got a tad bit silly and decided “you know what? I’m going to use this template (WHICH I FORGOT THE LINK TO. IM SORRY.) and added my favorite yo-kais to it!” but I only know most of my yo-kais from the western releases for the games (I just found out about that tiger girl in the mysterious tribe that’s in yo-kai watch busters 2 and I LOVE HER?? Girlboss. <3)

Asked for some yokai fusions on reddit, this is the first batch

L-R: Frostysol, Nonoko, Venyan, Lord Lie-in, Slimatina, Whisbuzz

Some thoughts on these designs under the cut

Yayyyyyy thoughts on these because I like talking, esp about my creative process

Frostysol: I WILL SAY RIGHT NOW I KNOW I FUCKED UP THE KOSODE MASSIVELY, IT DOESN’T HAVE SLEEVES & IT’S TOO BIG….. I literally only had two ideas for this desgin, one was inspired by the yuki onna segment's backgrounds from Kwaidan & the other was inspired by the spirits from Kuro Neko. The eyes in the backgrounds of yuki onna were so striking & I had just watched the movie recently so it was still fresh in my mind. I knew I wanted her to be closer to a real yuki onna rather than just a cute snow girl spirit. And in that regard Kuro Neko helped with that. I guess subconsciously I wanted her to give off vibes of an unsuspecting girl who kills you & turns out to be a yokai. I thought a kosode would make more sense historically than a random cape, but also idk if young girls wore kosode like that or if it was just adult women. Had no ideas how to incorporate pallysol so I just used him for little details. He's more prevalent in the design intentionally than physically

Nonoko: Pretty simple what do I say. Uh I thought I could do a clover for the tail rather than a heart like Bloominoko. Wanted to make him even fatter than he is cuz he's Noko x2, also made his spots clover shaped cuz what's more lucky than a four leafed clover? An eight leafed clover! Or two four leafed clovers..... Also gave him double teeth & some little wing shaped clovers on his head kinda like Dudunsparce. This one didn't have a lot of thought go into it, I just kinda did what felt natural

Venyan: The first thing I thought about was what colour to make the fur & what colour to make the hair. I decided on red hair cuz it would pop more with dark blue fur. Also made his face pattern a part of his hair cuz he doesn’t have enough room on his face for it with Venocts bangs. I wanted him to be kind of a shitty little bastard, a real cat kinda cat. A good mix of their personalities y’know. Didn’t have much going on with this design either other than I didn’t want the scarf to be all bulky with the dragons cuz Jibanyan is very squart, so I moved them to the tails. Also just because that looks cooler. Had a hell of a time drawing them, I have experience drawing dragons but I’ve always been bad at drawing them roaring or snarling, they look okay but not great.

Lord Lie-in: Also had a bit of trouble combining these two, makes sense cuz I put this one off for more than a few weeks. Didn’t wanna give him big spiky saiyan hair so he got some stray hairs in the front. Took his face framing bangs & tied them up cuz I always like that look (They’re two different pieces tied individually then tied together, so there’s two mini ponytails instead of one. Also had to deliberate on the hair colours cuz I knew I wanted him to have white fur. One of my favourites was red hair with light blue ends but I didn’t go with that one cuz his outfit is mostly red. I also DID NOT feel like giving him a whole kimono (mostly for silhouette reasons) so I just gave him Miku-like sleeves. I originally wanted to give him split leg hakama but when looking at reference I remembered “Oh yeah these things have a lot of pleats & the crotch is pretty low so that’s not great for the silhouette I have in mind.” I gave him harem-esque pants & if you look closely at the upper thigh you can see a little slit in the side of them. Underneath his waist plate & top, the pants tie together like hakama do so I guess I got the hakama in a little bit. I didn’t have any room for his arm warmers so I made them into gloves & gave him the kind of socks that I don’t know what they’re called (Catra has them & I think they’re cool). Also gave him tengu cuz they look cooler than whatever Lie-in Heart has going on. Also cuz it makes him more like “Woah what a bold guy/character!!” And don’t ask how the sword fits in that sheath, idk magic or something he’s the king of the yokai he can do whatever he wants

Slimatina (or Frostymander): Again not much going on here it’s pretty simple. Gave the lower body muscles cuz I noticed the lower body of Slimamander kind of looked like a chest & also just cuz that makes it more creepy. I gave the main body/head some hair clips resembling the patterns on the bulbs of the other heads. Also made the openings in the head look more like a woman’s mouth cuz again, makes it creepy, but also I just thought it would fit more with the Frostina part. Also gave the main heads head eyelashes that look like the openings on the other heads. Decided to give her a cape this time cuz I’m not fuckin around with another kosode. I don’t know if it comes off in the piece but I wanted her cape to be flying up like she just summoned a harsh wind. Last thing is I gave her an eye ornament on her obi & a specially tied obijime cuz I saw one tied like that on google & I thought it looked cute

Whisbuzz: YET AGAIN SAY IT WITH ME! NOT! MUCH! GOING! ON!!!!!! Uhh gave him a frown cuz he’s depressed or whatever, made the top of his hood look like Whispers…… ahoge???? Made his wings wispy on the ends. That’s about it. Fun fact before I drew that one I had another one but I scrapped it because it looked too much like a sperm cell :]

BLOOMINOKO!!

