable for my taste, particularly this early on in the series. Shinra and Arthur unfortunately are too impulsive and lack strategic fighting skills, so they are outclassed against more experienced fighters that rely on something other than brute force.

This volume had a slow pace in the beginning but it picks up towards the middle. There are still plenty of silly and ridiculous hijinks throughout that made me laugh. (more specifically the drawings in certain scenarios). The battle in this volume hasn't quite finished yet so I am looking forward to the next volume for the continuance!

Vulcan and Dr. Giovanni’s introductions to the series were great in the manga. I also like that this volume had very little fan service and that most of the comedy was centered around the characters’ curiosity and personalities.

Well that's a cliffhanger. This volume was mostly just setting up the next.
