In 2018, Yo-Kai Watch wasn’t doing well in the States. However in Spain, France and Italy the franchise was doing great. So Hasbro decided to release a version of the Model U that was featured in the third season of the anime in these 3 countries. There had been rumors that an English version of the watch was available but rare. But the speculation would end on May 9 2024 when the Yo-Kai Watch YouTuber Frost Shogunyan got a package featuring an English version of the Model U.
