He shines the area with the Yo-kai Watch, and there it is! When the Yo-kai "Snobetty" is nearby, you get attacked with unreasonable circumstances. Nate summons Jibanyan with the Yo-kai Watch Elda.

Trivia[]

Bloominoko makes its first major appearance since its debut episode.
This marks the return of the segment in the entirety of the series to have 5 segments total since EP147 of the original series .
This marks the debut of the Onechanside functionality. However, Jibanyan's first Onechanside form was just a infinite clones of him that could fill an entire planet.
In the scene wherein Whisper mentally states not even Nate dared to slap him the way Snobetty did, his facial expression is a reference to the anime Kidou Senshi Gundam, more specifically to the scene where the character Amuro Ray is slapped.
The scene at the end of Yo-kai Snobetty where Jibanyan eventually multiplies enough times to fit the entire planet with his clones is a possible reference to the video game Plague Inc., complete with the ambulance sound effect present over it.
Tate Adams is briefly mentioned by Nate as he was fantasizing about what he would name his future children.
In Yo-kai Snobetty segment, when Nate uses the Onechanside of Jibanyan's Yo-kai Keystone, a subtle detail is shown when the Onechanside is revealed. The One-chanside that is shown of Jibanyan matches the Onechanside on the CoroCoro Jibanyan Yo-kai Keystone from the Yo-kai Keystone K1 pack.
This marks the second episode where a Yo-kai appeared with several clones debuted since EP042.
Whisper breaks the fourth wall by exclaiming how Nate using his Watch is an important scene.
Jibanyan's One-chanside is revealed to be multiple clones of himself enough to populate the entire world.
The social media app Koma Kaachan shows her kids, "Inzuragram", is a reference to Instagram.

Errors[]

When Nate tries to stop Bloominoko from leaving his bedroom, part of his shoe can be seen even though he's wearing socks in the prior and after scenes. The way his socks are animated differently than usual may have suggested that he was originally wearing shoes in the scene, or it took place somewhere else in the episode.
When Komasan and Komajiro walk down the Harajuku street for the first time, they're drawn too tall with bigger hitodama flames.
The two girls passing by were able to see Komasan without the help of a Watch/Komasan's human disguise.
