  +
The '''Onion Knight''' is a recurring character in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. He first appeared in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' as a representative of ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'', based on the [[Onion Knight (Final Fantasy III)|Onion Knights]] of the original NES release of the game. Since then he has made many other appearances in spin-off titles as a representative of ''Final Fantasy III''.
−
{{Q|A youth bearing the title of Onion Knight. Intelligent and mischievous, he unquestionably believes there's nothing he can't do.|''Dissidia Final Fantasy'' description.}}
  
−
The '''Onion Knight''' is one of the heroes fighting for the side of [[Cosmos (Dissidia)|Cosmos]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' and ''[[Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]]''. He also appears in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy NT]]'' and its arcade version. He makes up for his size with speed and is a master of sword arts and magic. As the youngest warrior, the Onion Knight's lack of battle experience makes him put on a brave and confident front, when in reality, he is rather scared and unsure of his abilities. The villains he encounters, including his nemesis, the [[Cloud of Darkness/Dissidia|Cloud of Darkness]], serve to test his courage and power.

===Appearance===
  
===Appearance===
  +
The Onion Knight was designed by [[Tetsuya Nomura]] and draws elements from multiple sources within ''Final Fantasy III''. He is mostly based on the sprites for the original NES Onion Knight class, with body armor based on various [[Final Fantasy III concept art|concept art]] by [[Yoshitaka Amano]] for an "unnamed warrior" for ''Final Fantasy III''.
−
====''Dissidia Final Fantasy'' and ''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy''====
  
−
[[File:OKAltOutfits.PNG|190px|left|Onion Knight's alternate outfits.]]
  
−
The Onion Knight's outfit is taken from aspects of all incarnations of the ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'' hero. The color scheme in his default appearance is based on his original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] appearance, while the helmet is based on the [[PlayStation Portable]] version. The body armor is closer to [[Yoshitaka Amano]] artwork of the {{foot|Unnamed Warrior|[[File:Amano Warrior II.jpg|250x250px]]}} for the NES release of the game. His two swords are also based on this artwork. [[Tetsuya Nomura]] has noted that, similar to [[Garland (Final Fantasy)|Garland]], he struggled designing the Onion Knight as he only had in-game sprites to draw from. His initial designs were "too cartoony" compared to the other heroes, and he was redesigned to match the cover image of ''Final Fantasy III''. Shortly after, the promotional images Yoshitaka Amano had been designing were finished, and Nomura reverted to a more "cartoony" design to match Amano's work.
  
   
  +
The Onion Knight wears primarily bright red armor with some yellow and orange details, a white cape, and an orange skirt. His helmet has an upturned rim over his forehead and a silver-white crest, and a large white plume segmented into five parts.
−
The Onion Knight's first alternate outfit is called "[[Luneth]]", based on the main protagonist in the 3D remake of ''Final Fantasy III''. His armor is bright blue, his eyes are purple, and his hair is silver and differently styled to match Luneth's. The [[Sage (Final Fantasy III)|Sage's]] red colorings become blue, and the [[Ninja (Final Fantasy III job)|Ninja]] outfit is almost entirely black.
  
   
  +
===Personality===
−
The Onion Knight's second alternate outfit "Slasher" is based on artwork of {{foot|the Unnamed Warrior|[[File:Amano_Warrior.jpg|250x250px]]}} prevalent in much of ''Final Fantasy III's'' art. He removes his helmet to reveal spiky white hair, and his armor is primarily black with red and gold highlights. In this outfit his Sage and Ninja forms are green.

{{Quote|I finally got it. I was a fool to defy my heart, just to bind myself to reason. I will protect Terra with my own strength. That's what's most important to me! Don't get me wrong—I still won't fight against anyone I can't beat. But I've decided in my heart to fight. That's why I'm going to beat you!|Onion Knight}}
  +
The Onion Knight appears to be very intelligent and analytical, usually finding solutions to his problems through logic. He is strong-willed and detests being treated like a child, insisting he is just as strong and heroic as an adult. However, he is secretly afraid of his enemies and prefers not to directly fight them, instead attempting to talk his way out of a fight or finding a way to rationalize backing down. However, when his friends are in danger he will put aside his fears and stand up to anyone to defend them, no matter the threat they pose.
   
