## Personality

Blazion is very bold and motivated in the anime. He firmly believes that hard work is something to be proud of, and it makes people feel better. He is very active as well. In the original Japanese, Blazion only says "Mera", which was replaced by animal-like exclamations (which can make him sound like a dog when Blazion is being very hot-blooded in a given scene) in the English dub, and during the fight with Noway, he says "Muri!/No way!."

It was revealed in *Hapyon Detective Agency vs. Carl San Fantastico: The Red Treasure* that Blazion can talk normally while he was in his flameless form. Although this is true, he can speak a few words with his manes.

## Relationships

### Nate and Whisper

Blazion is one of Nate's usual choice whenever he needs a brave Yo-kai.

### Roughraff

Blazion bumped into Roughraff and fought him. They beat each other up in a draw match. Roughraff liked how tough Blazion was and became his friend.

### Lie-in Heart

When Blazion first met Lie-in Heart, he seemed to be annoyed by his laziness. After Lie-in heart convinced Blazion Bear needed more time and that making him do it now would make him worse, Blazion seemed touched by it and seemed to agree with Lie-in Heart's logic.

## Powers and Abilities

Blazion is a feisty little devil. He makes people feel super motivated and overly competitive.

In *Yo-kai So-Sorree*, he burns So-Sorree as payback for what the apology Yo-kai made Nate do to his classmates and Whisper. So-Sorree fumes at the three of them and Blazion, Whisper, and Nate mock him by mimicking his signature insincere apology.

In *Yo-kai Lie-In Heart*, Nate summons Blazion to deal with Lie-in Heart and prevent the other lion Yo-Kai from making Bear procrastinate on his homework. However, Lie-in Heart ends up convincing Blazion that his unbound enthusiasm is reckless.

In *Yo-kai Furdinand*, Furdinand makes his hair longer and wackier.
