Cremation is the unnamed Quirk possessed by Dabi.
Description

Dabi unleashing a long-ranged wave of fire.
Like Hellflame, Dabi's Quirk grants him pyrokinetic abilities. Dabi's flames are blue in color, and he's capable of generating them at will.
The user can ignite blue fire anywhere on their body with minimal effort or movement almost instantaneously. They can also combust anything they touch almost instantly, including robust minerals and living creatures alike. For example, by touching a single tree in The Beast's Forest, Dabi was able to set the majority of the forest ablaze, trapping everyone there in a ring of fire.[1]
The flames of this Quirk are extremely hot,[2] burning at a temperature of at least 2,000°C (3,632°F),[3] which is higher than that of lava and normal fire, signified by its blue coloration. Dabi's flames were hot enough to burn an entire group of villains into ash in mere seconds.[4] They're also quite bright, making them effective against Dark Shadow.[5]
His flames are powered by his emotions, so the greater his emotions, the hotter his flames are.[6]
Weaknesses
The major drawback of Dabi's ability is that his body can't handle the heat due to inheriting his mother's genes which grant resistance to freezing temperatures instead of scorching flames.[7] Overusing his flames will cause his skin to swell, sizzle, and slowly burn over time. This prevents Dabi from fighting prolonged battles.[8] As stated by Dabi upon overusing his Quirk, prolonged usage of it causes him to lose sensation in his body and possibly completely render himself numb. Losing control of his emotions will cause his flames to run wild or ignite hotter than his body can handle.[6]
Usage

Dabi unleashing a burst of blue fire.
Dabi primarily uses his Quirk to fight from a distance and burn his enemies using fireballs and flamethrowers. He can also release a short burst of flames for roasting his targets at close range.[9] Dabi often relies on the brute force of his powerful Quirk to overwhelm his enemies. His fire blasts are powerful enough to collapse building walls[10] and were enough to completely repel Snatch's Quirk.[11]
Dabi also uses his Quirk tactically, creating walls of fire to trap his targets within a fixed area or to propel himself in midair through the soles of his feet.[12][5] This Quirk also combos well with Compress, as anyone compressed along with some of Dabi's flames will burn to death.[11]
Because Dabi's flames tend to weaken his body with prolonged use, he is unable to release successive attacks for long. To counter this, he will often engage in rattling the enemy in order to buy himself some cooldown time. Additionally, Dabi has learned to take some heat off his attacks in order to reserve more power for himself for critical situations.[5]
Super Moves

Flashfire Fist (赫灼熱拳, Kaku Shakunekken?): Endeavor's signature technique, later passed down to Dabi himself. Dabi raises his fire's temperature to its highest level and maximizes his power. Doing so, Dabi can unleash devastating flame attacks or increase his speed dramatically.[3] |
Flashfire Fist - Jet Burn (赫灼熱拳 ジェットバーン, Kaku Shakunetsu-ken Jettobān?): Like his father, Dabi unleashes a powerful blast of fire at the enemy, although unlike him, Dabi only shoots his fire rather than punching toward his opponent. This was first seen used against his youngest brother Shoto.[13] | ![]() |

Prominence Burn (プロミネンスバーン, Purominensu Bān?): This attack allows Dabi to launch a massive, concentrated beam of fire from his entire body that is able to vaporize his target.[14] Dabi nearly used this move at full power against Endeavor but was intercepted by the sudden arrival of Best Jeanist on the battlefield.[3] |
Trivia
- Although unofficial, "Cremation" is a popularly speculated name. It is drawn from Dabi's name, which is translated directly as "cremation".
- Cremation's flames used to be red, they turned blue when Dabi's body started to develop.[6]
