Black Butterfly Murder Case: File 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When the three daughters of the host do their little choreography, you see the painting of the butterfly in the close-ups of the eldest two. In the wide shot, they are so close to the wall and the painting is set so high on it that it should have been impossible to see the wings. (00:11:20)
Black Butterfly Murder Case: File 1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Itsuki chokes on his beer reacting to a page almost entirely filled with text. Kindaichi then looks at a page with a photo spread with pictures taking 2/3 of the page. (00:00:02 - 00:01:50)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: When the trio of detectives discovers Hiruta's body, the banknote under the left arm is in a different position between shots. In wide angle there is a sizeable distance between it and the side of the table, they are ultra-close in close-up. (00:13:50)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: When Akechi looks out of the window, it's dark and snowy. Simultaneously, various characters are arguing and the windows behind them show good natural light. (00:15:50)
Magical Express Murder Case: File 4 - S2-E13
Plot hole: The ending twist is nonsensical; the disciples have been using the tricks in Reiko Chikamiya's notebook for over 5 years, so the 'trap' inside the notebook could, and should, have happened at any point during that time. There's nothing in the killer's actions that makes that particular magic trick happen, nor he swapped or manipulated it.
Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When Yumi is smoking in her room, the door of her room opens. It's a left-hand swing. Less than a minute later, Kenmochi breaks into the room and forces the door open, which now is right-hand. (00:16:55 - 00:17:35)
Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When the heroes approach the three magicians that are tending to their luggage. Satomi in the wide shot is on her knees and two boxes are in front of her. Next angle, and there's a pile of 4. (00:16:15)
Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12
Revealing mistake: Akechi learns about Reiko Chikamiya's death from the newspaper. It's not a very respectful newspaper, since at first glance you can see in the body of the article a big "DUH." A column away, you can also read "he's the best running back in the X-league", which certainly the middle aged woman wasn't. (00:15:40)
Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When Chikamiya is speaking with Akechi in the flashback and shows him the marionette, her right hand is on top of the left hand, but in the reverse shot her right arm shows the right hand pointed much lower than the left. (00:14:45)
Magical Express Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E10
Revealing mistake: The train has been evacuated and the manager is looking for the troupe leader. There is something wrong in the train behind him though, because the main body of the train is floating over the wheelset. (00:14:00)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: During the denouement, Kindaichi places the green box on top of the blank sheet he used for the demonstration, and you can see it on the table. In the rest of the scene, the box and the scissors are there, but the sheet quietly disappears from the table, coming back only when the first angle is reused. (00:05:45 - 00:06:35)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi reveals to the audience that the suicide wasn't a suicide, Reika's hand is on top of the armrest in one shot, and gripping the edge of it in the next. (00:04:15)

Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi threatens Kenmochi with his big scissors, they are closed in one shot, open in the close-up. (00:02:40)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E15
Audio problem: Hibiki is quickly browsing through screenshots. Kindaichi yells 'Stop' when he spots a detail. Miyuki then asks about it, but her mouth is animated opening and closing a second before the voice first comes out. (00:07:35)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: The quantity of snow on Ayatsuji's hair increases instead of thinning out when she crawls the house and is in the corridor. (00:21:00)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: When they're watching the actress getting punk'd, Reika is suddenly laughing with the hand in front of her mouth when before the cut she wasn't. (00:10:55)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi collapses coughing blood. Reika is on him trying to help, and looks behind her asking if the coffee was poisoned. The director is holding the plate with his left hand, but in close-up his hand is free. (00:04:45)
Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E14
Other mistake: Throughout the whole three-parter, whenever the characters are in the snow, it comes down at really sharp (45°) angle with a whistling wind, but their hair and clothes are entirely unperturbed.
Magical Express Murder Case: File 4 - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: During the denouement, they show one of the bags being carried away from the train; the size is completely incoherent with the one shown earlier. (00:07:25)
