Hien

Hien (飛焰^?, Blazing Flame)^{[† 1]} is an Unrestricted Spell unique to Shana.

After she regained her power as a Flame Haze inside Seireiden, she had come to realize the symbol of "strength" as the "Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter" during following the fight with a Crimson Lord Vual. She became able to use this spell along with the others: Shinku, Shinpan and Danzai.

Background[]

Like other Unrestricted Spells she learned, Shana named this Unrestricted Spell based on the image evoked by its appearance.

Unlike Shinku which manifests flames as a power that are "flames as something other than flames," this spell unleashes a projection of flame without a distinct shape. The area of effect and the penetrating power granted by its directional focus far surpass that of normal Endan.^[1] This enables Shana to incinerate a wide range of enemies and obstacles all at once. The created wave of flame expands outward in a circle-like pattern; however it does not form a full circle, and leaves the area behind the caster's back untouched.

It can be emitted both from her bare hands and from her sword, Nietono no Shana.

Trivia[]

When Shana first used Hien in Final Episode 10, the scene following her calling the spell's name showed the Gigantic Arm of Crimson made by Shinku crushing Vual's clones, not a wave of flame she unleashed against Sydonay in Final Episode 15.

Notes[]

↑ Written as "飛焔" in Shakugan no Shana no Subete Kan, in digital versions of light novel volumes XVIII, XIX, XX (including printed version page 188), and XXII. "飛焰" is used in printed versions of volumes XVIII, XIX, XX (except page 188), XXII, and in both printed and digital versions of volumes SIII and SIV. "焔" is the simplified form of "焰". Both possess the same pronunciation and meaning.
