Hiei first appeared as Urameshi's enemy in YuYu Hakusho. However, he later turned into a partner who helped Urameshi in various dangerous battles against enemies who threatened the human world.
Hiei was originally a lower level demon, but his strength increased over time until his rank rose even higher. He has various kinds of deadly fighting moves or techniques.
What are they? Check out the complete discussion below!
10. Flamethrower
Hiei can use black flame from the demon world. Despite this, he could use flames from the human world to fight. One example is the Flamethrower technique.
This technique is a long-range attack released by Hiei when he fought against a member of Team Toguro named Bui. Unfortunately, the technique was completely ineffective against him.
9. Fist of the Mortal Flame
Different from the previous technique, Fist of the Mortal Flame has an advantage in close combat. The technique allows Hiei to coat his fists with flames from the human world.
Hiei first demonstrated the technique when he fought against Kuro Momotaro who had a high level of armor defense. With this technique, Hiei's boxing power becomes more destructive and has a fatal impact on the opponent.
8. Super Speed
One of Hiei's advantages compared to his comrades is that he has super speed so he can teleport in a short time. He also often applies this speed in battle.
For example, Hiei can slash and finish his enemy before the enemy realizes Hiei's attack. This can be seen when Hiei fights against a Seishiju member named Seiryu.
7. Swordsmanship
Apart from relying on speed, Hiei has skills as a sword user. He very often uses his sword to attack his enemies. He learned this ability from a demon named Shigure.
As time went by, Hiei continued to train and develop his sword skills so that he had his own fighting style. When combined with his super speed, Hiei's sword slashes become even more deadly.
6. Jagan
Jagan is Hiei's third eye which he obtained after he underwent a transplant under Shigure's surgery. These eyes are one of Hiei's greatest sources of strength. He has supporting abilities, such as telepathy, telekinetics, and seeing from a distance.
Apart from that, Hiei can control the minds of demons and weak humans through these eyes. What is clear is that Hiei's third eye ability is truly impressive and allows him to be superior in battle.
5. Jaganshi Transformation
Jaganshi is a transformation of Jagan's eyes that was shown by Hiei at the beginning of the story. When transformed into this form, Hiei's appearance becomes very scary and looks like a real devil.
Hiei's body is filled with extra eyes making him even more difficult to attack because he has no blind spots. Apart from that, he gains significant additional strength so that he can knock out opponents easily.
4. Jagan Binding Curse
Jagan Binding Curse is a special technique that Hiei can only activate when he transforms into Jaganshi form. This technique allows Hiai to paralyze his enemies with bindings made of energy.
The ties were very difficult to remove and made it difficult for Yusuke. To use this technique, Hiei apparently requires a high level of focus. If the focus is disturbed, the technique can weaken and can be broken easily.
3. Sword of the Darkness Flame
Sword of the Darkness Flame is an interesting technique Hiei demonstrated when he fought against Kuro Momotaro. He felt reluctant to use this technique because the way it worked was similar to Kuwabara's spiritual sword.
When using this technique, Hiei will channel the black fire from the dragon he summons and create a new sword. He then slashed the sword at his enemy with his full strength.
2. Dragon Absorption
Hiei's next strongest technique is Dragon Absorption. The way the technique works is quite interesting. Hiei will direct the black fire dragon towards him and then absorb the dragon's power. He also gets massive additional strength, speed and defense.
Hiei first demonstrated the technique when he fought Bui in the Dark Tournament. The technique allows him to match Bui's strength until he manages to defeat him.
1. Dragon of the Darkness Flame
It probably goes without saying that Hiei's strongest technique is the Dragon of the Darkness Flame. This technique allows Hiei to issue attacks in the form of a dragon created from the black flames of the demon world.
This technique is very strong and can reduce the enemy to ashes. However, this technique requires large amounts of energy and is very difficult to control. When he first used the technique, Hiei's hand was badly injured.
Even so, Hiei tries to master the technique slowly so that he can maximize its potential in battle.
