Promare (プãƒãƒ¡ã‚¢) is a Japanese animated feature film co-produced by Studio TRIGGER and mobile game company XFlag, released in Japan on May 24, 2019.Featuring the same creative team as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, Promare is the third collaboration between director Hiroyuki Imaishi and scriptwriter Kazuki Nakashima.One day, a mutation suddenly appeared in a portion of the population, turning normal humans into "Burnish" who could generate fire. While these Burnish could learn to control their powers, they still had to burn, and would often discover their mutation in high-casualty explosions triggered by stress. Despite the Burnish only wanting normal, peaceful lives, normal humans quickly came to fear them, and any Burnish-caused fires led to violent government responses and lynchings. Tensions rapidly escalated until the Burnish triggered the Great World Blaze, an apocalyptic event that wiped out half the human population.Thirty years later, society and technology have adjusted to the existence of the Burnish, but they are still hated and feared, with most preferring to hide their identities. Mad Burnish, a radical group from the days of the Great World Blaze, continues to commit high-profile arson to protest the oppression of the Burnish, spurring the creation of a special firefighting unit named Burning Rescue. After a confrontation with Mad Burnish, Burning Rescue rookie Galo Thymos is forced to examine what drives the Burnish to such extreme methods.Certain showings also included Promare: Side Galo or Promare: Side Lio, short films examining either character's perspective on Galo's first day with Burning Rescue. | |

Arc Symbol | |
| Promare / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: Triangles seems to be the shape that represents the Mad Burnish while squares represent Burning Rescue. Deus Prometh is primarily represented by circles. Triangles hidden in the architecture of the Foresight Foundation's headquarters foreshadow Kray's true identity as a Burnish Boomerang Bigot. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Promare / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Burnish are a persecuted minority whose symbol is a pink triangle, much like the one Nazi Germany used to denote gay prisoners in its concentration camps. It may be worth noting that the word holocaust is the name of Ancient Greece's religious animal sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire, and the film itself bears several allusions to Greek mythology. | |

Playing with Fire | |
| Promare / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: Burnish in general can create and manipulate fire, but this trope is especially prevalent with the Mad Burnish, a terrorist organization whose goal is to scorch everything. However, their main opponents are the Foresight Foundation, who are experimenting on Burnish, and they never kill anyone and always leave escape routes for civilians. | |

Planetary Core Manipulation | |
| Promare / int_1f6f887 | comment |
Planetary Core Manipulation: Kray Foresight's refusal to do this is used to highlight how selfish he is. The Earth's core has gone out of control since the Great World Blaze and will completely burn the surface in six months. Kray decides to build a spaceship and evacuate 10,000 people to live on another planet, but using the Burnish as fuel to power a wormhole to the planet will speed up the catastrophe. At the same time, Kray has devices designed to help colonize the new planet, including guns to create soil for farmland and freezing bullets to control volcanic activity. Several characters point out that the resources for migration could instead be used to stabilize the Earth's core. Kray claims he tried everything to delay the inevitable, but it turns out he just refuses as he wants to be seen by the survivors as humanity's savior. | |

Rule of Cool | |

Rule of Cool: Besides pretty much everything in the movie, this ends up Justified with a dash of comical Lampshading during the climax. Galo initially has a hard time piloting the Deus X Machina on account of it simply not being a cool enough weapon for him. Lio has to indulge Galo by using his Burnish powers to envelop the plain-looking robot into the shape of Galo’s favorite Matoi Gear before Galo can get in the zone. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
| Promare / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: Played straight, and then repeatedly lampshaded. Two thirds of the way through the movie, Aina launches Galo and the raging Lio into the frozen lake to cool them off a bit. The place had so far no significance whatsoever, just a nice locale Galo found and likes to relax at; but when Lio's flames vaporize the entire lake, it's revealed to be hiding Professor Deus Prometh's lab, giving our heroes access to a truckload of exposition and a Super Robot they can use to take on Kray's overwhelming advantage. Then said robot turns out to actually be named the Deus X Machina (because it's Pr. Deus's machine), and the late professor cheerfully admits that if it wasn't for dumb luck, no one would have found him and Kray would have just blown up the world unopposed. | |

