An Ignition Ability (発火能力, Hakka Nōryoku) is an ability granted to Third Generations.
Overview
This ability allows the user to generate flames from certain body parts, such as their shoulders, and can also be used for multiple purposes such as welding or creating fireworks.[1] The ability can also be combined with specific types of objects like sword hilts, bubblegum, or matois. It's known that each Ignition Ability user has a different way of using their ability to generate flames; even though the principle of generating fire is kept the same, how they use the flames differ. Generating flames can give the users increase in strength, mobility and speed. In some cases, Third Generations can go beyond the concept of fire, and produce plasma. While they are immune to being burned, they still feel heat.[2]
The effect on the body from overusing an Ignition Ability.
Ignition Abilities have their restrictions when it comes to how much they can be used, also known as Overheat or Ignition Limit (発火限界, Ōbāhīto/ Hakka Genkai). Once the individual has used up a considerable amount of oxygen, which is needed for generating flames, they cannot use their Ignition Abilities until they've regathered the oxygen to do so.[3] When one has overexerted their Ignition Ability, it can potentially lead to burning their own bodies and severe dehydration.[4] As well as this, when a Third Generation user overuses their ability, their bodies begin to char due to the lack of oxygen in the body. This is a type of lung disease called Ash Disease (灰病, Haibyō).[5]
The firepower generated can be intertwined with the physiological state of the user, as Arthur Boyle relies on himself looking like a knight in order to maximize his generated power.[6]
List of Ignition Abilities
| Ability | User | Description |

Shinra uses his Ignition Ability through his feet, allowing him to boost the strength and speed of his kicks by a considerable amount. He has shown to be able to easily kick a ton of weight into the sky with relatively ease. His ability also grants him flight. The ashes he leaves on the floor in image of his footprints were noted to be called the "Devil's Footprints" (悪魔の足跡, Akuma no Ashiato).[7] | |
 |
Arthur's Ignition Ability allows him to fabricate plasma on the hilt of his sword, creating "Excalibur" — a sharp, concentrated blade, with which he uses a type of swordplay that is equivalent to plasma cutting. With the use of Excalibur, Arthur is capable of generating electricity. | |
 |
Tamaki's Ignition Ability, dubbed "Nekomata", allows her to gird herself in pink flames, which grant her various cat-like traits, including cat ears, two forked tails and nails on her fingertips. With her Ignition Ability active, Tamaki's agility and mobility is substantially increased, allowing her to run on all fours. She can also generate a blast of fire from her forked-tails. | |
 |
Takeru's Ignition Ability allows him to generate a myriad of missiles, which he can create and launch from his palms, or moulded from fireballs. Despite Takeru lacking control over the ability, it has lots of destructive power behind it, as demonstrated when it shook a large building.[8] | |
| Leonardo Burns can generate fire through his right eye. Using this ability, he has shown the prowess to jump to extraordinary heights and land without any harm. Though Leonardo has used his ability on numerous occasions, his general ability as a Third Generation is still unspecified. | ||

Gustav's Ignition Ability activates through his scalp, which becomes enveloped in flames. He can use these flames, combined with his physical strength, to repel objects, such as falling debris, with a single headbutt.[9] | |
| Hibana has a range of Ignition Abilities, her main one named Clematis, which allows her to manifest flames in the form of flowers. By gazing at someone, Hibana is able to envelop a persons body in heat, resulting in them developing heat syncope, which can subdue them and cause dizziness. | ||
| Tōru's Ignition Ability, "Backdraft Bubblish Gum", allows him to create a vacuum within a bubblegum balloon and fill it with flammable gas. Due to the balloon being lighter than air, it is able to float. When the balloon pops, the flammable gas reacts with oxygen, causing an explosion. | ||
| A member of the 3 Angels of the 5th has shown the prowess called 3 Sheets Grated Slasher ver.2.3, which allows her to ignite claw-like flames on their hands and swipe at their | ||

Rekka's Ignition Ability "Star Fist Thrust", allowed him to ignite flames around his arms and fists. Once ignited, he thrusts his arms forward in a punching motion and in a karate stance, landing a more powerful blow to the target. Rekka could also punch from a longer distance and make his flames follow through so that if he can't reach the target with his fist, the flames directly hit it. | |
 |
Arrow displayed the ability to ignite fire from her left index finger, and shape the flames into a bow and arrow. Using the ability, she can control the trajectory of the arrow to hit a target accurately, from a long distance. It has enough force to pierce an individual's chest through a layer of ice, and also sever an arm. | |
| Benimaru can use his Ignition Ability on objects, notably his brigades matois, which explode on impact. Benimaru is also shown to create large fireballs, and use his Iai Hand-Sword: First Form to create a crescent-shaped flame. Benimaru uses his Iai-style of fighting in other ways too. | ||
