Scorch Release: Furious Lion

expresses the endless rage that resides within Hōsōshi into scorching flames, that increases in power if his anger or irritation intensifies. The technique standardly begins with a huge wave of flames that scourge over the ground, evaporating all the water from "small" life that it comes in contact with, before it takes the shape of a lion. Hitting the opponent with the lion — intensified with Hōsōshi's fury — will extremely weaken the opponent, which can fatally lead to be consumed by the evaporating flames. If the opponent is hit by the first wave of the scorching flames, it passively leaves burning sensations and marks, and could potentially dehydrate them (depending on the strength of the flames).
