Yokai Watch Corocoro Leaks (September 2018)

Corocoro leaks have been coming out, so I will translate under the readmore.

Beware of spoilers, naturally!

This month’s issue has some neat new yokai revealed.

It contains information about:

5th Yokai Watch Movie

Yokai Arks & Merchandise (revealing some new yokai)

Some Yokai Watch World stuff (mostly won’t translate that part)

As always, I will do my best to translate any new information I can make out.

Before we start the actual translations, let me mention the Yokai Watch World stuff in this issue.

It probably won’t help anyone who reads this, but it had a map of were in Japan certain yokai are going to appear, from what I understand.

It also showed off a new special dark version of Nyan-kishi (Sir Nyancelot) called Kuro Nyan-shiki. From what I understand, you need a code from Corocoro to get him?

And lastly, there will be autumn-themed variants of various yokai. It’s been a very common thing for the game to feature new variants for any sort of occasion so far.

First we have these pages:

They introduce and talk about new “Godside Forms” and the new Watch that can make yokai transform into them.

ともだち妖怪たちが最強の姿へ！！ゴッドサイド妖怪に神变化！！ Yokai friends turn into Godsides, their strongest forms!! Divine Transformations!

映画第５弾の超目玉情報！妖怪たちの究極サイドを目撃せ！！ Super special information about the 5th movie! Witness the ultimate Side of the yokai!!

妖怪ウォッチエルダ神の力で妖怪が”神”になる！！ With the power of the Yokai Watch Eruda Jin, yokai turn into 'gods'!!

(Note: The kanji 神 in the name of this Watch means “God”, and is specifically pronounced as “Jin” here.)

シンとともに活躍するイツキが使う「妖怪ウォッチエルダ神」。この新ウォッチによって、かわいい姿のともだち妖怪たちが、神々しい最強の姿へ变化するぞ！！神の力を得たゴッドサイド妖怪がくり広げる衝撃のバトルに期待せよ！！ The "Yokai Watch Eruda Jin" is used by Itsuki, who plays an active role alongside Shin. With this new Watch, the yokai friends turn from their cute forms into their strongest forms!! Expect for shocking battles to unfold with the divine powers of the Godside yokai!!

主人公シンは妖怪ウォッチエルダ零でともだち妖怪を召喚！！ The protagonist Shin summons yokai friends with the Yokai Watch Eruda Zero!!

ゴッドサイドに变化する妖怪を召喚するのは、「エルダ零」を使うシンの役目！！シンとイツキの親友コンビが協力して、妖魔界でくり広げられるバトル大会を戦うことに！！ Shin's role is to use the Yokai Watch Eruda Zero to summon the yokai that transform into Godside!! With Shin and Itsuki's best friend combo, they fight in the battles that unfold in the Yomakai's tournament!!

これが妖怪ウォッチエルダ神！！！

神の力をコントロールできる妖怪ウォッチ。カバーに描かれたオオカミの姿に秘密！？

This is the Yokai Watch Eruda Jin!!!

A Yokai Watch that can control the power of gods. The appearance of the wolves on the cover hides a secret?!

(Note: This is just me speculating, but I can’t help but notice that the two wolves seems to resemble the Koma brothers?)

猫又が变化！

猫王バステト

古代エジプト王族のような姿の、偉大な猫妖怪！！ Nekomata transforms!

The Cat King Bastet

A great cat yokai, resembling the ancient royal families of egypt!!

(Note: Name and inspiration seem clearly taken from the Egyptian goddess Bastet)

河童が变化！

河童王サゴジョウ

頼りない河童が、究極の戦闘力を手に入れた姿だ！！ Kappa transforms!!

The Kappa King Sagojō

The unreliable Kappa has obtained the ultimate fighting power!!

(Note: Name and inspiration likely taken from the Japanese name of the Journey to the West character Shā Wùjìng, who is often depicted as a kappa in Japanese.)

座敷童子が变化！

天狗王クラマ

ナルシストな美少年妖怪が、風をあやつる天狗に！！ Zashikiwarashi transforms!

The Tengu King Kurama

The narcissistic pretty boy yokai turns into a tengu that commands the winds!!

(Note: Name and inspiration likely taken from Mount Kurama, said to have been the home of Sōjōbō, the mythical king of the tengu.)

And now we have these pages:

(image source)

These pages introduce a whole bunch of Arks, which will be included with the 3rd Yokai Ark set.

First we go over the upper right, focusing on the Arc of Zashiki-warashi.

黄金&レジェンド妖怪アークを見逃すな！！

お宝ぞろいの第３弾の中でも注目なのがこの２本！！どちらもただ事ではない輝きだ！！

Don't miss out on the Golden and Legendary Yokai Arks!!

