Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: In the Italian dub, Ryo ("Bruce Harper" as he is known in international versions)'s mom yells at him for running away with the football...but Ryo is not carrying any ball. (00:05:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Other mistake: Supporters cheer Ishizaki when he is trying to break the birdcage tactic. One of the guys who screams at him though is wearing the "S" jersey Shuutetsu supporters wear. (00:17:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Tsubasa's dad spurs him before the second half telling him that he hates losers, there are trees in the background. He is in the stadium with everyone else. (00:19:35)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: Masaru apologizes for the blunder (he butted heads with a teammate). Tsubasa cheers the rest of the team; look at the goalkeeper. He's wearing the same uniform as the rest of the players instead of his red jersey. (00:08:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: In the opening shot of the dinner scene, Tsubasa's soccer ball is on the chair next to him and as logic dictates it is below table level. Later though it is much higher. Conversely, Roberto's head in other shots is so low that looks like he's sitting on the floor. (00:04:45)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: Tsubasa's mom calls him because the movers' truck is leaving. He kicks the ball outside the window, and is downstairs to catch it, quite the impossible feat especially when you factor in that he kicked the ball with not much of a vertical trajectory, almost in a straight parabolic pattern out of the window, and meanwhile he also found time to wear and fasten his shoes. And it's not even played up as something strange. (00:03:00)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Other mistake: Needless to say, having a football on your belly can't cushion the impact with a truck. Even forgiving this obviously cartoonish impossibility, still the way Tsubasa lands looks all kinds of wrong, with the forward momentum instantly halted as the ball touches the ground again.
