The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The pile of bread that Longtao brings for breakfast changes between shots. (00:11:10)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 3 - S2-E3

Plot hole: The crowd freaks out when Matsuoka's body is found and Kindaichi happens to be standing in front of it, gun in hand. That's all sorts of silly though, not only because the killer could have never predicted that turn of events, but also because Kindaichi roamed the streets looking for Matsuoka, gun in hand the whole time (it's a different gun from the one Matsuoka is killed with), and it's a girl screaming that draws everyone's attention to the murder. What about the two gunshots? Everyone in the background was entirely unfazed. It also creates a separate issue in the ending, since the plan to frame Kindaichi was supposed to be 'perfect' but the different gun would have spoiled it. (00:08:35)

Continuity mistake: In the post-credit photo montage, Heidern (without his uniform) wears the eyepatch on the right eye, but his various character portraits in the selection screen, victory screen and ending show him with the eyepatch on the left eye. (in later instalments of the series he is predominantly shown with the right eye missing, actually).

Character mistake: In the first Rugal cutscene for the Ikari Warriors team, Rugal fails at basic grammar when he says "It seems that ARE friends need to be dealt with."

Continuity mistake: When Naoto and Ruriko are on the park bench, and he tries to make up some story about where did he spend the past decade, Natsuna's scarf is folded in a different way in the different main angles of the conversation. (01:03:20)

Continuity mistake: When Naoto witnesses White Tiger putting Yellow Tiger against the ropes, his left hand is on the third bar of the door. Cut to White Tiger gloating, and Naoto is gripping the second bar. Similarly, when later Jo finishes Dan off breaking his leg, sometimes between Naoto's hands there are 4 bars or 5 even if his hands move always up and down the same bars. (00:46:25)

Revealing mistake: During Black Mask's fight against Salamander, he dodges the enemy's fire and then sweeps him off his feet. But Salamander's fall is blocked in midair by obvious wirework to give Tiger a chance to punch him in midair. (00:32:00)

Revealing mistake: When the kids are fighting and one of them puts the other in a Boston Crab hold, a third kid, the main character, breaks up the fight by, well, embarrassing to say, poking the assailant in the butthole with two fingers. Jo rolls away and keeps screaming indicating that he got hurt not just in his pride, but you could easily see that no such action was actually perpetrated. (00:19:15)

Revealing mistake: The female head trainer of the Tiger's Den puts a blindfold on and with a kick KOs the trainee that was sparring with the children. In the close-up of the kick you can see it is miles away from connecting. (00:17:05)

Continuity mistake: After the Abebo murders, tempers run high at the meeting of the clan. The sinister Sakoda accuses the one raising objections to be a wimp, and the guy slams his fists on the table. The president of the meeting says "stop it"; Sonny Chiba is leaning forward with both hands, but in the next shot he has one hand in front and one in the back. (00:20:00)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Plot hole: It's unreasonable, nor is explained in the denouement at the end of this arc, how did the murderer, who stayed behind everyone else on purpose, get to Shinomiya who was ahead of everyone, went inside the cave before everyone else and didn't have a reason to hide, cooperate with him or anything of the sort.

Other mistake: When Kindaichi rushes to Longtao's rescue, he is not carrying the flashlight with him. He's in a deep cave bunker with no light at all (plot point mere moments earlier), he should be blind as a bat. In the following episode he even searches for clues in the cave, again without the light.

Other mistake: The two survivors from 18 years prior approach the building with nothing on their person, then suddenly Matsuoka has a flashlight, which he gives to Shinomiya as he goes inside alone. Kindaichi and Longtao arrive, completely unprepared to any dungeon crawling, and the three of them go in with yet another flashlight. (00:13:50)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Kindaichi searches Akechi's wallet with his right hand, using the left hand to hold the wallet itself, but hands Longtao the taxi receipt using the left hand. (00:13:05)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi falls from the cart, the boxes around him are placed in a way that it's not just incongruous continuity-wise from shot to shot, but is also nonsensical; in one shot for instance he has a box through each leg, but since Longtao smuggled him out inside them, both legs had to be inside the same box; the cardboard was surrounding him. (00:12:30)

Continuity mistake: When Longtao carts away from the hotel the boxes, they are all the same texture, but when the wheel is caught in the step, the middle box is striped. (00:12:30)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Inside the laundry cart, Kindaichi asks Longtao where does he bring the linens. The cloth on top of his head slips behind him, but this happens again in the next shot; it's back on his head and drops all the way down again. (00:09:35)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1

Character mistake: For being a genius raised abroad, Takato's English pronunciation is abysmal - check out when he says the line about the magic crystal on stage. (00:12:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Russell Crowe's stuntman leaps through the non-stained office window in two different ways in the scene when he's held at gunpoint by the two henchmen. (00:20:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The younger gangster (credited as 'Blueface' for what happens later in the scene) is sitting on his heels and asks a first time "Where is Amelia?" He stands, and in the next shot he's standing, again, and he even has both hands on the floor, which he hadn't in the first shot. (00:18:30)
