* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear if this series takes place before, during, or after ''Big Hero 6: The Series'', or if it's in an alternate continuity. The closest the show ever comes is acknowledging that there is a "Big Hero 6" team when Mbita declares the group to be "Little Hero 6" after rescuing Baymax, who then [[DontExplainTheJoke says it's funny because there is a Big Hero 6]].

If it does take place in the same continuity as the previous series, it at least takes place after the series premiere 'Baymax Returns'. The reformed mascot villains are never shown in the Baymax! premiere Cass, despite ending the original show working as staff at the Lucky Cat Cafe, indicating that either The Mascot Upshot hasn't occurred yet or they went back to their old owners after Big Hero 6: The Series concluded.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Baymax tells Mbita he needs histamine shots for his fish allergies, Mbita kicks Baymax out of his van and ''drives the hell away'', both because he's not ready to get shots from a random balloon robot and also because he's in denial of being unable to continue his job as a fish soup salesman.



* SymbolicallyBrokenObject: Mbita's most prized possession is a wooden ladle witht he words "Love. Life. Fish." carved onto it. During the chase, the section with the word "Fish" gets removed, representing that he can no longer run the fish soup shop due to his allergies. However, it also represents that his future is open-ended and that there's a world of possibilities for him.

** Mbita literally ''drives away'' from Baymax to avoid getting an allergy shot, since he doesn't want to accept that he's developed a fish allergy and can no longer continue the family business. He realizes his mistake when his allergic reaction causes him to crash, and outright asks Baymax to give him the shot.

* TamponRun: Baymax makes one in the third episode, going to fetch some menstrual products for Sofia. However, the trope's usual use is turned on its head; the only embarrassed person is Sofia herself. Baymax is very casual about it, since getting medical supplies for a patient is the most normal thing in the world for him. The regular gag of a wall of products is played straight, as Baymax is baffled by the selection and turns to the other shoppers for help. He gets an array of suggestions from all across the spectrum, including a man there getting pads for his daughter, who all treat shopping for menstrual products as a completely normal thing to do, openly discussing it, to illustrate the episode's {{Aesop}} that periods are nothing to be embarrassed about. Baymax ends up purchasing every product recommended to him, since it's her first time needing them and he has no baseline to judge the best option for her.
