Yami no dêmon dekki - S1-E5

Character mistake: The Shadow Duelist activates the effect of Terrorking Archfiend, where he states if the monster is targeted by an opponent's card, a number between 1 and 6 is chosen at random, and if the number selected is 2 or 5, then Terrorking Archfiend won't be affected by it. Chumley then states the odds are in Jaden's favour, to which Syrus dismisses this, saying he flunked math. However, Chumley is actually correct, as the odds for Jaden are 4 in 6, whereas the odds for the duelist are 2 in 6. (00:15:45 - 00:16:09)

Grave Risk: Part 1 - S1-E27

Character mistake: The episode opens late at night when Syrus overhears Banner on a call where he discusses burying Jaden alive. The next morning is a classroom scene where Banner says the field trip will take place on Saturday at 7am, and the next scene shows Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Alexis outside the school at 7am waiting for Banner to arrive. In this scene, Syrus tells Jaden he heard Banner talk about burying Jaden alive the previous night, but by this point, at least two nights must have passed. (00:03:48)

For the Sake of Syrus - S1-E8

Character mistake: When Chumley falls off the tree and his cards fall on the ground, Jaden picks up one and comments "There's like, a zillion koala cards down here" when he looks at it. However, all the other cards on the ground are face down and he only looked at one card, so there would be no way for him to know if there were a lot of koala cards. (00:03:58)

Sibling Rivalry - S1-E35

Character mistake: When Slade is giving Chazz the conditions for the duel, he says "You're only allowed to duel with monsters with less than 500 life points." What he meant to say was attack points, as life points are the amount the duelist has during the duel, whereas attack points are the points that the duel monsters have. (00:04:18)

Nature of the Draw - S1-E17

Character mistake: Jaden tells Damon that because of Elemental Hero Flame Wingman's ability, he will lose life points equal to half his destroyed monster's attack points. This is incorrect, as Damon will actually lose life points equal to the full attack points of the destroyed monster. He has used this card multiple times throughout the series, so this isn't a mistake he should have made. (00:18:25)

Tag Team Trial: Part 2 - S1-E11

Other mistake: Syrus summons to the field Drillroid and has it attack the Gate Guardian in defense mode, but is blocked by Defence Wall because of its effect, and Defense Wall is destroyed. Because of this, Jaden and Syrus lose 500 Life Points. While it does seem logical that their life points would go down because Drillroid has 1600 attack points and Defense Wall has 2100 defense points, they should not lose life points in the first place. This is mainly due to the fact that Drillroid's effect causes a defense position monster to be destroyed instantly, without losing life points. If Drillroid was capable of destroying Defence Wall, then their life points should have remained at 1700. (00:08:00)
