The Yōkai Bat (妖怪バット Yōkai Batto) is a special baseball bat that is guaranteed to hit home runs.[1]

Description[]

The Yōkai Bat resembles an average baseball bat, having the same color in all of its parts, from the end cap to its knob. Unlike an average bat, however, it has magical properties.[1]

Within the 1996 anime, the bat is completely black in color, with a round end cap and a handle tipped with an egg-shaped knob.[2]

Features[]

Guaranteed Home Runs: The Yōkai Bat has the power to always hit baseballs, making guaranteed home run pitches. However it is not able to hit items that are made to counter this, as only a special baseball is capable of avoiding the bat.[1] Within the 1996 anime, its power does not work when used against Yōkai.[2]

Soul Absorption: Within the 1996 anime, the Yōkai Bat has the additional ability to absorb, albeit slowly, the soul of its user. Whenever the bat is used a red aura is released from it, absorbing a sliver of the user's soul. The effects can be seen through mirrors, where those who used the bat several times will appear with graying hair and a malnourished appearance.[2]
