Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Fatal Confrontation - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa and Hyuga have their senseless head-to-head challenge, they have a low wall and a green hill and trees as background instead of the bleachers that were visible in the wider angles. (00:14:00)

The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: Taki dispossesses an adversary, and promptly two more run towards him. The animation skips during their run, with the advertising banners changing color between two frames. (00:06:25)

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: Morisaki makes the interception before Meiwa's number 8. In the reaction shot with the coach and Ishizaki, all of a sudden behind them it's full of people with a rather conspicuous tan who were nowhere to be seen a moment before. (00:15:05)

Soccer Is My Dream - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: Ishizaki makes an upbeat comment about Morisaki's performance, but Manabu takes exception. During the exchange, one of the boys in the background has green pants that turn blue and green again. (00:05:30)

The Verification Test - S1-E16

Other mistake: 15 players were picked for the team. Genzo is injured, 11 are playing. Three are MIA with no explanation. Morisaki has to parry 10 shots for every other player, he parries 100 total. Ryo Ishizaki though is still a substitute, so that would mean there's the unexplained absence of even one more team regular.

The Verification Test - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: After dinner, Roberto wants to speak with Tsubasa's mother. In the very first shot she's wearing a pale green shirt (like Genzo), but in the rest of their conversation she is wearing pink. (00:15:20)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Verification Test - S1-E16

Character mistake: Ishizaki bashes (quite literally, hitting him in the head with an angry punch) Morisaki because he did not catch Tsubasa's shot, saying it was easy. Someone drew the shot the wrong way or Ishizaki is a complete idiot - and all his teammates that do not say anything too. Tsubasa's shot was almost impossible to catch.

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Other mistake: Wakabayashi throws the ball to his teammates leading to the hat-trick; the ball in that shot is of the wrong size, almost twice as big as Genzo's head. (00:18:50)

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: The goalkeeper incites the rest of the team in their dastardly plan. He's facing right. Camera pans across the Shimizu team and their murderous faces, and the one to the far right, looking to the left, is the same keeper. (00:10:40)

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: End of the first half. Ryo hands a yellow towel to his right and a blue towel to his left. They are swapped around in the reverse shot, and Shingo Takasugi is standing with them too. (00:07:25)

An Unfair Enemy - S1-E15

Trivia: To the left of the frame, someone in attendance behind Maruyama when she praises Wakabayashi's save has the jaw disjointed from the rest of the head. It's a "cameo" featuring a character from Urusei Yatsura, Ryunosuke's father. Also in attendance another character with a design that stands out from the rest, which seems to be Sakurambo, again from Urusei Yatsura. (00:06:07)

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Trivia: Behind Sanae as she squeals Tsubasa's name before the kick off, someone snuck in a 'cameo appearance' by Yuu Morisawa, the main character of the Creamy Mami anime, perfectly recognizable in her usual attire. (00:14:45)
