Jet Kindling

ArticleSource revision

Jet Kindling, full name Flashfire Fist: Jet Kindling, is an Ultimate Move performed by Shoto using the Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk.

Description#

Shoto concentrates his flames into a white-hot point on his fist and punches his opponent. On contact, a violent explosion of flames bursts out of Shoto's arm, severely burning his target.

Shoto can use it in a punching motion without directly striking his target by shooting a concentrated fiery beam at them, similar to what can be done with Jet Burn, as demonstrated during his fight against Dabi.

Shoto first uses this move against Leviathan during Mission: Humarise to defeat the Trigger-enhanced Villain by burning him up from the inside.[1]

During the Paranormal Liberation War, Shoto uses it against Tomura Shigaraki, in conjunction with Nejire Hado's Nejire Flood,[2] and again against Dabi and his Jet Burn attack, though the Blueflame user's technique ultimately won out.[3]

Trivia#

  • Jet Kindling is the first Flashfire Fist move not to be first developed by Endeavor.
  • Jet Kindling and Hell's Curtain are the only Flashfire Fist techniques that aren't shared between any of its users, in this case being unique to Shoto's move set.
