It was an indescribable pain. Each time my flesh turned to ash... my regeneration would kick in. It was an endless cycle. I couldn't think straight and no longer had it in me to scream. All I could do... was pray to God. I couldn't take it. I cursed my blessing. My regenerative powers. And then I realized it. By focusing my mind on negating the regenerative powers of my arm.. it would die and no longer regenerate. I had found a way to escape the pain.

She told me to live. Consumed in the flames of anguish... she was returned to ash.

Year one... all I did was howl in pain. Even through the worst of storms, the flames never subsided. Year three... I began to walk, coughing up blood all the while. To distract myself from the pain, I bit off my tongue over and over again. Year five... My brain acclimated to the pain. My body could move about freely. But I still could not breathe well because of the flames. Year eight... I started teaching myself how to control my regenerative powers. I succeeded in confining my flames to my lower body, away from my head. For the first time in a long while, I could breathe the air.

I curled my hand into a fist.

I'm the one who killed your father. And I torched your family and loved ones. I'm not Agni. I'm Fire Punch.

Summary

Agni is the protagonist of Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga Fire Punch. One among the rare people blessed with powers on a frozen, dying world, Agni's Blessing gifts him with powerful regeneration, which he uses to feed his village by repeatedly chopping off his arms, and gifting them as food. However, one day this village is approached by a platoon led by a man known as Doma. Blessed with the power to emanate flames that never go out, Doma is disgusted by the village's cannibalistic tendencies, and burns it down to the ground.

With his incredible regenerative powers keeping him alive against the agony of the flames now forever burning his flesh, Agni manages to eventually will himself back on his feet with the sole mission to kill Doma. Through the events of Fire Punch however Agni finds his motivations and goals shifting multiple times, going from a hero beloved by the weak to a murderous berserker feared by all, a god worshiped by an entire town and a simple man living an anonymous life, always pushed forward by his sister's last words: an order to push forward and live, no matter the cost.

Stamina: Superhuman. After being set on an unending fire for years, kept alive by his regeneration powers, Agni managed to eventually power through the pain and learn to function[5] in a process that took years of unending agony, all despite having the ability to end his own life. Even during the events of Fire Punch, Agni still feels the agony and has not grown numb to it,[12] and it is so strong that once the flames were temporarily removed, Agni did not feel any sensations on his body at all.[22] Beyond this, Agni has willingly subjected himself to other kinds of torture, such as repeatedly having his face cut apart to feed a population.[13]

Range: Standard Melee Range .

Standard Equipment: None. Agni is usually unable to wear clothes due to the fires surrounding him.

  • Optional Equipment: Agni has used a metallic, fireproof arm that increased the strength of his blows, and that he could set aflame for a temporary fire boost by speaking the words "Fire Punch".[27]

Intelligence: Below Average (Due to having spent most of his lifetime in complete agony and effectively being unable to interact with the environment in any way as he was constantly regenerating from Doma's flames, Agni effectively has the mentality of someone much younger than his actual age. However, he has shown to be quite clever in other regards, having assimilated his combat training quite well and being an incredibly convincing liar when no longer affected by the pain of the flames surrounding him)

Standard Tactics: Agni typically engages his opponents in hand to hand combat, but will tear off and throw parts of his body[31] or simply objects laying around as a flaming attack to hit far away enemies.

Weaknesses: Is constantly in complete agony. Cannot affect high-quality fireproof cloth.[1] Somewhat mentally and emotionally stunted due to the incredible pain he's always in.
