* ResetButton: Chapter 207 (volume 20) features a literal example that can be used to reset anything back to its original state or design. This was apparently used to revert Nate's [[Anime/YoKaiWatchShadowside Yo-kai Watch Arcane]] and Yo-kai Keystones back to the original watch and Yo-kai medals, respectively.

* RewatchBonus: Chapter 172 (volume 17) features a few lines from Whisper and Wazzat that make more sense when the reader knows it's their ''fifth time'' dealing with Nate, Jibanyan, and Runsure's AmnesiaLoop.

* AmnesiaLoop: Nate was so annoyed by his encounter with the Yo-kai Runsure in chapter 172 (volume 17) that he summoned Wazzat to help himself and Jibanyan forget it. Unfortunately, he runs into Runsure ''again'' and [[HereWeGoAgain the exact same encounter plays out]]. As Whisper notes at the end of the chapter, they already went through this loop ''five times''.

* DubInducedPlotHole: Ever wonder where Nate got Lord Enma's Yo-kai medal (or, for that matter, [[PalsWithJesus his phone number]]) in volume 13, despite the manga up to that point never showing him receiving either? That's because the media where he got the medal (specifically, the second movie and its manga adaptation) have [[NoExportForYou not been released outside of Japan]] as of March 2021.

Added DiffLines:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Nate's first Yo-kai Watch has a slightly different design than what was used in the first game and anime, and requires him to keep the search light on the Yo-kai to continue to see them, instead of it just being one-and-done. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Whisper in a bonus comic at the end of Volume 1, where he explains the watch's design wasn't finalized yet (as [[AdaptationFirst the manga began publication before the game came out in Japan]]), and was wondering when the design would be updated. 19 volumes and 4 watch revisions later, Nate's watch is finally reset to the first game's design and functionality.
