Yo-Kai Become Human Heroes in Yo-kai Academy Y Anime Film Trailer
It's about to get spooky, because a new trailer has been published for Eiga Yo-Kai Watch Jam: Yo-kai Gakuen Y - Neko wa HERO ni Nareru ka ("Yo-kai Watch Jam the Movie: Yo-Kai Academy Y - Can a Cat be a Hero?"), the sixth installment in the Yo-Kai Watch theatrical film franchise which features Yo-Kai reinterpreted as humans studying at an elite academy overrun by supernatural mysteries.

Jiba’s squad as seen in the opening of Yokai Academy Y: Mera Raido (Blazion), Koma Sandayuu (Komasan), Fubuki Himekawa (Blizzaria) and Ryuusuke Kyubi (Kyubi), with their respective transformations. Not shows is Tamada Matarou ‘cus he can’t transform, sucks to be him whoever he’s supposed to be.
So remember how Komajiro was a frog in Shadowside? Now he’s an armadillo. Deal with it. He fuses with human-Komasan to become a giant astronaut robot that I suspect is meant to resemble USApyon.
Human-Blazion fuses with some normal-human-looking yokai to become what I assume is supposed to be a reference to Lie-in Heart (as well as the tokusatsu series Kaiketsu Lion-Maru).
The human version of Komasan uses a yo-kai watch to fuse with the armadillo version of his little brother Komajiro to become an armored astronaut robot thing that kicks ass (in the PuniPuni game).
When I first saw this design I assumed it was supposed to be a version of USApyon but apparently not.
