Onryo (Japanese: 怨霊 Onryou) are a ghostly species introduced in the Y School Heroes series, notably the 6th movie and the TV series.
Overview[]
Onryo are spirit-like entities who take the role of causing mischief in daily life from normal Yo-kai. Most of them are involved in mysteries, and a select few can induce the transformation sequence of a Yo-kai Hero by being nearby.
A recurring plot element is them entering a second form, usually via Haruhiko Usmizawa's hair and special breath or Nayu Kuruhoshi's abilities, and announcing which body parts change as they do so. They are summoned via silver-framed Y Medals reminiscent of the original medals. They're born much like Yo-kai, but are unstable, ascending when their purposes are fulfilled. Yo-kai are described as stable Onryo with identities by Goromi.

Origin[]
Onryo is based on the same subgenre of Yo-kai by the same name. In Japanese traditional beliefs and literature, Onryō (怨霊, literally "vengeful spirit", sometimes rendered "wrathful spirit") refers to a ghost (Yūrei, Japanese term for ghost) believed to be capable of causing harm in the world of the living, injuring or killing enemies, or even causing natural disasters to exact vengeance to redress the wrongs it received while alive, then taking their spirits from their dying bodies.