  +
==Appearances==
−
The Onion Knight's [[Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy downloadable content#Final Fantasy III|downloadable fourth outfit]]; "Ingus" is based on another protagonist of the remake, [[Ingus]]. His armor is red-pink with puffed out dark pants, a smaller helmet and cape, and brown boots. His Ninja and Sage forms are also based on Ingus's {{foot|respective|[[File:Ingus-Ninja.png|250x250px]]}} {{foot|forms|[[File:Ingus-Sage.png|250x250px]]}}—the Ninja wears a different cowl that shows his hair and a dark red and black uniform, while the Sage wears a white and blue robe with an elaborate miter and a long white cape.

Onion Knight is one of 13 default playable characters.
−
The Onion Knight appears to be very intelligent and analytical, usually finding solutions to his problems through logic. He thinks more like an adult and dislikes those who treat him like a child, and is shown to be strong-willed, shown when he stands up against the Cloud of Darkness after she offered him to join Chaos. He is also shown to be very protective of Terra, looking after her like a big brother. In reality, however, he is rather unsure of himself, usually using his head to get out of situations regarding him. When Cosmos and Golbez tell the Onion Knight to listen to his heart, he realizes that he doesn't need to use his head to do everything for him.
  
   
  +
The Onion Knight has a balanced array of abilities to compliment his already high agility, and can be an effective mage along with boosting his strength and luck. However, he is primarily agility based, as the rest of his stats are still low compared to other characters, even when boosted. His abilities are also outclassed by other speed-based characters.

In cycles prior, the Onion Knight was smothered by [[Vaan/Dissidia|Vaan]], who believed he was too young to fight in his own battles, and took it upon himself to look after him like a big brother. Though he tried to avoid Vaan and found himself annoyed, the Onion Knight eventually started to get used to it, even telling [[Squall Leonhart/Dissidia|Squall]] that he was beginning to slowly accept Vaan as an older brother.

Coming to, the Onion Knight saves [[Terra Branford/Dissidia|Terra]] from manikins and decides to travel with her while finding their Crystals, until Terra is able to fight on her own. During their adventures, Terra starts to sense a strong aura and the Knight convinces her to check it out despite her warnings. They end up encountering [[Exdeath/Dissidia|Exdeath]], and the Knight talks his way out of fighting him, because he fears losing against a powerful enemy. Exdeath, noticing this, calls him a coward, and then leaves while providing cryptic information on how to obtain the Crystals.

When the Knight and Terra get closer to the aura, Terra starts to lose control and attacks the Knight, forcing him to defend himself. Terra is then taken by the [[Cloud of Darkness/Dissidia|Cloud of Darkness]], who tells the young warrior he was responsible for Terra's fall. Cosmos appears to the Knight, and tells him the only way for him to obtain his Crystal is to defeat the Cloud of Darkness. The young warrior laments that he does not have a heart to do so, but Cosmos questions him of his state of courage and vanishes. [[Golbez/Dissidia|Golbez]] appears and tells the Knight of Terra's possession under the Cloud of Darkness, and to think about if he could continue to make judgments in his own head.

The Onion Knight eventually finds Terra, who faints while fighting against the possession the Cloud of Darkness has instilled in her. At first, the Knight offers to do whatever she wants in order to prevent Terra from getting attacked any further, but then decides against this when the Cloud of Darkness tries to possess him. That is when the Knight realizes his inner courage and uses it to protect Terra, even if it means fighting a powerful monster. The Onion Knight and the Cloud of Darkness fight, and she is defeated. Golbez appears once again and gives him a Crystal, praising him of his determination and bravery. After Golbez leaves, the Knight decides to rest with Terra to look after her.

The Onion Knight continues to protect Terra, who has lost some of her memory while passed out during the Knight's fight with the Cloud of Darkness. He also kept the information about their earlier fight from her, feeling it was in her best interests for her to not know. Unfortunately, [[Kefka Palazzo/Dissidia|Kefka]] ambushes the pair and tries to sway Terra into rejoining him, also revealing the fight between them in the process. The Knight interferes, however, and he teleports Kefka and himself away to the World of Darkness, where Kefka expresses irritation at Onion Knight interfering, as well as insulting the "imitation hero" after the knight questions Kefka regarding his obsession with Terra. Afterwards, Golbez then arrives and reminds Onion Knight that he was supposed to protect Terra. The Knight later shows up when Terra and [[Cloud Strife/Dissidia|Cloud Strife]] are surrounded by Kefka and the Cloud of Darkness. Both the Knight and Cloud Strife distract the Cloud of Darkness, while Terra has her final showdown with Kefka and obtains her Crystal.

