He is also much more likely to break conventions and rules than his counterpart. Often an Idiot Hero or in more mature pieces a Boisterous Bruiser. If a Half Red Oni is indeed noticeably intelligent, he will still be much more impetuous than the Half Blue Oni and or with less sophisticated thoughts, feelings, or goals. When a goal-oriented villain, the Half Red Oni will often be Ax Crazy and psychotically willing to sacrifice any innocent lives to accomplish his/her goals.
