However, he can also utilize them for other, less violent purposes, such as keeping people warm so long as they don't get too close to him or as a light source for when it gets too dark to see.

Fire Punch unique, and are why I rate it a 6, but you have to decide that for yourself. Many people try to ascribe a lot of different themes to this manga, themes that I don’t necessarily agree with. On its face, it’s wholly nihilistic, depressing, and little room for redemption, but that can be what draws you to it. Tena begs him to not go after Judah and stay Agni for her, Oia and Lanou. When he hear this request, Agni reminisces about his past with Luna and the promise he made to her. He then declares to Tena he's not Agni but Fire Punch. After assaulting her, he's been cast into Doma's flames again by her son, Oia. Agni becomes both in image and spirit Fire Punch. His true entrance is at the end of chapter 45. As Agni thinks about the trauma and pain he had to endure throughout the years, he imagines his sister asking him to kill Doma for her. Upon hearing her request to be Fire Punch, Agni disfigures his face and becomes Fire Punch. The difficult part for me with respect to the nihilism, and gradual recision of Agni’s character was that, I really enjoy stories with strong protagonists, one’s that I can identify with, or at least, can identify with their motives and reasons for being. Here, while the story is fantastical and, one can argue, damn near impossible to relate to much of anything going on, for much of the later story I couldn’t fathom, or even remotely understand, what the characters were doing. Or perhaps worse, how they got to thinking what they did and acting how they did with respect to the story prior, and that’s Fujimoto’s fault for the lightening fast pacing. a b "Fire Punch, Vol. 8".

The main issue with the characters is that they never truly have the time allocated to develop. The problem is not that the characters are bad but a lot of them show potential which is never realised upon. The main characters struggle could be the only exeption to this and he is by all means quite interesting.Medicham holds out its fist and its hand turns red. Its hand bursts into flames and then punches the opponent.
