My top 10 fire users in anime

So, this is sorta the first of these power users in anime I'm gonna do. The first of these is fire users. I'm also gonna do ones like ice users, lighting users and healers as well. But, for now, I'm starting it with fire users. Being one of the more popular and damaging attacks in anime, a lot of characters have made great uses of fire abilities in their series. Whether it's just setting various things on fire or creating different ways to use it, fire has always been one of the more destructive anime powers used. And so, let's get begin and I hope you all like this.

10. Endeavor (My Hero Academia):

Starting us off at number 10 is the number 2 hero in My Hero Academia, the flame hero, Endeavor. After a being number 2 behind All Might for a long time, Endeavor decided to have children who he could raise to surpass All Might. As a result, his family resented him and he began to have a change of heart after a while. But after All Might was officially retired from hero work, Endeavor then became the number 1 hero. And his quirk is fire that he uses for great destructive fights. The most notable is in a recent fight where he's up against a Nomu and uses so much power to beat it due to its strength. He may have received great injuries as a result, but he still won the fight with it by using new moves we hadn't seen from him yet.

9. Magna (Black Clover):

Next up is the fire magic using knight of the Black Bulls, Magna. When he was younger, he lived in the place called Rayaka as a peasant until he joined the Black Bull magic knights with his fire magic. His main weapon with his magic is a bat made of fire or he might just shoot regular fireballs from his hands. All this has also helped him in various situations like when he was in the dungeon and came back stronger or when he and Luck fought Vetto or when he competed in the Royal Knight Selection Exam.

8. Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist):

This state alchemist is the only person to ever learn flame alchemy. When he learned about it from Hawkeye's dad, she asked him to destroy the research on her back so there would be no more flame alchemists so no one could use it for evil. But, as the only user of it, Mustang has put it to great uses. He mostly uses his gloves for it called ignition gloves where he snaps his fingers to make a spark then using alchemy to create the explosion of flames. He's not only used it for offence, but also using it for destroying whatever he wants or melting locks. He's also used it to fight against Envy by blasting him over and over until he was reduced to his real form.

7. Itachi (Naruto):

At number 7 is the older of the Uchiha brothers. Fire jutsu is essentially the main type of jutsu from the Uchiha clan. Every single natural born Uchiha learns fire jutsu at some point and Itachi's skills with it are incredible. Sure, there's the obvious Fireball jutsu that's the main staple of the Uchiha, but there's also all the other fire jutsu that he's able to do with the Sharingan. When using the Mangekyo Sharingan, he's able to use Amaterasu which can burn through anything the caster wants until it leaves nothing but ashes. Plus, his Susano'o and Totsuka Blade both look like they're made of fire.

6. Sasuke (Naruto):

While Itachi's abilities with fire may be impressive, there's no denying that Sasuke definitely surpassed him towards the end of the series and into Boruto as well. Everything I said about Itachi is true for Sasuke too with having the normal Fireball, Dragon Flame and Phoenix Flower jutsus at the beginning, then getting his own Mangekyo Sharingan, Amaterasu and Susano'o, but once he met the Sage Of The Six Paths and got his own Rinnegan, his power went up a huge step. He could do more things with the Amaterasu, he could shoot fire jutsus from his Susano'o and could later use Amaterasu without it hurting.

5. Hiei (Yu Yu Hakusho):

This demon may be short in size, but his power is nothing to scoff at. Being the child of both a fire demon and ice demon, Hiei gained the properties of both, but prefers the fire aspects. While his main choice of combat is a sword, his demon power in regards to his fire abilities are huge. His main one being his Fist Of The Mortal Flame attack where his fists become enveloped in flames for him to punch an opponent. But the most destructive attack of his is the Dragon Of The Darkness Flame where he shoots out fire from his arm in the shape of a dragon that leaves nothing of his target. He also has the ability to absorb the Darkness Flame to make him stronger or use it with his sword to slice through anything. And, since he's the child of a fire demon, he's immune to fire attacks himself.

4. Todoroki (My Hero Academia):

While his dad may have originally wanted him to be the one to surpass All Might, Shoto Todoroki has evolved so much outside of that. Before his fight with Deku in the U.A. Sports Festival, Todoroki was against using his fire quirk at all due to not wanting to have anything to do with his dad at all. But after Deku convinced him that it was fine considering his quirk was his own and not someone else's, he finally began using his fire quirk as well his ice quirk. Todoroki has also grown to the point where because his dad abused him as a child, he's trying to connect with him slowly and being able to use his fire ability is one way. It's also beneficial for him since he has both fire and ice which allows him to heat up or cool down his body if he overuses his power.

3. Yamamoto (Bleach):

At number 3 is the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto. While his methods may be ruthless in regards to doing whatever it takes to complete missions, his own raw power with his Zanpakuto is pretty insane. His use of fire is all with his Zanpakuto. When he takes it out, the blade is enveloped by fire and he can hold fire in his Bankai. In fact, he's so powerful that when he uses his Bankai, he literally says "All things in the universe turn to ashes."

2. Ace (One Piece):

Coming in close to number 1 is fire fist himself, Portgas D. Ace. After leaving the Goa Kingdom to be a pirate at age 17, Ace was shipwrecked on an island along with another man named Masked Deuce and found the Flame-Flame fruit and ate it so they wouldn't go hungry. Ace was the first one to eat it so he got the powers of the fruit. And, with it, Ace can do so many things. He can launch fire in the shape of his fist at opponents, make huge fireballs, use his fingers as fire guns, create little green flares to explode and create a tunnel of fire. This is even how he got the nickname "Fire Fist Ace." Plus, the Flame-Flame Fruit is a Logia type Devil Fruit, he's able to literally become fire, especially whenever he's attacked.

And my number 1 favourite fire user in anime is... Natsu (Fairy Tail):

And finally at number 1 is the fire using Dragon Slayer of the Fairy Tail guild, Natsu Dragneel. While a lot of these other users of fire might be slightly more destructive and powerful, fire is Natsu's everything in a fight. After learning Dragon Slayer magic from Igneel, he can do anything he wants with it. Punch with fire, use fire as whips, use it to give himself a boost in speed, shoot it from his mouth, hands, elbows, feet and engulf his whole body with it for a charge attack. And, if he's ever running low on fire magic, he can just eat fire around him that he hasn't created himself to replenish it. He's also able to withstand absolutely any fire magic attacks dealt to him. And his power is magnified more when he either goes into his Dragon Force Mode or Fire Dragon King Mode. He can even incorporate other elements into his fire too like lightning. And all that is why Natsu is my favourite fire user in anime.
