Genres: Animated, Drama, Family, Sport

Hard Confrontations - S2-E3

Factual error: Ken Wakashimazu, the reserve keeper, just announces a substitution, himself, from the crowd (not even the bench!), his presence unbeknownst to the coach and everyone else in attendance. For those not familiar with the rules of soccer (or ANY sport!), that's really not how it works in an official match. (00:13:30)

Hard Confrontations - S2-E3

Factual error: Blatant rule breaking during the penalty kick; Matsuyama taps the ball bringing it forward instead of just kicking it; running forward with the ball from the penalty spot is not allowed. (00:15:30)

Sammo

A Wounded Prince - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: In the previous episode recap, as the announcer asks "Will he be able to play tomorrow?", Jun Misugi sports a shirt with the Musashi logo all across the chest instead of its proper size. (00:03:10)

Sammo

A Wounded Prince - S2-E4

Other mistake: Tsubasa and the others turn around to look at Misugi approached by his rabid fans. Amongst the other players, a kid sports the number 1 that belongs to the keeper. (00:08:20)

Sammo

A Wounded Prince - S2-E4

Other mistake: Sanada passes the ball to Honma as per Misugi's instructions. Honma gets it and runs...in the opposite direction, towards his own goal! Somehow it is the right direction, though. (00:13:20)

Sammo

A Wounded Prince - S2-E4

Character mistake: The characters keep referring to this match as Jun Misugi's last, hoping he'll win it, but Meiwa is an opponent just as fierce as Nankatsu, so even if Misugi beat Tsubasa, he would need to play still one more match. It's Misugi's last only if he loses (as in fact happens, but they can't know that).

Sammo

A Brilliant Fight - S2-E5

Other mistake: After the lengthy recap of the previous episode, Misugi is facing Teppei Kisugi, but the football shrinks during their struggle, being at one point smaller than the 10-year old's foot. (00:03:20)

Sammo

A Brilliant Fight - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When Tsubasa runs with the ball at the kickoff after Misugi scored, Misaki by him runs with a weird animation that is missing frames. Tsubasa is also quite literally flatfooted. (00:15:05)

Sammo

A Brilliant Fight - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Misugi manages to block the "Golden Combi" intercepting Misaki's pass to Tsubasa. His cheerleaders voice their appreciation; next to a girl that wears a "JUN" T-shirt, there's her friend with a striped red and white tee. Too bad that it's entirely different stripes than before, from being of the same size to very thick whites and thin reds. (00:18:25)

Sammo

Tsubasa in the Trap - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Stripes and bangs of one of Misugi's female supporters in the crowd change again like they did in the previous episode, this time to a third different pattern. In this very same episode they are shown in recycled shots from their first appearance (thin red stripes on the top), too. (00:04:45 - 00:07:40)

Sammo

Tsubasa in the Trap - S2-E6

Other mistake: All of a sudden and with no explanation, in this episode the coach and the cheerleading team have things like whistles and megaphones that they never brought to matches before and didn't have when the match was underway in the previous episodes. (00:05:55)

Sammo

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Trivia: When Sanae starts waving the flag she made for Tsubasa, in the background you can see a couple of grossly disproportional characters most likely drawn as a joke by some animator, and even the Road Runner. (00:14:55)
