The Three Powers of YOKAI.JP

Money in hand,Power in action,Affinity in the heart.

Here, each answers to a distinctly different law: Yosen is your enduring balance, safely stored for whenever you need it most. Spiritual Energy is the flowing spark consumed each time you chat and search. Affinity is the bond woven deeper with every pause, whisper, and shared moment.

01 / Reiryoku

Reiryoku

The energy that turns experience into action.

It is spent only when you talk with yokai, use AI search, or take a diagnosis. You decide when to use it and how much to spend.

1 Yosen = 10 Reiryoku. Reiryoku cannot be converted back into Yosen.

02 / Yosen

Yosen

The currency of the yokai world, kept with you.

You receive it through the Wanderer’s Pack or Seasons Companion Scroll, signup gifts, and site events. Yosen stays in your account until you need it, when it can become Reiryoku or be used for shrine visits.

03 / En

En

A connection that grows with each yokai.

It grows little by little through conversations and card interactions with yokai. En is not a currency: it cannot be purchased or exchanged for anything else. Deeper bonds with each yokai will open in stages.

Yosen can be converted to Reiryoku at a fixed rate. Reiryoku powers each experience, and the interactions you build there gradually grow your bond with each yokai.

Yosen only moves into Reiryoku; Reiryoku cannot return to Yosen. En is not currency, and cannot be purchased or exchanged.
