Spoilers for chapters one and two of the Shadow manga!
Okay, to start off, I don't know if the manga is meant to be mainline-canon. However, based on what we've seen of it so far, I'm reading between the lines a bit, and have come up with a theory of sorts.
So, part one is set entirely on the Ark, ending with Maria being shot. Part two is where things start connecting to Generations more, and get a bit interesting:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way this is framed makes it seem as if Shadow went directly from the Ark to the White Space. Which could just mean that the events on the Ark were some sort of flashback due to the time-traveling stuff. My theory takes a different approach though.
See, based on the way Shadow's been acting, it doesn't seem like he was just having a flashback. He hasn't given any indication of that, and the way he reacts after he arrives in White Space stands out to me. His first thought is that he needs to return to the Ark, and his second is remembering Maria's death.
Tumblr media
But the Ark hasn't been his home in a long time, and he's known that Maria's dead for years. Comparing that to his reaction at the end of chapter one of Dark Beginnings:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He immediately clocks that it wasn't real, and he doesn't make any comment about Maria's death.
Theory time. Now, I know this almost certainly isn't what happens, but I want to put it out there before the game drops. What if Shadow from the manga is "Classic" Shadow? Shadow who has never been to the planet, who hasn't even had an hour since Maria died, and who hasn't yet found any reason for his existence beyond saving Maria?
Tumblr media
This line from the orb-guy stands out to me as well.
Tumblr media
What do they mean by "the second one?" What if the first "red and black" one was also Shadow, but modern Shadow?
It might be a bit of a stretch, but I think it's an interesting idea at least. The concept of past Shadow meeting his present-day counterpart. "Modern" Shadow has already come to terms with Maria's death, and is prioritizing stopping the Black Arms/Time Eater/Mephiles/whoever is trying to destroy the world. "Classic" Shadow only cares about saving Maria; nothing else matters.

Yokai Watch Corocoro Leaks (March 2018)
Corocoro leaks have been coming out, so I will translate under the readmore.
Beware of spoilers, naturally!
This month’s issue of corocoro does not have much on Yokai Watch,
it mostly shows off the new toy version of the “Yokai Watch Eruda” that will be released in 2018, the “Arcs” that will work with it, being something like new versions of the familiar Yokai Medals, and a reminder that the new Shadowside anime will begin soon.
As usual I’ve tried to translate as much as possible from the snapshots I’ve seen, and I do think it’s interesting.
--
First we have this page:
Tumblr media
(images source)
This one is just a little intro, showing us that this segment will be about this toy version of the Yokai Watch Eruda.
The Eruda is called エルダ/Eruda in Japanese, which can also be romanized as Eluda, Elda, and Erda, among other things. But since I’m personally not sure which is the intended meaning, I stick to a direct romanization for now.
-
Tumblr media
古のウォッチが An ancient Watch...
Tumblr media
今、開放される- ...will now be unleashed-
Tumblr media
妖怪ウォッチシャドウサイド 新生ホビー開発スクープ!! The scoop on the development of the Shadowside's rebirth as hobby merchandise!!
-
Note:
Don’t read too much into them using big words like “rebirth”, or “unleashed”, this is mostly to sound cool.
--
Next is this page:
Tumblr media
(images source)
Here we get a bit of a look at the new Arcs, which seemingly function similar to Yokai Medals. In Japanese they’re called アーク/Āku, which can be romanzed as “arc”, but technically also as “ark” or similar things.
On this page there is a small decription for Natsume that I can’t read, but I presume it’s nothing we haven’t heard before?
-
Tumblr media
DX妖怪ウォッチエルダで シャドウ&ライトサイド妖怪を召喚!! Summon Shadow & Light Yokai with the Deluxe Yokai Watch Eruda!!
Tumblr media
「映画妖怪ウォッチ」第4弾で大活躍し、 アニメ・シャドウサイドでも重要な役割を担う新ウォッチ誕生!! Having been a huge success in the 4th "Yokai Watch Movie", a new Watch that will also play an important role in the Shadowside Anime is born!!
