This boss was such a fitting end to the franchise, for me anyway. Me and my friends in early elementary would always give Kaos shit for being bald lmao.
I love, LOVE the concept of Oni so much. Not only because it’s badass, but because it proves there’s still some shred left of humanity inside our Akuma, even though it may be buried deep within him.
I hope we get Oni back soon. Whether it be playable or some crazy powerful secret boss, or hell, even the main villain of 7. I need to see a canonical faceoff of him and Evil Ryu. It would genuinely be otherworldly.
Considering that Evil Ryu is gone, we’re unlikely to get that. Oni is also not too likely for this game because of World Tour stuff. That’s unless they pull a Kage.
I mean in the OVA he goes full monke mode and starts overpowering star platinum with his own brute strength, barely even using the world to overpower jotaro.

Ki Form from Pathfinder (second edition). A level 18 Monk feat.
[https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=738](https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=738)
"Drawing from deep wells of spiritual power, you take on a special ki form. In your ki form, your hair, feathers, skin, or scales change color and begin to glow. In this form you gain a fly Speed equal to your land Speed."
- Your body glows as bright as a torch and burns anyone who remains close
- Your fists deal extra damage based on law, holy or unholy energy
- You can create Solar Flares on command
- You are very emotional and vulnerable to emotion magic (but resist all other forms of mental magic)

I love, LOVE the concept of Oni so much. Not only because it’s badass, but because it proves there’s still some shred left of humanity inside our Akuma, even though it may be buried deep within him.
Makes it even better that the playable version of Oni is weaker because Akuma is holding him back due to Oni going against his morals.
I hope we get Oni back soon. Whether it be playable or some crazy powerful secret boss, or hell, even the main villain of 7. I need to see a canonical faceoff of him and Evil Ryu. It would genuinely be otherworldly.

He got the fire outline effect and everything
that's a common thing in jojo when a character has their stand out or it's ability active, not unique to dio
Tbh dio at his most high didn’t change much, he still just slowly stopped time for longer
I mean in the OVA he goes full monke mode and starts overpowering star platinum with his own brute strength, barely even using the world to overpower jotaro.

And paid the price.
Fun Fact: In Yang's OG Theme (I Burn), the lyrics even say that she's world-class AND super saiyan

Nah they give very different vibes and entirely different looks. That's like saying every power up/transformation is totally not super saiyan
Hair changes color, spikes up and has a colorful aura around the user. This is 100% an homage
while gear 5 was probably inspirited by super saiyan since oda looked up to toriyama, its kinda a stretch to say dragon ball invented those two things
