A literal quote:

So, it got better, a lot better. I love how unconventional this story has been so far, turns out regeneration blessings aren't that uncommon, it's just Agni's is so powerful that he can survive the flames. Apart from one attempted rape scene of a child, Volume 2 was significantly less extreme as volume 1 was, which I very much appreciate.

My favourite manga series is Berserk, it's also quite fucked up, it's such an iconic piece of Dark Fantasy fiction that it has inspired so many other pieces of fiction, from books, movies and video games. While Fire Punch is no Berserk, it's just as interesting.

What serperates Berserk and Fire Punch for me is the lack of lessons and philosophy underlining Fire Punch, unlike Berserk.
Many people find meaning from Berserk, such as never giving up and shouldering your demons, whereas Fire Punch feels like it's just a fucked up and ambitious piece of fiction meant to explore the depths of depravity humans will go to in a dystopian post-apocalypse world, when civilised society has collapsed and the social constructs that have kept humans alive for so long are on their last legs and completely tainted by the depravities and desperations of the people that have almost snuffed out human morality from existence.

You have people with all sorts of abilities being tied down and used like cattle and resources.
The city of Behemdorg for example, where Doma lives, has electricity because they've a guy strapped down, drugged and tortured to force him to use his electricity powers, which get wired into the city itself, powering all their electricity. There are hundreds of blessed with the ability to excrete starchy stuff from their skin, which is used to feed all the citizens of the city. And blessed with fire abilities are used to heat the citizens homes and the buildings. These are only a few examples.

So in this story, think back to my review of Volume 1, Agni cut his arms off so his village wouldn't starve to death and ate his arms instead. Think that, but on a colossal scale of a city. People are literally used as resources to sustain a society living in a city. Yeah. That's fucking fucked up, but hella creative! 🧠.

So far I'm loving this fictional world and the world building, it's super captivating and messed up.
We've also new characters, another regenerative blessed who's been alive for hundreds of years, loves movies, who lost her collection and wants to make her own movie to sate her boredom.
So, who's the hero of her little movie? Agni.
So she essentially promises to help ensure Agni get revenge on Doma, under the condition he does everything she says, including learning acting, martial arts and saying things to the camera. Also, the young girl who almost got raped? The Director woman saved her, only under the condition she become her Camera Girl.

So now Agni is on his way to the city of Behemdorg to kill Doma and probably burn down the entire city in the process of doing so, but the city knows he's coming, somehow (🤫) , and are ready for him.

Onto volume 3!
