Biology[]

Captain Thunder looks similar to Usapyon in Invader Mode, but instead has his rockets tied to the waist and is much taller and more muscular. He wields a larger version of Usapyon's ray gun. According to Master Nyada, he's an alien.

He underestimates the Blasters when first meeting them, but when they at first defeat him he pulls his last resort: Serious Mode.

In his Serious Mode, the upper part of his suit is now torn away, revealing red markings on his chest, the rockets are instead tied to the ankles, and his helmet is missing. He now wields two massive orange bazookas with metallic gray tips.

Profile[]

Yo-kai Watch Blasters[]

Captain Thunder's battle takes place in the Moon World in a circular arena. Once his regular form is defeated, a cutscene will play and Captain Thunder will go into his 'Serious Mode' where his attacks are completely different. During his second phase the rabbits on the moon will ready a mochi cannon. All four players must stand on switches at the bottom of the map by this cannon. Once everyone is on a switch, the cannon will fire and fire mochi at Captain Thunder, rendering him stunned for a short while. If a player has fainted, they must be revived to use the cannon. If playing with computer players, they will move to a free spot once the player character does.
