Episode 4: Princess of the Lost Kingdom
- It's established that denizens of Crystalia emit a tinkling noise when laughing. This later allows Juru to see through Galza's lies when he claimed Emperor Yodon brainwashed him and "robbed him of his emotions", as in his vision he heard Galza emit that very same sound after he kills Oradin. Thing is, Mabushina herself was there in person and within earshot; shouldn't she have heard it as well, and therefore realized Galza was lying from the start?
- Probably same reason people don't realize what kind of noise they do when they breath until consciously try to hear it, usually because someone points it out, she is aware of the noise existing but her mind usually filters it.
Whereabouts of the Queen of Crystalia?
- Where IS the Queen of Crystalia in all of this? With every king, there has to be a queen at his side. Has anything been mentioned or brought up at all regarding Mabushina and Takamichi's mother? Does she even know what happened to her husband? Is she missing or dead? Surely something will come up regarding Oradin's wife, right?
- While Toku is known for dropping plot threads long before we get remotely near a satisfying conclusion, i'd agree that typically a queen can't just not exist without a reason. Takamichi gives us the knowledge that she seemingly was gone before he arrived, otherwise we'd have seen her alongside him in the family shot. Perhaps her potential reveal will come with more lore about Crystalia, and perhaps why Galza was turned?
- Scans released within the last few days seems to show not only another female Crystalian which is likely the Queen, but the hunt Takamichi is on might be due to her. So you should get your answers soon enough.
- Well Episode 18 reveals what happened: the Queen died because of the curse of the Witch of the Stagnant Sea's hand. Considering that Mabushina is at risk of being under the same curse, we may be getting some more lore along with another general on the way.

Whereabouts the rest of the Crystalians?
- The only inhabitants of Crystalia we've seen are the royal family; we see no hint whatsoever of the smallfolk, not even a scene of them panicking when Yodonheim invaded. Not to mention that the palace is strangely devoid of guards, which are part and parcel of a royal household; one would think they would be present when Carantula invaded the palace, or that Oradin would have least taken a squad with him when he went to confront Numajo.
- Watsonian explanation: everyone in Crystalia either fled like there's no tomorrow or they were killed by Yodonheim. Also, Oradin was taken completely off-guard so there was no way that he could get a squad in time to take down Carantula or Galza. Doylist explanation: budget and censorship (most likely the former) didn't really allow for it. Crystalia's scenery probably took a toll on the budget so they decided to forgo the rest of the Crystalians for the sake of moving the story along.
Episode 38: Watching My Uncle's Moon
- Oradin witnessing Galza attempt to straight-up murder his own nephew should have clued him in that he was a snake from the very beginning, and yet he's surprised when Galza ends up betraying Crystalia to Yodonheim in Episode: ZERO...? Also, you'd think that 1) after witnessing the murder attempt, he would have kept a closer eye on Galza, which might have prevented his betrayal, and 2) that Oradin would've told Takamichi as soon as possible.
- It might just be a continuity issue more than anything. A plausible explanation might be is that Oradin probably knew deep-down that Galza was truly malicious, but he ignored it because he's his brother. After all, would you want to believe that your own brother is a horrible person?
Kiba Basra’s arrival?
- How did Kiba Basra appear on Earth in episode 39? It’s been consistently stated that Jamenju can only appear when enough Yami energy is gathered.
- Yodonheim probably gathered Dark Energy off-camera in a convert fashion. Jamen Beasts have appeared without a Jamenshi before, so it's not entirely surprising that Kiba Basra appeared out of nowhere.
Episode 42: Battle Without Honor
- How wasn't Yodonna aware of the fact that she's Yodon's split personality until Galza became one himself in episode 42? She seemed to be asleep until Galza got to Emperor Yodon's mind and woke her up. In the same episode it's revealed that whatever personality the emperor takes depends on whoever sits on a throne in his subconscious. If Yodonna wasn't aware that she's a split personality of Yodon, how did Yodon changed into her?
