* AmbiguouslyBrown: There are a lot more dark-skinned characters in ''Shadowside'' than in the original anime. There are also a lot of characters with (presumably natural) colours such as blond and red. Considering this takes place in the future, it's possible Japan's population is more diverse in the 2040s.

* EerieAnatomyModel: An anatomical model named Jinta appears in Episode 5. [[BeastAndBeauty He's in love with the student Minami]]. So is Koji, who uses Jinta as the canvas of his love confession because he knows Minami likes the model. It angers both her and Jinta and when Jinta is shot (twice!) by Fukurou his negative feelings get the better of him. His shadowside Jingeki, a giant who uses his organs as bludgeoning tools, comes out. Fortunately for all, Minami manages to calm him down. Upon his subsequent LoveConfession, she replies that he's already spoken for by her grandmother Machiko, who went to the same school 50 years ago and whose resemblance to her triggered Jinta's new feelings. He melancholically remembers Machiko and needs time alone upon learning that she's no more but thought of him until her end.

* KnightOfCerebus; Almost every time Haruya shows up the plot gets noticeably darker. This comes to a head in episode 23 when he kills the MonsterOfTheWeek

** Jorogumo as well, [[spoiler:given that she had Haruya wrapped around her finger the whole time she was using Ayame as a vessel (with Ayame not suspecting anything) and ridiculing him with her requests, ordered him to kill another MonsterOfTheWeek, and defeating several heroic Yo-kai with little trouble.]]
** [[spoiler:Soranaki tops him easily, as after being defeated in the fifth movie, he returned to try to bring chaos on the world once again. And the Youseiken Haruya and his cronies were gathering in order to awaken the Princess? They were meant to awaken ''him'' instead.]]



* {{Retcon}}: It’s established in ''VideoGame/YokaiWatch2'' and the first movie that Nate’s grandfather created the first yokai watch, yet not only does the movie begin by basically disproving that stating that the Yokai Watch was created in ancient times but it doesn’t mention nate’s grandfather at all. The whole Lightside-Shadowside power was never mentioned in the original series, but was apparently present in the original series' timeline even appearing in ''VideoGame/YokaiWatch4'' as well in the 1950s.



* YouDontLookLikeYou: Due to the ArtShift to a somewhat more realistic takes on Yokai, almost all of the returning Yokai don't resemble their previous designs. Whisper, Komasan and Komajiro are the biggest offenders.

Komasan and komajiro are adoptive siblings despite them clearly having the same biological mother in multiple episodes of the original series, not to mention komajiro is now a frog rather than a dog like his brother. The whole shadowside lightside power was never mentioned in the original series but was apparently thing in the original’s timespan even appearing in {{yo-kai watch 4}} and was also apparently a thing in the 1950s.

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Most of the Yo-kai don't mean the trouble they cause. They basically just lost their self control and a tragic backstory to explain how they became a Yo-kai and their shadowside forms rampage. Once defeated, they mellow out and help the cast.
