### Techniques

**Flame Desperado**: Attack clearly prepared with English words, translated as "*Bandido of Flames*". "*Desperado*" can be confused with "*Desperate*" in Spanish, and although the root word is the same, "*Desperado*" in English is used to refer to the outlaws of the Wild West. Souma charges his fist with his flame Cosmo and hits the opponent with a devastating punch that scorches his adversary and sends them flying.

**Lionet Burning Fire**: Gathering a large amount of flames into his fist, Souma unleashes a steady stream of fire at his opponent from a distance. Souma developed this technique during the Saint Fight and debuted it during his match with Kouga.

**Lionet Bomber**: Souma covers his whole body with flames and then uses his shoulder to tackled his opponent with tremendous force. Aside from the head-on impact, the fire that surrounds Souma is able to pass onto the opponent and consume their body and injure them with severe burns. Originally a technique of the previous Lionet Saint, Ban, it was taught to Souma by the former Unicorn Saint, Jabu, after he found and saved the young Lionet Saint in the desert. Souma has commented that this is his strongest technique.

**Lionet Explosion**: Souma creates a fireball in front of him, then starts turning on itself, dragging the field with it, it grows and grows to be higher than a person. After giving several twists and gain momentum, Souma sends the ball against its target, destroying it completely.

**Lionet Flare Storm Bomber**: Souma rises in the air, bursts into flames and drops on the enemy like a projectile, creating a fiery explosion on contact with the target or with soil, incinerating everything around. It's a technique that combines his Lionet Bomber with Yuna's Storm Tornado.

**Lionet Burst Flame Bomber**: A more powerful version of **Lionet Flare Storm Bomber** combined with his Lionet Omega Cloth. The development of this technique is very similar to the version of Souma's technique Lionet Bomber; Souma bursts into flames and bombards his target with his right shoulder.

* Has a hard time controlling his emotions when angered

## Equipment

**Lionet Cloth Stone**: One of the 48 Bronze Cloth Stones worn by Athena's Bronze Saints. The Cloth consists of red-orange armored platting that fully covers his chest, most of his arms, shoulders and legs, and one of the shoulderplates crosses over his heart, forming an orange circle in the center, all over a black, sleeveless outfit. Several orange gems and flame designs appear on parts of his body, along with a orange-red tiara that bares the Leo Minor's face on it, as well as the left shoulder-plate merged with his left arm, merging them into one arm piece of the Cloth. The armored platting on the Cloth's fists shows "claws" similar to that of a lion's, and a long red tattered scarf that is worn around the Cloth's neckline. When not in use, Souma stores it in a brown, wristband Cloth Stone.

**Lionet New Cloth**: After having his cloth repaired by Aries Kiki, it now receives some minor changes: it now covers Souma's upper chest while bearing the eyes, nose and fangs of a lion, only leaving his stomach exposed, his arm and leg platting change shape with the addition of a belt around his waist, a pair of three claws appear on his knuckles and feet, and his tattered red scarf now has several light-orange highlights on the fabric's hemline.

**Lionet Omega Cloth**: During the battle against Hyperion, Souma's Cloth is totally destroyed as they desperately try to defeat the Class-1 Pallasite. As they get up and burn their Cosmo once more, they reach the Macro Cosmo, finally awakening their true Omega. Souma's Omega Cosmo covers almost 100% of his body, still leaving his stomach exposed, with the upper chest still being protected, a pair of wings have sprouted from his back, golden inlays being added to the Cloth, the Cloth's shoulder platting have changed shape, the scarf is a bit longer in length measurements, and a Lionet (or Leo Minor) symbol has appeared on his chest.
