Shakugan no Shana Episode 02: Burning Flame

    The second episode continues off with Yuuji talking with the Flame Haze who saved him. The girl says that he is a torch and he will burn out eventually and his existence will disappear. They walk along and then they talk about the "Fuzetsu" in more detail. It is a dimension within a confined space which temporally gets dislocated from the world's flow. After...the girl points out a boy with a small flame left in him. The boy begins to disappear and the boy's friends didn't even notice that he disappeared. Allastor, the pendent which the Flame Haze carries says that a torch will gradually decrease its existence and by the time it disappears the effect on the balance of the world is minimized. He also uses and example to describe what would happen if something just instantly disappeared. "If the bank you're walking on disappeared, you'd fall and receive a shock. However, if we change the ground to ice and gradually melt it, the shock would practically vanish." Therefore no harm will come to the other people around that existence.






    Later on the girl gets a couple melon bread to eat and they begin walking along a bridge. Yuuji then approaches the girl and asks who she is. She replies that she is a Flame Haze, one who finds and hunts Guze no Tomogara, Master of the Rinne. The scene then changes to the doll that was in the fight and an unknown character who appears to be the master of the Rinne. In all reality...I think that guy is a messed up villain who plays with dolls.




    Next day comes and the Flame Haze tells Yuuji that she would be keeping an eye on him rather than looking for Guze no Tomogara because he is a unique Torch. Then they begin discussing why Yuuji was called a mystes and it is described as a Torch that carries Hougu and other powers made by Guze no Tomogara. Basically, the Hougu is a treasure chest with special powers that moves.



    Yuuji goes to school and tries to get Hirai noticed like in the movie but it is left in an uter failure. Yuuji, his friend Ike, and Hirai go to lunch, music store, and arcade, but she only shows little emotion until she runs off on her own. Yuuji goes to look for her and finds her sitting on a set of stairs gazing at the view. Then she begins to disappear and Yuuji realizes that it's pointless to try to get a torch back to normal. All existence of the person is erased and the remainder of the torch will burn out. Yuuji approaches the Flame Haze and asks her name and she says that when different Flame Hazes need to be distinguished they call her "Neitono no Shana", the sword which she carries. And from that point on, Yuuji begins calling her Shana.
