Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Tsubasa moves up the ditch with a diagonal strafing. He then answers Sanae's questions but suddenly on that same ditch, by his feet, Roberto Hongo is resting, sleeping. If he were sleeping on the other side of the road (as it seems when he gets up later) then the feet of the characters in that first shot were facing the wrong way. (00:08:50)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The inside of the truck Tsubasa and his mom ride in has stuff that change color/arrangement between shots. For instance, there's a beige box on top of the yellow and blue trunk next to Natsuko Ozora that is gone randomly in the aerial shots and when Yayoi is chasing them. (00:02:40)

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Roberto is looking at the team having a laugh with the still injured Ishizaki, there are 10 of them in the first shot with no keeper included and 10 including the keeper in the second. Both are wrong though, since Ryo has a substitute that is playing, so should be 11 players all along. Later in the episode when they run for the special training, it's 12 people, with Ishizaki still sidelined, but in the close-up of Roberto's foot you can see them run past, and it's 11 players. (00:07:05 - 00:10:10)

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Taro Misaki's flashback starts with him juggling the ball as he wears a pink shirt and black pants. The pants change to green in the next shot, but even more surprising, he gets blue hair. (00:09:45)

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Mr. "OONN", the goalkeeper of Urabe's team, gets to wear a uniform completely different from his teammate's, but we saw him walk into the stadium exactly with the same tracksuit as the others 2 episodes earlier. And that he's wearing again in this same episode after the decisive goal. (00:07:05 - 00:13:45)

A Perfect Duo - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Wakabayashi is still on all fours, dejected after being bested by Tsubasa. He lost his baseball cap parrying the shot in the right corner, but now both his beret and his wounded pride are towards the opposite side of the goal. (00:05:00)

A Perfect Duo - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Ishizaki kicks the air to show that the injury is no biggie, and then clutches the injured ankle. Which was the right ankle, but his hand is on the left one. (00:04:50)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Masaru parries with his face the shot that beat the keeper. He does so being close to the left post, but when the scene is over he's in the middle of the goal. (00:09:40)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Roberto instructs the players to take their football everywhere. Ryo is the first to do so, but the soccer balls are in different positions from the beginning of the scene when he started the speech, even if Roberto hasn't moved. (00:02:20 - 00:03:20)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Ryo tells Roberto that a drunkard like him is unfit to be the coach, next to him there's someone with an orange jersey, but there's nobody wearing that color in the wider shots. (00:21:10)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Tsubasa dribbles 9 to 11 players in his first sprint, never stops advancing when tackled (he jumps over the offenders), dribbles 5 more, but in front of the penalty area there are at least 8 new guys ready for him. (00:07:05)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Tsubasa is athletic and quick and goes straight towards the goal starting from the kick-off spot at midfield, but a couple of opponents he dribbled try to tackle him again, and are incoherently shown as tackling from the front even if they came from behind. (00:07:00)
