Inside, Arthur and Vulcan enter the realm of good and evil, Shinra and Arthur’s room. When reminded of Shinra, Arthur assures Vulcan that wherever Shinra is right now, he will endure and come back safely.

Arthur quickly does the preparations for the trial and, with an earnest look on his face, asks Vulcan to lend his wisdom to help him complete what lays undone; complete the “Dragon Question” game on Super Mintendo.

Dumbfounded, Vulcan questions the seriousness of Arthur and asks, “The fate of the world is riding on a video game…?” Nevertheless, Arthur starts playing and dies from just a pseudodragon.

Vulcan rectifies the situation and suggests Arthur to use special abilities like magic or buff.

Meanwhile, Pan faces the ‘pseudo’ Captain Hugue (his doppelganger) and uses “Buff Stacking” to fourfold his “Berserk.”

Although the distorted memory of Captain Hugue manages to hurt Pan’s shoulders with his axe, Pan smashes through his stomach with “Rending Multistacked Drill,” splitting the doppelganger’s body in half.

Taking the advice from Vulcan, Arthur also defeats the boss with his bluff. The fake gets defeated in both the game and the reality, and now they can move forward. But the trial to save the world is not over yet.

4. Where to Read Fire Force

Fire Force is a very popular series and well-received even outside Japan. Despite being so popular, Fire Force remains a Japanese-only manga, and no official release with English translations is available.

All the available English versions of the manga are fan translated, and we strongly recommend that you purchase the volumes instead of using pirated sites to support the Mangaka and the franchise.
