From being blamed for his parents' divorce by his [[YourCheatingHeart philandering]] father, to being ''too'' popular with the female staff at a hospital he worked in, which resulted in fights.

* SheCleansUpNicely: A peculiar GenderFlip case where she wears a suit, much to the shock of the Pipe Cat Bar detectives. The reason for that is because her son is visiting her.

In the OVA, it extends to him tracking Sherlock's movements and having a collection of his childhood valuables. Every time goes home he would watch over his little brother through his hidden cameras.
* MyBrotherIsOffLimits: He doesn't like how Watson is close to Sherlock. In the OVA, he prepares a stack of voodoo dolls of Watson where he directs his anger on them whenever Watson shows up on his camera feeds.

* TragicVillain: A downplayed example. [[spoiler: He ''was'' a very messed up kid, but he never was an evil person right from the beginning. With Alex's help, he was able to live a normal life, but after her death, he started developing a murderous intent towards her killer. Despite this, there was hope for him, but after his murder of Jack, that hope was totally crushed, just like Sherlock says. Another important fact to consider is that he was just ''16'' years old. Had he been provided ''some'' help, he probably wouldn't have turned evil. And for all his talk about wanting to have been the "one who killed Alex", Carlyle's side of the story reveals that he ''did'' care about her, though he himself could not realize it. ]]

Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Outside of Watson and Moriarty, none of the other Kabukichou detectives particularly ''like'' Sherlock; partly because Sherlock tends to show them up when it comes to solving cases but mostly because his anti-social behavior makes him hard to tolerate. This comes to ahead in episode 23 where [[spoiler: Sherlock mistakenly becomes the prime suspect of a murder. Watson asks the other detectives to help prove his innocence but they're all reluctant to get involved. Kyogoku ends up putting it bluntly that if it was ''Watson'' in the position, they'd have no problem getting involved and while they do eventually help, it does call to question if they would have had Watson not begged.]]