Kiss of Life | |
| Promare / int_517266f6 | comment |
Kiss of Life: The Burnish method of resuscitation by blowing the performer’s flames into the receiver’s body. Burnish flames are lively alien flame cells that are parasitic towards their hosts’ body, if the flames are to be forcefully taken out of the host (a Burnish individual), that host will lose his life. Galo performs this on Lio by exhaling the last bit of flame Lio left to protect Burning Rescue back into Lio’s body to save his life. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Promare / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The Burnish are given a lot of this as shown in the opening scenes of their first appearance in the world; showing protests and counter protests as they demand a place in society. In the present, although the heroes are fair enough to acknowledge that they're not all bad, the other patrons of a pizzeria they frequent are disgusted after learning that the baker of their pizza is a Burnish. Despite believing in Burnish rights, Galo is not a perfect ally, either, with one scene revealing how his ignorance of their powers causes him to unconsciously dehumanize them. | |

Have You Told Anyone Else?: When Kray and Deus discovered what was happening to the Earth's core and how the Burnish could potentially power the warp gate, Deus refused to go through with it because of the damage it could cause. When Kray confirms with him that they're the only two people to have discovered this information, Deus finds himself on the receiving end of a bullet to the head. Fortunately, it turns out that he had enough foresight to realize this was a possibility and saved his mind via Brain Uploading. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| Promare / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: The lockers at Burning Rescue HQ offer some details about the squad members: Varys' locker is full of basketball-related stuff. Aina's locker contains a mirror for her to check her look, a photo of herself and Heris, some concert tickets, and a Joy Division-lookalike poster. Lucia's locker door is a vending machine full of snacks and sweets, and the locker itself has a chupa chups on a pedestal; additionally, there's an Atari-lookalike sticker on the outer side of the door. While Varys, Aina and Lucia all have lots of colorful stickers on their lockers' doors, Remi's locker looks the most professional, with what seems to be some documents and to-do notes posted on the outside...but then Remi opens the door, and on the inside there are two big pin-ups of naked women. Additionally, there's a small photo of Remi and his girlfriend. Galo wasn't in the lounge with the rest of the crew because he was sleeping inside the fire truck when the dispatch came in. | |

Mistaken for Insane: The Burnish are seen as psychotic arsonists and the general public utterly despises them for it, with the terrorist group, the Mad Burnish being loathed most of all as violent pyromaniacs. However, the Burnish aren't crazy, they simply have a natural compulsion to burn things due to their link to the Promare, and the Mad Burnish are really a few attempting to save their people from torture and experimentation. The only actually crazy Burnish is Kray, due to him completely losing it from suppressing his connection to the Promare. | |

| Promare / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity: Galo fondly remembers Kray heroically carrying him out of a burning building back when he was a child, an incident that jumpstarted Kray's career and eventual ascension to governor. After he's revealed to be Evil All Along, Kray reveals what actually happened: he had been the one to set fire to the building after losing control of his Burnish power. The young Galo ran out of the building on his own and to Kray, the only person around the at time. When other people arrived at the scene, Kray was given credit for saving Galo's life, which he took advantage of to raise his public profile. | |

Captured on Purpose | |

Captured on Purpose: Lio, Gueira, and Meis intentionally let themselves be defeated and captured in the beginning to be taken to the prison containing other Burnish. While they succeed in breaking out with the prisoners, Vulcan predicted this tactic and had a tracker on one of the escapees, which leads to the Freeze Force tracking down the Burnish hideout and capturing them all later on. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| Promare / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: Burnish flames are revealed to be a parasite type alien life form in which responds with certain types of humans who are emotionally sensitive with a strong desire for an outlet, and or for a change of life. Once mutated, Burnish whose will are strong enough are able to morph their flames into however powerful, and useful forms they wish; which includes The Mad Burnish armors, transportation vehicles, and weapon shapes. Depending on the mindset of their host, Burnish members can be Heroic Hosts; which the Mad Burnish members are. | |

Repression Never Ends Well | |
| Promare / int_962badd5 | comment |
Repression Never Ends Well: Discussed by Galo and Lio. Galo asks why the Burnish can't just try to control their urge to burn things, but Lio explains it's not that simple and it's something the Burnish can't hold back. Kray actively represses his link to the Promare and thinks he's inherently better than the other Burnish because of this, but it seems to have had major psychological consequences for him. As a college student, he wasn't able to get it under control and accidentally set fire to a building. | |

Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: When Galo wakes up after being captured to seeing Lio, Galo's ready to go swinging. Lio admonishes him to be quiet as the other Burnish are having a meal, he then sets off a small fire burst in Galo's face after Galo makes a crack about the Burnish actually eating. Lio calmly follows-up asking Galo if he really thought that the Burnish didn't need to eat because they weren't human. This makes Galo realize that despite believing that the Burnish deserve rights, he still subconsciously holds onto society's dehumanizing views of them. All the while as "Λsʜᴇs" plays softly in the background. | |

