Yo-kai Top Ten (Japanese: 妖怪ベストテン,Yōkai Besuto Ten), Yo-kai Count Zapaway (Japanese: 妖怪りもこんかくし,Yōkai Rimokonkakushi), and Gourmet School Lunch Episode 3: Cruller! (Japanese: 給食のグルメ 第3話「揚げパン」,Kyūshoku no Gurume Dai-3-wa "Agepan") is the 40th episode of the Yo-kai Watch anime series. It was broadcasted in Japan on October 17, 2014, and in the United States on September 17, 2016.
There's a top ten Yo-kai show going on, hoping Whisper would be voted the Best Yo-kai. Nate finds out that he cannot find the remote, causing him to challenge Yo-kai Count Zapaway in finding it. Nate tries to make the best of his cruller at lunchtime.
The Japanese title of the first segment is a reference to the Japanese show called The Best Ten, which showcased the top ten songs that were popular in Japan at that time. The set and getup of the hosts even look similar to the aforementioned program.
The Sleepover, Yo-kai Nosirs and Yo-kai Top Ten are the only episodes to be reanimated by OLM for the English dub, with the scenes of the Nosirs nose-hairs being changed to snot.
The "lyrics" in the Japanese version of Count Zapaway's song (which has the words Wakurukana (わかるかな) repeated over and over) is a possible reference to the Japanese children's series Dekirukana.
Count Zapaway's song would later be used as background music in Hanging With Mr. Crabbycat.
This episode marks the very first appearance of a Jewelnyan.
When Nate is about to eat the food, the "move" he makes in the Japanese version is called Golden Kinako Bomb Illusion (ゴールデン・きなこボムイリュージョン), which is a direct reference to Hanako Nanaha's Soccer Move from Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stone.
Dub Differences[]
Just like the Nosirs' previous appearance in Yo-kai Nosirs, their nosehairs was changed to snot.
The scene of Manjimutt peeing was obscured by a sticker in the dub.
The weather map of Japan was edited to look like the United States.
The fried agepan bread was renamed to cruller.
Errors[]
Nate does not know that one could change the channels and the volume of the television without the remote despite Jibanyan doing so in a previous episode, Let’s Exorcise!.
