struggling against a phenomenon called "spontaneous human combustion" in

for his ability to ignite his feet on fire and run at speeds

extreme, joins the Eighth Company of the Fire Force Special Unit, which

composed of other flame users while working to extinguish any

Infernal that they are.

However, when they discover that there is a faction that is creating

Infernals, Shinra will begin to discover the truth behind this mysterious

phenomenon that in the past caused the death of his family twelve years ago.
