Why doesn't Hiei use his Jagan form anymore?

[CoolDude27]

I noticed that Hiei hasn't used his Jagan Eye form since his fight with Yusuke, why?

[CoolDude27]

I see you people don/t care.

[blackrose_r7]

I just reade this now. I think is because he dosent need it orit uses to much energy.(If he uses to much energy he cant summon the Dragon of the darkness flame.)
And maybe because he has better and stronger attacks.

[CoolDude27]

Maybe, but I always thought of it as Super Saiyan, the form gets stronger as you go along. By the way, thanks for posting!

[blackrose_r7]

You're welcome.

well the only reason why he had the jagan eye is because he used to search for his lost crystal or diamond and the city where he was born. Once he found that he didn't need it anymore.

I formulated my own theory on this based on the two appearances of Hiei's green-skinned form.

The first incidence in which he used that form, he was wielding the Conjuring Blade. As far as I can tell, the sword had some kind of psychological effect on him, making him somewhat more violent and irrational than usual.

The second incidence was the movie, "Bonds of Fire" (known in the USA as "Poltergeist Report"). A demon from the netherworld was attempting to bring Hiei's darker, more primal desires to the surface, and nearly succeeded.

I've concluded that, from Hiei's point of view, his green-skinned form represents a loss of self-control. Naturally, Hiei wouldn't like losing control of anything, much less himself; it would lower him to the level of an inferior creature. So he probably stays in the human-like form to prove that he can keep himself in check.

Padawan has a good point but then you have to look at why he got the jagan eye in the first place. the answer comes in the later episodes but it's basically the answer that i wrote before.

[CoolDude27]

I'm with Padawan with the whole self-control thing. He did start acting crazy in that form. But man he would be powerful if he transformed now!

Actually, I believe it is because of the vulnerability.

It isn't smart to fight using a form that has big honking eyes all over. The eyes are just begging to be stabbed.

[blackrose_r7]

Actually the one who takes dammage is the Jagan itself.

[Kai-Cloud]

i think it's because he doesn't need it, he got stronger.

[Kamiga-sama]

1. I guess he doesn't really need to use it.

2. It's weird seeing Hiei w/ 30+ eyes on his skin.

3. His jagan may be strong enough on it's own w/o having him to transform into anything.

4. Green skin + Hiei = Mismatch, but that's just MY opinion!

or . . .

The director just wanted to keep it simple afterwards so they scratched out the Green Hiei idea. That COULD be a possibility ya know?

[blackrose_r7]

I think choice 1 and 5 are some of the main reasons.

[moonscar291]

that pretty much covers it

[DJ*Chi]

...hmmm that form was just plain wierd.
