Well that was unexpected.
Usually I don't give a darn to the Yo-kai Watch anime unless they do something worth of a watch or drag my favorites on it.
But for the longest time the anime never mentioned the fact Lie-in Heart was even an evolved yo-kai. He debuted like that early in the anime, made more appearances than 95% of all yo-kai (nothing compared with the overrated ones like dat samurai cosplay cat or Blizzaria but still remarkable, which makes him....fairly likable in Japan? He's dancing in the current opening and all) and in the most recent episode aired yesterday his preevolved form finally debuted.

Wow the writers didn't forget Lie-in is copyrighted. I genuinely thought that would never happen. Even though it was just based in the opening scene of the spin-off Yo-kai Blasters (localization plz someday), even though it was just like 3 seconds of screentime it was still nice? Small details are important.

Yay that in the balloon is a screenshot you know I don't draw like that :3
