Eventually the descended flames will be "swallowed" and added to the huge fireball that will trigger the second phase of the technique. The transcension between the two phases will temporarily weaken the resistance of the technique — giving opponents with water release the chance to stop the evolution — due to its sheer destructive power increasing tremendously. After its transformation is complete, it will steer up high to the sky and surround Hōsōshi, who will 'empower' it with his furiousity and blast it away in all directions. According to him, the flame is "endless" and will keep going until the "life" in it dies out — meaning that it must no longer be able to absorb "life".
