History

Manga

Dog with flame fangs very briefly appeared in the Kitarō no Jigoku Meguri along with a dragon-like serpent (Daija) and birds of hell, one of them is similar to a Bake-Garasu. The dog was seen biting the deads with its fiery fangs.

Third Anime

It appeared in episode #39 Datsue-Babaa of Sanzu River as a trump card of Datsui-Babaa. It was controlled by Datsui-Babaa and attacked and tried to devour the Kitarō Family and others. As Kitarō knew that they won't survive against it, Medama-Oyaji asked Sunakake-Babaa to call a help to Enma-Daiō. But the dog was too agile to pass, and Neko-Musume went instead. Then an oni saved Neko-Musume at peril and gave her a needle and advised her to break Datsui-Babaa's temari handball named Banyū Jizai-Dama which she stole from Enma-Daiō. Seeing off Neko-Musume, the oni instead went to Enma-Daiō. Neko-Musume then managed to break the handball, making the antagonist powerless and the dog to flee. Then Enma-Daiō appeared and reincarnated Datsui-Babaa into the human world as a punishment.

Abilities

It is a powerful being that Kitarō instantly knew that he can't win against it. Datsui-Babaa can control it with Enma-Daiō's Banyū Jizai-Dama (万有自在玉, lit. "All thing controllable freely ball") and her song.

Fire breath: In the third anime, Jigoku no Banken breathed purple and yellow colored flames from its mouth.

Flame fangs: In the manga, the Dog with flame fangs are said to have flame fangs.

Fangs: In the third anime, Jigoku no Banken was able to shatter Konaki-Jijii in stone mode with a single bite.

Fighting capability: Sunakake-Babaa's hair machine-gun had little or no effect on it. It can dodge and grab Kitarō's Yōkai Ocarina's whip and throws Kitarō instead, and Kitarō's Chanchanko can't hold the dog for long.
