Ryougen Homuraya (炎屋 燎原, Homuraya Ryōgen) is the banchou of the Koutou District. He is the Bakunetsu (Heat Burst) Banchou. He is a member of the Five Dark Vows. Due to him always being hot-blooded he is always yelling when he speaks, due to his weapon of choice he has quite a bit of heat resistance. He is a man that never backs down and can only 'explode' into battle, since backing down to him means defeat and those who are defeated aren't hot-blooded. To him hot-blooded means "To live life facing your goals with unwavering effort and bursting forward with fighting spirit" since many people in Japan look back, they are not hot-blooded to him and to him have no value. He admitted defeat when he backs away from Akira during their fight.

Homuraya is a hot-blooded and harsh man always yelling out what he says. He thinks that hot-blooded people can do anything and that not hot-blooded people should die. Despite that, he actually cares a lot for his teammates.

Escaping the stages
The Banchou Alliance goes to where the Five Dark Vows wanted to fight them.
The stage is an abandoned military base, where the challenge is a set of one-on-one fight for each of them and they will fight in different level of the base, each one with a surprise in them. After his teammates are all defeated, he is next and up against Akira. Set to battle in a volcanic stage, the fight is suspended when Haruya Kaburagi sent the alarm to destroy the place with explosives, just to get revenge on Yuu. The Banchou Alliance and the Five Dark Vows decides to do the battle another time and try to escape. When they get to the elevator, this was not working due to a power outage. Ryougen uses his body to reconnect the power with Akira's help. The elevator gets to work again, and everyone hops in, except Ryougen and Akira. The place crash down just when the elevator reaches the surface. Everyone believes that their friends died but then they both pop out of the crumbles, much to their ally's joy.
Ryougen and Akira agreed to continue the fight there. The rest were worried that they need help from the injury, but they said they want to to settle the fight. But then Kiriu sense something and then a missile came in and exploded where Ryougen and Akira were, but it turns out they were okay, and it turn out that this place is a the fuji live firing exercises.
Akira attacked Ryougen
The rest told them to get away, but Ryougen said he doesn't run away from anything and continued the fight. They start fighting each other but Ryougen was trying his hardest attack, but Akira doesn't feel much.

Ryougen seem to be winning but Akira used his lead hands and punched Ryougen in the stomach. Ryougen said it was nothing but then he started to cough blood. Akira told him what does hot-blooded means to him, and he told him hot-blooded means to live life facing your goals with unwavering effort and bursting forward with fighting spirit; since in his opinion many people in Japan they are not hot-blooded to him and have no value. Akira told him why he attacked his classmate and he said they were cold-blooded without knowing them first. Akira beat Ryougen and told him his logic is flawed but Ryougen withstand the attack and fight back.
Ryougen defeated

They tell him to stop fighting but Ryougen not listen. When he looks at Akira again, he looks like a giant monster and he was nothing but a little man, thinking he was getting smaller because he got his hot-blooded back, but it turns out he was backing away. Shocked to see that, Ryougen had no choice but to put a bomb inside of himself and to destroy Akira along with himself. Everyone tries to stop him, but he did it and said that he has no value anymore but still a Banchou. But Akira punch him in the stomach, getting the bomb and toss it into the sky and it explode. Ryougen was surprised by this. Kiriu tell him that it was because of his capacity to accept anyone even the weak.