After the warriors gather, Cosmos sends them to the Land of Discord as they witness [[Chaos (Final Fantasy)/Dissidia|Chaos]] incinerate Cosmos. Soon afterward, the heroes begin to disappear, and are transported to a place of absolute darkness, where not even a single speck of light can be seen. However, the last remaining strength of Cosmos' spirit within the Crystals saves them from permanent erosion, and gives the warriors another chance to strike back.

However, Onion Knight began to show signs of fear, questioning if they themselves were manikins.

Later, the boy pondered while the Warrior of Light is calm after Cosmos's death, with Cecil explaining that the Warrior is restraining himself to protect the others and Cosmos's desire. This inspires the Onion Knight to not only reaffirm his vow to protect Terra, but protect the others and himself as well.

In "Cecil's Quest 013: Even I Don't Remember It" during the 13th cycle, the Onion Knight travels with Cecil, Tidus, Cloud and Terra after the five retrieve their Crystals, and witnesses Cecil battle Kuja while Tidus and Cloud go to help Firion confront the Emperor.

The Onion Knight decides to officially welcome [[Y'shtola Rhul/Dissidia|Y'shtola]] to the battle and offers to be her guide, but is annoyed when [[Vaan/Dissidia|Vaan]] offers to tag along. Before they can move on, a portal appears before them, and the Onion Knight and Vaan chase after Y'shtola who steps through out of curiosity. They find themselves in [[Midgar]], a place that none of them recognise, but speculate that maybe their presence and the memories they carry from their home worlds is what allows this realm to take on their form. They press forward through another portal, and find themselves in [[Rabanastre]].

{{Quote|Chosen by the Wind Crystal to become a Warrior of Light when he wandered into the Altar Cave, whereupon he set out from his village on a quest to save the world. Though the Onion Knight's abilities were meager at the outset, he finally gained the power to stand against the source of the world's unrest itself.|Character Profile}}
   
  +
The Onion Knight is a playable character who could first be recruited during the [[Challenge Event]] [[Aspiring Knight]], wherein he was a First Time Reward for completing the event's Eureka - 7th Level East stage in the Classic Dungeons. He later appeared in [[Destroyer of Light and Dark]].
−
Here, the three of them encounter [[Kefka Palazzo/Dissidia|Kefka]], who is destroying the city out of boredom. Onion Knight introduces him to Y'shtola as a villain he crossed paths with in the previous war, and the three fight him and his Manikin companions. Doing this triggers the planesgorgers to descend upon the realm and consume it, causing the group to flee. They meet up with [[Terra Branford/Dissidia|Terra]], [[Squall Leonhart/Dissidia|Squall]], [[Zidane Tribal/Dissidia|Zidane]], and [[Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII)/Dissidia|Lightning]], and inform them of the planesgorgers' presence. After learning about the resident Eidolons from Terra and Zidane, the two groups return to Materia.
  
   
  +
;Assessment
−
The Onion Knight takes part in the final clash to awaken [[Shinryu (Dissidia)|Shinryu]] with the other champions, and faces off against [[Exdeath/Dissidia|Exdeath]] with Zidane. The two are suddenly caught in one of the [[Emperor Mateus/Dissidia|Emperor]]'s traps as an ambush, but are soon rescued by [[Firion/Dissidia|Firion]]. Once Shinryu appears, the Onion Knight assists in slaying him once and for all. With the dragon finally defeated, the Onion Knight and the other warriors each return to their own worlds, leaving behind their essences in the form of crystals for the gods to use in their stead.
  
  +
The Onion Knight is an Onion Knight, whose combat role is Physical/Magic Hybrid.

At first glance, the Onion Knight shares much in common with the game's Core characters, including poor stats across the board, a fact compounded for the worse by an extremely slow progression through the basic leveling system. Worse still, he will be more reliant than most on permanent augments and [[Record Spheres]] for his potential power. Thus, until his Easter egg is tripped at level 92, he has little more than nostalgia to make a case for his recruitment. Upon reaching this level, his stats shoot skyward to rival his peers, which also pays homage to the job as it appears in the 2006 remake of ''Final Fantasy III''. His signature abilities are based on his ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' appearances.