Tumblr media
現在開発中!! 2018年発売予定!! Currently in Development!! Scheduled to be released in 2018!!
-
Tumblr media
アークを集めて ともだち妖怪を増やそう!! Try collecting Arcs and get more yokai friends!!
1本のアーク裏表にシャドウ&ライトサイド妖怪が宿るぞ。 The Shadow & Lightside yokai appear on the front and back of a single Arc.
-
Tumblr media
コマさん Komasan
ライトサイド シャドウサイド Lightside Shadowside
Tumblr media
各地を放浪しているコマ犬妖怪。 シャドウサイドのギャップが大!? A komainu yokai what wanders all across the land. There is a huge gap to his Shadowside!? (1)
-
Tumblr media
ジバニャン Jibanyan
ライトサイド シャドウサイド Lightside Shadowside
Tumblr media
おなじみのネコ妖怪。 シャドウサイドになると戦闘力が急激に上昇!! A familiar cat yokai. When he turns into his Shadowside, his battle power rises sharply!!
-
Tumblr media
新妖怪は コイツに注目!! New yokai take note of this one here!!
ぞくぞく登場する新妖怪の中でも 得に注目なのがジュニア!! ある妖怪と深い関係が!? Even among the exciting new yokai, Junior is one you'd better pay attention to!! Has a deep relationship with (a) certain yokai!? (2)
Tumblr media
ジュニア Junior
かわいい姿のライトサイド。 シャドウサイドになると姿が激変!? The adorable Lightside form. Changes drastically when turning into Shadowside!?
早くもホビー化 アークも登場!! Will become hobby merchandise and appear as an Arc as soon as possible!!
4月20日 放送で 判明!? Set to be revealed during the broadcast of the 20th of April!? (3)
-
Notes:
I’m fairly sure this refers to the gap between his Lightside and Shadowside, but it’s unclear if it means a gap in power, or another kind of gap.
Since there is no clear plural in Japanese, its unclear if this line refers to Junior having a strong relationship/connection with one or multiple yokai.
I’m unsure if this refers to Junior himself appearing on that day’s episode, or the Shadowside form of Junior, or maybe just a reveal for the Arc toy.
--
And then we have this page:
Tumblr media
(images sources)
This shows how the Arcs will work when used together with the Eruda.
It also features a tiny bit on the new anime, but most of it is what I already translated before, regarding when it will start, and that it will begin with a 1 hour special.
-
Tumblr media
エルダを開いて アークをかざせ!! Open the Eruda and hold out the Arc!!
-
Tumblr media
謎のキー アイテム The Mysterious Key Item
「アーク」が召喚のカギに!! "Arcs" become the key for summoning!!
ともだち妖怪の力を宿した鍵型のニューアイテム「アーク」。 これをエルダに差し込み回すと、 カバーがオーペン!! ウォッチの盤面に 「アーク」をかざすと、妖怪を召喚できるぞ!! Arcs, the new, key-like items that house the power of your yokai friends. If you insert one into the Eruda and turned it, the cover opens!! If you hold an Arc over the Watch's clock face, you can summon yokai!!
-
Tumblr media
回す方向で シャドウかライトかを 選べるぞ。 With the turning direction you can chose between Shadow and Light
Tumblr media
左なら シャドウサイド If you go left, it's Shadowside
アークを左に 回すと出現だ!! It will appear if you turn the Arc to the left!!
Tumblr media
右なら ライトサイド If you go right, it's Lightside
シャドウSとは 召喚音がちがう。 The summoning sound is different from the Shadowside.
-
Tumblr media
ともだち妖怪を 呼び出せ!! アニメの中でも同じような動き (?) 妖怪たちを召喚するぞ!! Call your yokai friends!! Summon yokai with the same movements as in the anime!! (1)
Tumblr media
アニメの新シリーズがついにスタート。 今までにないバトルが展開!? The new series of the anime will finally start. Will unprecedented battles develop!?
