History Manga / Baoh

* HollywoodAcid: One of Baoh's attacks

''Baoh'', also known as ''Baoh: The Visitor'', is a short manga series written and illustrated by none other than Creator/HirohikoAraki, of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' fame. The story details the adventures of Ikuro Hashizawa and Sumire, a boy and a young girl escaping from the evil secret organization that experimented on them: the [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Doress/Judas]] Organization. Ikuro is the host of the titular Baoh, a parasite that can transform him in a murderous killing machine.

Ikuro also appeared in ''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle]]'', as a DLC GuestFighter.

* AcidPool: They try to kill Baoh with one of these, adding a group of acid-proof [[GiantSpider Giant Spiders]] for good measure. [[spoiler:Ikuro saves himself by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard using one of the spiders as a protective coat]]]].

* CallingYourAttacks: Averted with Ikuro who doesn't speak when in his Baoh Armed Phenomenon form, so all his powers are named in info boxes (subtitles in the OVA).

* CharacterDevelopment: Surprisingly, the Baoh parasite itself. Despite being a threat if it reproduces, as it latched on Ikuro's brain, Baoh has saved Sumire while taking out anyone being a threat to Sumire and Ikuro. The manga helps as Baoh managed to avoid killing the old man under hypnotic suggestion thanks to his wife and Sumire's pleading. Dio help you in another universe if you attack an innocent person.

** AdaptedOut: In the manga, Baoh encounters a genetically engineered baboon named Martin and his evil trainer. What helps factors Baoh's CharacterDevelopment was that Martin killed a woman and her son, which made him so angry, he manages to kill Martin. The OVA omits this battle after the MookHorrorShow, and Sumire is kidnapped by Dorudo. An old couple that took in Ikuro and Sumire don't appear either but the ending implies she did get adopted.

* LovecraftianSuperpower: Baoh gives Ikuro a whole arsenal of these. His attacks are Meltedin Palm Phenomenon[[note]]Ikuro secretes extremely power acid from him palms that can melt human flesh like butter on a skillet.[[/note]], Reskiniharden Saber Phenomenon[[note]]Ikuro's skin extends and hardens into a pair of blades that he can detach and throw. Kars from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has a similar ability.[[/note]], Shooting Bees-Stingers Phenomenon[[note]]Ikuro launches hairs that burst into flame when heated by human bodies.[[/note]], and Break-Dark-Thunder Phenomenon[[note]]Ikuro creates thousands of volts in his body similar to an electric eel. By jamming a piece of metal into his arm, Ikuro can power a energy canon with this ability.[[/note]]

** FrickinLaserBeams: A laser beam can burn a Baoh ''and'', if it hits the brain, can force the parasite out of the doomed body or outright kill it.
*** [[spoiler: Ikuro!Baoh powers one with his own electrical energy to finally kill Walken]].

* CurbStmpBattle: In the OVA, almost nobody can really take Baoh on in a fight, being quickly cut down or killed. The only one to avoid this is Walken, who manages to have a go at Baoh twice.

** BladeBelowTheShoulder: they were actually the inspiration for [[JojosBizarreAdventure Kars's own power]]. Though they are no organic chainsaws, Baoh can ''throw'' them like a boomerang.
