Character mistake: In the KoF98 saga, before meeting the Orochi Female team, the protagonist says to Mature "If it's between the Orochis, then you should surrender against Male Orochi Team, then." The repetition of "then" is an obvious mistake, but the meaning of the sentence itself is also inscrutable.

Fatal Fury: King of Fighters
Character mistake: Both Geese and Andy are experts in martial arts and come from similar backgrounds (Geese and Andy's father trained under the same master), but Geese says in the cutscenes Andy is using "weird kung-fu", and Andy mentions in his win quote "Japanese Karate."
1st May 2020
Fatal Fury: King of Fighters
Character mistake: Playing as Joe Higashi, one of the preliminary cutscenes with Geese has him say "I wonder if Joe is Hurricane upper cut Joe." "Uppercut" is one word, not two.
30th Apr 2020
Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior
Character mistake: Karman Cole's generic win quote says "I can't believe you pressured me so much...I was SWEATTING bullets."
30th Apr 2020
The King of Fighters '94
Character mistake: In the mid-game cutscene with Rugal observing the progress of the team, if you pick the Fatal Fury team Rugal says "Hmmm. So they are the ones who toppled Geese and Klauser." The name of the villain of Fatal Fury 2 that Rugal is referencing is Wolfgang Krauser, with 2 Rs.

Bleach: Immortal Soul
Character mistake: In the fight against the monster in the park in chapter 1, Rukia says that you must be willing even "to sacrAfice your own life."
30th Apr 2020
The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: Commenting Kim's team matchup in KoF97, Chris from the New Faces Team says "an ex-convict and a Taekwondo instructor? Sounds like a tough match." He should say "Two ex-convicts", since the team is made of 3 people, with one being Kim (the Taekwondo instructor) and the other two are the criminals Choi and Chang - it is probably a mistranslation.

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the Cloth Cemetery event, Mu explains rather ambiguously that all Hell breaks loose and the "infection" happens because "Athena's occlusion has been loosened", while what he really means is "The Seal of Athena has been weakened."

The Rockford Files (1974)
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Character mistake: Clyde Russell tells Rockford to meet him at his place in "Ambazac Road in Bel Air." The name of the street in real life is Ambazac Way. (00:38:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins at the bar orders "Glencadam on the rocks", but it's been established since the pilot episode that he loathes ice in his drink of choice. (00:23:55)
28th Apr 2020
The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In "Even if you sigh", part of chapter 7 of KoF97, Choi Bounge says "we really tried to take Master Kim proud", instead of Make.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: The party is supposed to be "One of the premiere social events of the season", but the only people invited (Higgins knows for sure who is gonna come, so it's not like there's low attendance because of the weather) are a Prince from a fictional European state nobody knows about with his commoner wife, the editor of a poetry magazine that needs Robin's funds to survive, a sports star and Robin's accountant. 5 people in total, already all in Robin's pocket, and nobody else in attendance. While you could say that having royalty and a golden glove winner is certainly noteworthy, those people don't meet anyone else. Hardly a 'social event'. (00:04:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins is narrating one of his stories, this time implying that he helped Hemingway write "The Old Man and The Sea." Normally Higgins' stories are somewhat plausible because of factual accuracy that leaves room to be taken at face value, but here he says that it happened in "The Florida Keys, '53 or '54, it was." while "the manuscript was only in the outline stage." The novel was published in 1952. (00:10:30)
28th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins addresses constantly the Prince and Princess of Turbia as "Your Majesty." For an expert of protocol as Higgins, it's quite odd to make such a mistake; "Your Majesty" is used for royalty with a rank higher than Prince (kings, emperors). Paradoxically, Magnum gets it right, calling both "Your Highness." (00:06:30)
28th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: As he takes the elevator for the garage, Magnum's hat gets caught in the elevator doors before the camera cuts away. It's all fine on his head when he gets out. (00:42:15)
27th Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: The side story showing Aiolia trying to meet with the Grand Pope has a few minor mistakes (such as "I've need to meet with the GP", to Aphrodite).
27th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: In the opening narration, Magnum says "Take my good friend Marcus, for example. I woke up one day and realised I was 32 and I'd never had a chance to be 22." In the second part of the very pilot of the series, Magnum says to Alice "One day I woke up age 33 and realised I'd never been 23."

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Bickering with his pretend wife after risking his neck with the falling crates, Magnums says "we can stop playing house, I can go back to being a private detective, which is exactly what I should have been in the first place." Magnum has a verbal tic during the series and he fiercely corrects everyone when they call him a private eye, or detective, as he goes only by "investigator" (the I in P.I, after all). He's using the wrong word here. (00:22:35)
25th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Magnum says "You know what they say about samurai swords - you unsheathe 'em, you gotta draw blood!", but throughout the episode, Tozan drew his sword on Magnum and the villain and no blood has been drawn - in case of Magnum, there was no intention of it either.
24th Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In sidequest 10.4 (the one where he has to restore the temple of Lybra) Carlos says "Let me see think whether there's a good way"
