Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Provocation - S1-E11

Other mistake: Talentless footballer Ryo Ishizaki juggles the ball with his foot when he's chilling riverside in a way that not even the most skilled pro in the world could pull off, not unless the ball was tied to an elastic string. He's bouncing it in a diagonal pattern just moving his ankle and somehow the ball pushed forward gets back to his foot each time. (00:06:05)

The Provocation - S1-E11

Other mistake: Misaki reminds Ishizaki about the next phase of the selection for the team. When he replies, someone drew eyelids on them, but the same color of the white of his eye. (00:02:30)

The King of Fighters '94

Other mistake: In Team England's ending, Mai says "Look! This is the doom of a male.chauvinist" (with a dot in the middle that is out of place) and the defeated Rugal replies "Ha ha ha ha! You still want money." Something must be lost in translation there...and it is. If you look at the Japanese ending, there's a line from Yuri that goes "さ あ 優 勝 賞 金 を 渡 し て よ!" "Give us the prize money!"

Other mistake: In the ending of the Art of Fighting team, Rugal can't say the word "practitioner", misspelling it "practioner."

The King of Fighters '94

Other mistake: Choi Bounge's win quote against the female team is "So exciting to chop up beautys", misspelling of "beauties."

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Other mistake: Urabe mentions that Nankatsu lost to Shutetsu 30 to 0 (which seems rather uncanny for a 40 minutes match), but the score mentioned in the first episode was 10 to 0. The more extravagant result ends up being the canon one.

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Other mistake: The kid who wants the soccer team to stop training is told off by Sanae, who points at the good efforts on the pitch. The animation of the team in training has noticeable errors, with a player that suddenly appears coming out of nowhere from behind the rightmost one, who is standing immobile in front of the goal and after a second disappears abruptly.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Other mistake: Spurred by his new deskmate, Tsubasa juggles the ball and sends it with a header right onto the empty seat. Pretty sure it's forbidden in any school to just come to class with a football, but besides that; look at how the football is in view. How tall would the chair have to be for that to happen? Whoever sits on it has no room to put their legs under the desk for sure. (00:10:35)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Sanae tells to the team "Ishizaki is right!" and gives them a pep talk, she's practically a hobbit next to the others, and a couple players are on odd mounds as if it were a baseball field. On a soccer pitch you just can't have that sort of uneven ground. (00:19:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Other mistake: Tsubasa is talking to 'his friend' the football as he does keepie-uppies. He is normally animated pretty decently during that activity, except in the shot when he is telling his friend about Genzo's skills; he is keeping his torso completely immobile, moving just his thighs, which is just physically impossible. A few shots later his torso is still again but at least his thighs are not in frame (the ball is though, what could he possibly be using to juggle it up?). (00:06:10)

My Beloved Enemy (2018)

Other mistake: The protagonist finds out that his wife is cheating on him, and decides to try to dial the killer. We see his phone number, it's 328 241... Later on, after visiting his brother's parish, he tries to contact his 'frenemy' again but the number now is 386 909.etc. He can't have changed number in that short while (and the protagonist wouldn't know anyway). (01:03:10 - 01:10:55)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: Tsubasa 'powers' in this episode get nerfed in the rest of the series; he is in elementary school and yet his shot flies literally miles off to land with precision in the arms of Wakabayashi. If he had this power and precision during a match, he'd be superhuman.
