5
6	[[folder:Squiddilius Mckracken]]
7	!! Chairman Squiddilius [=McKraken=] (Chairman Ikakamone Sokamone)/Squisker (Minister Gesohigale)
8	->'''Voiced by:''' Naoki Bandou (Japanese), Khary Payton (English)
9	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/squiddiliusmckraken.png]]
10
11	The BigBad of the first game, who took control of the Yo-Kai world after King Enma passed away (Yo-kai live a long time, but they can still die). Mc Kraken Is a squid-themed Yo-Kai that dreams of taking over the human world with an army of monochrome Yo-Kai destroying those that will go against him. After defeating Dr. Maddiman, Draggie's crystal ball shows the heroes addressing his legion, leading to confronting him in the Yo-Kai world itself [[spoiler:and later at the sacred tree, where he transforms into a Grotesque OneWingedAngel form]].
12
13	[[spoiler:Within the Infinite Inferno, you get to meet his ancestor, Squisker, who is a tougher version of his second form.]]
14	----
15	* BenevolentBoss: Towards his Yo-Kai underlings, possibly to the point that the ones fully taken in by his charm are the monochrome Yo-Kai that have such UndyingLoyalty. He's even willing to offer Whisper a chance to help him rule the world after he goes OneWingedAngel.
16	* BunnyEarsLawyer: His [[FunnyOctopus goofy demeanor and lame puns]] aside, he was organizing a take-over since about the second half of the story mode, and managed to run the Yo-Kai World under a Squid-fisted rule before then as well.
17	* EvenEvilHasStandards: As much of a dictator as he was and how unnecessary his cause was, he still wanted what he thought was best for Yo-Kai everywhere, had his monochrome soldiers hang out with the populace in the Yo-Kai World, and even helped [[PetTheDog clean the gates with the Oni Guardians]].
18	* HeelFaceTurn: After the first game he pays a fee and later runs a Sushi and Tempura shop to atone for his crimes.
19	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:After being beaten the first time, he manages to break the seals between the two worlds, absorbing their aura to become a crazy-looking head monster.]]
20	* PetTheDog: The credits show him helping the Onis clean off one of the three gates with a towel and being annoyed at them fumbling about.
21	* PromotedToPlayable: The Nintendo Swtich port of Yo-Kai Watch 1 includes a code that allows him to be befriended in Yo-Kai Watch 4. Now he can battle alongside Nate and the others.
22	* PungeonMaster: He REALLY loves to make puns based on cephalopods, to the point that he ''really'' tries too hard to work it in every other sentence and bugs Whisper [[spoiler:even as he's dying]].
23	* TentacledTerror: A squid Yokai that tries to take over the world. He fits the bill alright.
24	* WeCanRuleTogether: Towards the end of the game, [[spoiler:he offers Whisper and the other Yo-Kai a chance to rule the world with him. Naturally, they declined]].
25	* WorkOffTheDebt: [[spoiler:After the events of the first game]], he was forced to work off a massive amount of money for his crimes.

27	[[/folder]]
28
29	!Yo-Kai Watch 2
30
31	[[folder:Dame Dedtime]]
32	!! Dame Dedtime (Tokio Ubaune)
33	[[quoteright:343:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e06c98fc.jpg]]
34	->'''Voiced by:''' Kataoka Ainosuke VI (Japanese), Alicyn Packard (English)
35
36	The main villain of ''Yo-Kai Watch 2'', a Giant Yo-Kai that takes the form of an old, somewhat regal woman who can cause tremors with her screams of anger. She wishes harm on humans for a mysterious reason, utilizing time travel so as to stop the protagonist from receiving the Watch in the first place and potentially thwarting her.
37
38	[[spoiler:When she was human, she was falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to life in prison, and died of old age there. After revealing this under Tattletell's possession, she goes OneWingedAngel and becomes Dame Demona (Subete Ubaune), an even huger, monstrous version of herself.]]
39	----
40	* BigBad: Of the second game.
