The remaining Doppelgangers are ready to fight Company 8
Benimaru or Joker's doppelgangers could be next
As far as the big picture Fire ForceAs far as the final season is concerned, episode 20 only moved the story forward as Tamaki Kotatsu and Assault faced a doppelgänger attack on the city streets. That means the anticipation at the end of episode 20 is about the same as it was for episode 19, with the single biggest plot thread being an invasion of multiple doppelgangers modeled after powerhouse characters. Fire ForceThe main cast of It's the most effective cliffhanger for two episodes in a row as those doppelgangers promise to make for some stellar brawls as they mimic the ignition abilities of Kurono, Benimaru and more.

Fire Force Season 3 Episode 2 is currently airing, and here's what you need to know about Shinra, Maki, and Company 8.
Arthur Boyle may face the dragon in episode 21
The Knight King needs a worthy foe to sharpen his blade
A few episodes ago, Knight King Arthur Boyle saved Vulcan and Lisa at the last second on Amaterasu when he used a precision blade thrust to kill the tiny Giovanni bug inside Yu's head once and for all. That was an important victory in finally getting the grotesque villain Giovanni out of the picture for good, but it also felt weak and had only a moderate impact on the story. It's not uncommon for shonen heroes to return to the scene, stronger than ever, to defeat opponents and save lives. Arthur did just that, but the self-proclaimed king of knights needs a much bigger challenge – and he's probably about to get it.
Based on the last few scenes in episode 20, showing Arthur looking more serious than ever as he surveys the carnage around him, Shinra's onion-headed rival is about to become a hero worthy of legend. This character is due another chance to really shine after making a brand new sword, and what's more, the next episode is titled “Dragon and Knight Surge Toward the Heavens”.
Arthur is undoubtedly the knight referred to in that title, and there is indeed a member of the white-cloaked cult known as the Dragons. The dragon emerges as one of the most powerful, most prominent cultists of all time, the perfect foe to ever test Arthur with his coat of hard scales. It might not be one of the anticipated doppelgänger fights, but such a showdown could be a great way to top the fight. Fire Force Fans recently saw between Tamaki and Adola's own attack.
