What is confirmed

Searchers type oni transformation. Capcom’s published system names are different.

Oni Awakening: PlayStation.Blog coverage of Trailer 6 (Gamescom 2026) describes Musashi releasing inner Oni strength through Oni Awakening. Capcom-quoted coverage calls this the fully awakened Oni form.
Oni Strength: breaks stalemates and shatters defenses; also used in exploration.
Oni Agility: explosive speed, including wall-run on certain walls.
Oni Armaments: superhuman tools from the gauntlet.

The official action page groups Issen, Oni power, varied action, and Oni Armaments. Use those names in guides.

What is not confirmed

There is no official move list entry titled “oni transformation.” This URL exists because people search that phrase; the answer is the official name Oni Awakening.

Meter costs, duration, and a full transformation skill tree are not published. Do not invent them.

Fandom pages titled Oni Awakening describe older Onimusha games, including purple-soul invincible forms. Those pages are not Capcom’s Way of the Sword move list.
