Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the fight with Cassios, blood keeps changing position on the face of the beastly man, in particular on his chin and above the right eyebrow. He also bleeds profusely on his shoulder, and plenty at the beginning runs down his other arm and hand, but there's no trace in any of the subsequent drawings, only the face stays bloodied. (00:05:50 - 00:11:30)
