* Episode 22 basically triggered the entire Challengeshipping (Kaito/Shark) fandom with one line; "You're quite the romantic/romanticist." Of course, Kaito was referring to the historical period, but the fandom thought otherwise.
* The Mentorshippers (Kaito/V) were already fairly rampant when they found out about Kaito and V's previous relationship with each other, but episodes 55 and 56 layered on the subtext so thickly that it practically just became text.

* Episode 72 got the Dokidokishippers (Yuma/Kaito) going; when trying to explain the excitement of duels to Kaito, Yuma uses the phrase "Kokoro no doki doki," loosely translating to "makes my heart beat fast". However, the term is also used to describe the feeling of falling in love with somebody. Kaito then repeats it back in an extremely confused tone, which only makes it worse.
** In Episode 125, after Kaito is nearly defeated by Heartland, Yuuma shows up to rescue him, and ends up cradling Kaito in his lap. And ten episodes later, [[spoiler: when Kaito has his final duel with Mizael, the last thing he says to Yuuma is that Yuuma is his last hope -- right before he dies due to the failure of his spacesuit.]]
* Kaito and Mizael are both competitive Galaxy Eyes dragon users whose duels together are constantly interrupted and never allowed to reach a conclusion (until episode 135). Mizael in particular has regarded Kaito as his fated rival since their first meeting, and Kaito has been shown to spend some time watching video footage of Mizael.
** In episode 135, Kaito [[spoiler: finally defeats Mizael in an intense duel on the moon, but eventually suffocates due to his spacesuit failure. Before he dies, he entrusts the card he won to Mizael, telling him to follow the path he believes in, and Mizael silently weeps over his corpse.]]
