Fact #80
Many things had to be changed when localizing Yo-kai Watch Blasters, due to copyright complications that would be caused due to references to the Ghostbusters franchise.
The first of these comes in the form of the name; the Japanese version of the game is instead referred to as Yo-kai Watch Busters, a direct reference to the Ghostbusters franchise.
The outfits of Jibanyan, Komasan and Usapyon B had to be completely changed for the same reason, as they were also references to the Ghostbusters franchise.
In Busters, instead of being called Whisped Cream, the final boss is called Whismellowman, as a reference to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from, unsurprisingly at this point, the Ghostbusters franchise. In Blasters, as well as being renamed, he was additionally redesigned, though interestingly, neither of these changes are present in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble.
