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)

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)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: The writing on her chest disappears from Miyuki's top when Kindaichi shuts the train compartment door, and is back in the rest of the scene save for the shot when he reopens it, which has the same angle. The writing ("PoPo") is sometimes practically at the neckline, other times a few inches below. (00:09:20)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: External shot of the "Station Hotel"; there's the sign with glowing letters, and then a smaller one above the front door. The two words are written on separate lines, but the establishing shot of the hotel at the end of the previous episode showed "Station Hotel" written on a single line. (00:03:10)
