** {{Nurikabe}}: [[ScrawkcabName Kabenuri]] in #11, who is a sludge Youkai that can blend into walls.

After our three swashbuckling demon heroes performed a HeroicSacrifice in the FinalBattle with the Akuma Clan, their souls drifted in three capsules that eventually found the bodies of three humans. When {{Youkai}} suddenly appear in place of the Akuma Clan to terrorize humanity, a student athlete named Kei Tsukimura has a chance encounter with Daizaburo Daima, head of the Daima Choujin Research Center, as he's being attacked by Youkai and discovers he is the inheritor of the spirit of [[TheLeader Xavitan]]. After Daima performs a ritual to awaken the power of Xavitan within Kei, Kei becomes Choujin Bibyun and joins with Ichiro Suga and Go Watabe - who inherited the powers of [[TheLancer Evil]] and [[TheBigGuy Gabra]] respectively - to form the Choujins to defend humanity from the Youkai.

* LandSeaSky: The Choujins each have powers based on one of these elements, with Zusheen being Land, Bashaan being Sea and Bibyun being Sky.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to its predecessor, ''Choujin Bibyun'' is a lot lighter in tone, with less threatening villains, more comedy and more focus on children.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: For how LighterAndSofter the series tries to be, Youkai Suiko gets an absolutely brutal thrashing from the Choujins in the second episode. First Bibyun chops his head off, then Bashaan freezes his (still alive) body and ties it to a cross, then he gets sent away to the Himalayas to freeze to death. Though considering he was a Youkai who [[WouldHurtAChild preyed upon children]], it's hard to say it was undeserved.

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to its predecessor, ''Choujin Bibyun'' is a lot lighter in tone, with less threatening villains, much more comedy and more focus on children.

* {{Youkai}}: The MonsterOfTheWeek. They vary from ones lifted from traditional folklore, like [[https://yokai.com/suiko/ Suiko]], to ones that appear to be made up for the show. Even Youkai invented in other media appear, such as Backbeard from ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro''.
