Oni are a species in Zenless Zone Zero.

Description

Biology

Oni are a race of humanoids with demonic traits. They have red, blue, or yellow skin, pointed ears, demonic tails, fangs, black-tipped horns extruding from their foreheads, and white hair. The lifespan of an Oni seems to be much longer than that of an average human, but with a slower maturity speed. The Oni's liver has stronger detox functions than an ordinary human or Thiren, allowing them to eat more without the concern of adverse effects.[1]

History

Unlike Thirens and Intelligent Constructs, they were not among the races listed for New Eridu citizenship.[2] It appears that a group of rebel Oni fought the New Eridu Defense Force to try to gain citizenship a few years ago, although they were unsuccessful: both sides suffered heavy losses, especially among Oni fighters. Tsukishiro Yanagi, the one responsible for the last leader's death, gained the trust of the latter and was infused with her Oni blood, which artificially turns her into a hybrid with newly improved strength and thus inherited the role as a new Oni leader.[3]

Though it is unclear what is the current status of the Oni species in New Eridu after Yanagi's takeover as the Oni guardian, it is known that the young Oni Soukaku was able to join H.A.N.D., becoming one of the city's protectors and amassing a fanbase in the process.[1]
