From what I've heard, and that may be wrong, Onion Kid is a japanese term for poor kid. Maybe it was a mistranslation, or maybe the translators thought we wouldn't like the term "poor kid"... Anyway...

'Cause they stink.

Because Onion Kids and onions both contain 'allinases' and 'amino acid sulfoxides'. So when they're cut in half they create a mild volatile gas which irritates your tear ducts.

Watching Onion Kids get cut in half usually makes me cheery...

Yes, apparently "onion" is a Japanese colloquialism for not having any money, being poor, impoverished, etc.

Yes. It's "Poor"

For the record it's probly because (Other than Onion equipment) They a "Poor" class you can't do much with them,