41	* {{Catchphrase}}: "Dun dun DUUUUNNNNNNN!"
42	* FlunkyBoss: Dame Dedtime can create Wicked Yo-Kai to aid her in battle by stealing the levels of one of your Yo-Kai. The created Wicked Yo-Kai will be around the same level as the Yo-Kai who had their level "stolen."
43	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:In ''Psychic Specters''[='=] postgame, you can visit her in her cell in the Infinite Inferno and, after a sidequest, give her a special item that signified the bond between her and her lover back when she was human. The realization that her lover never stopped loving her is enough to purify her, turning her into a friend of Nate/Katie and teaching them how to befriend Wicked Tribe Yokai.]]
44	* ImpossibleThief: As her Japanese name indicates, her ultimate goal is to steal ''everything'' from humanity [[spoiler:just like everything was taken from her when she was human]]. This reflects in-game where her main tactic is to steal aspects of the game from the player. Initially she can steal a Yo-Kai's level, both downgrading it to level one and allowing her to summon Wicked Yo-Kai of said stolen level to aid her in battle. [[spoiler:Her second form can instead steal individual stats, attacks, options on the Yo-Kai Watch, and even Soultimate moves.]]
45	* {{Irony}}: She's heavily associated with clock motifs. [[spoiler:Her sidequest in ''Psychic Specters'' reveals the crime she got accused of that led her to die in prison was over a broken clock.]]
46	* LargeHam: Prone to grandiose declarations, and her catchphrase is delivered bombastically.
47	* MeaningfulName: Her name can be read as "Time Thief". [[spoiler:The name of her second form can be read as "Everything Thief".]] Her English name, meanwhile, sounds like 'dead time' [[spoiler:reflecting how she lost everything after being falsely accused, dying of old age in prison, and why she wants to do the same to humanity]].
48	* YouCantThwartStageOne: As soon as the movie starts, she's changed history by manipulating events in the past, erasing the Yo-Kai Watch and people's memories. It's only when the heroes time travel themselves that her grand scheme slowly begins to unravel.

51	[[folder:Kin, Gin, and Bronzlow]]
52	!! Kin, Gin, and Bronzlow (Do)
53	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yo_kai_watch_kin_and_gin.png]]
54	[[caption-width-right:350:Kin and Gin]]
55	->'''Kin is voiced by:''' Vanilla Yamazaki (Japanese), Creator/MelissaHutchison (English)
56	->'''Gin is voiced by:''' Creator/MikaKanai (Japanese), Jenn Wong (English)
57	->'''Bronzlow is voiced by:''' Naoki Bandou (Japanese), Paul Greenberg (English)
58
59	Three mysterious Yo-kai from the second set of games who work under their Mistress, Dame Dedtime. Using a giant clock they are able to summon to travel through time, the three continuously send the main characters back through time to try and change events so that Nate/Katie never got the Yo-Kai watch, and therefore not interfere with their own plans.
60
61	Kin and Gin are twins (Kin wears red, Gin wears blue), and Bronzlow is their younger brother who never speaks.
62	----
63
64	* CoDragons: Kin and Gin in particular, Bronzlow seems to be more of a strange third-wheel than anything else, unless he stays behind with Dame Dedtime to carry out things in their time.
65	* DreadfulMusician: One of Bronzlow's attacks in his battle is to sing, lowering your yokai's stats.
66	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The three siblings genuinely care for each other, and this ties into gameplay as well. Hit one of the sisters enough times, and the other will receive a power boost so she can hurt you even more in revenge. Attack Bronzlow at all? Both sisters get mad and power up to avenge him.
67	* EvilOldFolks: All three of them are elderly, and they will harrass the heroes multiple times throughout the game to help further Dame Dedtime's schemes.
68	* FeelingTheirAge: Everytime Bronzlow attacks, he has a small chance of [[EpicFail stumbling over]], allowing you to attack him.
69	* GrievousBottleyHarm: One of Bronzlow’s attacks in his fight.
