Enkoujin

Enkoujin (焔降刃) is the technique that Zero and Layer obtain after defeating Burn Rooster in Mega Man X8. It is a flaming straight downward plunging stab that tints the current weapon red, burning enemies on contact. This move cannot be aimed while performing as it hits straight downward.

Enkoukyaku
When Zero or Layer are equipped with the K Knuckle, Enkoujin becomes Enkoukyaku (焔降脚), a descending, fire-element diagonal kick that burns enemies upon contact.

Counterparts to this Technique

 * Melt Creeper
 * Flame Burner

Trivia

 * In Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Zero uses an unnamed flame kick similar to Enkoukyaku when fought by Vile in Vile Mode.
 * Both, the flame kick and the Enkoukyaku have the same pose as the move Tenmakujinkyaku (天魔空刃脚), a signature move of Akuma from the Street Fighter series.
 * Magma Dragoon from Mega Man X4 also performs the Enkoukyaku.
