** Offhand, ditching the burdens of doing anything but Working Towards Revenge seems a fair trade-off for Callaghan. Consider for a moment how much mental effort it takes for a serious monomaniac to maintain the college post and social contacts mentioned above; and recall that once Krei is slain little if anything else would matter.

[[folder: Why Yokai?]]
*So Callaghan, distraught with grief over his daughter's loss, decides to set a fire, fake his own death, steal Hiro's tech, and begin producing bots in the burned shell of the building while wearing a mask. He's a very intelligent man who probably planned for every contingency, and his death is never disputed so deciding to fake it probably wasn't a spur of the moment thing. The big question: What does he gain from being assumed dead? Why fake his death? If anything it hinders him- he is entirely cut off from the former access to lab tech, raw materials and brilliant minds his prestigious college post and social contacts would have provided him. And what was the point of the mask? The benefits of a secret identity kind of require a regular identity. The use of the microbots, which were last seen in that mysterious fire, would sooner or later blow Callaghan's cover to anyone doing a thorough enough examination of everyone who went to the expo. It might be to strike terror into people's hearts, but he never really does anything stressing this supernatural note, and in his confrontation with Krei he flips the mask aside to talk to him face to face.

* Another possible explanation is that the microbots are linked to that particular headpiece for security reasons, like a bluetooth protocol, and Hiro would need the microbots to delink before they would accept commands from a new headset.

* I think you can see the headband on his head when he was talking about the fire. As it stands, the most likely scenario is that he grabbed the headband first, used the microbots to cause the fire, then had the microbots protect him.

** The movie novelization included a scene where Callaghan actually sees Tadashi run into the hall- and ignores him, even though the microbots could save them both. Deliberately abandoning Tadashi is more serious than accidentally killing him.

So did the microbots protect Callaghan on their own accord or was he able to grab the headband quickly enough to make them do so? The way Callaghan explains it, it sounds like the former, but that just raises a ton of other questions.

[[folder: Portal Accident]]
After losing contact with the test pilot, Krei Tech didn't even try to recover the space capsule or the dead pilot from the other side. Although a portal remains relatively undamaged, they neither repair it nor use it for future experiments. Baymax detects the pilot, who is still alive, behind recently opened portal. He finds the pilot hibernating inside her space capsule. Its life support system is still working fine, even after prolonged mission.
*Why did they presume that the pilot was dead just because they lost contact with her? It's possible that they lost contact because their equipments, not the space capsule, were blown up to bits.
*Why did they make no effort to find out what happened at the other side after they had closed the portal?
If anything behind the last remaining portal is obliterated once it collapses, then their inaction make sense. In that case, any rescue/salvage attempt will be impossible. However, their portals don't work that way.

* Or maybe negligent homicide. He would be responsible for any deaths resulting from his arson, so it very well could still be considered murder. He could have orchestrated everything so that no one was there. We don't know a great deal about the event, but it seems like he might have waited until everything closed down before doing it. Of course, he probably hadn't planned on it until he saw the microbots and hatched the plan right there.

* I don't know if it would be murder, but if you kill someone while committing another crime, you're considered responsible. Since Tadashi died due to a fire that Callaghan set while Callaghan was committing robbery, it would count as manslaughter, as it was an "unlawful killing without malice or intent." This is according to Wikipedia, anyway.

[[folder: Tadashi's death]]
Yokai/Callaghan says Tadashi's death is his own fault. As harsh as that is, isn't he kind of right? I'm in no way excusing his actions, but it sounds like he wasn't counting on anyone trying to rescue him, let alone Tadashi, who clearly willingly went into the fire, and I don't see what reason he would have to lie about anything to Hiro. Especially if he didn't cause the fire to begin with (which, while implied, is left ambiguous enough that it is possible he didn't). So was it a SenselessSacrifice or is Yokai truly responsible to some extent?

** A simpler explanation is that the chip is something along the lines of an SSD. Normally, Baymax keeps his personality in his RAM, and only accesses the chip when he needs to either access or update his "caregiving matrix".
*** When Hiro added the second chip, he had two databases to access, but the caregiving one was primary.
*** When it was removed, his personality wasn't replaced until Hiro gave him an order, because the caregiver was still in active memory.
*** And in the end, his caregiver persona was still active even with the chip removed, because Hiro DIDN'T give him a contradictory order.

**It seems that Baymax still working after his personality chip is removed is done more than once in the movie actually. On the scene where Hiro orders Baymax to destroy Yokai before removing his personality chip, Baymax, when the chip was removed, could still say something in his usual personality. That is, before the container with all the chips is closed. It is possible that there is some sort of WI-FI connection between the chips and Baymax, which would explain why Baymax was able to put the chip in his hand while still being himself. However, there didn't seem to be an open container on Baymax during that sad scene, so that is still something to ponder about.

* That's a good question. Rather than go for Yokai's mask and sever his connection, a more sound approach would have been to try to intercept whatever bandwidth the microbots operate on. Probably just didn't occur to Hiro and he was only thinking in terms of dealing with the man, not the machines (which is something that only finally clicks with him at the climax).

** The fighting chip isn't psychotic. It's still programmed to obey Hiro and Hiro hadn't given any particular command yet. Also, given previous events in the movie, it's entirely possible that Baymax pre-emptively altered the fighting chip - whether to contain part of his primary morals, to contain part of his primary personality, or simply to be able to act based on his personal desires and commands should his primary chip be removed.

* If the art book at least is anything to go by, no. The only thing it mentions is some extra tools for on the fly repairs (the small pouches on his belt), and flip open portable computers built into his gauntlets (which, unlike the tool pouches, might not have even been used in the film proper if i'm not mistaken). Whether on purpose or not, he's much like the traditional KidWithTheRemoteControl type characters, brilliant, but otherwise ill-equipped for anything when on their own. After all, like many have noted, the team never trained properly for the situations that they would eventually face; perhaps if they return to this universe in the future with a sequel, Hiro will have learned to build in some offensive/defensive capabilities into his own supersuit.
