==The Rare One==
This short is all about rare things, as the title gives away. [[Nate]]'s mom arrives home and presents him with a rare and hard to get whoopie pie, which apparently involves quite a waiting list. [[Whisper ]] isn't too impressed, but Nate is in heaven. Later, Whisper decides to teach Nate about rare Yo-kai, such as the extremely rare Yo-kai known as [[Noko]]. It's apparently so rare that nobody has ever seen one before-- until one appears right next to Nate when Whisper has his back turned! A hilarious scene ensues in which Nate tries to convince Whisper that he's DEFINITELY seen a Noko... and he scores Noko's Yo-kai medal to boot!
(Fun facts about this episode: Noko's original Japanese name is Tsuchinoko. Tsuchinoko is an actual Japanese legend; it's supposed to be an extremely rare creature in Japanese mythology, thus the basis for its Yo-kai form!)
==Yo-kai Manjimutt==
What's an "HFD"? Apparently it means "human-faced dog." Nate and his friends are talking about rumors of a human-faced dog appearing late at night, when Katie shows up claiming that she actually saw it! Whisper thinks it's definitely a Yo-kai at work, so Nate goes to investigate the spot where [[Katie ]] saw the HFD. Right on cue they encounter [[Manjimutt]], an [[Eerie Yo-kai ]] with the face of a middle-aged businessman and the body of a toy poodle.
Manjimutt was indeed a middle-aged businessman who fell on hard times, and when he got into a freak accident he was transformed into a Yo-kai! Nate and Whisper share a drink with him (no hard drinks, just orange soda... and toilet water.) but before long Manjimutt is caught by the police while marking his territory, and is sent to jail. Right before the cops take him away, he gives Nate his Yo-kai Medal.
==Here comes Roughraff!==
Sometime later, there's trouble at school because one of Nate's friends is enspirited by another Yo-kai called Roughraff[[Roughraf]]f, a Yo-kai whose specialty is making good kids turn bad! Nate manages to track down his friend, but even when Roughraff runs away, his friend doesn't return to normal. It's up to Nate to take down Roughraff to get his friend back to being a good kid.
Eventually, Nate tracks Roughraff down to a field by a stream. Roughraff isn't going down without a fight, though! But when Nate tries to summon Jibanyan to take down Roughraff, instead Roughraff jumps on Jibanyan and transforms him into [[Baddinyan]], a bad-boy version of [[Jibanyan]]! Baddinyan doesn't seem too intent on helping Nate; he just wants to be a bad boy and eat candy in bed. How are they going to defeat Roughraff now?
Nate realizes that in order to sort out bad kids, you need the help of an adult. And who better to call on than their new friend Manjimutt? However, everything doesn't go quite as expected, as Manjimutt's jail cell apparently comes with him when he's summoned and he's not keen to come out of it! But with some convincing from Nate, Manjimutt gives Roughraff a stern scolding that quickly degrades into an all-out brawl between the two.
