Epiphany - S2-E12

Character mistake: Rodney says that one hour in real time would give them months inside the field. This is incorrect because if the ratio of time were 1:250 as stated before, one hour would only convert to 250 hours, which is 10 days and 10 hours.

Tough Love - S2-E43

Character mistake: When Zane activates the trap card Power Wall, he explains that for every card he sends to the graveyard, Syrus loses 100 points. What he meant to say, was that for every card he sends to the graveyard, the amount of life points he loses during the attack is reduced by 100 points. Since neither Zane nor Syrus lost life points during this, what he said was obviously incorrect. (00:14:47)

There Goes Ryoma - S1-E1

Character mistake: Professor Saotome checks the status of the Getter Robot when his son falls unconscious. The HUD output is written in awkward EngRish, from the first line of the status report, called; "Monitor the state of affairs", to smaller details like the article randomly used for certain lines ("a control device, a correspondent"). The biggest flub though is that the name of his son is "Tatsuhito", in proper romanization, but here appears as "Tatuto." (00:05:20)
