Wave of Fire
CharacterWave of Fire is a fiery move drawn from Shūsuke Amagai's Bankai, Raika Gōen Kaku. Seen only in the anime, it turns his white-hot blade into the wellspring of a rolling flood of flame that sweeps across the ground to engulf whoever stands before him.
Overview
Wave of Fire is an anime-original technique tied to Shūsuke Amagai's Bankai, Raika Gōen Kaku. Its name is an unofficial label rather than a title given in the story, and it exists purely to describe the fire attack he unleashes during his animated confrontation with Ichigo Kurosaki.
Mechanics
To perform it, Amagai brings his oversized blade to a white-hot glow, raises it upright, and drives the point down into the earth. From that impact a huge sheet of flame surges outward and rolls forward like a breaking tide, aiming to swallow the enemy in searing fire. The attack is far from unstoppable, however, as Ichigo Kurosaki walks through it without much trouble once he dons his Hollow mask.
Notable Users
The move belongs solely to Shūsuke Amagai, who calls on it during his anime-only clash with Ichigo. Because it appears only in the animated series and was never named in an official source, the wiki treats its title as conjectural.
