Flare Raid (曼珠沙華 Manjushage?, "Red Spider Lily") is a Fire-elemental strike arte associated with Ninjas in the Tales series.
Arte Description and History[]
The user throws a flaming shuriken at the enemy. It began as one of Suzu Fujibayashi's few artes where she throws three shurikens covered in fire and continues to be associated with ninjas, first with the Ninja class in Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2, and then with Kuchinawa in Tales of Symphonia. With Kuchinawa, the arte does not appear with a name, as most artes do, but he clearly says "Manjushage" in both the Japanese and English version of the game when he throws a shuriken covered in fire. The tool needed to use this arte in Tales of VS. is the Nintou Chizakura, which is a reference to Suzu. However, the Game Boy Advance version of Tales of Phantasia, via a programming error, uses the voice clip for Omega Storm whenever Suzu uses this arte.
In both language files of Tales of Symphonia, there are unused voice clips of this arte used by Sheena Fujibayashi, localized as Flare Blitz. However, she does not have access to this arte in any final version of the game.
