Fire Force season 3 may be the show's last, but the hit supernatural anime is hoping to go out in a blaze of glory. The third season again follows Tokyo's Company 8 as they do battle with all manner of fiery foes and heat-seeking threats.
But what's coming next? And what parts of Atsushi Ohkubo's manga will be adapted in the final season? Well, there's no smoke without fire – and thanks to a slew of new trailers and a now-confirmed release date, there's plenty to unpack about one of 2025's hottest new anime. Below, you'll find all the information about the first of two parts for Fire Force season 3, including teasers, story details, and plenty more besides that on the series endgame.

Fire Force season 3 release date: when is Part 1 and Part 2 out?
The first part of Fire Force season 3 is releasing on April 4, 2025. This big news was revealed during the recent IGN Fan Fest showcase. That means Fire Force's next outing will be available to stream on Crunchyroll shortly.
In a surprise move, the second part (or 'cour') of Fire Force season 3 has also been confirmed. The bad news is that it's not arriving until January 2026.
Fire Force season 3 story: what manga chapters will it adapt next?
The show's original synopsis, as per Crunchyroll,reads, "Tokyo is burning, and citizens are mysteriously suffering from spontaneous human combustion all throughout the city! Responsible for snuffing out this inferno is the Fire Force, and Shinra is ready to join their fight. Now, as part of Company 8, he’ll use his devil’s footprints to help keep the city from turning to ash! But his past and a burning secret behind the scenes could set everything ablaze."
But we've come a long way since then. Company 8 has worked with other branches of the Special Fire Force to tackle series antagonists, the White-Clad and the Evangelist, while Shinra has worked to refine his latent pyrokinetic abilities.
Looking forward, Fire Force season 3 is first going to cover the Obi's Rescue arc (chapters 175-197). While we're always wary of diving into too many spoilers for those who aren't reading along in the manga, it essentially revolves around the excommunicated Company 8's attempts to rescue their captain.
Beyond that, we predict it will also adapt through to the Final Pillar arc (chapters 234-239) for its first part. The second part of the season could then reach the end of the manga, though we anticipate it will cut or condense large swathes of source material, including more minor, character-driven arcs such as the Kusakabe arc before the Great Cataclysm begins.
Fire Force season 3 episode count: how long is the final season?
An episode count hasn't yet been confirmed, though we expect it to once again be around the 24-episode mark in line with the first two seasons.
Fire Force season 3 trailer: first look at the new season
We got a full trailer for Fire Force season 3, part one, on February 26, 2025. This exciting teaser (which you can watch for yourself above was first shown during the IGN Fan Fest showcase and is packed with action. From brawls to hurling balls of blinding light, it's clear that we're so back, folks!
We also get some story hints, which confirms our suspicions about season 3 covering the Obi's Rescue arc. In the trailer, we see Company 8 making plans to rescue their captain from the White-Clad. Exciting stuff.
Fire Force season 3 cast: expected returning characters
The Fire Force cast will once again feature Shinra (Gakuto Kajiwara) and Arthur (Yusuke Kobayashi), especially given their brutal training at the tail-end of the second season. The upcoming episodes will also centre on Obi (Kazuya Nakai), while series mainstays Maki (Saeko Kamijo) and Iris (Mao Ichimichi) will also return.
Where can I watch Fire Force season 3?
Much like its first two seasons, Fire Force season 3 will be available to stream exclusively on Crunchyroll.
For the avoidance of doubt, that means new episodes won't be available on other platforms, including Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu/Disney Plus, and HiDive. If you aren't on the Crunchyroll train yet, you can check out our guide to all the best Netflix anime currently streaming.
