After you deal enough damage to the Oniyama, you have to leap into its bay to complete the level, and typically you have to wait quite a bit of time for it to swoop in close enough. I decided to do some testing and managed to cut out about thirteen seconds of this waiting by finding the earliest moment that you can jump onto the helicopter.
Jumping into the Oniyama is extremely dangerous using this method, not just for the actual jump but getting in position for the jump. You're crowded off the platform by a big light, so you have to be holding "grab" to make sure you don't fall.
Additionally, the Oniyama's bay has three soldiers inside of it that can easily drain your health down to nothing. If you manage to survive to make the jump, you still need to survive while trying to climb from the edge of the bay door where the soldiers have an easy time of chipping off the rest of your health.
It might be best to use the time waiting for the Oniyama to get in position to grab some of the restoration kits over by the side of the building if you've taken damage during the fight.
