Somebody and I mean somebody's going to try to pull off a EX Hadoken and get someone hurt trying it or doing something naruto related like the phoenix flower jutsu overall it seems like it be a good illusionists' trick but in the wrong hands it's certainly a destructive device on the other hand the anime and game head inside of me is giggling like a kid at the possibilities of doing such a feat and scaring the holy ghost out of somebody

Wondering how many reports of Avatar and Legend of korra cosplayers going to the hospital will come from this.

It looks cool, and in the right place and the right time would be pretty nifty, but the phrase "accident waiting to happen" springs to mind here.

Think of all the possibilities! Cosplaying as Roy Mustang, Natsu Dragneel, Sailor Mars, etc, plus pulling out stunt like Hadouken or any great balls of fire, and the chance to set your house in fire! You can get it all only for $174! Grab it now and you might get the chance to have third-degree burns on your very body.

That said, it's pretty cool if someone really use it for cosplay purpose. Other than that, this is basically like mini-version of flame thrower. Still too dangerous to sell this in public imho.

I think nitrocellulose is one of the things airport dogs can detect, so this is a prop that will not travel well even in checked baggage. Unless you like having your travel plans severely delayed by lengthy visits to a featureless interview room. Anyway, this gag was old when Houdini was just starting out. This company has just found a new way to capitalize it.

Now doing Naruto Fireball Jutsu movies is even more outrageous and realistic.

That scar on his left arm is really selling me on this thing!
