* HarsherInHindsight: B.T.'s criminal, anti-social behavior is hard to enjoy, even if he is a NobleDemon who sincerely cares for Koichi, given that [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Dio]] [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Brando]], an {{expy}} of him, would viciously deconstruct each and every last aspect of B.T.'s character and become easily one of the most evil characters that Creator/HirohikoAraki has ever written.

** Manabu and B.T. make a bet for the former getting to have Koichi's dog if he wins, while Koichi keeps it if he loses by using ants and two pieces of candy, with Manabu secretly cheating by spraying pesticide ahead of time in the place that B.T. chose. Creator/HirohikoAraki would use this exact scenario yet again in [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]], only this time, instead of ants, it's a cat, and instead of two pieces of candy, it's two pieces of meat, with the cheat being D'arby secretly owning the cat, leading to it snatching the piece of meat that he chose before the one that Polnareff chose.

* ValuesDissonance: Reading it nowadays, even putting aside his now famous author's legacy, the series read as a regular KidDetective story. But back when it was published it was universally despised, even by most of the staff of ''Magazine/ShonenJump'' where it was published in 1983. The main character being an AntiHero with the FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon clashed with the magazine's core values of friendship and selfless heroism, the stylized art style was considered subpar to boot, and the series was quickly (even by the magazine's infamous standards) cancelled after only 6 chapters. Needless to say that it has been VindicatedByHistory since, and the magazine itself has published a lot more twisted AntiHero mystery stories after that (most notably ''Manga/YuGiOh'', ''Manga/DeathNote'', and ''Manga/MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro'').
