When he’s back on his feet, he decides that there’s no way Eddie and Bear have real dates and uses the Yo-Kai Watch to reveal that he’s right. Both girls are projections created by Illoo, a priestly yo-kai with a cloudy beard and eyebrows who casts illusions over people. When Illoo shows himself, Nate shouts that he doesn’t appreciate being left out of this trickery even though he know knows his friends’ Valentine’s Day dates are lies. Whisper objects to Nate falling under Illoo’s spell, but his protests are drowned out by Nate’s jealousy, and Illoo releases a stream of sparkling smoke over Nate’s head to absolutely no effect. Nate takes even further exception to that and summons Jibanyan to force the illusionist to play along. But Jibanyan can’t handle the task because 1. “It’s not nice to show disrespect for your elders” and 2. Illoo casts a spell on Jibanyan to make his believe a jungle gym in a giant mound of delicious “chocobars.” Even though cats can’t eat chocolate, Jibanyan is useless under the illusion. Nate thinks Manjimutt can take care of business, but he is immediately distracted by the army of young girls who lined up to compete for his attention on Valentine’s Day. This illusion brings him to tears, and he’s out too.
Nate handles Illoo himself by leaping into the air and performing a flaming bicycle kick with a soccer ball and uniform that appeared out of nowhere, scoring the winning goal against Illoo and reverting him to medal form. Nate uses Illoo’s power to create the illusion that Katie is giving him a Valentine’s Day present, but this is an illusion within an illusion.
Whisper looks on while Nate celebrates his imagined victory, Jibanyan eats his imagined chocobars and Manjimutt kneels humbly before his adoring public, but he let’s Illoo win because “sometimes, ignorance is bliss.”
