Oni (Japanese: 鬼) are humans on Izumo who were transformed after drawing power from Takamagahara for prolonged periods of time in order to fight the Kami.[1]
Description[]
The planet Izumo gave rise to humans, who named the planet they lived on "Izumo" and its sister planet in the sky "Takamagahara." One day, a faction called the "Yaoyorozu no kami" or the "Yaoyorozu no Magakami" descended onto Izumo with the only goal of killing the humans. Fighting for their survival, the people of Izumo broke seventy-thousand-and-thirty-three warrior's blades and slew one of the Kami (named "Sovereign of Revelation"). They used its body to forge the very first Edict Edge.
The people of Izumo with these swords could recite the mantra contained within the blade to master the divine power of Takamagahara, and used these Edict Edges to fight back against the Kami. In continuing to resist the Kamigami, humanity eventually became oni. In one final attempt, the people of Izumo used the 12 Sentinels to craft two blades: "Origin", which was wielded by Acheron, and "End", which the remaining Oni-kind became a part of.
However, no matter what they tried, their battle was meaningless. Izumo and Takamagahara had slowly started to sink into the Shadow of IX and the planets were destroyed. The land once named Izumo became completely devoid of humans, Oni, and Kami.[1]