Religious and Mythological Theme Naming | |
| Promare / int_ae6adc36 | comment |
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: On top of all the names that reference fire in general, many things specifically reference Prometheus, the Titan who was Chained to a Rock for giving fire to mankind. The title itself, the city of Promepolis, and the deceased Dr. Prometh all allude to the myth. Lio's name is apparently derived from the son of Prometheus, Deucalion. Fennel Volcano has a Meaningful Name — the Burnish attempt to hide there, echoing how in some retellings of the myth, Prometheus hid the fire he stole from the gods in a stalk of fennel. The names of Kray and Biar, who are responsible for and likely aware of the truth behind his death, respectively, bring to mind Kratos and Bia, the agents of Zeus who chain him to a rock in Prometheus Bound. Vulcan, aside from being named after the Roman god of fire and metalworking (equivalent to the Greek Hephaestus), was portrayed as the maker of the chain binding Prometheus to the rock in the 1623 oil painting Prometheus Being Chained By Vulcan. | |

Transformation Is a Free Action: Justiied on two fronts: When the Burning Rescue's mechs are deployed, they're fired out of a cannon in their compact states, transform mid-flight, and then "enter" the building in their completed states. When Galo's Matoi initiates its Spear-to-Tech transformation, it starts by engulfing him in a tornado of fire-suppressant that keeps the flame-empowered Mad Burnish at bay. | |

Destroy the Security Camera: Lio, Galo, and Aina watch old security camera footage of Kray murdering Dr. Prometh by shooting him in the head. He then slowly turns to the viewers and fires another shot, causing the feed to go dead. It's unknown exactly what he hoped to achieve by doing this, given that he shot the camera after he was filmed committing murder, and the recording was clearly never erased. | |

Good Colors, Evil Colors | |
| Promare / int_c32201f6 | comment |
Good Colors, Evil Colors: Zig-Zagged. The Burning Rescue mechs seem to be done in bright colors, mostly orange, while the Mad Burnish heavily use black. Inverted with the reveal that the Mad Burnish are actually the good guys, and the true villain is a case of Light Is Not Good. Burning Rescue do remain heroic however. Also, even the Burnish themselves aren't exempt from this as their Technicolor Fire at first seems menacing and a telltale sign of their villainy but are actually heroic — at least in the case of the Mad Burnish anyway — as Kray Foresight's own Burnish powers manifest with predominantly an inverted color scheme that shows Purple Is Powerful. In the climax, the Burnish-powered warp engines are indicated by a searing shade of fuchsia. When Galo and Lio implore them to tap into their connections with the Promare to help save the world, however, the Burnish powers appear as a more pleasant teal shade. | |

Shout-Out: A location seen at a pivotal point in the movie is an homage to Mazinger Z. Deus Prometh's research center looks similar to the Photoatomic Institute, with the two characteristic towers and the iconic pool that opens to let out the mecha (the Deus X Machina, in this case). The Burnish Flame Matoi used by Lio de Galon has an uncanny resemblance to later forms of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha's Raising Heart. | |

The End of the World as We Know It | |
| Promare / int_d71d51fd | comment |
The End of the World as We Know It: During the movie, it happened nearly twice: The first time was in the backstory, when the Burnish appeared 30 years ago. The overuse of their powers resulted in a conflagration that enveloped the world and killed billions. The second time nearly occurred due to Kray Foresight and the Foresight Foundation abusing Burnish to power the wormholes to be used to escape the planet. Using the Burnish in this way would unintentionally antagonize the Promare living in the planet's core, which would have resulted in the entire planet covered by fire, through volcanic eruptions. Of course, this was also predicted to occur before the wormhole project, and accelerated the potential catastrophic event. | |

Company Cross References: Numerous, numerous internal homages to TRIGGER and Gainax's previous works: Galo looks an awful lot like Kamina. He even gets to use a drill! Lio looks a fair bit like Nova. Heris Arebit strongly resembles the pre-Time Skip Kinon. When Lucia has her goggles over her eyes, it looks almost a similar fashion to Simon from Gurren Lagann. Her overall look resembles TRIGGER's mascot, Spring. Mascot Vinny looks like Akko's mouse form. The way Aina pilots her plane is similar to the pose taken by the girls inside a Franxx. The use of Boss Subtitles introducing characters, mecha, and big attacks heavily resembles their appearance in Kill la Kill. Lio de Galon at one point uses a kick framed like that of the Inazuma Kick. The classic GunBuster pose once again returns at a pivotal moment. Galo de Lion bears a notable resemblance to the titular mecha from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. | |

