Nate is initially skeptical, but soon discovers that Yo-kai are real and all around us, causing mischief and influencing people's behavior.
The main plot of the episode centers around a particularly spooky intersection in town where cars seem to mysteriously break down and accidents happen frequently. Together with his new Yo-kai friend, Whisper, who serves as his guide to the world of Yo-kai, Nate sets out to investigate the cause of these strange occurrences.
Throughout the episode, Nate meets various Yo-kai who are responsible for the mishaps at the intersection, including Jibanyan, a cat Yo-kai who causes accidents because he is seeking revenge on the car that hit and killed him.