Tumblr media
映画の続きが 毎週観られる! You can watch the continuation of the movie every week!
Tumblr media
ナツメとウィスパーのコンビが大活躍!? The combination of Natsume and Whisper is a huge success!? ()
-
Tumblr media
You can tell there is some text next to this screencap of Kēsuke, but it’s so blurry I can’t make it out at all.
-
Notes:
Because this text is partially obscured, I had to guess a bit on some kana, so my translation might be off.
“Combination” here refers to a combination in the sense of like, them acting as a team.
--
In addition to all of these, this issue of Corocoro also had something on the Yokai Watch manga (the one by Noriyuki Konishi)
Note that I don’t know much about the Yokai Watch manga, but from what I understand this one by Noriyuki Konishi is currently serialized in Corocoro, which means each Cororoco issue has a new chapter of this manga (and later those get collected into actual Volumes).
It seems that this manga has now either started it’s Shadowside storyline, or at least teased it, but not many snapshots were taken of it. This does make sense though, as generally people tend to refrain from leaking complete chapters like that.
But yeah, so I don’t know much about the context about these, but there is some details I’d like to go over.
-
First is this shot:
Tumblr media
(image source)
It’s cut off a bit, but based on the context, I believe the text here says:
新”妖怪ウォッチ伝説”、 始まる!! A new "Yokai Watch Legend" Begins!!
-
I can’t help but note how this is the first time I’ve personally seen a picture that clearly shows adult Kēta/Nate without his face being obscured, alongside his wife, who, in the manga at least, is confirmed to be Fumika/Katie
Tumblr media
-
And more importantly (?) we see that Kēsuke himself might be getting a Watch
Tumblr media
It’s a bit hard to see, but it looks at least similar to the Eruda, featuring a slot to insert Arcs into. But to me personally, it doesn’t looks identical to the Eruda, but who knows.
Note that the events of the manga will probably not be exactly identical to other media either.
--
And lastly, there’s this page:
Tumblr media
(image source)
The text on it says:
さよなら… ジバニャン!? Goodbye... Jibanyan!?
-
Edit: More snapshots of these manga pages have since been posted, giving a better understanding of the future of the manga, which I translated here.
--
And that’s it for things from this month’s issue of Corocoro that I am able to translate. I hope you’ve found it interesting/useful?

I didn’t fully translate the next two parts, but I can still talk a little about them.
First one is this:
Tumblr media
(image source)
A few more Treasure Medals have been shown. Unless I'm wrong, theyre called "Great Fortune Medals", with the individual ones being called something like:
King Fortune (Enma and co.), Oni Fortune, Boss Fortune, Old Fortune (Arachnus and co.), Popular Fortune (Casanuva and co.), B Fortune (Jibanyan B and co.), and Warrior Fortune (Snartle and co.)
Unless I'm completely misunderstanding, it seems these are exclusive to some campaign, but I feel a bit of the text is missing, so I'm not sure.
Tumblr media
(image source)
Adding to that, from what I can tell, this part is talking about how you can have the medals be read by Busters 2 and get coins you can sue to get rare yokai.
--
And that is all I got on this topic for now, I hope you enjoyed it?

Yokai Watch Spoilers (Movie 4) under the cut.
--
Mastertag for pre-release Movie 4 information.
--
This will be translations of information on the fourth Yokai Watch movie, mostly taken from this month's issue of corocoro.
(If you're looking for this month's news on Busters 2, check here and here)
--
Now, while this is Movie 4 news, it does mostly talk about a new item/toy that will be related to it, just so you know.
First we have this page, showing off this new item:
Tumblr media
(image source)
It’s actually a set that includes both a new Watch, and a little sword that comes with it.
But yes, let me translate all the text from this page.
Tumblr media
映画「妖怪ウォッチ」の キーアイテム!!! A Key Item to the "Yōkai Watch" Movie!!!
Tumblr media
DX妖怪ウォッチ 「オーガ」誕生!!! DX Yōkai Watch "Ogre" comes into being!
