Taking place 30 years after the events of the original Youkai Watch TV series. There was once a 11 year old boy named Keita Amano who held a wristwatch that could command Youkai, he would make friends with the Youkai and fulfill a great many deeds. But when the boy grew up, he lost his ability to see Youkai. And as for the wristwatch that could control Youkai, its existence threatened to disturb the balance between human and Youkai worlds, so it was cast away into oblivion beyond time and space.
Soon, the story of the Youkai controlling wristwatch became but a legend. But then, something took place after many, many years had passed: an epidemic Youkai virus known as Onimaro started affecting people with malevolent intentions and is spreading indefinitely, turning them into Kaodeka Oni and causing chaos throughout the city.
With the end near, only the ones chosen by a new Youkai Watch can stand up against the upcoming threat and would save both Youkai and humans from certain destruction.

Where it came from
Released in December 2017, Youkai Watch: Shadowside - Oni-ou no Fukkatsu served as the fourth feature film in the multimedia franchise. It marked a significant departure for the series, shifting from the lighthearted tone of earlier entries to a darker, more mature narrative style. The story takes place thirty years after the original series, introducing a new cast and incorporating the shadowside transformations, which reimagined the familiar yo-kai as more menacing, powerful entities.
The film was directed by Kenji Ushiro at Oriental Light and Magic, with the creative vision aimed at evolving the brand alongside its aging primary demographic. By introducing a grittier aesthetic and a more complex supernatural threat, the production sought to bridge the gap between long-time fans and an older audience. Upon its release, it was noted for its departure from the established visual identity of the franchise, successfully pivoting toward an action-oriented genre while maintaining the core mythology of the series.
