Plot

The series is set before the events of Shadowside with Wazzat wiping Nate Adams's memories clean. New changes include Nate owning a Yo-kai Watch Arcane and the use of Yo-kai Keystones. The show also retains its gag comedy and humor from the original series. The new series, which is more comedy focused than the original, introduces a new form of Yo-Kai, Onechanside. Onechanside Yo kai are summoned by inserting a Yo-Kai Keystone into the Yo-Kai Watch Arcane and turning it leftwards.

Music

The opening theme is Kera Kera Ho Song (ケラケラホーのうた, Kerakerahou no uta) by Hiroki Maekawa, and the ending theme is Yo-kai Exercise No.1 ~Continue~ (ようかい体操第一 ～つづき～, Yōkai Taisō Daiichi -Tsuzuki-) by Kaede☆ which is the remix of the first ending of the original series.
