HELLO EVERYONE I'M GOING TO RAMBLE ABOUT MY COMFORT CHARACTER!!!

It's 00:35 as of starting to write this, I'm tired and don't really care enough to stop myself from writing like a crazy person. So uhm... Sorry.

YOU SEE THIS GUY? THIS THIS THIS ABSOLUTE PERFECT BOY IN MY EYES???

This is Blandon, a character from the yo-kai series/franchise thing. And despite not getting his own episode segment until episode 206 of the anime in Feb 2018 (which is... what 4 years okay now? Okay that's a long time ago but still)

He might have a weird voice in the games, but he (and Dimmy, presumably Nul too) bitch slap people as a soultimate. So all is forgiven. (Also Nul doesn't sound okay at all, #sendhelpforNul)

I love him. More than most fans do, I can't explain it really. But it's probably due to nostalgia. When I first got the first Yokai Watch game, Dimmy caught the interest of my 10 year old self.

'Purple ninja, that looks kind of cute? Nice!' I befriended him, and evolved him into Blandon. And little me lost my marbles. Blandon was the peak of epicness in my eyes. And ever since then I've used Blandon whenever I can.

Please acknowledge Blandon's cool design, I think it's cool, the combo of Black, Purple, Red and Gold/Yellow works well.

I don't remember a playthrough where I didn't use him, when I got the second game I spent ages finding Dimmy. In Blasters, I spent ages trying to befriend Dimmy as well.

So, yeah. I like this scroll boy a lot. I also like Dimmy and Nul a bunch too! Ironically, out of their Yo-kai medals, I like Blandon's medal the least. To be honest, to me it looks like the poor thing is being sucked into a hoover/vacuum. Nul makes me feel even more sympathetic for the poor thing who's sitting sadly on the swing. And Dimmy's medal is by far my favourite, it's very pretty!

Also, I found a video of episode 206 on youtube, and translated the Blandon segment from Malay. I'm going to try and basically describe what happens.

We're skipping the school part, because that's boring.

Nate is looking around with his yo-kai watch, looking for the yokai responsible for everyone ignoring him! Whisper is about to say the typical 'there's no way a yo-kai is responsible for this!!' thing but says something along the lines of: "What are you talking about? No Yo-kai... Damn. I always say that."

Which is funny to me.

ANYWAYS they begin walking, Jibanyan sees/senses another Yo-kai, Nate looks around desperately but can't find where this yo-kai is.

Blandon is like "I'm here lol" and fades into existence to our heroes shock. Nate's like 'Whisper who the heck is this???' Dunno Nate, kind of looks like the ninja guy from episode 8 and that Gorgeous Ambassador episode don't you think?

Whisper uses the holy yo-kai pad, and they discover Blandon makes people practically invisible! (Which is also Dimmy's inspiritment in the games, but in the anime, it was changed for some reason? Seriously why was it changed? I have no idea.)

Whisper looks back and is like 'Wait where did he go?' and TURNS OUT NEITHER NATE NOR JIBANYAN WERE PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND HIM NOW EITHER! Mood honestly.

Blandon, poor thing, hasn't even moved a centimetre from his spot. Says something along of the lines of (remember this is a probably bad translation using google translate): "I'm here all the time. As you can see my presence is not felt. Even though I'm near them, no one notices me. Sometimes, it makes me know secrets I shouldn't have. It's very troublesome."

Makes me realize Blandon probably knows a lot of things he shouldn't purely by being there at the wrong time and nobody noticing, probably the same for those he inspirits.

He also mentions people are hunting him for his skills and trying to use him. (assumingly the skill of being unnoticeable)

Then Injurnalist appears, snatches Blandon and the two vanish. Nate, Whisper, and Jibanyan don't do anything to try to stop him or his fake articles/rumours. That's kind of sad, to be honest.

Injurnalist and Blandon take pictures of different yokai (Blazion, Blizzaria, Hungramps, Snartle and Komasan to be exact) and use it for the article and spread rumours about them.

After that they return to Nate's house, Injurnalist is like "Thanks Blandon lol" although judging by what happens five seconds later he probably doesn't mean it. BLANDON TEARS UP AND SAYS THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE HAS THANKED HIM.

POOR SOUL.

The other yokai show up, obviously pissed about 1. Having pictures taken of them without consent and 2. Those pictures are being used in a bad way to spread rumours/lies.

Injurnalist quickly pins the blame on Blandon, everyone's like "There's no one there" and proceed to beat Injurnalist up! Yay.

Blandon leaves because Nate, Whisper and Jibanyan are pointing randomly trying to find him like idiots.

Also makes me realize Blandon would be pretty tall if he straightened himself, he's just... Permanently crouching/has bad posture. That doesn't matter because he's literally paper thin, therefore does not have bones!!

So, yes. I spent almost an hour writing this. It's very long and I'll probably regret it in the morning. But here you go. And for those who actually read down here, thanks I really appreciate it. :)
