The long wait for Fire Force Season 3 has finally paid off, with a new trailer and key visual dropping recently, giving fans a glimpse into the final chapter of Shinra Kusakabe’s journey.
For those keeping track, the release dates for this highly anticipated season were actually revealed back in July 2024. Now, with even more details, the hype for this grand finale is officially at a fever pitch.
The latest trailer reintroduces the key players—Shinra, Arthur, Maki, and the rest of the Special Fire Force—but this time, the stakes are visibly higher.
The series has steadily escalated its threats since Season 1, and now, it’s all culminating in what promises to be an all-out clash between humanity and forces that want to burn everything down (literally).
Season 3 is confirmed to follow a split-cour format: the first cour will premiere in April 2025, while the second cour is scheduled for January 2026.
The strategy here is clear—it’s all about maintaining quality while delivering a fitting send-off for the series. Fans of Attack on Titan’s final season format or even Spy x Family’s split-cour approach will recognize the benefits of giving animators breathing room to deliver their best work.
The new key visual sets the tone perfectly for final season: Shinra and his team stand together, facing what could be their greatest—and possibly last—fight. Both allies and enemies are front and center, signaling that no one will walk away unscathed from this showdown.

What to Expect from the Final Season?
If the manga is any indication, Season 3 will dive deep into the Evangelist’s master plan, the mysteries of the Adolla Burst, and the secrets underpinning the world’s strange phenomena. Expect dramatic confrontations, shocking revelations, and an emotionally charged conclusion to Shinra’s story.
David Production (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) returns for this final outing, and the studio’s reputation precedes it. Their work on Fire Force has been stellar so far, with fluid animation, dynamic fight choreography, and those iconic fire effects that really set the show apart.

To recap, the studio animated the first two seasons, which aired in 2019 and 2020. While widely praised for their visuals and action, the series did have its detractors, particularly around its reliance on fan-service moments (yes, I’m looking at you, Tamaki).
Whether this final season reins that in or doubles down remains to be seen, but either way, fans are here for the story’s conclusion.
For those who’ve only watched the anime, the Fire Force manga ran from September 2015 to February 2022 in Weekly Shonen Magazine. Atsushi Ohkubo (Soul Eater) crafted a compelling narrative that combined explosive action with deeper themes about humanity, religion, and the nature of the world itself.
The final arcs of the manga were particularly intense, blending large-scale battles with revelations about the Evangelist and the true history of humanity.