(Note: This watch model is called オーガ/Ōga in Japanese, which is pretty much always how the English word “ogre” is written in Japanese, hence why I translated it as such. )
Tumblr media
映画のカ���を握る闇から生まれた新ウォッチ!! A new Watch born from darkness, which holds a key to the movie!!
Tumblr media
その正体は、 最強の妖怪を呼ぶ奇跡のウォッチだった!! It is in fact, a miraculous Watch that calls forth the strongest yokai!!
Tumblr media
主人公の 一人 One of the Protagonists
Tumblr media
トウマがあやつる ”憑依” ウォッチ!? A "Possession" Watch, controlled by Touma!?
Tumblr media
トウマが鬼まろから与えられた「鬼眼ギア」。 それが変化して生まれた新ウォッチが、 この「オーガ」だ!! メダルで妖怪を呼び出すのではなく、 自分自身に憑依させ (とりつかせ) るという新しい機能で姿を変えるぞ!! Touma was given the "Kigan Gear" by the Onimaro. And the new Watch that is born from its transformation, is this very "Ogre"! Rather than calling yokai with medals, It will change your appearance, with a new feature where you yourself get possessed (inspirited)!!
(Important Note: I am unsure if this actually refers to you yourself getting possessed and changing your appearance... or the Watch getting possessed and changing its appearance? I can't be sure which is it until I see it in action. Both seem equally possible to me, so please keep this in mind.
Also the Kigan Gear, or “Oni Eye Gear” was first shown of back in august.)
Tumblr media
ベゼルを回して決定! Turn the bezel and decide!
Tumblr media
特定の位置に回して 本体右のボタンを押せ。 Turn it to a specific position, and press the button on the right side.
Tumblr media
盤面を押しこみ憑依! Push in the clock face and begin the possession!
Tumblr media
ウォッチの中心を押すと妖怪が憑依する!! Press the center of the Watch, and start the yokai posession!!
Tumblr media
鬼眼ギアが 主義の心で変化! The Kigan Gear changes with feelings of principles! 
(Note: I'm unsure if I got the "feelings of principles" part right.)
Tumblr media
12月上旬発売 妖聖剣とセット で4536円 Will be released in early december as a set with Yōsei Sword for 4536 yen
(Note: Included this or those looking to purchase it, I guess)
--
The person who's taking these photos didnt take a full shot of this next page, so I edited the seperate shots together, so that hopefully you can see how the layout of this one works better?
Tumblr media
(image source)
While I can read most of the text on this page, there does seem to be a little text missing in the “blindspots” which I can’t read. But it doesn’t seem to be anything major.
So, here’s more translations:
Tumblr media
憑依召喚できるのは
4体の幻魔!!
You can possession-summon
the Four Genma!!
(Note: I have seen the term 幻魔/Genma be used in other media before, but I am unsure if it’s a term from actualy mythology, or if it’s a more modern thing people sometimes use cause it sounds cool. It feels more like the latter, but I don’t know for sure. it is made up of the kanji 幻/gen and 魔/ma, thus you could probably translate it as something like “phantom demons” among other things.)
Tumblr media
4体の幻魔が4つの時刻に宿っているぞ!! 憑依したい幻魔の時刻に、 ウォッチの青い印を合わせよう!! The Four Genma reside in different times of day! Match the Watch's blue mark with the time of day of the Genma who you want to do the possessing!!
Tumblr media
五右衛門 戦闘力が高い、 攻撃型の幻魔!! Goemon An agressive Genma with high combat power!!
(Note: This one is, or is based on  Ishikawa Goemon.)
Tumblr media
弁慶 鉄壁の守りで 仲間たちを守る!! Benkei Protects his companions, with iron-clad defense!!
(Note: This one is, or is based on Musashibō Benkei. You might recall that there is already a yokai based on him, I am unsure if they’re supposed to be the same guy, and like a lot of yokai, he just looks different in this movie’s era, or if they’re different peope based on the same guy?)
