** It even gets worse in episode 48: [[spoiler: Kitaro himself, angered at Neko's death, asks the other yōkai to stop their revenge plan until he speaks with Mana. Then blatantly blames her for killing Neko-Musume, accuses her to having lied to him and his "family" from the day they met about her powers (who Nanashi himself gave or unlocked in her...) and twists every single word she says to prove she already wanted to kill Neko-Musume. The whole while Mana's mother was lying injured in an hospital bed and Nanashi himself had just let Mana to believe she had passed away some moments before. No wonder Medama Oyaji blames Kitarō's anger when everything goes downhill]]

* Episode 49: We find out Nanashi's origins. Hundreds of years ago, Mana's ancestor and a yokai fell in love and the girl soon became pregnant. Unfortunately, both families found out and in their hate, they killed the lovers. The blood of both lovers mixed and Nanashi was born. All the new yokai knew was hate and he started his plan to destroy everything, yokai and humans alike.

* Episode 14 of the 2018 series has a strong subplot about the consequences of Kitarō's upbringing: due to his status as [[LastOfHisKind the last heir of the Yurei Tribe]], protector of mankind and ghouldom, orphan briefly cared by a human being and his diminutive ghastly father, Kitarō had no real childhood, [[ChildSoldier knowing nothing but the endless battle against injustice]]. As such he never had any childish dream, nor desired for anything but performing his duties, greatly saddening Medama Oyaji that keeps feeling he could have taken his burden away.
** Kitarō repays Medama Oyaji with a tearjerker of the good kind, telling him that while he had to take over his intended roles, he never stopped being grateful because he still had a kind father caring for him.
