Profile[]
Yo-kai Watch[]
Massiface is the Boss Yo-kai of Chapter 7. The player fights him in Downtown Springdale's Construction Site.
Massiface has been approaching onto Kyubi's territory and had set a fire in Shopper's Row, though no one was hurt. Seeing an opportunity when Nate/Katie was investigating the rumors around Shopper's Row, Kyubi lured the player to the Construction Site, where he also lured Massiface towards, which the player encounters when they have gotten to a hole inside the building.
Massiface disappears into the night once the player defeats him.
Yo-kai Watch 2[]
At the Book Store in Shopper's Row, the player can start a Quest called "The Phantom Giant" after the Springdale Sports Club has been built. After talking with the ghost club and starting the quest, the player must wait until night in order to continue the quest. When it has reached nighttime, the player will find the ghost club near the entrance, and must talk with them first before continuing on. Once said player has done so, they must follow the ghost club up through the floors, until they finally decide to leave at the 3rd floor, triggering a cutscene where the group gets stuck inside an elevator, and are whisked away to the construction site, where Massiface dwells. The player must then chase the ghost club around the area, until they are finally found at the edge of the map, where they can be seen talking about the giant Yo-kai, confirming that he is, indeed, visible to those who do not possess a Yo-kai Watch. After speaking with the club once they've found Massiface, the player will provoke a fight with him. Upon talking to him after, the player will get a new wallpaper, and the ghost club dubs the site as their new "clubhouse.'
Yo-kai Watch 3[]
Despite not being a boss, Massiface can appear when climbing the pole in front of Springdale Elementary, where he gives you a food item. He also appears on the Kaos March Mural.
Strategy[]
Massiface is the 4th Boss Yo-Kai, dealing brute physical damage which can be hindered by attacking his eyes. He doesn't have any special defensive properties. He has the following attacks.
- A normal attack involving him slamming his fingers down on a Yo-Kai.
- Forehead Flick (Japanese: でこぴん Dekopin): Flicks his finger onto a Yo-Kai's forehead, dealing damage and inflicting a level 2(3?) inspirit, which gives them a confusion effect.
- Earthquake (Japanese: じしん Jishin): Slams his elbow down onto the battlefield, causing debris to fall down and deal Earth-elemental damage to all front-line Yo-kai. This attack's accuracy is not affected by this boss's gimmick.
- Stinkeye (Japanese: にらみつき Niramitsuki): Shows a red-eyed stare at a single target, inflicting a Level 2(3?) inspirit with a nasty DEF debuff.
- Soultimate: Massive Swat (Japanese: ねこそぎばらい Nekosogibarai): Massiface roars and delivers a gigantic sweeping swat across the battlefield, dealing high physical damage to all front-line Yo-Kai. Can only be used when below 50% HP and both his eyes are open.
His main gimmick is while he does a ton of damage as well as nasty debuffs, his eyes can be attacked to inflict an invisible accuracy debuff, reducing the chance of most of his attacks from missing. Both eyes closed causes the debuff to stack. Disabling an eye can also cancel his Soultimate when he has the chance.
Massiface may deal huge damage, but disabling the eyes reduces his accuracy massively, so focus on the eyes and you'll be good. He takes less damage from Earth-elemental attacks, but is weak to Fire (and Wind?)-elemental attacks. In the first game, the player is given Komasan before entering the construction site, whose Fire elemental attacks might come in handy.

Etymology[]
"Oboro Nyuudou" translates as "Hazy Monk."
"Massiface" is a portmanteau of "massive" and "face."
"Animanstruo" may be a portmanteau of "ánima" (soul) and "monstruo" (monster).
Origin[]
Massiface is based on the miage nyuudou (Japanese: 見上入道 looking up monk). This youkai will first appear from afar to hikers. Then, it becomes larger and larger as they approach until it towers over them, terrorizing them and cursing them. The only way to counter the miage nyuudou is to spot it before making eye contact and shout, "Miage nyuudou, I saw you first!" In some stories, the miage nyuudou is an illusion created by a tanuki or some other shapeshifting animal.
Trivia[]
- Although he doesn't appear as a boss in Yo-kai Watch 3, he appears in the Kaos March Mural in one of the sewers in one of the alleys in Downtown Springdale, the mural shows him swallowing Chymera, Tublappa, and D'wanna.
- Massiface is the first new Yo-kai to be introduced in Yo-kai Watch♪.
- According to data from the now defunct Medalland website, he was originally meant to be a boss in Yo-kai Watch Blasters.
