Continuity mistake: After Jaden realises Blair is a girl, there is a shot of Zane's room from above where Blair starts to run away. In this shot, some of Zane's cards can be seen on the floor after they were dropped. A couple seconds later, when Zane looks at the floor, the cards are now in different positions. (00:04:47)

The King of the Copycats: Part 1 - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: When Jaden, Bastion and Chumley regroup after searching for the card thief, in the wide shot, Bastion is standing 45° perpendicular to Jaden. In the next shot, Bastion is suddenly 90° perpendicular to Jaden. (00:09:20)
11th Jan 2023
Continuity mistake: Whilst everyone is waiting for the sandwich thief to arrive, Jaden and Syrus are playing cards. After Jaden correctly guesses Syrus' card, Syrus says "Picking cards, drawing cards, amazing", and has his right hand ahead of his left hand. When the shot cuts, his left hand is suddenly ahead of his right hand. (00:03:07)

Tag Team Trial: Part 2 - S1-E11
Stupidity: After Jaden summons EH Tempest, he also activates the field spell Skyscraper. This means that Tempest gains 1000 attack points (going from 2800 to 3800) when it attacks Dark Guardian (whose attack points are 3800). Since Dark Guardian can't be destroyed by battle, Jaden sacrifices a card to keep Tempest on the field. What was Jaden expecting? He already knew about Dark Guardian's effect, and there would've been no life point damage, so this attack wouldn't have benefited him in any way.

Tag Team Trial: Part 2 - S1-E11
Stupidity: After Jaden summons Elemental Hero Sparkman to the field, he also activates the spell card Spark Blaster, which he equips to Sparkman so that it can change any monster on the field in attack mode to defence mode. He decides to switch Gate Guardian to defence mode, however, he could have also switched Defence Wall to attack mode as well. Then he would've been able to have Sparkman attack Defence Wall, and it would have been destroyed since it has 0 attack points.
11th Jan 2023
Character mistake: When Chumley falls off the tree and his cards fall on the ground, Jaden picks up one and comments "There's like, a zillion koala cards down here" when he looks at it. However, all the other cards on the ground are face down and he only looked at one card, so there would be no way for him to know if there were a lot of koala cards. (00:03:58)

Duel and Unusual Punishment - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: After Syrus' life points go down to 2600, Jaden places a card face down. The card is positioned directly behind Elemental Hero Avian. But a minute later, after a brief conversation between Chumley and Alexis, the face down card is now more to the left and is positioned in between Elemental Heroes Avian and Sparkman. (00:09:13 - 00:10:26)
11th Jan 2023
Duel and Unusual Punishment - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Chumley is standing on the cliff, Alexis approaches from behind. When he hears her, he turns his head around to face, while his body remains facing the edge of the cliff. In the next shot, he has suddenly turned around entirely to face Alexis. (00:05:45)
11th Jan 2023
Continuity mistake: Jaden activates the spell card Mirage of Nightmare, and then places two cards face down. Later in the scene, Jaden activates the trap card Mirror Force, so when that leaves the field, only one other card is face down on Jaden's side of the field (not counting Mirage of Nightmare). But a couple of seconds later, when the Shadow Duelist brings Terrorking Archfiend back to the field, Jaden has three face-down cards, even though he should only have one card face down and one card already activated. (00:02:12 - 00:03:36)
11th Jan 2023
Continuity mistake: When Jaden tells the Shadow Duelist to leave his friends out of this, he draws a card with his right hand. When he does this, his left hand is lowered, but when it cuts to a close-up of the cards in his hand, his left hand is suddenly raised to be level with his right hand. (00:14:00)
11th Jan 2023
Revealing mistake: After the Shadow Duelist summons Infernal Queen Archfiend, Jaden says, "An Archfiend monster?" and the shot cuts back to the Shadow Duelist saying with that card on the field, every monster with Archfiend in its name gain 1000 attack points. In this shot, take note of the cards he is holding in his hand. He only appears to be holding onto two of the cards, but every other card in his hand appears to be held perfectly fine despite him not holding onto them. (00:12:41)
11th Jan 2023
Revealing mistake: When the duel begins, the Shadow Duelist goes first. He has five cards in his left hand and draws a sixth card from his deck. He then places the sixth card next to the fifth card, and then picks up the fifth card in his hand, but the sixth card remains in the same position, without its position being affected by the fifth card being picked up. (00:12:32)
11th Jan 2023
Revealing mistake: When Jaden says he's started hearing voices again, it cuts to a close-up of a flashback showing Jaden holding the Winged Kuriboh card. The shot appears to be flipped as the LIGHT symbol on the card, as well as the illustration of the card is reversed, compared to every other time this card is shown. (00:03:20)
11th Jan 2023
Continuity mistake: Jaden picks up a card from a deck which is revealed to be a Level 1 monster. He then places it on the table, still face up, on top of two other cards. When the shot cuts, it is suddenly face down, and the two other cards have disappeared. Then over a minute later, in the close-up of Professor Banner picking a card up from the deck, one of the monsters has reappeared next to the Level 1 monster. (00:02:29 - 00:03:43)
11th Jan 2023
Revealing mistake: When Jaden says "I got a whole army of vicious army of monsters in my deck just waiting to get at you", a small animation glitch occurs in the bottom right corner of the frame. Just as he begins saying "waiting", he moves his left arm slightly, and part of the red colouring on his blazer disappears from shot, almost as if the animators forgot to colour it in. (00:15:27)
11th Jan 2023
Continuity mistake: After Jaden's life points have gone down to 1000, in the shot of Chazz saying, "Having some test anxiety", his arms are pointed down toward the ground. When the shot cuts to focus on Jaden, his arms are suddenly raised. (00:15:20)
11th Jan 2023
Revealing mistake: When Chazz summons X-Head Cannon and Z-Metal Tank to the field, he is shown standing completely still, without any body movement in sight. He was in the middle of summoning monsters, so he shouldn't have been standing still like that. (00:13:02)
11th Jan 2023
Continuity mistake: The duel starts with Jaden having five cards in his left hand, and then drawing one card from his deck with his right hand. The card is revealed to be Winged Kuriboh. Jaden never moves any of the cards in his hands around, but then he summons Elemental Hero Clayman, which he is shown holding in his right hand, even though Winged Kuriboh was just shown in his right hand. (00:09:58)
11th Jan 2023
Revealing mistake: Right before Jaden and Chazz start the duel, in the shot of Crowler saying "Indeed, and in front of the whole school too", there are two Slifer Red students who appear to be standing completely still and motionless. (00:09:43)
11th Jan 2023
Continuity mistake: When Jaden draws the Fusion Gate card, in the close-up shot of the card, it is facing toward him. In the next shot, the card is facing away from him and is also held differently (so that Jaden can place it on the duel disk). (00:14:00)