Hidden Disdain Reveal | |

Hidden Disdain Reveal: Galo had always admired Kray for saving his life from the house fire in the past and Kray respects Galo's resolve... or so he claims. When Galo stumbles into Kray's true plans in dealing with the Burnish, Kray admits he actually hated him from the start. While Galo never learned the truth about Kray being a Burnish and the fire until the end, Kray placed him in the Burning Rescue Fire Department because of the high chance he'll die, but secretly grows more frustrated seeing that he refuses to die or back down. | |

If she had not done this, then nobody could have piloted his mecha against Kray, who would probably have killed everybody without anyone to stop him. | |

| Promare / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: To combat Kray’s plans, Galo and Lio receive one called the Deus X Machina by Deus Prometh. They remodel it with Burnish Fire into a cooler-looking one Galo names the “Lio de Galon.� Meanwhile Kray Foresight wields his own in the penultimate fight that, while not name-dropped by Kray, is given the name Krazor X by Galo, which dwarfs theirs in both size and armament. Ultimately, this is all topped in the finale when Galo and Lio, coupled with all the Burnish energy in the world, form a planet-sized mecha by the name of the Galo de Lion to save the world and return the Promare to their home dimension. | |

| Promare / int_e794cb54 | comment |
Powered by a Forsaken Child: The warp drives Kray plans to use to evacuate the Earth use Burnish as a power source, exploiting their interdimensional link to the Promare to open holes in space. The process is agonizing and eventually lethal. Deus Prometh reveals that Kray's warp technology is unfinished; the refined design that powers his Deus X Machina is safe and painless. | |

While Varys, Aina and Lucia all have lots of colorful stickers on their lockers' doors, Remi's locker looks the most professional, with what seems to be some documents and to-do notes posted on the outside...but then Remi opens the door, and on the inside there are two big pin-ups of naked women. Additionally, there's a small photo of Remi and his girlfriend. | |

Death Is Gray | |
| Promare / int_ef9abb3c | comment |
Death Is Gray: The Burnish don't leave corpses when they die. Instead, they turn gray before slowly disintegrating into ash, as shown with Thyma. Lio's theme, 'Ashes', references this fact. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Promare / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: After Kray reveals his own gigantic mecha suit to fight Lio de Galon, he uses several attacks that including disintegrating buildings into soil and absolute zero bullets to freeze Lio de Galon. While powerful attacks, he reveals they would have been used to terraform the planet he was evacuating to: the "buildings into soil" gun would have provided farmland and the absolute zero bullets would have been used to hold back volcanic activity. For all of the attack power, they had pragmatic uses. | |

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: To the Burnish, the Mad Burnish are the freedom fighters. To everyone else, the Mad Burnish are terrorists. | |

Trick Bullet: Vulcan fires an Absolute Zero Bullet at Lio to severely weaken him, which constantly freezes the latter. Lio manages to remove it later in a fit of rage after his comrades launch him into a volcano for his safety. | |

This Is a Drill: In what is most definitely a Production Throwback to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Lucia equips Galo's mech with a drill to help him break into the Parnassus to save Lio. | |

Distressed Dude: Lio is in need of saving a fair few times, mainly in the latter half of the film when Kray tricks him and captures him in order to use him for his plans. | |

The Comedy Drop | |
| Promare / int_fb6666b4 | comment |
The Comedy Drop: Galo and Aina share a seemingly romantic moment at the frozen lake when he catches her. He leans in close... and then unceremoniously drops her on the ice to view what he was seeing in the ice's reflection. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Promare / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Given the premise, quite a few characters have names related to fire and classical/mythological references to it. Lio Fotia has this twice over: "Fotia" literally means "fire" in Greek. "Lio" sounds like a variant of "Leo", fitting his proud and leaderlike personality. It is also a fire sign. Rivals Ignis and Vulcan. "Ignis" is Latin for "fire", "Vulcan" is the Roman god of fire and volcanoes. The latter's surname Haestus evokes Vulcan's Greek counterpart, Hephaestus. The Ardebit sisters: "Ardebit" is a Latin conjugation of "ardeo" that means "to burn". | |
