"We’re in a lot more trouble than Akira thinks. That was a technique used by the Quincy. If I'm not mistaken, then it appears he also absorbs some measure of the victim's skills."

Lauffeuer (山火事 (やまかじ), German for "Bushfire") is a technique born of Averian's mimicry of an existing Quincy technique, gained through his Devourer of Souls (霊食い, Reikui; Literally meaning "Soul-Food") ability. Following his acquisition of it, Lauffeuer became one of Averian's preferred techniques.

Overview

The flames produced by the Wandenreich primarily took the form of large pillars reaching from the ground into the heavens, which were composed of extremely dense reishi. The Sternritter who employed the technique were capable of hiding within the created flames, emerging to attack their opposition suddenly. Averian has used this particular version as a defensive option to discourage frontal assaults.

Averian's initial usage of the technique produced flames of a lesser scope, setting the sand of Hueco Mundo alight, but retaining enough semblance to the original for Gundinger to recognize it. Only a short time later, he demonstrated greater ability in the use of the technique, to the point of creating an inferno to surround his opposition, cutting off potential escape.

Author's notes

Behind the scenes

• In the author's primary works, Averian employed a form of pyrokinesis, which eventually became his primary weapon after acquiring, repairing, and then assimilating the powers of the Sōkyoku.

Trivia

• The name of the technique is derived from Logi, the personification of fire in Norse mythology. Logi, in the story of Gylfaginning, is described as "wildfire itself". "Wildfire" and "Bushfire" are largely interchangeable terms.
