It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the problem with Kyubi's human form in Yo-Kai Watch. There may be some spoilers for the show though, so proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with the post! Although a lot of people like Kyubi's human form, I think it causes some problems. Firstly, Kyubi is an adult. His normal fox form is even shown to be quite tall and mature. But the human form he was given is more like a child. This is because he's trying to pursue Katie to get his last heart. I have a lot of problems with this. First of all, it's implied Kyubi's other targets have been adult women. The only reason he's even considering Katie is because the writers wanted him to. His ears and tails showing when he's surprised or embarrassed does imply he's young, but he isn't a child. He's an adult. I really hate what they did with this, and it makes these segments hard to watch even though I love Kyubi. Since it's implied here and there that he has a crush on her, it makes it much worse. They should have introduced a new adult character like they did for Komasan. I have no idea why they decided to make Kyubi look like such a weirdo. I like his human design. However, even though he's an adult, giving him a child form makes people think he's a child when he's not. This design could've worked amazingly well with even just small changes to make him look older while still staying youthful. I think this was a real waste for his character, which is so disappointing for such a popular character. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
