Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode Nate meets Komajiro.
  • This is the first episode of the English dub to show Komasan's new voice style, which would be used in later episodes and newer Yo-kai Watch video game.
  • Before Whisper goes out of Nate's house to visit the Yopple store in the Yo-kai World, he says in Japanese that he is "going to join the big wave" which is a reference to a person named BUTCH on the news stating the exact same thing when he lines up at an Apple Store to buy an iPhone 6 in 2014.
  • The scene where Jibanyan beats up Nate after summoning him would continue in several future episodes.
  • This episode and Westward Yo! were previewed at the San Diego Comic Con 2016 on July 23, 2016 during the Yo-kai Watch voice actor panel.
  • This is the first episode of the Season 2 English dub.
  • The segments on the Zap2It TV listings are incorrectly called "Let's Get the New Yo-kai Watch!" and "How to Open the Box Properly". Those are literal translations of the Japanese titles and may have been used as a placeholder during localization.
  • In the recap, the back of Whisper's Next HarMEOWny happi has a different logo compared to the NPCs wearing them in Yo-kai Watch 3.

Dub Differences[]

  • When Nate inserts a regular medal into the Model Zero, the Original Yo-kai Watch summoning song plays instead of a message that reminds the user about the Medal incompatibility. This was likely done to match up with the real-life Hasbro-manufactured Zero Watch that was once sold in select western territories, as it can play any Medal unlike its Japanese variant.
  • Jibanyan's Nyext Z Medal was changed to his normal Z medal.

Errors[]

  • In the Arabic dub of this episode, Sproink wasn't edited out.
  • The French dub of this episode's preview (from the end of EP026) uses a completely textless version throughout, including scenes of the Yo-kai World without the Japanese signage and a shot of Jibanyan's Z-medal without Yo-Motion. Since the preview's dub may have been done during Season 1's production span, it's likely these edits were simply not finalized at the time.
