In The Great Yōkai War, what enables the reporter Sata to see yōkai?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When approaching the question about what enables the reporter Sata to see yōkai, I examine each option for internal consistency with the plot details at hand.
Option 1: 'He is bit by a yōkai.' If this were true, the sighting would come from a direct assault by a yōkai rather than a personal change in Sata's perception; however, the narrative does not frame a bite as the mechanism for seeing yōkai, so this seems unlikely.
Option 2: 'He gets drunk.' This choice aligns with the story’s mechanism where altered states—specifically intoxication—lower inhibitions or unlock perceptual barriers, enabling Sata to perceive yōkai that would otherwise remain hidden to ordinary perception.
Option 3: 'Tadashi grants him the power.' While a transfer of power could plausibly grant supernatural sight, the plot trail does not depict Tadashi bestowing such a gift upon Sata; there’s no canonical scene of a transfer of supernatural sight through a direct grant.
Option 4: 'He demonstrates his sincerity.' Demonstrating sincerity is a common literary device for character development, but it does not typically function as a supernatural catalyst that changes what a character can perceive; thus, it does not convincingly explain the new ability.
In evaluating these, the most coherent in-universe explanation is that an intoxicating state unlocks the extra perception needed to see yōkai, whereas the other options rely on events or mechanisms not supported by the narrative as presented. The reasoning hinges on the specific means by which perception is expanded in this story context, not on external gifts or accidental bites.
