Yo-kai Medallium biography
"The young king of the Yo-kai. He is curious and positive about the human world, and often visits."
"Here to inspect the lives of normal Yo-kai with my own eyes."
—Lord Enma, Yo-kai Watch Blasters

Lord Enma (Japanese: エンマ大王 Enma Daiō), or his given name Kouen (Japanese: 煌炎 Kōen) is a Rank S, Fire-attribute Rare Yo-kai of the Enma tribe.

He inherited the title of Lord Enma from his grandfather after the latter's death, and as such is the ruler of the Yo-kai World in the present.

In Yo-kai Watch Wibble Wobble, his Enma Blade form is a Rank SS Yo-kai.

Appearances[]

Video games[]

Anime series[]

Biology[]

Appearance[]

Lord Enma is a humanoid Yo-kai with ruddy skin, amber eyes and spiky blond hair. Just like his predecessor, he wears traditional royal attire consisting of a red, long-sleeved garb with maroon-colored stitched sleeves; a maroon-colored, gold-trimmed sash worn over the shoulders and connected by a golden ornament across the chest; and a blue-gray, gold-trim waist skirt secured by a maroon sash.

His human form has tanned skin, but of a more human shade of brown, with dull brown eyes, and black hair that retains its spikiness. While dressed in a more casual manner, he does retain a penchant to wear ornaments.

Personality[]

Multiple people have shown surprise at Enma's youth and casual attitude - he often checks in personally with his subjects, rather fascinated by the various relationships they cultivate with humans and the lives they lead in the human world, personally overseeing the work of the Blasters and keeping a friendship with Nate. Enma shows a fascination for humans multiple times, donning human guise to take trips to their world and getting to know them- and occasionally using this as an excuse to shirk the more boring aspects of his work. However, for all his cheerful flippancy, he's shown hints to a less merciful nature - he had no problem using Nate's ability to form friendship contracts with Yo-kai to his own advantage, and didn't hesitate to send Ed Zoff and his gang to the Infinite Inferno for their crimes, though he does later mediate on what Ed Zoff's family must think and how he'd rather people be upfront about their dislike of him. He's also capable of terrible anger- Zazel's apparent death causes him to fly into such a rage that he Awakens and is perfectly willing to use his newfound powers to kill the one responsible in revenge - and those who get in his way in the process.

Warning: plot & spoiler details are listed below.


Prior Events[]


Yo-kai Watch[]

Lord Enma didn't learn of the incident with Chairman McKraken until it was over, which made him start paying attention to Springdale. As such, he noticed that Yo-kai and humans in Springdale lived together and associated with each other. Learning their way of life solidified Enma's convictions to aim for a world in which humans and Yo-kai could be friends.

Yo-kai Watch 3[]

In Version 2.0 Lord Enma can be befriended in a Quest, the prerequisites of which to appear are clearing a different quest involving Kyubi, clearing Chapter 10, having scanned a QR code to obtain the Inferno Report, and having the Rank S Watch.

Yo-kai Watch Blasters[]

In the Moon Rabbit Crew Update, if the Enma Medal QR code is scanned, he has a small chance of befriended after the mission Lord Enma and the Five Trials is cleared.

In this game he's classified as a Fighter Role giving him access to "Blaze", "Power Attack", "Invincibility Stance", and his trademark move "Enma Orb", but he has three unique equips exclusive to him that change his role and giving him role appropriate moves for them:

  • The Valiant Bracelet which turns him into the Tank role with access to "Guard", "Ultra Forcefield", and "Double Discourage"; the item can be obtained via QR code.
  • The Gentle Bracelet which turns him into the Healer role with access to "Circle Restore", "Purifying", and "Paradise"; the item can be obtained via QR code.
  • And the Virtuous Bracelet turns him into the Ranger role, giving him the highest stat boosts from any equipment in the game and access to "Zaptrap" and "Multi Stat Inspirit". Unlike the other two, the only way to obtain this equipment is as a 1st prize for beating the ultra variant of Zazel in the Big Boss Missions, where it's more likely to be handed out with the more Red Cat Corp Members with the player

Yo-kai Watch Busters 2[]

Once Chapter 2 is completed, Enma becomes an available opponent in the "Wandering Arena" (Japanese: さすらい闘技場 Sasurai Tōgiba), where he can be fought and befriended.

Even though this game takes place during the present timeline, Lord Enma shares his appearance with his Shadowside counterpart.

Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble[]

Lord Enma appeared in the Second Movie Event where he was added to the Crank-a-kai and was available in the event map Enma's Mansion.

