The Yashichi Pickup is a special item found originally in Mega Man 1 that is featured in Mega Man Maker as of version 1.4.0. The pickup is a special energy producing turbine that harnesses wind power.
Behavior
Through this energy source the Player Character will fully refill their health and weapon energy for all their equipped weapons upon picking it up, similar to an M-Tank but used instantaneously rather than being held in the Player's inventory for later use or stopping the gameplay until the health or weapon energy are refilled.

The Anti Yashichi is a special pickup created exclusively by the developers and does not appear in any official Mega Man games. It was introduced in Mega Man Maker as of version 1.8.0.
Behavior
Acting as the opposite of the Yashichi, the Anti Yashichi drastically reduces the player's survivability—it sets the player's health to 1 and depletes the weapon energy of all secondary weapons to 0. Unlike spikes, it does not result in instant death but significantly weakens the player. Similar to the Yashichi, it is not affected by gravity and its effects activate instantly upon contact.
Trivia
- Similar to their appearance in the first Mega Man game, the Yashichi does not freeze the screen as the health and energy bar fills, instead instantly resetting all bars back to max in a single second with no animation.
- The Yashichi uses a unique sound effect exclusive to it when picked up in Mega Man Maker. This sound effect is the original sound heard when collecting any item in the original Mega Man 1.
- The Yashichi also appears as a pickup in Mega Man 8 that can spawn via the use of Rush Question, Mega Man 10 in easy mode primarily, and in Mega Man 11 in the last Dr. Wily Gear Fortress stage with the item exclusive to Superhero difficulty.
- The Anti Yashichi is the only Pickup in the game which is considered to be avoided rather than collecting it.
Glitches
- Because the Yashichi refills health instantaneously, it is possible to exploit it to bypass being crushed when the Player Character is forced into a wall allowing them to survive and walk around within or zip around the wall.
