Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This spun directly from the Yo-kai Watch Jam mobile game, making it one of the rare anime films based on a gacha property that actually got theatrical release in Japan.
Jinpei's voice actor Mutsumi Tamura also voiced Conan in Detective Conan—so this is basically what happens when a detective protagonist gets isekai'd into a monster-collecting high school.

That transformation sequence reminds me of Digimon Frontier. Can't wait to see the English subs when it comes out.

0:45 me (Chris King): Ok. So let me get this straight: the kid places a medal in the Yo-kai watch,turns the top part of the watch so the the "y" mark is upright, and he wears the Yo-kai he is trying to summon as armor or something? That's......................................so awesome I can't complain about it.
