The Blaze Black Flare, also known as the Evil Dragon's Black Flame (邪龍の黒炎, Jaryū no Kokuen) is a Sacred Gear wielded by Genshirou Saji of the Student Council and the pawn of Sona Sitri.
It holds a part of the Prison Dragon Vritra's soul and is one out of the four Vritra-type Sacred Gears that Saji owns.
Summary[]
At some point, the Grigori had previously retrieved Vritra-type Sacred Gears such as Blaze Black Flare.[1]
It first appeared in Volume 7, when Grigori implanted it and other Vritra Sacred Gears into Saji during the final battle against Loki, where Saji used it in tandem with his other Sacred Gears to restrain Loki and burn a handful of his army just enough for Issei to strike him.[1]
In Volume 17, Saji achieved his Balance Breaker as a result of the combination of the four Vritra Sacred Gears and the fusion of Saji and Vritra, all while he fought against Walburga where the two clashed with each other's respective flames.[2]
Appearance[]
The fire it generates is seen as jet-black in color. In the anime, it's shown to also have a hint of purple mixed into it.
Abilities[]
Saji using Blaze Black Flare alongside his Absorption Line lines
Blaze Black Flare gives the user access and control over Vritra's intensive jet-black colored flames that are infused with curses similar to hell-fire. The Sacred Gear can also be used to create a barrier made of fire, which is powerful enough to restrict the movements of opponents as powerful as Sköll and Hati and an army of mass-produced Midgardsormr clones.[1] Additionally, the user is able to use these black flames to shoot out a breath of fire.[3]
The flames themselves are able to curse the soul of any being caught and killed by them for eternity, with the user being the only exception as it grants it immunity over them since they can be used to cover the wielder for protection. The curse properties of these flames are enough to counter the divine attribute of Incinerate Anthem's Holy Fire to a certain degree.[2]
When used with Absorption Line, the flames can be transferred along its lines towards its restrained targets.[3]
Forms[]
Malebolge Vritra Promotion[]
Malebolge Vritra Promotion (罪科の獄炎龍王, Māreboruje Vuritora Puromōshon), also known as the Dragon King's Flame Prison of Guilt (罪科の獄炎龍王, Zaika no Gokuenryūō), is Saji's combined Balance Breaker of Blaze Black Flare with the rest of his Vritra's Sacred Gears which creates a jet-black Dragon Armor that strengthens the user's powers and abilities. The jet-black flames are strengthened to the point of being able to compete against the Holy Fire of Incinerate Anthem. The user can now inflict multiple curses onto other beings, and it is noted that the flames will curse anyone to death if they approach carelessly.[2]
Trivia[]
- In Volume 7, it was revealed that Blaze Black Flare belonged to someone else before being bestowed to Saji by Azazel.[1]
- According to Azazel, Blaze Black Flare's cursed flames curse the target with negative energy, in contrast with the Kasha which purifies the target it is used against with positive power.[4]
