OVA
Description
Ongo, an ancient spirit embodying wood and destruction, was originally betrothed to the water spirit Rongo millennia ago. This engagement shattered when inherent evil awakened within him, triggering a destructive rampage across New Guinea. The flower spirit Mii intervened, sacrificing herself to imprison him within a statuette. Centuries later, in 2009, archaeologist Fuyuhiko Rokudo inadvertently transported this statuette to Japan as a gift for his daughter Natsumi, resulting in Ongo's accidental release.
Manifesting as a small, childlike pygmy upon release, Ongo displayed a mischievous and chaotic personality. His early actions included summoning a live whale in an urban area, flooding the city, and expressing a fondness for whale meat. His wood manipulation abilities allowed him to summon objects or creatures, often causing unintended chaos.
Ongo's character shifted dramatically when he encountered an artifact at a museum exhibition, resonating with a dark force that triggered his transformation into his original, malevolent "Destroyer" form. In this gigantic state, he unleashed devastating energy blasts from his mouth and hands, extended his claws into blades, and wilted plant life nearby. His rampage across Tokyo caused widespread destruction, culminating in a confrontation with Mii.
His relationship with Rongo remained complex. Initially failing to recognize her after his release, her presence and transformation into a childlike form eventually jogged his memory of their past engagement. Rongo's jealousy toward Natsumi, fueled by Ongo's proximity to her, created tension, though Ongo himself showed reluctance toward Rongo's affections.
Mii resolved his destructive phase by growing to giant size and subduing him through an act of comfort known as "Marshmallow Hell." This pacification allowed the earth spirit Ahem to destroy the evil within Ongo, restoring his non-destructive state. He reverted to his smaller form and continued living alongside Natsumi and Rongo.
Beyond the primary OVA, Ongo appears in supplementary media. His antics in drama CDs span transforming beef patties back into live cows, sneaking aboard a space shuttle with Rongo, and participating in adventures involving hot springs and encounters with aliens. These stories depict him retaining his wood-based magic and unpredictable, troublesome nature.