70	* TheHeavy: For the whole of ''2'' and the time-travel plots of the anime leading into TheMovie, they're the ones actively doing their mistress's dirty work while Dedtime lurks in her factory lair.
71	* NeverMessWithGranny: Kin and Gin may be old, but each one is still capable of bringing the hurt with their magic and inspiriting.
72	* NiceJobFixingItVillain:
73	** Kin and Gin inspirit two boys to bully Nathaniel's friend in order to break Nathaniel's spirit. However, this ends up motivating Nathaniel to become a hero so he can protect his friends.
74	** After their defeat, Kin and Gin tell Bronzlow to whip out a time stone to reverse their defeat. Bronzlow instead brings out a [[TimeStandsStill pause stone]] and drops it, [[AndIMustScream freezing the three of them for all eternity]].
75	* OptionalBoss: Bronzlow, who is fought in a sidequest in the games.
76	* TerribleTrio: The three siblings work together to carry out Dame Dedtime's schemes, though Bronzlow only gets involved after the main campaign is over.
77	* TheQuietOne: Bronzlow in the movie, to the point that the heroes are genuinely ''surprised'' to hear that he has a name at all in TheMovie. The manga gives him some internal thoughts and he has some speaking lines in the game.
78	* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:Their final fate. After failing to stop Nate/Katie from purifying Dame Dedtime, Bronzlow accidentally breaks their time stones, trapping them in a stasis prison.]]
79	* WeaksauceWeakness: The giant clock that they control to reverse time can be [[spoiler:easily made to fall apart by spraying water on it. Luckily for them (but unfortunately for the heroes), Bronzlow knows how to fix it]].

83	!Yo-Kai Watch Blasters
84
85	[[folder:Whisped Cream]]
86	!!Whisped Cream (Whismellow Man)
87	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whisped_cream_1.png]]
88
89	The main antagonist of Yo-kai Watch Blasters, Whisped Cream is a large Boss Yo-kai resembling Whisper [[spoiler:which was behind turning three Nokos into an Slimamander, and crashed the King of Blasters tournament to seize and depower all the competing teams (except the heroes, who were coincidentally busy fighting Mass Mutterer and thus did not have time to get to the arena). He first appeared 60 years ago and was fought by the Blasters' Legend Team in the Infinite Inferno, and lost most of his power there, promising vengeance thereafter.]] Notably, he's the prime example of a Yo-kai looking ''very'' different in the games, as he resembles the [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} Stay Puft Marshmallow Man]] in Japan, and had to be reworked in both artwork AND 3D game model (except in ''Wibble Wobble'') to avoid copyright issues; in Western territories he resembles Whisper crossed with Franchise/{{Godzilla}}.
90	----
91
92	* CulturalCrossReference: Of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, originally, as it's obvious for the name, and the theme when plays in his Boss Battle. Naturally, to avoid copyright issues, was reworked for localization.
93	* TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler:Even after being defeated by the heroes, he nonchalantly stands up through absorbing his Cream Pufts. Cue Robonyan 28 punching him out to the moon and gettin holed-up.]]
94	* FlunkyBoss: In both of his battle stages, he summons several Cream Pufts which can be beaten and drop oni Orbs.
95	* {{Notzilla}}: He became this when the game was localized in western territories to avoid copyright issues.
96	* YouDontLookLikeYou: A Regional localization example. Only if you're aware of the original Japanese release would note that he originally looked like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, as the localization changed him to vaguely resemble Franchise/{{Godzilla}} to avoid copyright issues.
97

99
100	!Yo-Kai Watch 3
101	[[folder:The Ghoulfather]]
102	!!The Ghoulfather (Gogogo Godfather)
103	[[quoteright:261:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ggggf.png]]
104	->'''Voiced by:''' Kensuke Sato(Japanese), Edward Bosco(English)
105
106	The main antagonist of the final installment in the Yo-Kai Watch trilogy, ''Yo-Kai Watch 3'', Ghoulfather is the head of the mafia in the Yo-Kai World. His form takes the shape of a pink skinned man wearing a red suit and fedora. [[spoiler:He was banished from the Yo-Kai World 555 years ago by Ancient Enma to space but later returned by taking a UFO with him. Using the the power source of the UFO, the UFO Stone, it allows his power of making dreams reality even stronger.]] His goal is to reshape the world to one of his dreams.
