Has there ever been an anime character that used fire powers in an actually interesting way? Phoenix "flames of reincarnation" type shit doesn't count.
It seems like flames are the most basic, boring element. You really can't do anything creative or innovative with them.
Needless has Aruca/Aruka.
Although I guess vibrating molecules isn't exactly fire based.
Screw creativity. All one needs is the path of EXPLOSIONS.
You just haven't watched anything that does so
Give an example then
You need more Megumin in your life.
>making explosions
>a creative use of fire powers
I knew Meguminfags were retarded, but thanks for reinforcing that.
Explosions are neither creative or even fire.
SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH
>explosions arent fire
Are you fucking serious faggot.
>Explosions are neither creative or even fire.
>neither creative
>or even fire
DRAGON SLAV is fire and awesome.
Are you both wrong and angry faggot?
Explosions always being fiery is a hollywood myth. It's just a large expansion of kinetic energy.
If you think I'm wrong then explain torpedoes and depth charges.
You gotta be trolling.
Fire is hard to control and increased ability at fire magic usually means more fire or hotter fire. It's not like water magic or nature magic where you can do a whole lot of different stuff with it.
Explosions aren't fucking fire you retard. Certain types of explosions CAN be firey, but in the end it's a burst of kinetic energy.
Trolling because I understand that an explosion is in no way related to fire?
Flame of Recca.
>Certain types of explosions CAN be firey
you mean like megumins explosions, you autist?
motherfucker creates a "life-detector" flame to alert him if theres anybody nearby. This would've been cool if he invented earlier in the series, but no it was near the end it's purpose was to get jobbed hard.
FMA:B, Mustangs alchemy concept makes his fire interesting. Although he doesn't do anything particularly unique with them.
But aren't all you retards because in Megumin's case, it's a fire based explosion, with the ignited cloud, incinerated ground, and everything?
You thought all explosions were fiery, got a bunch of people correcting you and calling you stupid, and now you're pretending you were only talking about Megumin the whole time as damage control. Everybody can see this and the sooner you just give up the better.
Isn't explosion magic considered seperate from fire magic in Kono Suba anyway? Also, regardless of whether those explosions in particular are fire, the retard was claiming all explosions are, and to begin with, explosions aren't a creative use of powers to begin with.
>You thought
You're the only one doing damage control, I'm not even him.
>interesting way
Does turning your body into fire counts?
FLAME ON
Alchemy from FMA is more like "non-magic" like bending in Avatar or the force in SW. It goes too far out of it's way to be established as not magic.
With that said Mustangs just condensing air, hurling it at people, and setting it on fire
Not OP, but I enjoy that type of thing if it's done with realistic drawbacks and everything, i.e, Negi's lightning form from Mahou Sensei Negima.
Nobody is falling for it.
>heat rises
>fire is hot
when are fire magicians going to learn to fly like they rightfully should
That's why I think it's more interesting in concept rather than usage. Would have been nice to see him use the manipulation in a different way.
>BUT YOU PHOTOSHOPPED THAT!
>desert heat causes mirages
>no illusion based fire users
Also, now that I think about it, I think I remember a character from Bionicle novels from when I was a kid using the whole "heat rises" thing, though not to fly.
>if I accuse myself first nobody else can do it
Cunning, shopmeister.
But that doesn't even prove you're not the original guy who thought all explosions were fiery. What the hell is wrong with your brain?
Well heat doesn't rise. Less dense particle rise. So the user would still need someway to support them self on said particles.
>You really can't do anything creative or innovative with them.
Mustang "casting" them was interesting enough. Overall it depends on the writing.
This, skip all the fireworks / fire dancing display, go straight to the artillery category.
What's refreshing about Mustang's alchemy is how powerful it is. It completely overwhelmed everything apart from the big bad. A nice change from the usual case in which flame powers don't seem to be able to cause anything more than first degree burns.
Fire has very few practical applications because it has no solid mass so it can't really be used to move around other things the way air water or earth can. And it just burns and destroys most things you touch with it which limits that even more.
I've seen characters fly by propelling themselves with fire like jet engines if that counts.
Ace's powers were nice done, and of course then he died.
The applications for fire are pretty limited, it's not like it can go through a state change like water/ice or rock/mud(earth). Even walls of fire are basically just incineration not inertia stoppers.
You can make it so that the fire is the byproduct of a complex process ala Mustang but that is pretty much it.
>can turn his blood into flames
>can reverse this and turn flames into blood
OP learn to watch good anime.
Well, considering what it is, your options are pretty limited. Generally, the neater stuff relating to heat or the production of fire with powers comes from it being more complicated than just having the ability to spawn flame alone.
Feitan's pain packer/rising sun is pretty great
