History
Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare
The demonic Daimon was awoken in Babylonia when its tomb was disturbed by treasure hunters. After killing them, it took to the sky and flew towards Japan. After capsizing a ship, it fought a samurai leader. However, the samurai lost and the Daimon possessed his body. After drinking the blood of many humans, the Daimon decided to drink the blood of children. It was at this point a Kappa attempted to lay claim as the 'local yokai' and fought the demon, retreating when Daimon vigorously rubbed it's head dish against a wooden post. The Kappa returned later with a few of it's yokai friends, but the Daimon once again, proved to be to powerful in the dark arts. One of the yokai whistled, and summoned all the local yokai to battle. It was then found out that its weakness was its eyes, and was stabbed in the right eye, thus ending the demon's life.
