Gōen Ryūga
CharacterGōen Ryūga, meaning Dragon Fang's Karmic Flame, is an anime-only attack channeled through Raika Gōen Kaku, the Bankai wielded by Shūsuke Amagai. It buries a target inside a cage of fire that erupts from the earth.
Overview
Gōen Ryūga, which translates as Dragon Fang's Karmic Flame, is one of the moves Shūsuke Amagai draws from his released Bankai, Raika Gōen Kaku. The technique appears only in the anime and works by walling an opponent in with flame that rises from the ground.
Mechanics
Amagai whirls the sword overhead until flame sheathes the blade and bursts from his pauldron, gathering lightning as he goes, then drives the weapon into the ground as a bolt strikes. The earth quakes and spears of fire burst upward at scattered angles, hemming the enemy inside a blazing prison. He can also loose the fire spears one or a few at a time rather than all at once. Calling on the technique leaves him drained afterward.
