Appearance
Blazion is a fiery lion yokai with a white scar on his forehead. His mane and eyebrows are burning flame and his fur is orange. He has large hands and forearms with red spirals on them. He wears a grey-black martial artist robes. He is short (about half as tall as Nate) but his mane is about half his height.

Personality
Blazion is very bold and motivated in the anime. He firmly believes that hard work is something to be proud of, and it makes people feel better. He is very active as well. In the original Japanese, Blazion only says "Mera", which was replaced by animal-like exclamations (which can make him sound like a dog when Blazion is being very hot-blooded in a given scene) in the English dub, and during the fight with Noway, he says "Muri!/No way!."

It was revealed in Episode 97 that Blazion can talk normally while he was in his flameless form. Although this is true, he can speak a few words with his manes. So far, the only quotes he said were "No way!" and "We're sorry, so super sorry!"

Nate and Whisper
Blazion is one of Nate's usual choice whenever he needs a brave Yo-kai.

Roughraff
Blazion bumped into Roughraff and fought him. They beat each other up in a draw match. Roughraff liked how tough Blazion was and became his friend.

Powers and Abilities
Blazion has the power to make someone extremely motivated and passionate, especially about work. However, the people under his influence risk getting carried away and become oblivious to what other people's feelings, like when Blazion possessed Nate's Negatibuzz-possessed dentist, and Blazion can release fires.

In the English dub, Blazion is said to make others competitive.

Stats
NOTE: Remember that Blazion won't always end up having these stats at 99 due to attitude.
