Show: Yo-Kai Watch
Episode: 1b
Year: 2014/2015

Writer(s): Katō Yōichi

Yo-Kai Watch is defintely one of the most interesting video games to hit the states in 2015 and it's highly underrated. I wouldn't by any means call it a Pokemon killer as others so erroneously trash it as but it is definitely a game with a lot of heart, a great concept utilizing mythical creatures we in the states wouldn't know of, and the cast is all very likable and quirky. It helps especially that unlike the last anime Disney XD aired, Doraemon, they didn't really change much of anything except for the names. Then again Ash Ketchum rolls a lot easier off the tongue than Satoshi so I'll take Nate Adams over Amano Keita. I guess you could call this Japan's answer to Danny Phantom in a way, hey at least it's sillier than The Real Ghostbusters am I right?

That being said even with all sorts of crazy wacky Yo-Kai in this show like Fidgephant who makes you need to piss, Cheeksqueek who farts out his ass mouth and makes others fart and weirdos like the perverted Manjimutt it's hard to remember that these Yo-Kai were, for the most part living beings who couldn't pass on to the afterlife.

Jibanyan is the game's mascot sharing that position with Whisper, and despite the cuteness he's one of the more tragic cases in the series. Back when he was a living cat with his owner Amy he got hit by a truck in this intersection which he now haunts. Amy stood over his body crying, AND CALLED HIM A LOSER! At least, that was what Jibayan thought had happened in his last moments of life; when you're dying your senses aren't all that sharp especially when you're an animal. From this point on theres major spoilers so turn back now if you don't want any of these Feelios!

Remember the first episode of Yu Yu Hakusho where Yusuke died saving that kid from a truck? Yeah it's exactly like that, only without the dramatic irony for comedy or snarky grim reaper voiced by Chi-Chi. Amy tried crossing the street to meet her friends when she wasn't supposed to and nearly got run over, so JIBANYAN DIVES IN to push her out of the way of the oncoming truck collision and takes the hit for her! He saved her life! Jibanyan heard Amy say this when he first became a Yo-Kai and though she was talking about him, but really she was cursing herself for being so careless to begin with! It's her own fault that Jibanyan died and saved her life. If she want so careless he'd still be alive! And she lives with that guilt knowing it's her fault he's gone. Jibanyan thought that she wanted him to be better by calling him lame or a loser in death so as a Yo-Kai he haunts the intersection of his death and inspirits the vehicles to cause near-collisions whenever he can, not collisions but close calls given his death. He thinks that by "defeating these vehicles" he will earn Amy's approval.

Jibanyan may remember when he was alive but he cannot remember his living name like so many spirits are one to do. And he doesn't even remember he saved his owner. So his entire dedication to better himself for the owner he though hated him in death is tragically pointless. Just watching him try in desperation to stop these trucks and failing so hard is comedic ally tragic if that's the right term. It may look funny seeing a ghost kitty getting hit by truck after truck but to him this is no joke, he WANTS to prove to Amy he's no loser! So what better way than to team up with Nate? This is where he obtains his very first Yo-Kai medal and thus his journey into the world of Yo-Kai truly begins!