The Onion Knight is a '''Mystic Fencer''', attacking opponents with swift combos that hit multiple times, and he is equally well-versed with magic and physical attacks. Unique to the Onion Knight is the ability to chain all of his [[Bravery (stat)|Bravery]] attacks into either another Bravery attack or an HP attack, adding to his versatility. He is also the fastest character in the game in normal circumstances, surpassing even [[Tidus/Dissidia|Tidus]] and [[Zidane Tribal/Dissidia|Zidane]], and this coupled with his small stature, he is also one of the most evasive characters in the game. However, his attacks do not do much damage, and he has only four basic Bravery attacks, making him fairly predictable in terms of fighting style. Whilst he is small and thus very evasive, he is arguably the easiest character to punish due to the considerable cooldown on each of his attacks, which vastly reduces the safety of his approach.
  
   
  +
;Stats
−
The Onion Knight does not learn his Bravery to HP attacks directly like other characters. Other characters learn a Bravery to HP attack when mastering the corresponding Bravery attack. Instead, Onion Knight learns a Bravery to Bravery attack, and once he masters it he learns the Bravery to HP attack corresponding to the base attack. Due to this his base Bravery attacks require less AP to master than other characters.

−
[[File:Dissidia Final Fantasy - Onion Knight's EX Burst (Ninja)|250px|right|Ninjutsu]]
  
−
The Onion Knight's EX Mode is '''Job Change''', where he changes into either the Sage or Ninja, the two strongest job classes from the NES release of ''Final Fantasy III''. While in EX Mode he gains the abilities "Sage's Wisdom" and "[[Dual Wield]]." Sage's Wisdom is his ability when a [[Sage (Final Fantasy III)|Sage]], increasing the damage done by his magic attacks and causing them to fire more projectiles. Dual Wield is the ability of his [[Ninja (Final Fantasy III job)|Ninja]] form, increasing the damage done by his physical attacks and causing them to deal more hits. The Onion Knight automatically shifts between jobs when attacking so the relevant bonus is always active.
  
   
  +
;Abilities
−
The Onion Knight is the only character who has two EX Bursts, depending on which type of HP attack he uses to begin the Burst. If activated from a magic attack, his Sage form will use '''Spellbook'''; if activated from a physical attack, his Ninja form will use '''Ninjutsu'''. In both, a command menu will appear and the player must select the appropriate command within a time limit. For Spellbook, the player must select Holy from the "Magic" command; for Ninjutsu, the player must select Shuriken from the "Throw" command.
  
  +
The Onion Knight can use [[Black Magic (Record Keeper)|Black Magic]] and [[White Magic (Record Keeper)|White Magic]] spells up to rarity rank 3, as well as the following Physical ability schools up to rarity rank 3: [[Combat (Record Keeper)|Combat]], [[Support (Record Keeper)|Support]], [[Celerity (Record Keeper)|Celerity]], and [[Ninja (Record Keeper ability type)|Ninja]]. Via Record Spheres, all listed skills can be upgraded to rarity rank 5.
   
  +
His default [[Soul Break]] is [[Turbo-Hit]], which for one Soul Gauge segment deals three physical attacks to one target.
−
[[File:Dissidia Final Fantasy - Onion Knight's EX Burst (Sage)|250px|right|Spellbook]]
  
−
If the player chooses the correct options, the Onion Knight will perform the selected ability, and then follow them up with Meteor or Back Attack respectively. Failing to choose the correct option will have the Onion Knight immediately use Meteor or Back Attack without using Holy or Shuriken. The commands in both "Magic" and "Throw" are randomized every time the EX Burst is used. Spellbook is slightly stronger than Ninjutsu, but not noticeably so and overall both EX Bursts will do approximately the same damage.
  
