| Baoh (Manga) | comment |
Baoh, also known as Baoh: The Visitor, is a short manga series written and illustrated by none other than Hirohiko Araki, of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fame. It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1984 to 1985.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 Doress/Judas Organization. Ikuro is the host of the titular Baoh, a parasite that can transform him in a murderous killing machine.Was adapted into a 45-minute OVA created by Studio Pierrot and distributed by Toho in 1989, which is a fairly straight-forward adaptation (plus a LOT gorier than the manga) despite its cuts and deviations. Said OVA is also how most people in the West even know of Baoh’s existence and cemented it as a Cult Classic.Ikuro also appeared in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, as a DLC Guest Fighter. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The female scientist who lets Baoh escape at the beginning gets a bigger role in the OVA and is given a name, Sophine. In the manga, she's executed early on for her failure to stop Ikuro's escape. | |

Gratuitous English: Some of Baoh's special abilities have some really Word Salad titles (with "phenomenon" added on the end) to them, including "Reskinharden Saber Phenomenon" (arm blades), "Shooting Bees Stingers Phenomenon" (razor sharp hair fired as projectiles from one's head) and "Meltedin Palm Phenomenon" (corrosive acid from the hands.) | |

Adapted Out | |
| Baoh (Manga) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: In the manga, Baoh encounters a genetically engineered baboon named Martin and his evil trainer. What helps factors Baoh's Character Development 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 Mook Horror Show, 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. | |

Character Development | |
| Baoh (Manga) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: 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. | |

Incendiary Exponent/Flechette Storm: Its hair can turn into incendiary needles that it shoots. Shock and Awe: "Baoh: Break Dark Thunder Phenomenon!" | |

Made of Plasticine: Holy crap... For a series that ran on Weekly Shonen Jump, it's incredibly violent. Compare Fist of the North Star, where mooks die by their heads exploding or cut to pieces, Baoh kills enemies in rather brutal ways. Especially the OVA. Walken is no better either, having his fingers sliced off when he's previously caught Baoh's Bees Stinger Phenomenon attack with his left hand. | |

Lovecraftian Superpower: Baoh gives Ikuro a whole arsenal of these. His attacks are Meltedin Palm Phenomenonnote Ikuro secretes extremely power acid from him palms that can melt human flesh like butter on a skillet., Reskiniharden Saber Phenomenonnote 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., Shooting Bees-Stingers Phenomenonnote Ikuro launches hairs that burst into flame when heated by human bodies., and Break-Dark-Thunder Phenomenonnote 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 cannon with this ability. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Ikuro starts with little control of his Baoh instincts, causing him to become an Unskilled, but Strong fighter that struggles against Weak, but Skilled enemies. Once he gains control, he displays quick thinking on par with the Joestars, allowing him to escape several deathtraps and defeat a far stronger psychic. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Baoh (Manga) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The bad guys. On one hand, they have a dominant Baoh, who is compared to a nuclear bomb should he wake up. On the other hand, they have a girl with precognitive abilities who have attempted to escape multiple times. And they decide to put these two on a train together and hope nothing goes wrong... | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Baoh (Manga) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: The English manga release translates Doctor Kasuminome's name to "Hazyeye", a reasonable translation, as well as changing "Sumire" to "Violet" (A translation of the word "sumire.") and "Doress" to "Judas". The OVA's English dub keeps the names as "Kasuminome", "Sumire" and "Doress" however, and All Star Battle's English localisation retains "Sumire" and "Doress" as well. The OVA also has Sumire point out that her name does indeed mean "Violet." | |

Art Evolution | |
| Baoh (Manga) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: A downplayed example since this was a very short series and the art is very consistent from beginning to end, but the covers used◊ for the OVA◊, its soundtrack◊ and reprints of the manga◊ were all made by Araki himself, and since he made them when he was deep into making JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, all of them feature Baoh looking VERY different compared to the manga, essentially looking like a JoJo character from a different Part in each on them. | |
