Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 3 - S2-E3

Plot hole: Kindaichi bases his solution on a fact (there was a certain object on the elevator together with the victim) he couldn't know about, since Li did not mention it (and if he did, he would have been on the right track to solve the mystery himself).

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Lee's men are chasing Kindaichi that just escaped from the air conditioning vent. In one shot (the one with the camera behind the two guys) the policeman wearing the white shirt has the earpiece on the wrong ear - left ear, while he wears it on the right ear in the rest of the scene. (00:09:00)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Inside the hotel room, the three guys from 18 years prior receive a macabre gift. The one in the grey suit opens the box, and the knuckles of the severed hand are pointed towards him. In the last shot of the table though, the hand is turned the other way around. (00:08:15)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1

Other mistake: During this episode and the next 4 of this story arc, the signs of the stores in Hong Kong are recycled from the first episode of the series. Hong Kong is a pretty big city, the odds of Kindaichi (who is not staying at the same hotel nor dealing with anything related to the first case) just happening to be in the same nondescript streets with the "Ocean Guest House" are astronomically low.

The Game Mansion Murder Case File 3 - S1-E25

Plot hole: An additional plot twist of the episode has the Puppeteer from the Hell as the mastermind behind the operation. What does not make sense is the fact that he regularly visited the killer in prison showing his face fully in the open. To make it even more ludicrous, the next episode shows that he needs to constantly wear a mask because he's wanted by the police, and he is on the run. Previous episodes showed already without a doubt that the police had all his data and pictures.

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19

Other mistake: The police is searching the crime scene of the supposed suicide. The police was alerted because the suicide happened by drowning, leaving the bathtub running till it overflew alerting the other people in the building. The body of the victim is still completely immersed in the bathtub (nobody drained it), and Kindaichi and Aoi walk on a dry floor while there should be a massive flooding.
