Yo-kai Hero

A **Yo-kai Hero** (妖怪HERO（ヒーロー）, *Yōkai Hīrō*) is a human that gains the power of a specific Yo-kai, Onryo or Alien (Yo-kai Watch), mostly with the YSP Watch or similar devices via a transformation in *Team Tardis Incorporated*.

They contain a stronger power than the Onryo or Yo-kai themselves, each of them giving off a unique appearance and power they can fight opponents with. Their attacks are represented by Command Medals which can be activated when inserted into the YSP Watch.

There are special mystical Yo-kai Hero forms called **Mystic Hero**, where this the fusion of the original Yo-kai/Onryo Partner with the power of the Shadow Selves, however some Mystic Hero forms can be obtained via the Mystic Watch. There were prototype versions of the Mystic Heroes, instead of using finished Mystic Watches they use the unfinished versions of the watch.
