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.

Murderous Intent of Below Freezing 15 Degrees - S2-E9

Plot hole: Kindaichi's explanation of the trick does not make sense; he says the culprit put the towels outside to freeze in the bin, but if they were frozen solid they would have been impossible to reshape easily and quickly, and if they were already in the shape they wanted, that would have been just too big for the bin to contain.

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Audio problem: When Kindaichi understands the trick and runs away from the murder room, Miyuki as usual exclaims "Hajime-chan!" but with a curious flub in animation, her tongue moves but not her lips. Try to say "Hajime-chan" keeping your mouth open all the time, it's fun. (00:18:45)
