The June issue of Shogakukan 's Coro Coro Comics magazine revealed on Monday that the Yo-kai Watch anime will enter the "Busters" arc in July. The arc will feature the characters T-Jibanyan and T-Komasan.

Both characters feature in the Yo-kai Watch Busters game, which shipped in Japan in two versions ( Akaneko-dan and Shiroinu-tai ) for the Nintendo 3DS in July 2015. The Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki game, which shipped in December 2016, also included a "Busters Treasure" mode featuring the characters.

The Yo-kai Watch Busters spinoff game allows up to four players to cooperate in battling boss Yo-kai. Players are given case assignments from Commanding Officer Bree, after which they can explore the town, recruit Yo-kai, and fight the big boss behind the case.

Atsushi Ohba launched a manga based on the game in Coro Coro Comics in May 2015, and ended the manga in August 2015.

The Yo-kai Watch television anime premiered on Disney XD in November 2015, and the second season premiered last August.