Even among the 3rd set that's full of treasures, these two are especially notable!! Both of them are nothing ordinary, they are shining!!

ついに発覚！！ ”最後”の黄金妖怪アーク！！４本存在する黄金の妖怪アーク１つ。「妖怪ウォッチ４」で詠みこむと、スゴいことが起こるとのウワサが？！ Discovered at last!! The 'final' Golden Yokai Ark!! This is one of the four Golden Yokai Arks that exist. Supposedly something great will happen when you use it in Yokai Watch 4?!

座敷童子古い家に住む子ども妖怪と思いきや、実は美少年！！ Zashiki-warashi (Gnomey) Thought to be a child yokai living in old houses, but is actually a pretty boy!!

(Note: Zashiki-warashi is the same kind of yokai that was called “Gnomey” in English. This specific Zashiki-warashi was previously shown off in other pre-release materials.)

Next I’ll go over the upper left side, showing off Bushinyan’s Ark.

伝説再び！！レジェンド妖怪アーク発見参！！

あのブシニャンが妖怪アークになって帰ってきた！！黄金の妖怪アークとは、またひと味ちがった輝きを放つ、超激レアランクの１本だ！！

The legend returns!! Take part in the discovery of a Legendary Yokai Ark!!

Bushinyan himself returns as a Yokai Ark!! It is slightly different from Golden Yokai Arks, it shines and is of the Super Extreme Rare Rank!!

ブシニャン伝説の刀で的を一刀両断するレジェンド武士妖怪！！ Bushinyan (Shogunyan) A Legendary samurai yokai who cuts his enemies in two with a single stroke of his legendary katana!!

DXゲンブ法天斧&妖怪アークセット登場！！

剣と斧の２つのモードを持つ、玄武の妖聖剣！！魁メラメライオンのアークも付属だ。

New DX Genbu Hōtenfu & Yokai Ark Set!!

Genbu's Yōseiken, which has a sword and an axe mode!! Sakigake Merameraion's Ark is included as well.

(Notes:

ゲンブ法天斧/Genbu Hōtenfu means something like “Genbu Lawful Heaven Axe”. Genbu is the Japanese name of Xuánwǔ.

This is the third Yōseiken toy to be released. You can see the images showing off how you can turn the sword into an axe by pushing up the hilt.

Like the Yokai Ark Holder and the Suzaku Sōtenzan, it comes with an Ark that is the special form of a pre-existing yokai.

From what I understand, 魁/Sakigake refers to something like leading, being a leader, charging ahead, etc.

The set will appearently be released around November, for 1382 Yen.)

Tsuchigumo (Arachnus)

A traditional yokai of honorable origins, who has been active for a very long time.

コマじろう

コマさんの弟。口ぐせは「もんゲーロー！」。

Komajiro

Komasan's younger brother. His catchphrase is "Mongero!"

(Note: “Mongero!” is a combination of “gero”, which refers to a frogs croaking, and “monge!” meaning something like “amazin’“, which is the catchphrase of the Koma brothers in the original Yokai Watch.)

雷オトン

怒ると雷を落とすガンコ親父妖怪。

Rai-oton (Papa Bolt)

That’s it for this month’s issue of the main Corocoro, but I also saw some interesting bits from the most recent issue of Corocoro Ichiban.

You can see them right here, it bascially shows off most of the Arks from the now released 2nd Ark set.

I don’t have the time to translate all of this, it’s mostly old information anyway, so I will just go over points of interest.

Most notably this seems to confirm that some of the previously unseen symbols are indeed meant for tribes.

Shuten-dōji and Dōketsu are both of the “Oni Tribe”, represented by this symbol:

In the past, the term Oni Tribe had been used to refer to oni yokai in general, without it being an actual tribe. But this time around it really seems to be one.

And Kaira is of the “Izana Tribe”, represented by this symbol:

The Onimaro Trio is still classified as being of the “Kaima Tribe”, called “Wicked Tribe” in English. The Onimaro were also called Kaima in the movie and classified as such in Puni Puni.

In this case, this is the symbol used for them:

I think it’s still possible these are going to be “special” tribes with only a few Yokai in them, like the Wicked, Enma and Hagure tribes were in the past.

ロボニャン００ Robonyan 00 (read: Robonyan Double O)

ツクモノ族 Tsukumono Tribe

ロボット掃除機から生まれた妖怪。 A yokai born from a robot vacuum cleaner.

(Note: It could also be seen on the merchandise website, but this Ark reveals that Robonyan 00′s Lightside is indeed another Robonyan 00, instead of Almighty-kun from the episode. Though the robot is alluded to in the description.)
