Blaze Black Flare

**Blaze Black Flare**, also known as the **Evil Dragon's Black Flames**, is the Sacred Gear wielded by Genshirou Saji of Sona Sitri's peerage. It is one of the four Vritra's Sacred Gears, which hold the soul of the eponymous Evil Dragon inside of them.

## Summary

Blaze Black Flare is one of the four Sacred Gears which hold fragments of the soul and consciousness of the legendary Evil Dragon Vritra from Hindu mythology inside of them. According to Indra, it is unclear how the Biblical God managed to get a hold of Vritra's soul, though he himself has no intention to ever find out why.

Sometimes in the middle of the 19th-century, the former wielder of Blaze Black Flare was captured and brought to the Grigori's base in Purgatory to have their Sacred Gear extracted out of their body in order to complete Azazel's Sacred Gear collection.

After the Kuoh Treaty was signed, to satisfy his own curiosity about what would happen if all four Vritra's Sacred Gears are placed within the same user, Azazel "borrowed" Genshirou Saji, the wielder of Absorption Line, and implanted the three other Sacred Gears inside of him, including the Blaze Black Flare.

## Appearance

Blaze Black Flare takes the form of cursed flames that are a mixture of black and purple in color.

## Abilities

Blaze Black Flare gives the user access and control over Vritra's infamous curse-infused black fire, whose intensity and destructiveness rivals that of Ddraig's Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames. The fire is that of a darker, detrimental nature and is almost demonic in origins, and represents the hazardous destructive side of fire, which in turn ignores most of the limitations and weaknesses of normal fire.

The fire can damage, destroy, and consume anything/everything they come across that is of the physical world, obliterating them to the point where they are completely erased from existence. Due to the cursed aspects of the flames, it is capable of cursing the soul of any being caught and/or killed by them for eternity, with the user being the only exception as it grants them immunity over all forms of fire that aren't of celestial nature. The curse properties of these flames are enough to counter the divine attribute of the divine flames generated by the gods through their divine power.

When used with Absorption Line, the flames can be transferred through the generated lines toward the restrained targets, in addition to Genshirou being skilled enough with his Sacred Gears to slowly burn his targets alive with the flames.

## Forms

### Malebolge Vritra Promotion

**Malebolge Vritra Promotion** (罪科の獄炎龍王マーレボルジェ・ヴリトラ・プロモーション, *Māreboruje Vuritora Puromōshon*), also known as the **Dragon King's Flame Prison of Guilt**, is Genshirou Saji's X-Side Balance Breaker of his Vritra's Sacred Gears, which includes his Blaze Black Flare.

It creates a black dragon Scale Mail which strengthens the user's powers and abilities, in addition to Blaze Black Flare's power being significantly upgraded in terms of power, as the cursed flames are strengthened to the point of being able to compete against the holy fire of Walburga's Incinerate Anthem. He can also inflict multiple curses on other beings, and it is noted that the flames will curse anyone to death indiscriminately of friends or foes if they approach carelessly.

## Trivia

* Like all Vritra's Sacred Gears, it is considered a Trap-type Sacred Gear.
* Indra noted that the flames created by Blaze Black Flare are significantly more deadly than the ones created by Vritra thousands of years ago, implying that the Biblical God upgraded its power by several times.
