Slimamander Eye Zoom Glitch (Yo-kai Watch 1 for Nintendo Switch)

 

This footage is from the first Slimamander fight in the game (Chapter 3). All of the HP of the left eye was depleted right before Jibanyan's soultimate was released. After it finished, every eye's HP was dropped to zero and they all opened as a result. Abnormally, however, the camera zoomed in on the eyes incorrectly as they opened, causing the visual mess you see in the video. (After the video cut, the final eye opened and revealed the tongue with no special effect at all.) I believe this was the result of the strange properties of soutimate move turn-order. I think, since the socket-opening animation has a similarly special turn priority, the soutimate released prior to its opening and tricked the game into thinking that the animation had already played out. Theoretically, since every Slimamander and Eyedra fight shares properties aside from damage output and HP, this could occur during any of the fights with the right luck and timing.