   
  +
The sword Onion Sword (III) carries the Super Soul Break Onion Slice, which for one Soul Gauge segment deals between eight and eleven physical attacks to one target, also lowering both Defense and Resistance by a large amount.
−
====Equipment====
  
−
Onion Knight can equip [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) weapons#Swords|Swords]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) weapons#Daggers|Daggers]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) weapons#Rods|Rods]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) weapons#Staves|Staves]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) weapons#Thrown|Thrown Weapons]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor#Parrying|Parrying Weapons]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor#Bangles|Bangles]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor#Gauntlets|Gauntlets]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor#Hats|Hats]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor#Hairpins|Hairpins]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor#Clothing|Clothing]], and [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor#Light Armor|Light Armor]]. In ''Dissidia 012'', the Onion Knight can also equip [[Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy armor#Headbands|Headbands]] and [[Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy armor#Chestplates|Chestplates]].
  
   
  +
The bracer Onion Gauntlets (III) carries the Burst Soul Break [[Vessel of Fate]], which for one Soul Gauge segment raises the Attack and Magic of all units in the party while granting them Haste, then places the user in Burst Mode. Upon mastery, the Onion Knight adds 5 points to Attack and 5 points to Magic.

==Allusions==
  
−
*While Onion Knight returns to his home world in ''Dissidia's'' ending, he looks up at the sky and watches a flock of birds flying above him. This is a reference to the ending of the original release of ''Final Fantasy III'' and to the opening sequence of the game's [[Final Fantasy III#Ports and remakes|remake]].
  
−
*The Onion Sword is a reference to the [[Onion equipment]] from ''Final Fantasy III''. The Tyrfing and the King's Sword are also equipment that first appeared on the game's Famicon release.
  
−
*While executing Back Attack in his EX Burst, Onion Knight assumes the pose of the [[:File:Amano Warrior II.jpg|unnamed warrior]] in artwork for ''Final Fantasy III''. This is also a reference to ''Final Fantasy III'' being the first game to include back attacks when facing enemies.
  
−
*Onion Knight's EX Burst is a homage to the [[Battle system|traditional battles]] of the first ''Final Fantasies''. The enemy will appear on the left side of the screen, while the Onion Knight appears on the right side. He takes a step forward as a command menu appears, at which point the player must input a command. While he is engaged on the right and posed like the NES sprite, his opponent, on the left, will be placed to bear resemblance to an encountered enemy and their stances from their originating game, i.e. Cloud of Darkness positioned to look like her NES sprite and Onion Knight in his battle stance.
  
−
*Although it is not executable or relevant to the EX Burst, the player can open up the Item menu during Onion Knight's EX Burst. Doing so will display various items that appeared on ''Final Fantasy III''. The Magic and Throw command likewise display spells and items besides Holy and Shuriken that also appeared in the game.
  
−
**In the French version of ''Dissidia'', the magic menu that appears displays many spells that were ''not'' in ''Final Fantasy III''.
  
−
*The Onion Knight's abilities as shown in ''Dissidia'' are those that correspond to the remake of ''Final Fantasy III'', where the [[Onion Knight (Final Fantasy III)|Onion Knight]] job was one of the most powerful and versatile jobs in the game. In contrast, the job was the default class for the entire [[party]] in the game's original release and, consequently, not as powerful (although it did experience absurdly rapid stat growth once the character reached level 90).
  
−
*When the Onion Knight uses a Bravery attack using his sword, he rapidly swings it multiple times, a reference to the animation for attacking in ''Final Fantasy III''.
  
−
*When the Onion Knight faces [[Yuna/Dissidia|Yuna]], he questions why she lacks a horn due to the fact that [[Summoner (Final Fantasy III)|summoners]] from ''Final Fantasy III'' wear horns on their heads.
  
−
*Outside the Edge of Discord Gateway in the epilogue of ''Light to All'', assuming one of them is not the player's active character, the Onion Knight will appear on the world map with the Warrior of Light and Bartz, and say, "We're warriors of light, blessed by the crystals", alluding to the original title of [[Warriors of Light]] that the three of them share in their original games.
  
−
*When Onion Knight faces [[Ultimecia/Dissidia|Ultimecia]], he asks her what the point of stopping time is. This may be a reference to [[Xande]], whose ultimate plan was to stop time to avoid death.
  
−  
−
==Trivia==
  
−
*The Onion Knight is called by his title by the Cloud of Darkness and Vaan, though the latter only calls him "Onion".
  
−
*Onion Knight has the lowest base Attack in the game, with 107 Attack at Level 100.
  
−
*The Onion Knight and [[Prishe/Dissidia|Prishe]] are the only characters who learn chainable Bravery attacks.
  
