==Komasan in the City: Urban Living==
Komasan’s homesickness is soothed by his brother living with him in the city, but Komajiro wanders off and gets lost sometimes. This time, the younger Koma brother is stuck on top of a human head. Komasan has a technique for navigating pedestrians though, and it so rhythmic and smooth that it look just like he’s surfing over the crowd. Komajiro is inspired by his brother and takes to the surfing technique easily. Despite their shared mastery of the moves, they just switch places with Komasan getting stuck. The two somehow get loose from the cycle, and debrief about their headsurfing session. While they’re talking, Komajiro gets curious about what a human on the street is doing, handing out what Komasan claims are trading cards that come with a larger game: the more cards someone collects, the more that person can win. Komajiro wants to win a prize, so the brothers spend all day collecting “trading cards” individually. When they reconvene, Komajiro says one of his trading cards got him “into open-mic night at the Ha-Ha Club.” Komasan, again, pretends to understand everything about this situation. Komajiro thinks Komasan’s plan all along was to take all the trading cards to save people from terrible amateur comedy. This time, Komasan can’t pretend to understand anything and only silently worries that his brother has become “a city slicker.”

==Yo-Kai Buhu==
Nate rushes to the end of a line of more than 40 people to get a donut he tells Whisper is “literally insane.” He counts out the line and decides he should still be in time to get one, but, while he’s celebrating, he hears distant ghostly sobbing. After the line clears up, the woman behind the counter let’s Nate know they ran out. He is the first person to miss out on a donut. Whisper just chalks it up to bad luck. Nate demands to be avenged and stomps over to mogmog Burger for a super-double-mega sundae, and the woman at his register says Nate is going to get the very last one. Cut to Nate holding his sundae, which is a cone, above his head in celebration when he hears the sobs again. It only holds his attention for a second because a soccer ball bounces past him and the child it apparently belongs to calls out for “a little help.” Nate kicks it on over, but follows too far through and loses his balance. He catches himself before falling over, but all the extra movement knocked his ice cream out of its cone. Whisper begins to notice a pattern.

Nate, again, rushes out to avenge himself. He finds himself in front of Frank’s butcher shop where they sell “Famous Frank’s fried fritters,” and a guy comes out and tells him there’s one fritter left. Whisper congratulates his friend because this is probably the one he gets to actually eat. Nate knows he has to hurry, so he declares aloud that he is going to put his food into his mouth before a problem arises. As Nate brings the fritter up to his lips with intense focus, he steps into a hole in the sidewalk and falls face and fritter first into the dirt. Nate finally catches on and decides it’s a yo-kai cursing him. Whisper promises his charge that he would have noticed a yo-kai lurking around, but Nate now knows that Whisper knows practically nothing about yo-kai and scans the area.

He does find her, big blue bird with a sad bird face and a sad Jack-o’-lantern face on her belly. He checks with Whisper for details but the butler wasn’t prepared to be wrong again, so he works hurriedly at his tablet for a little before filling everyone in that they’ve discovered Buhu a yo-kai who carries bad luck and disappointment everywhere she goes. She dashes the hopes of anyone she enspirits just by being around. Nate’s mad at her for ruining all his snack opportunities but she apologizes sincerely and immediately. She explains that, despite her guilt, she needs to enspirit just as a human needs to sleep. Buhu asks Nate for forgiveness and leaves as soon as she gets it.

Days later, it’s lunch time at school, and Bear tore through his except for one chicken nugget. Nate thinks it’s because he didn’t want it, but Eddie tells him Bear saved it because he wanted it the most and always saves his favorite food for last. When Bear bring his fork down on his nugget, it shoots out from under Bear’s hand and onto the floor. Bear cries out, “my nuggy!” and Nate gets a familiar feeling. Nate’s teacher announces that he’s about to pass out tests but first singles out Bear for getting a perfect score on the test. Except Bear didn’t write his name on the paper and had a point deducted from his perfect score, and he hangs his head and sobs just like the invisible Buhu hanging out somewhere in the area. Nate and Whisper think this is too much undeserved punishment and resolve to find Buhu and put a stop to her.

Nate illuminates her with his watch on the first try. When they confront Buhu outside about how she promised not to bother anybody, she explains that she was flying out of town and came across a flock of birds. She flew with them for a while but crashed when one of the birds winked at her. When she woke up, she was right back where she started. Nate berates her for doing what she said is equivalent to human sleep, and she asks him what she could do instead. She has to choice but to enspirit people. The solution Nate comes up with is to call Robonyan who is “a robot. He can do all kinds of robot stuff.”
Whisper wonders to the robot’s face what he could possibly do to make Buhu stop enspriting people, but Robonyan resolves to fix everything. First, Robonyan takes Bear’s test and writes his name in impossibly small print on the page and artificially ages the ink 27 hours. They return to crestfallen Bear and show him, with a magnifying glass, where he must have written his own name. Which works and improves his mood. Next, Robonyan picks Bear’s chicken nugget of the floor and converts it back to a piece of raw chicken then breads and fries it again. When Nate presents the nugget back to him, he just eats it without asking any questions.

Buhu expresses her gratitude to Nate for solving all the problems she can’t help but cause by awarding him her medal.

==The Legend of Shogunyan==
Whisper is impressed about the 21 yo-kai medals Nate has collected so far. Nate is too, calling them his “supernatural entourage” like in the new opening. But the book they keep the medals in begins to glow with golden light, and Whisper pretends to know why until he looks up the actual cause. He, eventually, says that Nate’s met the condition to summon a legendary yo-kai. But it seems like the collection only summoned Jibanyan who is no legend. Jibanyan doesn’t even really appreciate being summoned, and goes back to sleep in the closet. Nate and Whisper don’t understand what happened even after a blue Jibanyan wearing samurai armor emerges from the closet with cat girl fanzines and a poster. They ask why Jibanyan is all dressed up, but he tells them he is not Jibanyan but Shogunyan. And Shogunyan is very proud. Even though the other two are sure Jibanyan is cosplaying or messing around, he keeps insisting that he is who he claims to be. Whisper finally gets around to looking this new warlord cat up, and determines he is really legendary.

Shogunyan behaves almost exactly like Jibanyan but more confident. While Nate and Whisper work through what’s happening a pop fly comes right at Whisper through the open window when, in a flash, Shogunyan shoots up and slashes clean through the baseball with his “deluxe flying slasher move number two.” Now that the cat’s sword skills are out of the bag, he also slices up a snack cake on Nate’s desk into perfect thirds for them to share. But Nate eats two pieces, Whisper eats one, and Shogunyan is mortified by this blatant disrespect. Because he is an upstanding samurai, Shogunyan draws his blade on this pair of traitors. He brings his sword down on Nate from a leaping attack, and Whisper attempts to clap his hands around the blade and stop this affair of honor, but his hands slip. Whisper is split right down the middle. Nate comforts his spectral friend in what feels like his finals moments, but Whisper is totally a ghost and is fine. They laugh it off together and Shogunyan is so moved by their friendship that he sheathes his sword and cries for them. He is so touched by Nate’s display of friendship that he grants the boy his medal with tears streaming down his face. The legendary yo-kai retreats back into the closet and is replaced by Jibanyan who mentions something about a dream where he was a samurai warrior. But the red cat panics when he sees all this catgirl merchandise is just out for anyone to see and discovers that somebody ate all this chocobars. He cries, not for the beauty of friendship but over his lost chocolate, and laments, “this is so not legendary!”
