Fire Force season 3 episode 6 recap

The episode continued the events from the previous installment and began with Shinra Kusakabe's fierce battle against Leonard Burns. The Commander of Company One refused to dodge any of Shinra's attacks as he wanted to test the boy's heroic spirit. At the same time, he believed in himself as the Empire's ultimate defense.
The episode then delved into a flashback and showed Leonard Burns's past, including how he received the title Leonard from the Emperor. Another flashback scene with Joker revealed Burns's ideals as a devotee. He mentioned how his confrontation with the Evangelist gave his prayers meaning.

Following the flashbacks, the chapter returned to the battle. Shinra demonstrated his Corna and other forms of attacks, but they did nothing to Leonard Burns. At that moment, Shinra realized that he needed to accelerate to stand a chance against his opponent. Doing so, he achieved an Adolla Link. Interestingly, the Adolla Link reverberated with Sho, who confronted his childhood memories of Shinra.
He wondered who this "brother" was. Meanwhile, the episode delved into a flashback to reveal Leonard Burns's unyielding devotion to God and the Empire. It was revealed that the Emperor granted Burns the name Leonard. Since then, he had been serving the Empire as its shield. The episode then showcased Burns's power, as he achieved the fifth stage of the Voltage Nova.

As a result, Burns's visage changed, and he was enveloped in flames resembling a lion. However, Burns's form wasn't enough to stop Shinra's accelerated kick, as he penetrated his defense. In the aftermath, Shinra Kusakabe noticed that Burns hadn't broken a sweat, while he was drenched.
Burns finally acknowledged Shinra, and he rested his hope on the younger generation. Elsewhere, Dragon demonstrated a hyperbeam. Maki attempted to resist the flames, but realized that everyone might die from the attack. Yet, they miraculously survived, thanks to the Evangelist's grace. Meanwhile, Hauma asked the White-clad members to eliminate everyone but the Pillars.

Elsewhere, Leonard Burns got impaled by his doppelganger, which emerged from the shadows behind him. Burns then asked Shinra to escape. Unfortunately, the doppelganger took Burns to the Adolla through a portal.
On the other hand, Inca and others began their onslaught. However, a familiar figure arrived at the battlefield, and it was none other than Benimaru Shinmon, disguised as the Moonlight Mask.
What to expect in Fire Force season 3 episode 7? (speculative)

Fire Force season 3 episode 7 will continue the adaptation from chapter 196 onwards and show Benimaru Shinmon showcase his powers against the White-clad members.
On the other hand, the episode could show Shinra and Joker saving Akitaru Obi, who still has the Infernal Bugs on his body. After joining his Captain, Shinra might decide on his next course of action.