Ok so so far, the wish forms available in act 1 (or season 1) of YWV are :

-Jibanyan

-Komane

-Appak

-Cadable

-Bloominoko

-Blizzaria

-Venoct

-Kyubi

-Dragon Lord

-Badude

-Multimutt

-Hungogre

-Beelzebold

-Abodabat

-Reversa

-Insomni

-Impass

-Rattelle

-Tattlecast

-Reuknight

-Sheen

(Next step is coming up with designs for some of them-)

The wish forms are accessible to all yokais, but only a handful of them are capable of having a brand new form.

Normally, the Yokai is surrounded by a green aura, and for some, they have alternative forms, as a way to show the person they wish to become.

Think Dynamax/Gigantamax but without the height expansion and green instead of pink

A drawing to explain this phenomenon

Speaking about YW AU’s, I also made my own story when I was 13-14 years old (so like 4-5 years ago) and its name is « Yo-Kai Watch V ».

It takes place 5 years after the main story’s events. We follow Keita, Inaho (keep in mind that they are 15-16 years old in it) and their friends in their supernatural shenanigans and with their agency. Other watchers will join their adventures, such as Hibiki Ryusei, a girl who owns a « Astra Model » Yo-Kai Watch, and our protagonists will also their own.

There is also a new mechanic I thought of, and it was the « Wish Forms », which needs a « Meteor Medal » to be added on certain Yo-Kais to ascend to this mode.

The story is structured into a prologue (which happens 2 years before YWV and counts as a YW music note rewrite), and epilogue and four main arcs between them.

YWV first arc : As the shooting stars falls

YWV first main arc : Dedtime Arc

YWV second main arc : Ghoulfather Arc

YWV final main arc : Kraken Arc

I just thought that it would be nice to see YW leaning into the Shonen-like genre and a hint of emotions within it, when Nate was still the protagonist.

And if you’re wandering, YWV isn’t a bridge to Shadowside, more like it’s own thing, filled with my self-indulgences.

This is extremely interesting to read ! This AU seems to be very thorough and complete.

I really like the fact that you aged up Keita and Inaho, it will lead to more mature themes and morals, like what it means to grow up, the new perspectives maturity can bring to their role of Watcher, and the view and opinion they have on the different antagonists they will encounter could change, as they start to better understand them.

This new character, Hibiki Ryusei, could bring a lot to the table too. Her Yokai Watch is intriguing as well, how did she obtain it ? Did Steve Jaws release this new model in continuity to the Model U ? Or maybe she inherited it from a family member or a yokai ?

How are the "Wish forms" and "Meteor Medals" working, exactly ? The concept of "Wish form" reminds me a lot of the Dream Link of Nate's Yokai Watch U and the "Dream Link" introduced in the third movie, could it be centered around the same mechanic ? "Meteor medals" are very interesting too, meteors can be associated with a lot of things in the Yokai Watch universe. One of them being the meteors falling during Enma's summoning, could there be a link between these two ? The Meteor medals could be powered by the energy of Enma, allowing yokai to transform ?

I can just imagine a gorgeous summoning and transformation similar to the Godsides in Forever Friends, but maybe I am looking too far- '^^

I also love to see every antagonists of the three games have their own arc. I am very curious about their placement in the story and how you are going to portray each of them. I am sure it is extremely well done, they have a lot of potential and all get a chance to shine !

Perhaps each antagonist will reveal a usefull lore element that will all connect at the end for the final battle, and reveal a plot-twist ? Could The Ghoulfather, McKracken and Dedtime all be working together to dominate the human world ?

I agree that a more Shonen-oriented Yokai Watch series could be very refreshing, with a more mature Nate, a new Watcher to bring some new content, and Inaho as the funny sidekick to balance the whole show. There could be a lot more variety of themes discussed in it, as well as more risks to be taken in terms of content.

But anyway, I can't say it enough, this AU is amazing ! Honestly if is was to become official, I would definitely watch it on TV everyday ! XD I just hope this long post with dozens of questions didn't annoy you too much, I apologize in advance '^^

Thank you very much for sending me this beautiful AU !
