Plot
One night, the evil Yo-kai Kin and Gin steal the Yo-kai Watch from Nate Adams to help their master Dame Dedtime prevent humans and Yo-kai from being friends. He then encounters Meganyan, who tells him that Yo-Kai are real. He and the crew head to Nate's grandmother, encounter a shadow, and chase it, but to no avail. Meganyan returns, asking to pull out the cork in his body—the cork that suppresses his energy. Nate decides not to pull it out, and asks Jibanyan & Whisper to pull it out for him, but to no avail. Nate pulls it out, and he and the crew get covered in pink smoke. He finds help from the Yo-kai Hovernyan - and uses a time stone to take Nate, Whisper, and Jibanyan back in time 60 years to when the Yo-kai Watch was first invented by Nate's own grandfather Nathaniel while he was a kid. Dame Dedtime gets word of this, and tries a plan to push the human world farther from the Yo-kai world. Together, the two boys battle Dame Dedtime and her evil Wicked Yo-kai minions to save the world from her evil plans.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) We finally get to see how the Yo-kai Watch was created and who created the watch, which in fact, (spoilers) is actually created by Nate's grandfather Nathaniel.
 * 2) It stays very faithful to the anime and stays incredibly faithful to the original video game the film was based on.
 * 3) Absolutely well done voice acting for every single character, especially to every single Yo-Kai and other characters as well, especially Johnny Yong Bosch's performance as Hovernyan.
 * 4) The humor is pretty good, especially the cameos with Kumamon and the jokes that take a jab at the film's more serious plot than the show and games themselves.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The movie can get quite dark at times, even if it's supposed to be intentional.
 * 2) The infamous scene where Dame Dedtime farts in front of the allies to summon one of her minions.

Reception
The film received positive reviews from critics and fans of the anime and video games, with many considering it to be one of the best video game film adaptations ever made, on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 80% based on 5 critic reviews. In Japan, the film was a big box office success, even surpassing Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
