I like this deck, the extra could be improved, but it's good enough to be played.
Well, the deck is based on Blu-Blooded Oni's capabilities of looping and swarming.
Let's just say an Oni in the grave (and another random zombie monster), shutendoji and photon thrasher in hand with no monsters on the field. If you've got upstart goblin or Book of Life/Monster Reborn, this'll make the combo kinda awesome.
SS Thrasher, NS Shutendoji
XYZ into Lavalval Chain, send mezuki to the grave detaching shuten
Eff Mezuki, SS Oni, detach thrasher, SS Shuten
Eff shuten, put mezuki on top deck
XYZ into Lavalval Chain, use its effect detaching oni to send mezuki
eff mezuki, SS oni, eff oni, detach and SS Shuten (you'll need another zombie monster in the grave to do so)
XYZ into the last lavalval chain, repeat the loop to go into another R4 monster
OR
if you've got a reborner, use lavalval chain's effect to put on top deck BLS/DAD (based on what you need and you can summon)
use the reborner to reborn oni, detach shuten and SS it.
Use shuten's effect to banish two zombies and draw bls
SS BLS and then go into another giant R4 monster

In the worst of cases the combo will end into 3 lavalval chains and another R4, (1800x3=5400+another R4, pearl would be perfect since he has exactly 2600, could be game if direct attack).
The combo could look hard to start, a bit situational, but it totally isn't. That's just one of the way to loop, one of the worst, youo can even abuse of zombie master to discard things from hand, do 3-Material XYZs and go into double oni and another monster. 3 Onis can combo like hell. Let's say you have an ouroboros on the field with two materials, detach one for oni, detach the second for oni, too, and you'll have 3 Onis on the field. You can then go into pearl, detach one to summon another oni and another one to summon the other one, and have again 3 onis, and one of those hasn't still used his effect.
I was thinking of dropping one ouroboros from the extra for the second pearl, for this.
Speaking of fixes I'd do, I'd drop tour guide, I don't like it anymore post-banned, since it has just one target in here, and since we're tight on the extra, I'd like to drop that leviair, too.
Bone Crusher is a tech, has tons and tons of potential, but right now I haven't used its effect once, in 30 games, more or less. Not sure what to do about this.
Inferno Reckless Summon, makes really easy OTKs with oni, if your opponent has bad targets, but I don't like opponent-relying cards, it's all based on luck, and I kinda lack it, lol.

So, I'd do:
-1 Tour
-1 Inferno Reckless Summon
-1 Bone Crusher

+1 Upstart Goblin (sometimes it's not possible banishing two targets for shutendoji's effect, and this substitutes the reborner to draw into BLS/DAD. Adds some speed to the deck, too)
+2 Call of the Haunted (maybe, dunno. Calls are always good, chainable to MST/Heavy Storm to search with goblin and sangan. Or this, or Silver Sentiner. And I'm serious about the latter, MST/Heavy Storm bait, SS itself and destroys nasty S/Ts that'll block our combo, while putting on the field the first lv4 we'll need for the first XYZ to start looping)

For the Extra I'd do:
-1 Leviair (no more tour, no more R3, and we need slots)
-1 Ghost Ship (it's just that I don't like it)
-1 Ouroboros (3 are just too much, even if it possible to loop with them, too)

+1 Pearl
+1 Chimeratech Fortress (if you want to keep one of those, you can drop this, then)/Gaia (against Thunder Family, monarch with illusion snatch, constellar, Chronomaly, ecc... with mind control)/photon papilloperative (among those, this is the one I like the most, since this can substitute ghost ship's main use, destroy reaper)
+1 Utopia Ray (well, you can detach from utopia to use oni's effect and then go into this, and you can steal opponent's utopias with mind control)

The deck has lot of power, sadly, some Backrows can easily stop this, then, you don't need to loop exactly when you have all of the pieces, be sure to kill their backrows, first. If you go against trap-less deck, be aware of gorz.
Try the deck, I believe you'll like this. If you have some questions, as always, just say it in the comments.

Oh, and, just a little thing, for the first card of the week of the banned (3th september), SHE will be an unexpected card, I'm looking forward to posting it. Try and guess.
Tomorrow I'll go to my first sneak peek, and, thus, the only real tournament. I'm looking for Madolche Majoleine, but I'm fine with no matter the madolche card.

Stay Tuned.

Crazy Idea: Banishing Lightsworn

Yeah, let me explain this. What would someone side against lightsworn? more likely Macro Cosmos (if possible) or Dimensional Fissure. But if we could use Macro Cosmos as main card in our deck? That would wreck the meta, no inzektor loop, no Wind-up loop, no Hieratic abuse of REDMD, no Dark World, no Miracle fusion for heroes (even if their shining will raise to incredible amount of ATK), only rabbit won't get hit a lot, but right now rabbit is weakened for Priority rules, and don't know how many people would play that knowing that anyone plays 3 veilers and 3 fiendish chain. But how would this work, then? Well, lightray sorcerer. Isn't this enough? light of redemption. Not enough even now? CHAOS ZONE. Yes, this is another big piece of the deck. Lightsworns mill, macro comsos banishes, chaos zone gain a lot of counter, and then SS what you want from the banished zone.
Is the idea starting forming in your mind? Light of redemption works like a rota because lightsworn banishes as hell.
As usual you are permitted to summon excalibur and blade armor, but you can take out opponent's monster even with D.D. Warrior Lady.
What do you think of this? If you have some other ideas, post them in comments.
