![]() In Fire Punch, humor sets in when Agni meets Togata, a sadistic, perverted character who is obsessed with movies. Readers of Chainsaw Man know how Fujimoto tries to remedy his relentless darkness in a tale with crude humor. How does Fujimoto balance the darkness of the story? With the entire village massacred and his sister turned to ash, Agni vows revenge while his body continues to burn and that’s how Fire Punch is born. Disgusted by the same, Doma sets the village ablaze with his fire powers that do not extinguish until their fuel, in this case, human bodies, turns to ash.Īgni somehow manages to survive Doma’s never-ending flames. Things start to take a turn for the worse when soldiers from a city called Behemdorg, led by a Blessed named Doma come to know about the village and its cannibalistic ways of survival. He lives with his similarly gifted sister in a small village where they use their regenerative powers to feed the villagers with their own flesh. ![]() The protagonist or our main character is Agni, another Blessed with regenerative powers. The Ice Witch is one among the ‘Blessed’ who populate and make later appearances in the story. ![]() The story takes place somewhere on Earth that experiences eternal winter, supposedly because of an evil figure named the ‘Ice Witch’. However, the overarching story of Fire Punch is remarkably bleak and hollow. This is just the beginning… Elucidating further, there is incest, rape, slavery, torture, murder, suicide, etc. The series starts off with a scene of a child severing his own arm with an axe. The series goes from 0 to 100 in a flash and the reader is left dumbstruck trying to process what’s actually going on. Fire Punch isn’t a saga meant for the faint hearted.
