If it will save someone from being educated with the wrong term, I think so. Yokai here a form of Obake which means the "state of transformation". The reason I am so against using the term "goblin" is because these individual yokai these girls are becoming are too humanoid. This is in comparison to kappa which are more goblin in appearance. Although I cannot find an exact english word that can replace the word yokai I think "the supernatural" fits well enough as yokai can cover humans with special powers to ghosts to luck charms.
