Onion Knight

Onion Knight (Japanese:オニオン ナイト (Onion Naito)) is a Rank A Yo-kai of the Charming Tribe.

Biology
The Onion Knight's outfit is taken from aspects of all incarnations of the Final Fantasy III hero. The color scheme in his default appearance is based on his original NES appearance, while the helmet is based on the PlayStation Portable version. The body armor is closer to Yoshitaka Amano artwork of the Unnamed Warrior for the NES release of the game. His two swords are also based on this artwork. Tetsuya Nomura has noted that, similar to Garland, he struggled designing the Onion Knight as he only had in-game sprites to draw from. His initial designs were "too cartoony" compared to the other heroes, and he was redesigned to match the cover image of Final Fantasy III. Shortly after, the promotional images Yoshitaka Amano had been designing were finished, and Nomura reverted to a more "cartoony" design to match Amano's work.

Personality
The Onion Knight appears to be very intelligent and analytical, usually finding solutions to his problems through logic. He thinks more like an adult and dislikes those who treat him like a child, and is shown to be strong-willed, shown when he stands up against the Cloud of Darkness after she offered him to join Chaos. He is also shown to be very protective of Terra, looking after her like a big brother. In reality, however, he is rather unsure of himself, usually using his head to get out of situations regarding him. When Cosmos and Golbez tell the Onion Knight to listen to his heart, he realizes that he doesn't need to use his head to do everything for him.

Trivia

 * The Onion Knight is called by his title by the Cloud of Darkness and Vaan, though the latter only calls him "Onion".
