Like for the English Oni, there are fifteen TSFT font files (normal, bold and italic variants in 7pt, 9pt, 10pt, 12pt and 14pt sizes). Each of them has a slightly larger pixel data array: there are no extended ASCII glyphs (96 of those), but the 154 kana more than make up for them, so the pixel data of the TSFTs ends up taking more than for English Oni, by 230,560 B overall. | Like for the English Oni, there are fifteen TSFT font files (normal, bold and italic variants in 7pt, 9pt, 10pt, 12pt and 14pt sizes).

If the case of Japanese Oni, there are extra sounds (alternative takes and copies from other Oni versions, see [[#Alternative takes|BELOW]]) in level1_Final, level10_Final, and any level that features Ninja or "ninjabots". There are also variations in the sharing of ONCP files (unnamed) between ONCCs (named). After removing the superfluous SNDDs and repacking with optimized ONCP sharing, the level .dat files have the same size as for English Oni (repacked as well). | ||

It is a somewhat tedious process, involving OniBrowser, hex viewing, and lots of <strike>masochism</strike>patience. | ||

==AKEV differences== | |||
Somewhat surprisingly, four levels in the Japanese version of Oni have slight differences in their AKEV files (level environment). | |||
The | The differences are limited to one or two UV coordinates in the AKEV's TXCA. Moreover, those UVs are practically zero (0,0) with or without the diff. | ||
The reason for these diffs is anyone's guess. If it's memory corruption, then why does it affect just a couple of bytes in AKEV TXCA and nothing else? | |||

Most of the differences amount to the addition of either 0x00210000 or 0x00000210 to a float, which ''does'' look like memory corruption. | |||

===Alternative takes=== | |||
All of the below are orphan SNDDs left over from the localization process, not referenced in OSBD and therefore not playable from Oni. | |||
====English==== | |||
In EnvWarehouse (level 1_Final) there are backups of three English Oni sounds, not referenced in OSBD: | |||
*SNDDoriginal_c01_01_01griffin.aif (a copy of the English c01_01_01griffin) | |||
*SNDDbbb_c01_01_01griffin.aif (another copy of the English c01_01_01griffin) | |||
*SNDDoriginal_c01_01_05griffin.aif (a copy of the English c01_01_05griffin) | |||
====German==== | |||
In power_II (level10_Final), there is a copy of the German '''SNDDc09_31_25shinatama .aif''' ("Detonazion in 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12..."), stored as '''SNDDc09_31_25shinatama.aif''' (without a space) and not referenced in OSBD. Unlike Griffin's lines above | |||
====Japanese==== | |||
'''SNDDc00_01_29shinatama.aif''' occurs both in level 0 and level 1 of Japanese Oni, as two takes with slightly different intonations (the English counterpart, "Hi Konoko! It's me, Shinatama.", is exactly the same in level 0 and level 1). | |||
In all the levels with Ninja sounds, i.e., featuting either Ninja or "ninjabots" (that is, level#_Final, with #=1,10-13,19), there are five SNDDnin_hrt_md#.aif files (#=1-5), different from the actually referenced "SNDDnin_ hrt_md#.aif" (with a space). Unlike the final versions, the original Ninja sounds or those of other localizations, the orphan SNDDnin_hrt_md#.aif are plain-sounding male voices (with no FX applied), and the voice acting seems similar to other male voices in the Japanese version. Therefore it is likely that these are Japanese placeholders and not copies from another language version. | |||
Likewise, in level11_Final (state) and level12_Final (roof), there are five SNDDsnin_hrt_md#.aif files (#=1-5), different from the actually referenced "SNDDsnin_ hrt_md#.aif" (with a space). Unlike for the SNDDnin_hrt_md#.aif, the SNDDsnin_hrt_md#.aif do have some FX and are consistent with Mukade's other pain sounds, so it looks like they are legitimate alternative takes that were discarded. | |||
==Other sounds== | |||
===Longer city ambients=== | |||

Thus, of all the "city ambient" loops, only '''city_amb_t06a''' uses the same sound data as in English Oni. | Thus, of all the "city ambient" loops, only '''city_amb_t06a''' uses the same sound data as in English Oni. | ||
These loner durations are consistent across levels, the occurrence being as follows: | |||

*'''city_amb_t06*''' occur in level8_final (tctf), level11_final (state) and level18_final (tctf_II) | |||
*'''city_amb_t07*''' occur in level2_final (manplant) and level6_final (Airport_III) | |||