−
**Also, Onion Knight and Prishe are the only two warriors to receive a notification when executing a Bravery attack.
  
−
*With a total of thirteen character models - three each, Onion Knight, Ninja, and Sage, for each of his four outfits as well as one for his manikin form - Onion Knight has the most character models of any ''Dissidia'' character.
  
−
*Onion Knight shares his English voice actor with Joshua from ''The World Ends With You'', another video game also published by [[Square Enix]]. He shares his Japanese voice actor with the Concordian King from ''[[Final Fantasy Type-0]]''.
  
−
*[[Aero]] is listed as a black magic spell under the Magic command during the EX Burst, but in ''Final Fantasy III'' where the Onion Knight originates from, it was classified as a white magic spell.
  
−
*The Onion Knight finds his crystal first in ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'', but in ''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy'' he finds it second.
  
−
*The Onion Knight is one of the first six characters announced for the ''Dissidia'' arcade game.
  
−
*The Onion Knight's costume can be used by [[Tiz Arrior]] from ''[[Bravely Default]]''.

Appearance

The Onion Knight was designed by Tetsuya Nomura and draws elements from multiple sources within Final Fantasy III. He is mostly based on the sprites for the original NES Onion Knight class, with body armor based on various concept art by Yoshitaka Amano for an "unnamed warrior" for Final Fantasy III.

The Onion Knight wears primarily bright red armor with some yellow and orange details, a white cape, and an orange skirt. His helmet has an upturned rim over his forehead and a silver-white crest, and a large white plume segmented into five parts.

Personality

I finally got it. I was a fool to defy my heart, just to bind myself to reason. I will protect Terra with my own strength. That's what's most important to me! Don't get me wrong—I still won't fight against anyone I can't beat. But I've decided in my heart to fight. That's why I'm going to beat you!

Onion Knight

The Onion Knight appears to be very intelligent and analytical, usually finding solutions to his problems through logic. He is strong-willed and detests being treated like a child, insisting he is just as strong and heroic as an adult. However, he is secretly afraid of his enemies and prefers not to directly fight them, instead attempting to talk his way out of a fight or finding a way to rationalize backing down. However, when his friends are in danger he will put aside his fears and stand up to anyone to defend them, no matter the threat they pose.

The Onion Knight has a balanced array of abilities to compliment his already high agility, and can be an effective mage along with boosting his strength and luck.

Character Profile

The Onion Knight is a playable character who could first be recruited during the Challenge Event Aspiring Knight, wherein he was a First Time Reward for completing the event's Eureka - 7th Level East stage in the Classic Dungeons. He later appeared in Destroyer of Light and Dark.

Assessment

The Onion Knight is an Onion Knight, whose combat role is Physical/Magic Hybrid.

At first glance, the Onion Knight shares much in common with the game's Core characters, including poor stats across the board, a fact compounded for the worse by an extremely slow progression through the basic leveling system. Worse still, he will be more reliant than most on permanent augments and Record Spheres for his potential power. Thus, until his Easter egg is tripped at level 92, he has little more than nostalgia to make a case for his recruitment. Upon reaching this level, his stats shoot skyward to rival his peers, which also pays homage to the job as it appears in the 2006 remake of Final Fantasy III. His signature abilities are based on his Dissidia Final Fantasy appearances.

Etymology

The onion, also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is used as a vegetable and is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium.

In a 2020 Famitsu interview with Koichi Ishii and Hiromichi Tanaka about Final Fantasy III, Tanaka stated that he created the term "Onion Knight" after seeing Ishii's character design for the job, likening the shape of its helmet's large, white plume to that of an onion.[1]

Fans had previously speculated that "Onion Knight" refers to the Japanese metaphoric idiom "peeling away one layer at a time and crying all the way" (referring to poverty) or from the slang phrase "to know one's onions" (meaning to be very versatile).


A knight is a mounted soldier in armor who served his sovereign or lord in the Middle Ages. The word comes from Old English cniht ("boy" or "servant"), a cognate of the German word Knecht ("servant, bondsman, vassal"). In most European languages (with the notable exception of English), the word for "knight" comes from "horse", thus implying that a knight is a "noble horseman" or a "horse-mounted nobleman". The English noun cavalier, an archaic term for a mounted soldier, traces its roots to Latin, and is closer in meaning to the "horseman" of Romance languages.
