Cozzakill, I am American. Onimaru means (Ogre)Demon King.
The Japanese don't have a word that equals Demon. Demon comes from the Greek word 'D(ae)mon' meaning enlightened spirit. The Catholic church labeled all things pagan as evil so d(ae)mons become the monstrous denizens of hell that come to here to corrupt people. Over time the (ae) character was converted to being an 'e' and the connotation of it being a monster was made permanent.
The Japanese describe 'Oni' as an Ogre, a real monster that lives on earth. However, they are also revered as magical beings. This magical origin is the reason Western Culture made Oni synonymous with Demon. Even in anime they translate it to demon.
I do not speak any other languages than English. I do, however, have a powerful need to learn and research things and I am willing to cite my references upon request. If you ask super nice I will even do so in any English standard format. (APA, MLA, etc.)
Thank you for asking

Well, you guys sure spammed and derailed this thread alright.
Anyway... on the topic of phones...
I give my number to pretty much everyone online, I have a black belt in taekwondo, and various other martial arts related training; not like I'm afraid of some weak ass pedophiles. But I only give my number irl to those who are worthy, too many peons around these days... I haven't even seen anyone in this state who possess my intellect, charm, and just plain awesomeness in so long.
My life is hard guys.

Alright. In some games I have seen, an Oni may translate to something else. On wizard101 (my little bro plays it) an Oni is an elephant, whereas on Kongai (Kongregate's CCG) Onimaru is this experienced ninja character. Obviously the makers aren't Japanese.

Haha, same. I think I use my ability for evil rather than good. I keep hurting my friends unintentionally.

I don't check the forums or go in-game anymore, I have quit.

No combat training will help you from randomly getting shot by a bullet.
