* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the 2018 series most evil yōkai are motivated into their villainy [[DudeWheresMyRespect by the realization that humans don't fear or respect them anymore]]. Even Kitarō believes that mankind should revere and fear the darkness, but only the little bit necessary for self-preservation. But, Kitarō himself spent every day of his life protecting mankind from evil yōkai, becoming the main reason there's no longer anything in Japan able to hurt people in the darkness.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** In Japanese mythology, the Nurarihyon is a rather benign yōkai best known for being a moocher. ''[=GeGeGe=] no Kitarō'' reinterprets him as a devious villain with FantasticRacism against humans, with the 80s series makes him the recurring villain, and eventually the BigBad.
** In a similar vein, the Sunekosuri in Japanese mythology is best known for unintentionally causing people to stumble or trip by nuzzling against people's knees, with some variations causing injuries at worst. In the 2018 series, the Sunekosuri gradually drains people's energy as it passes by them, [[spoiler: which causes several deaths in one village, but the Sunekosuri hasn't acknowledged its existence as a yokai.]]
** The Sunekokusuri is more a CompositeCharacter than an alternative character: in a compilation of legends written by Shigeru Mitzuki himself he writes how the Sunekokusuri myth has, in different places of Japan, a similar myth in which a yōkai looking like a small and cute piglet, by nuzzling and tripping people, saps their lifeforce making them impotent and coward or weak and sickly.
