A young boy is being harassed by two others at school for not bringing in a rare card for them. The boy screams, one finding it strange that he did so only for a Yo-kai to appear behind the two boys. Both boys turn, noticing it and cry out.
Summer greets Tate.
The next day, Summer enters Tate's room early in the morning. She says good morning to Tate as well as Whisper. Tate explains that he can somehow see Yo-kai. Summer tells Tate that she, as well as their parents are going out and tells him to not go into her room. Whisper explains how Summer is calm, hard working and an optimist however was fired from being her butler after following her into the bathroom. Tate ignores him as Whisper continues to harass him.
Tate explains how a while ago while he was running away from monsters he watched Summer defeat a bunch of monsters (referring to the M04 manga) and believes her to be a superhero. He goes into Summer's room after the occurrence and sees the watch Summer was using on that day. He uses the radar and spots Whisper. Summer runs in on him but thinks Tate could actually be helpful if he knew about the watch.
Tate finds the Yo-kai Watch Arcane.
Kenji protects Tate.
Whisper and Tate go out with the watch, looking for Yo-kai. He overhears two people discussing an apparition called 'Bourei Banchou' that appears when bullying occurs and beats up the bullies. Whisper explains that it might be a Yo-kai and they could go find him. Tate remembers an event where when he was younger he was trading cards with his friends. One of the boys takes one of Tate's cards without permission. A boy named Kenji walks up to them and snatches it from his hand, giving it back to Tate. He intimidates the other boys, making them leave. Kenji explains to Tate how he was always made fun of when he was younger because he was so small so can't forgive people like that. Tate is surprised such a big boy was small saying he was tall for his age when he was younger but is now quite short. Kenji continues saying that back then someone else helped him with the bullies and he wanted to be like him. Tate explains how he wanted to be like Kenji but he passed away after trying to save a kid who jumped into the street.
Tate summons Himoji
A Wicked Yo-kai appears.
The two of them find two men beating up another and they watch from afar. Tate reveals a Keystone which Whisper is surprised to see and he summons Himoji with Whisper stating that it was simply Summer's keystone he borrowed. Tate asks him to beat up the guys but Whisper tells him it isn't so easy when the Yo-kai isn't your friend. Tate passes him some candy and Himoji is quickly persuaded. He transforms into his Shadowside form, draining energy from the two men. They run away and Tate approaches the other asking if he's alright. The man yells at him despite Tate's concerns and a creature appears from his body. Whisper explains it's a Wicked Yo-kai that feeds on the dirty souls of humans and can possess them. As Himoji is unable to fight anymore, the Yo-kai attacks Tate. Before he can strike again, Bourei Banchou appears, punching it away. The two Yo-kai fight and Bourei Banchou uses a finishing move consisting of winding up a punch before striking.Tate recognises this and asks Whisper if dead people can become Yo-kai which Whisper states is true.
Bourei Banchou appears.
Tate calls out Kenji's name and Bourei Banchou states it's been a while since he's seen him, confirming his suspicions. The two embrace with Bourei Banchou explaining how he helps bullied people. He remembers when he was young and small and it is revealed that the first person who helped him was Tate. Bourei Banchou gives Tate his Keystone and he laughs that it's their second time becoming friends. Tate exclaims that they should go out and help more people in need. In the final panel, Jibanyan appears, asking why he didn't appear in chapter 1 with Whisper telling the audience he'll appear next.
