Does Hiiragi Turn into an Oni in My Oni Girl?
Yes, Hiiragi turned into an Oni in My Oni Girl, but it was only temporary. He was able to turn back into his original human self after Tsumugi reunited with her missing mother on Oni Island, and the coast was clear of the snow gods that tried to devour all the Oni.
Interestingly, Hiiragi grew a horn on his head, similar to Tsumugi, who also has a single horn.
He also looked like the other oni in the film, but the chief oni, Gozen, immediately realized that his horn was only minutes or hours old.
Why Did Hiiragi Turn into an Oni in My Oni Girl?
According to Tsumugi, humans who can see and communicate with oni will eventually become oni.
She also disclosed that individuals who keep their true sentiments to themselves produce mini-onis in their bodies, which lead to their transformation.
Hiiragi fulfilled two of the prerequisites to become an oni in the anime film by seeing Tsumugi and her horn and having mini-onis emerge from his body as an outcome of his bottled-up emotions.
It wasn't long before Hiiragi developed a horn on his head, which led to his adventures in the hidden world of Oni.
