Yami no dêmon dekki - S1-E5

Character mistake: The Shadow Duelist activates the effect of Terrorking Archfiend, where he states if the monster is targeted by an opponent's card, a number between 1 and 6 is chosen at random, and if the number selected is 2 or 5, then Terrorking Archfiend won't be affected by it. Chumley then states the odds are in Jaden's favour, to which Syrus dismisses this, saying he flunked math. However, Chumley is actually correct, as the odds for Jaden are 4 in 6, whereas the odds for the duelist are 2 in 6. (00:15:45 - 00:16:09)

Casual Person

For the Sake of Syrus - S1-E8

Character mistake: When Chumley falls off the tree and his cards fall on the ground, Jaden picks up one and comments "There's like, a zillion koala cards down here" when he looks at it. However, all the other cards on the ground are face down and he only looked at one card, so there would be no way for him to know if there were a lot of koala cards. (00:03:58)

Casual Person

Nature of the Draw - S1-E17

Character mistake: Jaden tells Damon that because of Elemental Hero Flame Wingman's ability, he will lose life points equal to half his destroyed monster's attack points. This is incorrect, as Damon will actually lose life points equal to the full attack points of the destroyed monster. He has used this card multiple times throughout the series, so this isn't a mistake he should have made. (00:18:25)

Casual Person

Grave Risk: Part 1 - S1-E27

Character mistake: The episode opens late at night when Syrus overhears Banner on a call where he discusses burying Jaden alive. The next morning is a classroom scene where Banner says the field trip will take place on Saturday at 7am, and the next scene shows Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Alexis outside the school at 7am waiting for Banner to arrive. In this scene, Syrus tells Jaden he heard Banner talk about burying Jaden alive the previous night, but by this point, at least two nights must have passed. (00:03:48)

Casual Person

Sibling Rivalry - S1-E35

Character mistake: When Slade is giving Chazz the conditions for the duel, he says "You're only allowed to duel with monsters with less than 500 life points." What he meant to say was attack points, as life points are the amount the duelist has during the duel, whereas attack points are the points that the duel monsters have. (00:04:18)

Casual Person

A Hassleberry Hounding - S2-E3

Character mistake: At the start of the episode, Jaden says that he and Syrus have to carry 14 replacement duel disks across campus, which is later revealed to be because Hassleberry beat each of the 14 students in a duel and then stole their duel disk. But during the duel later on, Hassleberry says "I'm beating you the same way I beat my last 12 rivals", instead of the 14 students that were stated earlier. (00:00:09 - 00:15:35)

Casual Person

J-Dawg and T-Bone - S2-E25

Character mistake: When Jaden uses the spell card Gift of the Martyr to increase Neos' attack points to 5400, T-Bone shouts "That ain't right. Fifty-four grand?", but fifty-four grand would be 54,000 and not 5400. (00:17:52)

Casual Person

Heart of Ice: Part 2 - S2-E42

Character mistake: After Alexis has White Knight Queen attack Sparkman and then has Snow Fairy attack Card Trooper, Jaden tells her that Sparkman's ability activates, which allows him to draw one card. This is not correct; it is actually Card Trooper that has the ability to let him draw one card, not Sparkman. (00:06:44)

Casual Person

Heart of Ice: Part 2 - S2-E42

Character mistake: When Jaden has his Elemental Hero Neos and Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab fuse together, he says "Roll call, Flame Scarab, Neos, contact fusion." When he says this, he incorrectly refers to Flare Scarab as Flame Scarab. (00:17:20)

Casual Person

Tough Love - S2-E43

Character mistake: When Zane activates the trap card Power Wall, he explains that for every card he sends to the graveyard, Syrus loses 100 points. What he meant to say, was that for every card he sends to the graveyard, the amount of life points he loses during the attack is reduced by 100 points. Since neither Zane nor Syrus lost life points during this, what he said was obviously incorrect. (00:14:47)

Casual Person

Tough Love - S2-E43

Character mistake: When Zane is explaining Cyberdark Dragon's ability to Syrus, he says that for every card in his graveyard, his dragon gains 100 points, before saying "Since there are 38 dragons in my graveyard, Cyberdark Dragon gains 3800 points." However, his deck consists of monster cards, spell cards and trap cards, his statement that there are 38 dragons in his graveyard is incorrect. (00:18:00)

Casual Person

Trapper Keeper: Part 1 - S3-E11

Character mistake: When Jesse is explaining Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat's ability to Trapper, he says "When I give up half my life points, you'll see what I mean." Amethyst Cat's ability allows it to attack an opponent directly by giving up half of its attack points, so Jesse was incorrect in saying he would be giving up half his life points. (00:10:30)

Casual Person

A New World Order - S3-E28

Character mistake: On Jaden's first turn, he considers fusing his Bubbleman and Clayman to summon Elemental Hero Mudballman because "he'd have enough attack points to take down the Sky Scouts' Simorgh." This is not true, as Mudballman has 1900 attack points and Simorgh has 2700 attack points. (00:10:57)

Casual Person

Conquering the Past: Part 1 - S3-E42

Character mistake: Just after Zane destroys Jaden's Spark Blaster, he says "You were too afraid to fuse your Sparkman with your Spark Blaster last turn", however he used the wrong wording. "Fuse" means to combine two monster cards into one Fusion monster. He meant to say "equip" as equip spell cards like Spark Blaster are equipped to monster cards like Sparkman. (00:06:52)

Casual Person

Tag Team Trial: Part 2 - S1-E11

Other mistake: Syrus summons to the field Drillroid and has it attack the Gate Guardian in defense mode, but is blocked by Defence Wall because of its effect, and Defense Wall is destroyed. Because of this, Jaden and Syrus lose 500 Life Points. While it does seem logical that their life points would go down because Drillroid has 1600 attack points and Defense Wall has 2100 defense points, they should not lose life points in the first place. This is mainly due to the fact that Drillroid's effect causes a defense position monster to be destroyed instantly, without losing life points. If Drillroid was capable of destroying Defence Wall, then their life points should have remained at 1700. (00:08:00)

Tag Team Trial: Part 1 - S1-E10

Chancellor Shepherd: Jaden, I'll leave it up to you, son.
Jaden Yuki: Ah, these guys couldn't even beat male pattern baldness so there's no way they're going to be able to beat us.