107	----
108
109	* AffablyEvil: For someone who is the main villain of the third game, he's a fan of Next [=HarMEOWny=] to the point where he created a replica of their stage. He's also well mannered when talking.
110	* AllTheOtherReindeer: [[spoiler:As a kid growing up he had the rare ability to see Yo-Kai. No one believed him when he said he saw mysterious creatures and was viewed as creepy and shunned by everyone. Things didn't go well for him even when he became a Yo-Kai as he still was viewed as an oddball since the Yo-Kai there didn't believe in [=UFOs=].]]
111	* BenevolentBoss: He treats the members of the Ghoulfamily pretty well which is why they're loyal to him
112	* BadassFingersnap: He often snaps his fingers to instruct his Ghoulies to do his bidding and even turn others into his minions.
113	* BigBad: Of Yo-Kai Watch 3.
114	* {{Catchphrase}}: "Badda Bing!"
115	* TheCorrupter: His inspiriting ability allows him to turn other Yo-Kai and even humans into Ghoulies that act as his minions.
116	* TheDon: He is the head of the his family which consists of the entire mafia of the Yo-Kai World.
117	* [[spoiler:DragonsAreDemonic: He absorbs the power of the Pyramid's gold to turn into an evil dragon.]]
118	* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is incredibly gruff and low pitched.
119	* AFatherToHisMen: He cares deeply about the members of his Ghoulfamily like they are an actual family. It not surprising he cares deeply about them since unlike [[spoiler:his parents who abandoned him,]] they stayed loyal and stuck by him to the end.
120	* FedoraOfAsskicking: He wears a white fedora on his head and is more than capable of putting up a fight.
121	* FlunkyBoss: He can summon Ghoulies to assist him battle and act as his shields during attacks.
122	* GoldenSuperMode: [[spoiler:After exploring the sixth dungeon of the Pyramid of Clu, he is revealed to be alive and was hiding in Buck's UFO stone. He later absorbs the power of the golden room to become Goldfather.]]
123	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Being stranded in space in a UFO all alone for about 555 years will do that. It's especially noticeable [[spoiler: when Agent X is defeated for the last time, he is completely unfazed by that despite him being his closest friend and he trusted him with his info on his past.]]
124	* GravityMaster: [[spoiler:As Don Spiracy, one of his main attacks is to lift up all three of the player's Yo-Kai high into the air before slamming all of them into the ground.]]
125	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He's ultimately defeated by the same UFO stone he exploited to get stronger.]]
126	* LargeHam: Like all main villains in the series, Ghoulfather is no stranger to speaking bombastically, especially when saying his catchphrase.
127	* {{Leitmotif}}: Vs. The Ghoulfather, [[spoiler:Don Spiracy Encounter, & Vs. Don Spiracy.]]
128	* OneWingedAngel: Like [=McKraken=] & Dame Dedtime, Ghoulfather also fights with a second form that drastically changes his appearance, using the power of the UFO Stone to become [[spoiler:Don Spiracy.]] [[spoiler:In the post-game, he pulls if off again when it's revealed he survived, transforming into Goldfather with the power Pyramid of Clu's gold.]]
129	* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:After he was deemed an outcast because no one believed he could see Yo-Kai, his parents abandoned him and he eventually grew weak and died.]]
130	* SharpDressedMan: He wears a nice crimson suit with matching pants.
131	* TheBadGuyWins: Despite being defeated by Nate and Hailey Anne, he still achieved what he dreamed to do. [[spoiler:He managed to prove the existence of aliens and [=UFOs=], not to mention prove the existence of the Cluvian Continent and the gold that came with it.]]
