The story starts thirty years after the anime. As Nate grew up he found he could no longer see yo-kai. His yo-kai watch has since been buried between space and time. Everything was peaceful until thirty years afterwards a comet appeared in the sky. An evil yo-kai virus has spread that caused the people of Springdale to become malicious. Luckily, a few teenagers have been chosen as the owners of the newest yo-kai watches.