Tumblr media
義経 知恵を活かし ピンチを脱出!! Yoshitsune Escapes predicaments using wisdom!!
(Note: This one is, or is based on Minamoto no Yoshitsune.)
Tumblr media
お松 癒やしの妖術で 仲間を回復!! Omatsu Makes companions recover with healing sorcery!!
(Note: This one is, or is based on Omatsu no Kata.)
Tumblr media
幻魔とは何者!?
妖怪の中でもとくに能力が高い正位の存在。 「オーガ」でのみ呼び出せるぞ!!
Who are the Genma!?
Beings whose abilities are of an especially high level, even among yokai!! You can only call them with the "Ogre"!!
Tumblr media
各時刻の位置に、 幻魔の顔のマークが描かれている。 A Genma's mark is drawn on each time of day position.
Tumblr media
零時 Midnight (This is for Goemon)
三時 3 o'clock (This is for Omatsu)
九時 9 o'clock (This is for Benkei)
六時 6 o'clock (This is for Yoshitsune)
Tumblr media
さらに!!!!! Furthermore!!!!!
Tumblr media
我の力を 与えよう!! Receive my power!!
Tumblr media
不動明王召喚!! Summon Fudō Myōō !!
(Note: Fudō Myōō is the Japanese name of a protective deity called Acala, primarily revered in Vajrayana Buddhism. His Japanese name can be broken up into 不動/fudō or “immovable“, 明/myō or “bright”, and 王/ō or “king”, with the明王/myōō or “bright/wise kings” being a certain type of deity. Therefore, one could translate his name as “Wisdom King Fudō” or even “Immovable Wisdom King”.)
Tumblr media
不動明王 最強の戦闘力を持つ妖怪!! その実力は、 エンマ大王すら凌ぐ!? Fudō Myōō The yokai who has the strongest combat power!! Do his abilities even surpass the Great King Enma!?
Tumblr media
本体に付属の妖聖剣を刺すと召喚準備完了!! 引抜いた剣の柄でウォッチの盤面を押し込むと、 不動明王出現を完全再現だ!! If you stab the main device with the Yōsei Sword that comes with it, the preparations for summoning are complete!! When you push in the clock face with the handle of the pulled out sword, the appearance of Fudō Myōō is perfectly recreated!!
(Note: The Yōsei Sword  is called 妖聖剣/Yōsei Ken in Japanese with 剣/ken meaning “sword”, and 妖/yō being the same kanji as in “yōkai”, and聖/sei meaning something like “sage”. I am also not sure what exactly that last line means. Guess I’d have to see it in action.)
Tumblr media
妖聖剣に封印された、 最強の妖怪が姿を現ぞ!! Sealed within the Yōsei Sword, the strongest yokai will appear!
Tumblr media
剣をさして盤面を押しこめ! Push in the clock face with the sword!
Tumblr media
フドウ雷鳴剣をゲット! 付属の妖聖剣のQRコードを3DSソフト「妖怪ウォッチバスターズ2」で読むと、ゲームで フドウ雷鳴剣が手に入る。 激強の武器だぞ!! Get the Fudō Thunder Sword! If you read the QR code of the Yōsei Sword Accessory in "Yokai Watch Busters 2", you will be able to obtain the Fudō Thunder Sword in-game!! It's a powerful weapon!!
(Note: This sword is called "Fudō Raimei Ken" in Japanese, which would literally translate to "Immovable Thunder Sword", but the "Immovable" part clearly is a reference to Fudō Myōō, hence my current translation of "Fudō Thunder Sword". I am unsure if the Yōsei Sword is supposed to be the same sword or a related sword. Maybe that'll be a plot point?)
Before we go onto the next page, note that you can see this “Ogre” model and the Yōsei Sword in slightly better quality on bandai’s website right now.

This next bit appears to be a large poster sized two-page spread, but again, there does not seem to be a full shot of it, this is about the best I can manage when trying to piece them together:
Tumblr media
(image sources: 1, 2, 3, and 4)
Sadly, there is a lot of text on this one that I can’t quite make out, and likely some missing text too, but I will translate what I can.