Yo-kai Watch: Medal Wars[]


Relationships[]

Nate[]

Lord Enma befriends Nate through battle in The Enma Note sidequest where, in preparation for confronting whoever stole the Enma Note, he asks Nate to make him one of his Yo-kai friends. He tells Nate that it's a secret why, and later reveals that it was because one the Enma Note's rules is that it doesn't affect Yo-kai who are friends with a human, and apologizes to Nate for using him. He also admits that he grew to view Nate as a true friend as they fought together, and Nate cheerfully declares them best buddies, quoting Enma's previous words back at him.

Zazel[]

Zazel used to be one of the people who didn't accept Lord Enma as king, but Zazel has since moved past that and now works on building a world according to Enma's vision a world in which Yo-kai and humans can be friends. Zazel is very important to Lord Enma, to the point that when Enma thought that Zazel had died he flew in such rage that he Awakened for the first time and almost killed Umbral Enma for causing his death-and Buck for getting in the way of that. Lord Enma is also very important to Zazel, constantly worrying about his safety when he goes to the human world or to confront his enemies, and warning the Blasters to take good care of him.

Ancient Enma[]

The previous King Enma, Ancient Enma, is his grandfather. Having been born from one of his daughters, and Lord Enma addresses Kinya Daiouji as grandfather.

Lucas Schiffer[]

Lucas is his uncle, as revealed in Yo-kai Watch 3. Lucas never met Lord Enma until a the Enma Note quest in Yo-kai Watch 3.

Etymology[]

His given name "Kouen" is written with the kanji "kō" (Japanese: sparkling) and "honō" (Japanese: blaze).

Origin[]

Lord Enma is based on Yama (or Enma in Japanese), a deity of Hindu origins introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks; a dharmapala (wrathful protector of Buddhist precepts) and judge of the dead said to preside over the underworld and the saṃsāra, the cycle of death and reincarnation. He appears as an imposing, ruddy-faced man with a pitch-black beard and a menacing scowl, dressed in the garbs of a Tang Dynasty government official. From his seat he examines the sins of each soul, tests their virtue and sends them to their final destination, and has many demonic servants to carry out his orders. His most prized possessions are a scroll with the name of every soul on earth and the Cleansed Crystal Mirror, which reflects a person's past in perfect detail. Strict and pitiless in his judgement, parents would often invoke his name when scolding children, saying "If you're lying, Enma will pull out your tongue!"

In Japanese Buddhism, Yama is believed to be an aspect of Jizō (Kshitigarbha in Sanskrit), the compassionate bodhisattva who protects children and travelers and vowed to never ascend to Buddhahood until every soul in Naraka is saved. This reframes Enma's mercilessness as Jizō's secret kindness, intimidating mortals and putting them through trials to spare them the sorrows of Naraka in the first place.

Trivia[]

  • In Yo-kai Watch 3, three of Lord Enma's random nicknames are Gawko, Freezer, and Veggie. These most likely are a reference to Goku, Frieza, and Vegeta from the Dragon Ball Z series, (curiously Freezer is Frieza's Spanish name).
  • In Yo-kai Watch the Movie: Enma Daiou and the Five Stories, Nyan!, Lord Enma is so powerful that two copies of the Yo-kai Watch Model U are needed to summon him.
    • However, Nate is later able to summon Enma by himself with no issue. This could possibly be because the seal on the medal was already broken.
  • In the localization versions of Yo-kai Watch Blasters and in Yo-kai Watch 3, the Enma tribe's summoning song is not available.
  • Lord Enma's Soultimate is named "Enmergy Blast" in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble; however, it was renamed to "Supreme Enma Blast" in Yo-kai Watch Blasters.
  • In Yo-kai Watch 3, Lord Enma and Lord Enma Awoken can equip the Enma Blade. Equipping the Enma Blade on them changes their Attack, Soultimate, and Skill, as well as increasing their STR by 100 and reducing DEF by 100
  • In most media appearances, Lord Enma is voiced by Ryouhei Kimura. However, in Yo-kai Watch the Movie: The Great Adventure of the Flying Whale & the Double World, Nyan!, Lord Enma is portrayed by Kento Yamazaki during the live-action sequences.
    • During the movie, every time the summoning song for the Enma tribe plays, Lord Enma and Zazel are forced to dance against their will, much to the chagrin of both of them.
  • Although Lord Enma can't be turned into a Soul Gem in Yo-kai Watch Blasters, if it is acquired by other means it has the icon of a Boss Yo-kai Soul and it's description is 'Starts Mission with a full Soul Meter.'
