Fridge Brilliance
- Yoh and Hao's coffee scene can be really deep despite the context. Through this we learn that Yoh does not hate Hao or he is afraid of him unlike his friends. Yoh instead wishes to befriend Hao but he cannot feel love from Hao since his interest lies more on people that act like him. As a result, Yoh does not call Hao "Brother" but is waiting for the right moment. Yoh himself considers Hao more mature than him even though Anna refers to Hao as a strong baby which makes him try more coffee since Hao called him a kid. Once Hao unconsciously opens up and talks with his mother Yoh finally calls Hao "Big brother" since he is now sure Hao can love.
- Yoh and company complain that Dracula shouldn't be able to walk around out in the sunlight, to which Dracula replies by telling them not to confuse him with what human fiction says about him. In the original story, Dracula was also able to walk around in sunlight (though he wasn't able to use any of his powers.)
- Regarding Anna's pregnancy:
- When Redseb comments that he imagines his mother would have been like Anna if she was alive, Anna gets a little flustered: Of course, she is already pregnant.
- When Anna faces Hao he tried to goad her into unleashing her whole power, remarking that she was uncharacteristically weak. This makes sense after realizing she's several months into her pregnancy- three months at the very least. So either Hana was already taking his toll or she was purposely holding back so as not to strain her body too much and harm her unborn son. Also, Hao cannot read her mind, so he'd be unaware of that fact. Only Yoh and Anna knew about Hana at the time.
Fridge Horror
- The first anime accidentally creates one in its Gecko Ending: Yoh kills Hao by cleaving him and the golden Spirit of Fire in two. True, it may be awesome, but due to Hao's nature, he will be reborn in 500 years, and without anyone to convince him to stop his misanthropic ways, he will try to become the Shaman King again and destroy humanity.
- There's also the problem involving Yoh and Anna's future.Shaman King: Flowers reveals that a couple of years after the original manga, they and their son Hana were blown to pieces and killed in the Middle East, but were revived by Hao, who was the Shaman King. As Hao is dead in this continuity, unless Yoh or one of his friends becomes the Shaman King instead of him, it's likely they will die and stay that way.
- Possibly averted: The reason the above incident happened was because Hao's predecessor as the Shaman King, YVS, was NOT happy in the slightest with someone like Hao becoming the new Shaman King, and so he and Yosuke attacked his closest family and followers. As YVS is still the Shaman King in this continuity and Hao tried to usurp him by force, failed and died, he holds no ill will towards Yoh, Ana and Hana and will most likely leave them in peace. Given the fact Yoh saved him from being usurped, he will most likely become an ally and remain so as long as Yoh doesn't dismantle the system he built.
- Also, given Yoh bears half of Hao's soul, he also may be part of Enma's deal to revive every 500 years. If that is true, then Yoh will reincarnate too and protect the world from his brother.
