Hellfire Flame

Speed is strength.

Hellfire Flame (業火のフレイム, Gōka no fureimu) is a ninja partner of Gale Wind who comes from the same 37th graduating class like Gale Wind. In the past, they joined the Monster Association to become stronger.

Appearance
Hellfire Flame is a tall man with a muscular build and styles his black hair in spikes with the tips bending down. His face is angular with thick eyebrows and has a black marking over his left eye.

Hellfire Flames attire consist of a sleeveless black shirt and pants, a white vest with spiky collar and flame design, black arm warmers and braces on his forearm and neck.

When he transforms into a monster, his teeth become sharp and he has pulsating veins. His hands also have sharp claws and his entire body is imbued with burning flames.

Personality
Hellfire Flame is shown to be calm and serious most of the time. He also seems to go along to what Gale Wind tells him. He holds a grudge on Flashy Flash for causing the 44th graduation class incident known as "The End”.

Monster Association Arc
Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind attack Speed-o'-Sound Sonic in a forest as a form of skinship and introduce themselves as Sonic's senior from their Ninja Village. After some discussing, Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame invite Sonic to join the Monster Association to further their goal to become rulers of the World. Gale Wind reveals their plan to attack the Hero Association, more specifically killing Flashy Flash and asks Sonic's help to distract the other heroes. When Sonic refuses, Gale Wind transforms into a monster and demonstrates his speed, shocking Sonic and explains the process of the transformation. They then offer a Monster Cell to Sonic and leave. He and Gale Wind are present at Gyoro Gyoro's speech. During Garou's appearance in the Monster Association meeting, Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind express their doubt about Garou's position as a potential executive member and replacement for Gouketsu and Elder Centipede. However, they immediately push aside that matter and focus on how to they can kill Flashy Flash. Furthermore, they also wonder why Sonic still have not join them and assume that he is not compatible to the Monster Cell.

Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind find Flashy Flash in the Monster Association base. They compliment him in his speed before they do battle. Eventually, they are both forced to reveal their monster forms after realizing they are outclassed in their human forms.

Abilities and Powers
As a graduated ninja of Sonic's village, he is shown to be an immensely powerful speedster like his partner, Gale Wind. Coming from the "Golden" 37th class of the village, he is no doubt an even greater ninja than Sonic and thus could qualify for the S-Class rank of the Hero Association if he had joined them instead. Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind displays excellent teamwork skills and cover for each other in battle.
