* In the very first case, Hajime [[spoiler: should have been tipped off that someone brought a functional weapon to the theater when Literature/PhantomOfTheOpera needed no such thing. However, Hajime did admit that he didn't read the entire script the first time, he should have noticed that someone sneaked in a weapon.]]

** Kindaichi, for one, is ''tired'' of dealing with those kinds of cases as a 37-year-old adult and just wants to live a normal life as a SalaryMan. Unfortunately for him, this kind trouble just seems to be present wherever he goes, forcing him to act. Imagine how much MiscarriageOfJustice might have taken place, had Kindaichi decided to simply turn a blind eye to the murders taking place due to sheer fatigue towards detective responsibilities, regardless of whether he and/or those around him are not among the intended targets.

* While the individual mysteries stand on their own quite well, if you think a little too hard about the implications of the series as a whole, you might realize just how many grisly murder scenes Hajime and his pals have personally witnessed and investigated. They aren't just detectives doing a job-- they're kids trying to go about their lives. They never seem to get to have a field trip, a vacation or even a stint at cram school that doesn't lead to them stumbling into some kind of gory spectacle. On many occasions, they themselves have been the target of attempted murder, and their own classmates have died or been revealed as murderers. What's holding their psyches together at this point is really anyone's guess.

* Miyuki, often discussed as Fudo High's honor student, doesn't think or consider one bit that the name ''Kallima inachus'' given by one of the suspects in ''The Undying Buttefly'' case is a binomial name.

* Similar to many detective genre stories such as [[Manga/DetectiveConan Detective Conan]], most if not all cases in this series would possibly remain unsolved without Kindaichi's involvement. In one case, the culprit was smart enough to put a decoy trick and misleaded Inspector Akechi, one of the best investigator in Tokyo Police Department.

** [[spoiler:This is a very common and widely accepted illustrative portrayal in detective manga, for the sake of keeping the identity of the killer hidden. This is done similarly in Detective Conan manga, where the unidentifiable shadowy killer figure of the week has a lean body build and the final revealed culprit having a completely different body build. The main point is that you are supposed to use other clues to deduce the identity of the killer, and not just by using that single illustrated panel for your logic deductions.]]

* Itsuki is said to be hydrophobic after Oriental Cruise accident 3 years prior to Lake Hiren's case. However, he can be seen going on ships in some cases, notably ''Amakusa Treasure Murder Case'' and ''Hitogata Island Murder Case''. The latter is rather jarring because the case happened after Itsuki made a CallBack about him being afraid of water.

* Too funny to be considered FridgeHorror: [[spoiler: That marijuana smoke from the huge farm fire]] in Mummy's Curse has to go somewhere.

* From ''Amakusa Treasure Legend Murder Case'': Kindaichi was attacked by the weekly ScoobyDooHoax but survive. From there, readers can see that the one who attacked Kindaichi had [[spoiler:normal build]]. Later, Kindaichi revealed that the killer was [[spoiler:Wada Morio, a person who was overweight at best.]] Overlooked character design by the illustrator?

** [[spoiler:It's already been established earlier that the president of theatre club was the one bringing it. The reason, however, is unknown. This doesn't change the fact that it's unnecessary to the plot.]]
