The Cho-oni (超鬼 Chō Oni, lit. "Ultra Ogre") are a type of oni in the Shaman King manga and anime series.
About[]
Cho-Oni with various weapons and skin colors.
The Cho-Oni act as prison guards in Sanjiva, beating down and tormenting the souls of the dead. These oni are far stronger than the Oh-Oni and have the ability to shatter souls;[1] one was capable of crushing Asakura Yohken's soul with ease.[2] They employ a variety of weapons, including hammers, bows and arrows, iron clubs, and axes.[3]
Although not inherently pure evil, these oni serve as antagonists for the rehabilitation of the dead, with their brutality meant to force the dead to reflect on their lives and refine their souls.[1] As such, the oni appear rather sadistic and employ underhanded tactics.[3][4]
Anime/Manga Difference[]
Cho-Oni do not appear in the 2001 anime series.
