The plot of this movie is divided into five stories, with each of them being different except for the last one that combines all of them together for the climax of the movie. The movie was theatrically released in Japan on December 19, 2015.

This film most notably marks the debut of Lord Enma and Nurarihyon, who would later become one of the major characters in the Yo-kai Watch franchise. In the film, five different stories show the many different events that happen in each story, while a mysterious human figure watches the events happen. The stories all lead up to the main event, as the infamous Nurarihyon plots his revenge to sever ties between Yo-kai and humans. The five stories are titled as follows; "Keita Turned Into a Yo-kai", "Jibanyan's Brilliant Strategy", " Komasan Returns Home", "USApyon's Merry Christmas", and "Let's Go to the Yo-kai World".

Release
Before the first film in the franchise was officially released in Japanese theaters, a sequel was confirmed to be in production on November 3, 2014 during broadcast of the children's variety program Ohasuta, due to the enormous amount of tickets that were pre-ordered for the first movie.

One the first ideas of this movie was to a create a story that "he wouldn't watch on TV", so series director. Akihiro Hino. thought up of unexpected possibilities like Komasan and Komajiro meeting their unseen mother, and Keita becoming a Yo-kai like Whisper. The reasoning was to capture the threshold of an unusual event being viewed on a theatrical screen.

A teaser of the character silhouettes were shown in the Level-5 Vision 2015 event, where Keita's Yo-kai form, Fuu 2, was first revealed next to some then-unidentified Yo-kai.

The movie was officially announced in the July 2015 issue of Shogakukan monthly magazine Coro Coro Comics, as the issue contained more information of the film. The movie was described as an "omnibus-styled" format by series director Akihiro Hino.

The movie stayed at number 1 during its opening week with 975,000 tickets sold in its first two days. It had beaten Star Wars: The Force Awakens on its opening week as The Force Awakens grossed higher during the upcoming weeks due to the tickets were more expensive than the movie. The film was number-one in admissions again on its second weekend, with 450,000, and grossed ¥513 million (US$4.1 million).
