This work, Dororon, Enma-kun, features a trio who arrived from hell during the 1970s when a yōkai craze began among children, teaming up with their human friend to defeat yōkai. Furthermore, this series gained popularity not only for its scary elements but also as a new type of yōkai anime incorporating comedic gags.
00:22This work, Dororon Enma-kun, was set in the 1970s, when a yokai boom began among children, and tells the story of a trio from hell who, together with their human friends, defeat yokai.
00:41This work also gained popularity as a new type of yokai anime that is not only scary but also includes comedic elements.
00:50Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:56The original story was written by Go Nagai, who also wrote Mazinger Z, and a total of 25 episodes were aired from 1973 to 1974.
01:08The story begins when King Enma, who rules the underworld, sends a trio, including an elderly Enma, to the human world and commands them to protect humans from evil spirits.
01:22Together with a human boy named Stom, whom he meets by chance, he solves mechanical cases.
01:30So, let's start by looking at the characters in this yokai anime.
01:38First, there is Enma-kun. As he is the old King Enma, he has become confident in everything he does, and in hell he is known as a troublemaker who does not care about causing trouble to others.
01:50However, because of his unconventional behavior, King Enma orders him to leave hell and go to the human world to exterminate monsters that harm humans.
02:04He has a violent, arrogant, and aggressive personality, and his attacking power is overwhelming.
02:12For example, there are special attacks that use sticks, flame attacks, and abilities such as flame trucks.
02:19In addition, the user of this stick can use its abilities to perform techniques,
02:27When used by Princess Yukiko, it is possible to unleash a powerful freezing technique.
02:33In addition, his long eyebrows act as antennae to detect monsters.
02:39And as an ultimate ability, he has the ability to revive even if he receives a mission wound.
02:45It consumes a lot of energy and cannot be used continuously.
02:53This is the hat that Emma usually wears, Chapozi.
02:59At the same time as being a watchdog to prevent Emma from going out of control,
03:04He was also a wise man who shared his wisdom and gave advice to Emma.
03:08Also, the other two who came to the human world with Emma,
03:14First, let me explain about Princess Yukiko.
03:17I'm Emma's girlfriend.
03:20Every time Emma called her Yuki-chan, he requested that she be called Princess Yukiko.
03:27As her name suggests, she is the princess of the prestigious Yuki-onna family,
03:32He is skilled at manipulating freezing rays and snow.
03:36She is weak to heat, so she wears a kimono that looks like a miniskirt.
03:41I often get undressed by Enma-kun or other monsters.
03:45Another member is Kapael, who is half kappa and half frog.
03:50Emma and I have been childhood friends.
03:54A habit he had from his childhood: he loved to play pranks.
03:59Even in the play, he often played pranks with Emma.
04:03And then, by chance, he met someone in the human world during his first time defeating a monster.
04:10A boy in elementary school, Stom,
04:12I don't understand the human world very well.
04:15While helping Emma, the events happening around him...
04:18Let's solve mechanical problems together.
04:21And Emma and the others,
04:24By coming to the human world,
04:26He was fired from the Yokai Patrol.
04:27There's also Dracula.
04:30He is a descendant of the prestigious Dracula family,
04:33It should be eradicated,
04:35Weakness that makes you a minion of a monster,
04:37In revenge for being fired,
04:39Teaming up with evil monsters,
04:41I'm going to defeat Emma.
04:43In addition, in this work,
04:45The enemy throughout the play,
04:47or,
04:48There are no monsters,
04:50Because it ends with each episode,
04:52Each episode is self-contained.

11:35What did you think?
11:37When the show first aired, I was both amazed and amused to see Princess Yukiko wearing a fairly short kimono without any pants.
11:48Some of my friends even said that she must have a thick haircut because she was a snow woman.
11:53But was this really just a service to the viewers?
11:59What did you all think?
12:01Well, that's all for now. See you next time. Bye.
