For example, rudolf being involved in some crime can happen to many people who aren't "ill" or "screwed" up, so it doesn't prove anything. Of course, one can say he just wasn't affected, or was a little lucky. thing is, all of the siblings have their little issues - and I don't really think that's caused by inbreeding, even if the Ushiromyia's did something like that.

That's true. I guess there's always the chance that the Ushiromiya's upbringings made them that way. After all, terrible, traumatizing childhood = messed up life. And besides, if Kinzo's always yatterring away about how people with Ushiromiya blood are the best people in the world, it wouldn't really cause the children's self esteem to decrease, do you think?

There is the chance that the children just happened to each have some individual problems coincidentally, but considering these problems occur with all four siblings, it's probably more likely that there is a substantial reason for this. (At the bare minimum, you could just say that, 'the Gold/Kinzo's reputation screwed them up'.)

And about Rudolf, it's been recorded that many criminals do possess poor social skills. Let's leave it at that.
