* DarkerAndEdgier: While the ''Kitaro'' franchise is no stranger to creepy, dark, and downright scary content, this installment gets into brass tacks very quickly, with a lot more blood and gore than there usually would be in the TV series.

* BuddyCopShow: What sets this apart from many ''Kitaro'' installments is this unique presentation. Instead of a monster/problem of the week format, this movie is more about a supernatural drug bust with a human and a yokai teaming up to track it and resolve the problem.

''Kitaro Birth: The Mystery of Gegege'' (''Kitaro Tanjou: Gegege no Nazo'') is a 2023 animated movie and an installment in the ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro'' franchise set in continuity with its 2018 adaptation. While the movie was made in celebration of creator Shigeru Mizuki's 100th birthday, it is as the title implies a retelling of Kitaro's origin story. This time around, however, some major changes have been made--putting major focus on the human man Mizuki, who raised Kitaro after burying his parents; and a pre-rot Medama Oyaji, now a longtime friend. Together the two men investigate the mysterious circumstances concerning M, a supernatural drug that's begun to crop up.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Mizuki eventually comes around (a little) in ''The Birth of Kitaro'', the movie adaptation of the same story makes him friendly towards Kitaro and his family from the start, and with Daddy Eyeball in particular before his rot set in.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Mizuki original appearance had him encounter the couple that would become Kitaro's parents close to the end of their lives, and he meets Kitaro himself at their grave. In the ''Kitaro Birth'' movie, Mizuki knows the parents in their pre-necrotic state, and due to Kitaro being born earlier than he was in the manga, he's on friendly terms with the boy.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Mizuki Big time. Mizuki, in his original appearance had him encounter appearance, was only able to interview Medama Oyaji and his wife before they both died, and his relationship with the couple that would become Kitaro's parents close to the end of their lives, and he meets young Kitaro himself at their grave. In wasn't always a healthy one (in fact, in one version he ''dropped'' the ''Kitaro Birth'' newborn Kitaro after being spooked by him, giving him his iconic look). In this movie, however, Mizuki knows the parents in their pre-necrotic state, and due to Kitaro being born earlier than he was in the manga, Medama Oyaji have known each other much longer, and as such he's on friendly terms welcomed as a second father to Kitaro.
