Biology

Ed Zoff is a fair-sized humanoid Yo-kai with clay-colored skin, a visible pointy ear and a sole visible sharp teal right eye, with the left one covered by an eye-patch. He has magenta-colored hair with two black horns sticking out, and a cloudy-looking scarf, teal in color.

He wears a samurai-like attire with long clay-brown sleeves and a darker brown-colored layer of clothing above, a yellow sash on his waist, as well as two-teeth geta sandals with white tabi. he carries a fairly big golden curved sword with a green handle.

It is also worth noting that Ed Zoff's head can freely detach from his body.

He can use his left eye to see the real name of any Yo-kai. While doing so, it turns red.

Along with his followers, he views Lord Enma with disdain and believes that someone else should take the throne.

While killing Yo-kai with the Enma Note, he justifies his actions by stating they are criminals. In the case of some Yo-kai, such as Slimamander, they were indeed criminals, but often also killed other Yo-kai who had committed no offenses in order to help satisfy his grudge towards Lord Enma. He works alongside Frostail and Eyellure.

Quotes

  • Blasters T camp: "I prefer walks in the moonlight... but I'll come along for a change..."

In the manga

Etymology

  • Ed Zoff is a corruption of "Heads off."
  • Dex Cápito combines the name "Dexter" with "Decapitó" (To be decapitated).

Origin

Ed Zoff is based on Yagyou-san (Japanese: 夜行さん Yagyō-san, "the night wanderer"), a one-eyed youkai resembling an oni that hails from the Tokushima prefecture. He appears on a headless horse on the night before Setsubun or the last day of the year, riding down the most beaten paths. Those who encounter him on these nights risk getting bodily thrown aside or kicked by his steed. To avoid this, one should put their zōri on their head and kneel down begging for forgiveness. Some sources say Yagyou-san's steed is a youkai of its own, related to folk tales of disembodied horse parts hanging from trees, like the sagari ("dangler") or the uma no ashi ("horse legs").

Ed Zoff's ability to remove his head freely, however, references an altogether different youkai, the Nukekubi (Japanese: ぬけ首), the original type of Rokurokubi (Lady Longnek#Origin), where instead of their necks stretching, their heads become disembodied at night and float away from the body. Nukekubi have been noted, though not a common event, to attack passerby and drink blood. Sometimes, however, Nukekubi can be used to describe out-of-body events, such as a story featuring a female nukekubi being chased by a man with a sword all the way home, where the woman woke up and recalled the chase as a nightmare.

Trivia

  • Ed Zoff's random nicknames in Yo-kai Watch 3 are: Morow, Hissy, Phantom, and Bungee.
  • Ed Zoff's appearance in Yo-kai Watch 3, during the first "ENMA NOTE" quest, features many references to the Death Note franchise. His feature in the quest is most likely due to his japanese name, Yagyō, being used as a reference/pun on Light Yagami's name, as it shares the kanji 夜/ya with his.[1]