132	* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:He was once a nice normal Yo-Kai who saw an UFO and was interested in the unknown. But no one believed his claims about seeing one and he was branded a liar. It broke his heart and later led to him being an outcast in the Yo-Kai World.]]
133	* VillainousFriendship: With Agent X. It really says a lot how close they are considering that Agent X waited over 500 years for his return, not to mention that Agent X was the only one he told about his past.
134	* VisionaryVillain: His goal isn't the typical take over the world plot, but rather reshape the world entirely to one of his dreams.
135	* WalkingSpoiler: Not much can be said about him without spoiling the main plot because he's not only the main villain, but doesn't make an on screen appearance until late in the game.
136

138
139	[[folder:Agent X]]
140	!!Agent X (Injaneno)
141	[[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/injaneno_artwork.png]]
142	->'''Voiced by:''' Masahito Yabe (Japanese), Brent Pendergrass (English)
143
144	Ghoulfather's right hand man and the secondary antagonist in Yo-Kai Watch 3, Agent X is a recurring enemy that Nate will fight through out the story. He's incredibly formidable in battle though speaks in a plethora of "Ex" puns. His goal is to ensure his boss's dream comes true and will do everything in his power to ensure it succeeds.
145	----
146
147	* AffectionateNickname: Rango Swirl often calls him John as a nickname since they are close friends.
148	* ChildHater: He doesn't seem to like kids very much especially since he often calls Nate and co. brats and attacked them in their first encounter despite not having a good reason to.
149	* TheDragon: He is this to Ghoulfather.
150	* KnightOfCerebus: His introduction is when the plot shifts to a much more serious tone and he is the first opponent Nate actually struggles to beat.
151	* TheMenInBlack: Wears a black suit and fedora and is an agent for the BigBad Ghoulfather.
152	* PerpetualFrowner: He's never seen smiling as he's serious about completing his objective.
153	* PungeonMaster: He speaks in the localization in a variety of "Ex" related puns as he speaks.
154	* RecurringBoss: He's fought exactly 4 times throughout the game during the story.
155	* UndyingLoyalty: To his boss Ghoulfather. The very fact he waited 555 years just to see him again and help him reshape the world to his own image says a lot.
156	* VillainousFriendship: With his boss Ghoulfather and Rongo Swirl. It says a lot when Ghoulfather is the only one he trusts him with the knowledge of his past. Not to mention that he waited years for his boss's return.
157	* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: He's a genuine threat when first encountered but an issue is he never gets any new skills in his later fights. As a result he gets easier to beat each time to the point his final battle is a lot easier especially since he starts off in his second form right away.
158	* WouldHurtAChild: He has no problems trying to attack Nate, Buck, and Hailey Anne who are 5th graders.

161	!Yo-kai Watch 4

164	[[quoteright:319:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/soranaki_forever_friends.jpg]]
165
166	A massive Yo-kai that holds the appearance of a dark sun with a red eye in the center and is surrounded by a mass of purple clouds. He is the main antagonist of "Yo-kai Watch 4" as well the Greater Scope Villain in "Yo-kai Watch Shadowside" and the main antagonist of "Yo-kai Watch Forever Friends." [[spoiler:He was once a Yo-kai named Kuuten, a loyal servant to Princess Shuka, who he also fell in love with. Later, after finding out that Kuuten supposedly had plans to kill Shuka's father, she had her guards lock Kuuten up in an underground dungeon where he grew full of hatred, thus becoming Soranaki.]]
167	* BishonenLine: In the final battle, [[spoiler:Overseer sheds a single tear, which proceeds to absorb his entire mass and clouds. After crashing to the ground, Overseer takes a humanoid shape, with black armor and his "clouds" serving as his cape. His [[{{BFS}} sword]] is a more menacing version of the swords he uses in his first form.]]
168	* EldritchAbomination: Takes the form of a massive black sun, with a eye in the middle of it, and possesses giant, clock like blades.

171	* TheVirus: One of the central elements throughout the story is that Yokai are falling under his control due to his Virus.