Tumblr media
史上最大の 豪華さ!!
入場者

(Note: I didn’t translate it, but this bit also says that when Busters 2 comes out on the 7th of December, it will cost like 5184 yen.)
Little interlude, the official website of the movie has also udpated slightly, showing off the bonuses you will receive when going to see the movie (if you’re the right age):
Tumblr media
This seems to mostly just say the same thing, so I didn't translate it, too.
Unless I’m mistaken, this seems to be a "first come first serve" kinda deal, which is likely why they're limiting it to children.
Tumblr media
みなさんに さしあげますよ〜 We're offering it to all of you~
Tumblr media
This is a part I sadly can't really translate, because of how incomplete the text is, but from the parts that I can read, it seems like it just goes over similar stuff as the previous segments on the Four Genma.
Tumblr media
世界を破壊する 究極の悪!! The Ultimate Evil destroying the world!!
Tumblr media
世界を守るため 共闘!? Fighting together to protect the world!?
Tumblr media
史上最大の敵!!!? The greatest enemy in history!!!?
Tumblr media
鬼王羅仙復活!? Revival of the Oni King Rasen!?
(Note: I translated this based on the idea that Rasen/羅仙 is his name, but I am not 100% sure? This might be a preexisting term, but if it is, I haven't been able to find out its exact meaning.)
Tumblr media
人間の「悪意」を食らう鬼の王!! 何者かにより封印が解かれ姿を現す!! その力は絶大で、 強力な妖怪が相手でも、 その者が持つ「闇」につけ込み支配下に落としてしまう。 The king of Oni, who devours the "malice" of humans!! Released from his seal by someone, he shows himself!!
Tumblr media
This is another part I can't make out, thus I can't translate it, but based on the image, I presume it is possible that this part talks about the information that was already included in an update of the official website in septermber, which I translated at the end of this post. Though it is still possible this includes some new information, but I can't be certain.
Tumblr media
ナツメ 妖怪を召喚し、 シャドウサイドに変身させる 妖怪ウォッチ・エルダに選ばれた少女!! Natsume A girl who has been chosen by the Yokai Watch Eruda, which can summon yokai, and transform them into their shadow sides!!
(Note: The Yokai Watch Eruda is a new Watch that was first shown off back in July.)
Tumblr media

Tumblr media

Tumblr media
うなれ フドウ雷鳴剣!! Roar, Fudō Thunder Sword!!
Tumblr media
I am sad to say that because of how much text is cropped of, I can't translate the text talking about Akinori here.

This is it for actual translations, but there is one more thing I want to mention. An image of the group shot shown in the part I translated above can now also be seen on the official website, so here is the actual full group:
Tumblr media
And if you are completely lost right now and have no idea who any of these people are, I can give a little roll call of who everyone is, so keep reading if you want to know:
Tumblr media
This is Touma, a 13 year old boy, one of the main protagonists of the movie.
Tumblr media
This is Natsume, a 13 year old girl, one of the main protagonists of the movie.
Tumblr media
This is Akinori, a boy who is a member of a family that  appearently uses yōki  (yokai energy) for divination, and one of the main protagonists of the movie.
Tumblr media
These are Ogu, Togu and Mogu. They are "Onimaro", which is apparently some kind of "yokai virus".
Tumblr media
This is Whisper, the way he will appear in this movie.
Tumblr media
These are Kaodeka Oni, or "Huge Face Oni", humans who have been inspirited and transformed by Onimaro.
Tumblr media
This person has been labelled as "Onimaro Leader", not much else is known about them.
Tumblr media
This is Kyubi, note that this image is the first time he has been shown off, so not much else is known.
Tumblr media
This is Komasan, the way he will appear in this movie, specifically while he is in his "Shadow Side" form.
Tumblr media
This is Jibanyan, the way he will appear in this movie, specifically while he is in his "Shadow Side" form.
