In Patapon 3, each one of the Seven Archfiends (with the exception of the Archfiend of Tolerance) possesses a boss, controlling it in story-related quests. The bosses still have their instant kill attacks, making them much more deadly as your Shield-based classes are the only things stopping them from killing Hatapon.
NOTE: When the boss' HP is around half, the boss you are fighting will go into rage mode. This is best recognised when they start to retreat at a high speed. In rage mode, the boss moves at twice of normal speed and attacks without any warning at all, except for instant-kill attacks, which still need to be charged.
