*100-103 in level18_Final (Zombie Shinatama's vocalizations)

*106-108, 113-115 and 117 in level2_Final (Deadly Brain fight)

:The "c00_01_##"s are Shinatama's "solo" lines that do not fit into a dialogue sequence and are more like unilateral prompts that Konoko receives via her comlink. For everything else, including most of zombie Shinatama's monologue, see {{SectionLink||Scripted dialogue}}.

There are [[seven]] recurrent types of "vocalization" in Oni:

*'''taunt''' a.k.a. c17_99_## ("Now I strike!", "You're going down!", "Show me what you got!", etc.)

Some characters (Griffin, Shinatama, female cops), have no vocalizations at all (besides the pain sounds).

|bgcolor=lime|&nbsp;1||||bgcolor=lime|&nbsp;2||Available in level0. Has unused/extra sounds.<ref group="voc">Besides the main taunt, "You're weak!" (c17_99_18comguy), Comguys use '''doug_blast_comguy''' as an Easter egg (rare variant).</ref><ref group="voc">Comguys have two "super" vocalizations, "Static Fist!" and "Radio Saber!", neither of which are used in the final Oni. (This possibly indicates that Comguys were initially planned as [[Kojiro|more nimble/vicious fighters]] but were toned down to ease the learning curve.)</ref>

|bgcolor=lime|&nbsp;1||||||||||||||Has potential extra sounds.<ref group="voc">In Vanilla Oni, Muro is not set up with any vocalizations besides the "Maybe I should start trying." taunt, but has a notable maniacal laugh (muro_laff2) in level9. Muro's "super" moves are punctuated by special whooshing sounds with no vocalization.</ref>

:Griffin, Shinatama and female cops have no vocalizations at all (other than pain sounds).

:voiced by unidentified woman (used by female cops)

:When Konoko wakes up after a vivid nightmare in Chapter 11, her startled gasp (set up through OSBDkonoko_wakeup) is in fact an appropriately picked pain sound ('''konoko_hrt_md2'''), rather than a custom voice line recorded for the scene. This was easily overlooked by localization teams who recorded Konoko's pain vocalizations in a somewhat generic way, possibly ending up with a not-too-fitting "wakeup grunt".

:"Ninjabots" are bundled with the full set of Ninja pain sounds, but use only a few of them (the ones that sound least human). This was easily overlooked by localization teams who recorded Ninja pain vocalizations in a somewhat generic way, possibly ending up with ninjabots that sound too human.

:Some character classes have no pain sounds of their own and use those of other characters (e.g. Thugs using Striker pain sounds). This sounds more or less OK in Oni, where care was taken to have the two characters voiced by the same or a similar voice actor, but localization teams overlooked this, ending up with characters whose pain sounds are vastly different from their spoken vocalizations. Additionally, many localization teams didn't bother with pain sounds at all and only translated dialogue, so the same problem can occur for any character when you hear their localized dialogue and un-replaced pain sounds in close succession.

There is a pool of generic NPC vocalizations used for conversation start as well as for interruptions (due to enemy attack or the player moving away) and to announce various gifts in short and non-story-specific ways ("Here, have a hypo!"). Those generic lines can be used not just by ordinary civilians but by scientists and Thugs (serving as warehouse workers or engineers). More elaborate NPC interactions (with or without gifts) containing level-specific dialogue are detailed under {{SectionLink||Secondary scenes}}.

Generic interaction (with no gifts) come in 3 groups:

'''SNDDconsole_locked.aif''' is played whenever you try to access a locked console: "Access Denied" said in a robotic female voice. This line is typically translated by localization teams.

 

:Shinatama's prompts throughout Training and Trial Run (training course prompts, but also health, compass, hypos, alarm, civilians, and the stop-the-truck objective).

:Warehouse intro conversation.

:Warehouse outro conversation.

:Musashi Manufacturing intro (1st lobby cut).

:Musashi Manufacturing intro (bad guys and 2nd lobby cut).

:Musashi Manufacturing outro conversation.

:The surveillance tower scene (the Mad Bomber's finest hour).

:Mukade saying he has the disc.

:Konoko monologuing as she inserts the disc.

:Preamble to the fight with Griffin & co.

:Boss fight (confrontation with Griffin, Zombie Shinatama's status updates).

:Konoko hijacking an armored truck to ram some blast doors.

:Konoko commenting on her findings about Sturmanderung.

:Chat with victim scientists (broken/unused).

:Konoko getting a laser torch from an engineer.

:Slightly longer conversation with a female cop.

:A broken gift line ("You may need this") without a matching OSBD.

:An unused line ("Oh, thank god you're here.").

:Konoko saves a security guard who then helps her get across a power line.

:Konoko chats with a scientist about the ACCs being modified.

:A female cop at the first elevator.

:White-coated lady who apologizes for luring Konoko into a trap.

:Duplicated in level0_Final and level1_Final.

:Found (through OSBDcivfem_gift_weapon) in some generic NEUTs that are available in all levels.

:Originally from a conversation with an engineer in {{C|7}} (two conversations, actually), it is also used for a female cop in {{C|6}}.

Sounds that are referenced either in OSBD or hinted at through subtitles, but cannot be found in Vanilla Oni. For example, there once was a Striker saying "Huh?" somewhere in {{C|8}}, and in the same chapter Griffin said "I knew it was only a matter of time. It's over.".

 

:c18_71_07red ("She's a masochist!", Fury) and c18_71_24madbomb ("He's a masochist!", Mad Bomber)

:c03_12_01konoko – something Konoko was supposed to say after "securing the foyer" in {{C|3}}.

 

All of Oni's [[Quotes/Speech|subtitles]] (transcriptions of spoken lines) are found in [[SUBT]]subtitles, located in level0_Final. The vast majority of speech lines have corresponding subtitles and vice versa. Exceptions are detailed below.

Here are a few examples of speech lines that do ''not'' have subtitles (those these exceptions have exceptions of their own in the [[PS2 Oni|PlayStation 2]] version, which adds in some of the missing subtitles).

*"Konoko: Why! Why are you doing this! Stop it! Stop!" (09_31_20, probably meant for the Shinatama farewell scene in {{C|8}})

*"Striker:  Huh?" (08_29_31, fits into the numbering of minor NPC encounters of {{C|8}}, but was perhaps just a misplaced vocalization)

*"Security Guard: No you fool! We're not secured for atmosphere..." (09_32_02, apparently from an early version of the {{C|8}} outro; [[Atmospheric Conversion Center#Location in relation to cities|intriguing...]])

*"Griffin:  I knew it was only a matter of time. It's over." (09_33_08, apparently an early variant for the {{C|8}} outro, in which Konoko's rogue status wouldn't have been stated until the next chapter)

*"Konoko: What are you doing?" (13_65_06, fits into the conversation with Kerr in the scanner room, but probably deemed unnecessary)

*"Kerr: (while jumping in front of Konoko to take bullet) Wait! Noooo......" (13_65_40, from the end of the scanner room conversation, probably removed for being cliché)

*Konoko's [[Outro|outro speech]] (removed from the game data, so it can only be heard in the anime sequence)
