What happens

Baoh (Japanese: バオー来訪者, Hepburn: Baō Raihōsha; lit. 'Baoh: The Visitor') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki, most famous for his manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Originally serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1984 to 1985, it was later compiled into two tankōbon volumes. The series was adapted into a single-episode original video animation (OVA) by Studio Pierrot and distributed by Toho in 1989. Baoh is Araki's first series to display his signature penchant for high-octane gore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