Tumblr media
This is Papa Bolt, the way he will appear in this movie, specifically while he is in his "Shadow Side" form.

Tumblr media
This is "Micchii" who, according to early magazine information, is actually Slimamander while he is in his "Light Side" form.
Tumblr media
These are the Four Genma who where shown off in this magazine.
Tumblr media
These are the Great King Enma and the Kaira the Snake King. Enma is known to us as the king of the Yokai World, and Kaira is appearently someone who is fighting him for the throne.
Tumblr media
This is Nurarihyon, who is Enma's aide.
Tumblr media
This is Fudō Myōō, who was shown off in this magazine.
Tumblr media
Going by this magazine, I'd say this is the titular Oni King, who may be called Rasen, if I didn't translate it wrong. Not 100% sure here.
Tumblr media
These are Kitarō and his friends, from the popular series GeGeGe no Kitarō, which will crossover with the Yokai Watch universe in this movie. The extent of that is yet unknown.

Okay, now that's definitely it from me, for now. I hope you enjoyed this/found this to be helpful?

New Yo-kai Watch Movie Information
Tumblr media
The new Yo-kai Watch movie now has a website.
In addition to it, this site has some new information on its story and the like, some of which I will translate below.
Of course this will contain spoilers, so head under the cut for more.
First is most of this text:
This mostly talks about the game’s story and why they chose to make it, kind of.
Tumblr media
(Translators note: Gonna paraphrase a bit of this first part)
(...) but, just like in the TV Anime, the protagonist (of the previous movies) was consistently the fifth-grader Keita. However, in this forth installment, the protagonists are three people, boys and a girl, that are different from him. Furthermore, it is said that this work will depict a story that takes place 30 years after the story of the generation of Keita and the others.
Tumblr media
Furthermore, familiar yōkai such as Jibanyan and Whisper also appear, slightly different from before, as yōkai with two modes called "Light Side" and "Shadow Side." The creator of the 'Yo-kai Watch' series, Akihiro Hino, who is also the excecutive producer, original author, and writer for the 4th movie (Translator’s Note: I am not 100% sure about all these things Hino supposedly does for the movie, as I am not super familiar with industry terms in japanese, dont take these titles literally) had this to say about this huge change: "With this movie I am challenging new possibilities for Yo-kai Watch. All of you who have been enjoying Yo-kai Watch until now will be confused by changes such as "Shadow Sides". However, I am confident that you will enjoy this new view of the world."
Tumblr media
With this movie, more than ever before, be prepared for scary things that will give you chills, laughing heartily, and heated, fierce battles. Moreover, Hino stated: "Using Yo-kai Watch as a theme, we have created a 'completely new horror-comedy' that both adults and children will like.", revealing his aim for a work of entertainment that won't just be enjoyed by children, but adults as well.
Tumblr media
The main characters of this work are planned to be three people, Natsume, a carefree 13 year-old girl, who remembers being saved by "something" when she almost drowned in a river. Touma, a 13 year-old boy who feels lonely, always being alone since both his parents are busy with work. Akinori, the eldest son of the 'Arihoshi Family' that has used yōki for divination for generations. 
Tumblr media
Movie Yo-kai Watch Shadow Side Resurrection of the Oni King, Story: Once, there was a boy who possessed a mysterious bracelet (Watch) that could control yōkai. However, when the boy became an adult, he became unable to see yōkai. Having fulfilled its role, the bracelet (Watch) was buried beyond time and space. Thirty years later... With the end of a calm everyday life, and the approaching of a comet, the day of destiny begins. A terrifying yōkai virus "Onimaro" is infecting people's malice (translators note: or maybe "infecting people with malice") and keeps on growing indefinitely... With a new Yo-kai Watch in hand, can the bonds between humans and yōkai be returned!?
Next, specific Character Information from the Gallery:

And that’s all I know about this movie as of the writing of this post, except for some minor details from the corocoro leaks.
