When Cartoon Network Africa began airing Season 3 of Yo-kai Watch, they posted some clips of the first episode but from a curiously new dub that hadn't surfaced before:
Although they previously aired the US adaptation for the first two seasons, this is a completely separate dub from what aired of the season in the US and the Hong Kong-based dub that aired in South East Asia. Their TV schedule had revealed that plenty of episodes that the Los Angeles version had skipped were still aired by the network:

What's noticeable is that it uses a mostly uncut order much like its fellow EMEA dubs handled by Viz Europe from Season 3 on; it's implied by some titles and the scripts in the clips provided it might be translated off the French version.
To date, only two voice actors have confirmed involvement, both based in Miami, but with no confirmation of the studio:
- Sahid Arnaud Pabon as Nate
- Celia Gruss as Puppynyan and Kyubi
When "Yo-kai OMGator" was skipped, Cartoon Network Africa later uploaded more clips but all exclusively from the LA dub of the episode. It's unknown if this means that some of the episodes that aired may have also been from the (available) LA dub alongside airings of the Miami dub. Since reruns were later pulled off the network in September 2019, the clips they originally uploaded from the first episode are all that's available of the dub.
I had been digging hopelessly for leads back when this aired and honestly should've come to it sooner and posted here. If anyone knows anything more about the Yo-kai Watch Season 3 dub produced in Miami, please let me know.
