Special Fire Force Company 7

The is the seventh regiment of the Special Fire Force. They are an independent company stationed at Special Fire Guardhouse 7 in Asakusa.

Like other brigades, it is tasked to extinguish and purify the souls of Infernals and unravel the secrets of the Spontaneous Human Combustion.

Overview
Unlike the other Fire Force Companies, the 7th acts completely independent. Captain Benimaru claims they swear no loyalty to the Tokyo Empire or the Holy Sol religion. According to Obi, they never show up to any type of meeting. When the emperor calls upon all the companies for an emergency conference, Benimaru even interrupted and left immediately after the meeting started.

Benimaru refers to his group as the "neighborhood watch", as they watch over Asakusa and extinguish any fires in that area. Rather than offering up a prayer, buildings are destroyed as offerings for the tragedy. Most of the citizens in Asakusa know Benimaru personally and would be grateful to have "Waka" put them to rest should they ever infernalize.

Missions
A citizen in Asakusa named Kantarō infernalizes and starts a fire in the district. Benimaru leads the Hikeshi and begins a festival to put their fallen friend to rest. Several blocks are destroyed in the process, but Benimaru ultimately puts the infernal to rest without incident.

Trivia
