** Oddly enough, Shan Yu reacting to Mulan revealing herself as the "soldier from the mountains". There's no mockery, no disbelief, just Shan Yu recognizing Mulan as his true WorthyOpponent, and putting all of his effort into getting payback.

** When Mulan sneaks into her parents' bedchamber and steals the commission, Mulan briefly looks at her asleep father with regret and uncertainty before her expression changes to one of resolved endearment -- a subtle showing that no matter what consequences she might incur, be it dishonor to her family or execution by law, Mulan is truly doing this out of love.

* As funny as the bathing scene is, there's something to be said for how Yao, Ling, and Chien Po almost immediately show up running and laughing to swim in the lake right after Mulan gets in, and aren't surprised to see her. Yao immediately and invitingly calls out "Hey, Ping!" once they're close to her, and Ling acknowledges that the trio were rude to her before and asks to start over, the gang properly introducing themselves right before automatically trying to include her in playing with them. It's possible they were also thinking of bathing that night, noticed their awkward-but-smart newfound training buddy Ping heading off to take a dip, and thought that joining "him" would be a great opportunity to make amends and memories, inviting "him" into their friend circle!

That doesn't matter to Shang; he's all about TakingTheHeat so that the woman who saved his life isn't executed.
