* TheNotLoveInterest: Since the series is an adaptation of ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'', Dr. Wato Tachibana (aka Wato-san) naturally fulfills a lot of roles in her dynamic with Sherlock that would go to a love interest in another work. While their dynamic is colder than most versions, their growing bond forms the emotional core of the series. Wato is even kidnapped at one point to get Sherlock's cooperation in an IHaveYourWife situation. Sherlock even gets out of her funk in the finale for the specific purpose of saving Wato and sacrifices herself to save Wato from the BigBad, with Wato shown to be devastated by her death in the way a LoveInterest would normally be.
