Haha are you serious? That's pretty cool. Oh yeah to balance out the Oni Kings, yomi troops suck (except from bandit archers which are serviceable with bakemono archers till you get indies that is) Oni's are poor researchers and also their magic isn't very versatile for early age.

About vanishing afflictions - it is correct. However the process is not 100% certain - some afflictions vanish, some not. I haven't looked into it in detailes, but it looked to me like about roughly 50% of afflictions are gone when unit switches to ghost form.
However I would call it a rather interesting feature that add flavor and not a bonus. There are several problems if someone would try to use it as a tactic.
First - it is pretty much impossible to take advantage of it with any type of certainty and without huge risks. You see, if opposition was strong enough to managed to reduce your mighy Dai Oni into the little zero protection ghost, it means your Dai Oni is almost finished. All chances are that at that point your Dai Oni will be gone for good during next round or two.
Second - while being reduced from 50 hp to zero, there is a very good chances that your Dai Oni will add new affliction or two to the collection he has already.
All and all, I would call it curious and interesting feature, but not something that makes demons stronger as a nation.
