Dark Fire is a fire-based assault linked to Koan, notable for its unusual blue flames. It appears in the anime and the role-playing game, where it works as a shadowy mirror to Sailor Mars's own fire technique.
Despite carrying the label of flame, this attack burns an eerie blue rather than the expected orange. It belongs chiefly to Koan and stands as a dark counterpart to the fire ability that Sailor Mars relies on, setting the two techniques against each other whenever they meet.
Its first animated outing lands in the sixtieth episode, where Koan hurls the blue blaze to block Chibiusa's escape. The flames prove strong enough to trade blows with Fire Soul, holding their own until Rei awakens the fiercer Burning Mandala and overwhelms them. Within the role-playing title Another Story, the same move can scorch the guardians directly.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
