Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa advances from kick-off, we see beaver-toothed Taki and another nondescript player running towards him, but in the next shot the one he is dribbling is Mamoru Izawa. (00:04:10)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After conceding, Nankatsu moves forward on a kick-off. Tsubasa, Ryo Ishizaki and another nondescript player are the ones advancing, but the generic guy is quickly replaced by Okawa. (00:03:45)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Sanae's patchwork flag has its patches positioned differently since the previous episode. The red one is the closest to the pole instead of being in the bottom further corner. (00:03:25)

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Other mistake: Melissa Manchester and Neil Ross voice minor characters in this episode. The end credits list them like this though; "Additional Voices - Melissa Manchester as Neil Ross." It should have been "And", of course. (00:21:55)

Christmas With the Joker - S1-E38

Robin: OK, I'll make a deal with you. If we go out on patrol, and Gotham is quiet, with no sign of the Joker, we come back here, have Christmas dinner, and watch It's A Wonderful Life.
Batman: You know, I've never seen that. I could never get past the title.

Batman: Someone is setting me up
Alfred: My Heavens! You mean it was not you tossing guards out of windows last night?
Batman: I only toss butlers, Alfred.

East Side Sushi (2014)

Continuity mistake: Juana's dad buys her a bottle of lime juice hoping she can save time that way, not having to squeeze it herself fresh. She passes the bottle back to him holding it by the middle section in one shot, and by the neck in the next. (00:06:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: In the last shot of the team cheering for Mr. Oozora's promise of a meaty treat, the 11 members of the team are all wearing the same jersey and shorts, including the keeper. (00:18:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Genzo is beaten by Tsubasa's corner kick, but the post denies him. The reaction shot on Sanae shows her with a flag that is much smaller than the one she was holding in the other shots. Same when that same angle is shown again, like after the goal. (00:16:40 - 00:21:50)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Shuutetsu team are doubting themselves, the players look towards Genzo. During his close-up when he ponders "It's not only because of Tsubasa that we aren't scoring", his logo is missing from the cap. (00:10:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa once more denies Kisugi the chance to shoot to goal, his tackle (which would have been a foul anyway) sweeps off his left leg or his right leg depending on the shot. (00:07:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Taro Misaki is telling the Hitlerian groundskeeper that he'll go watch the game for a bit despite his gloomy outlook, his shoes are blue, but they are yellow/brown in the rest of the episode. (00:04:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Character mistake: The climactic football match takes place at 2 PM, but the French and Italian dubs have Roberto mention that he's anxious to see how Tsubasa ("Oliver") will play "tonight." (00:06:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Other mistake: Roberto meets Genzo at the shrine in the early morning, and Genzo is pumped up and ready to go to the match. In another scene, Roberto is at the stadium hanging out on his own, but Genzo still hasn't got to the stadium and will arrive only much later when the match is about to begin.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Factual error: If we had to go by the pre-kickoff aerial shot, Shuutetsu is playing with a 2-3-5, which is definitely not a normal soccer formation - and we never see during the actual play anything close to the team having 5 forwards. Also, the linesmen are infield instead of behind the sidelines. (00:17:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Trivia: When Sanae starts waving the flag she made for Tsubasa, in the background you can see a couple of grossly disproportional characters most likely drawn as a joke by some animator, and even the Road Runner. (00:14:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Other mistake: After the scene with Roberto and Tsubasa's mom, look behind the lanes of the 200 meters (above the fifth); one of the athletes in the background is sitting in midair. (00:07:20)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Other mistake: Eleven Nankatsu players run past the 4 Shuutetsu guys who are looking for Genzo. They all wear the team jersey, the keeper is missing. They have just players total, 10 plus the keeper, the extra player was never supposed to be there. (00:04:05)
