Baoh (バオー来訪者Baō Raihōsha, Baoh: The Visitor) is a manga series and anime OVA created by Hirohiko Araki, most famous for his epic JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It is licensed in English by Viz Media.[1] The manga lasted only two collected volumes and was adapted into a single-episode original video animation.
Abilities[]
- Superhuman strength, agility, and speed
- Superhuman healing: The more a BAOH host body is injured, the quicker the parasite heals the host and initiates defensive measures. In the anime Ikuro has his throat slit and a knife embedded in his heart. Even with the knife still in his chest Ikuro's heart continues to beat and pushes the blade out of his chest.
- Corrosive enzymes: Hands produce a corrosive substance that melts through flesh & metal.
- Armor: Hosts produce organic metal over their skin that serves as a protective shell.
- Bio-blades: Hosts produce organic blades from various parts of the body (depending on type of host).
- Stingers: Organic needles that burst into flame on contact with flesh are projected from the host. In Ikuroo's case, from his hair.
- Dark thunder: A devastating electrical blast. Produces enough power to charge a large scale laser (As shown in the anime).
Weakness[]
- According to the parasite's creator the only means of destroying a BAOH (once inserted in a host) is to put a bullet through the brain of the host, and then to completely burn the body (thus killing the host and parasite).
- The only way to keep an implanted host dormant is to submerge them in salt water.
- After 111 days of non-dormancy, the parasite will reproduce and its larvae will leave the host, killing it.
