Agni

Agni is the titular protagonist of Fire Punch. He is a large, muscular young man with black hair and his entire body is on fire except for his mouth and the left side of his face. Agni possesses the blessing of Regeneration. His regeneration is extremely powerful, as he is able to regrow lost limbs instantly and even regenerate from being beheaded.

On his way home one day, he sees a plane flying towards the village. Investigating, he sees a large group of men rounding up the older members of the village at gunpoint. He intervenes, telling the men to leave the elders alone. Agni is approached by a man who introduces himself as Doma, stating they are searching for Blessed Ones to bring with them to the city of Behemdolg. Upon hearing one of the soldiers report that the village houses were filled with human meat and the villagers were in fact cannibals, Doma orders the soldiers to return to the plane before setting the village ablaze with his Fire Blessing. Agni is left burning, as his Blessing prevents him from dying, surrounded by charred corpses and burning buildings. Longing to die as he thinks of his family, a heavily burned Luna shuffles towards him. Just before her body is reduced to ash, she utters a single word: “Live”.
