Synopsis
Continues the story of Youkai Watch Movie 3: Soratobu Kujira to Double Sekai no Daibouken da Nyan!
A colossal flying whale materializes above Sakura New Town, and its eerie cry causes all Yo-Kai to undergo a strange transformation. The characters soon discover that this event has made the Yo-Kai physical and tangible, existing now in a solid, material world. This is the third movie in the Yo-Kai Watch franchise, which is based on the popular video game series.
In this installment
Set three decades after the events of the original Youkai Watch TV series, the story begins with Keita Amano, an 11-year-old boy who once owned a wristwatch capable of commanding Youkai. Through that watch, Keita befriended many Youkai and accomplished numerous great deeds. However, as Keita grew older, the ability to see Youkai faded. The wristwatch itself, because its power threatened to disrupt the balance between the human world and the Youkai world, was cast away into oblivion beyond time and space. In time, the tale of the Youkai-controlling wristwatch became nothing more than a legend. Then, after many years passed, something happened: an epidemic Youkai virus called Onimaro began affecting people with malevolent intentions. Spreading without limit, the virus transformed those infected into Kaodeka Oni and threw the city into chaos. With the end approaching, only those chosen by a new Youkai Watch can rise against the coming threat and save both Youkai and humans from certain destruction.
