Saint Seiya (1986)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Character mistake: Not to dispute physics in an anime about people drawing arcane cosmic powers from constellations, but when Marin explains to Seiya what happens when you shatter a rock into smaller pebbles, she says that you "destroy its atoms." That's not how physics works and luckily for her, Seiya and everyone else in Greece at the time, she did not create a nuclear fission in the palm of her hand just to prove her point.

Character mistake: During their bickering about the coffee, the idea is that the officers just drank some coffee made from beans coming from excrements of rhesus macaque. That's how the civet coffee is made; macaques merely chew and spit the beans, they do not 'process' them (that'd be the kopi luwak that he references immediately after). (00:27:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Character mistake: Steve gets on Rick's truck and tells him "Just follow that car." However, when we see what happens through TC's chopper, the van is in the lead, and the car is the one following - probably it was footage shot with the intention to reveal Magnum's plan earlier. (00:42:00 - 00:42:40)

Fatal Fury 2

Character mistake: In the "After the Mexico Match" cutscene, Espadas tells to Tsubasa in the hospital "You knew you won the moment you DEFELECTED the ball with your face", in an obvious typo.

Character mistake: During the "World Youth Begins (Part I) " cutscene Shingo Aoi is taunted by Italian star player Salvatore Gentile. Gentile says; "Giapponese are so bad at football." This mish-mash of English and Italian is nonsensical, it should be, if anything "Giapponesi are so bad", plural, not singular.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Character mistake: When TC is calling help on the radio, he is wearing the team ring upside down (with the double arms of the cross of Lorraine pointing away from him). (00:42:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Character mistake: TC calls for help on the radio transmitting his distress signal with "This is Bravo Fower One Six", and then he shoots the rocket with his chopper's identification N58243 in plain sight (none of it matching B416). (00:42:20)

The King of Fighters '94 mistake picture

Character mistake: Rugal's comment on the American Sports Team when you reach the mid-game point is that they are diamonds in the rough, and that he looks "FOWARD" to see how far they can get.

China Doll - S1-E3

Character mistake: As they are driving to uncle Han, Mai Ling says that 11 other members of her family might have died for the urn. Magnum speculates "Cousin Ho." But he called him "uncle Ho" in his "should have stayed in bed" voiceover at the beginning of the episode. (00:09:55 - 00:28:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

China Doll - S1-E3

Character mistake: Rick is supposed to be at least competent in first aid, but there's a short (and awkwardly edited in) clip with TC trying to get up and groaning in pain where the taping around his torso is so loose he shouldn't have bothered at all. (00:25:10)

Sammo

Character mistake: In the KoF98 saga, before meeting the Orochi Female team, the protagonist says to Mature "If it's between the Orochis, then you should surrender against Male Orochi Team, then." The repetition of "then" is an obvious mistake, but the meaning of the sentence itself is also inscrutable.

Sammo

Character mistake: Both Geese and Andy are experts in martial arts and come from similar backgrounds (Geese and Andy's father trained under the same master), but Geese says in the cutscenes Andy is using "weird kung-fu", and Andy mentions in his win quote "Japanese Karate."

Sammo

Character mistake: Playing as Joe Higashi, one of the preliminary cutscenes with Geese has him say "I wonder if Joe is Hurricane upper cut Joe." "Uppercut" is one word, not two.

Sammo

Character mistake: Karman Cole's generic win quote says "I can't believe you pressured me so much...I was SWEATTING bullets."

The King of Fighters '94

The King of Fighters '94 mistake picture

Character mistake: In the mid-game cutscene with Rugal observing the progress of the team, if you pick the Fatal Fury team Rugal says "Hmmm. So they are the ones who toppled Geese and Klauser." The name of the villain of Fatal Fury 2 that Rugal is referencing is Wolfgang Krauser, with 2 Rs.

Bleach: Immortal Soul

Character mistake: In the fight against the monster in the park in chapter 1, Rukia says that you must be willing even "to sacrAfice your own life."

Sammo

Character mistake: Commenting Kim's team matchup in KoF97, Chris from the New Faces Team says "an ex-convict and a Taekwondo instructor? Sounds like a tough match." He should say "Two ex-convicts", since the team is made of 3 people, with one being Kim (the Taekwondo instructor) and the other two are the criminals Choi and Chang - it is probably a mistranslation.

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Character mistake: In the Cloth Cemetery event, Mu explains rather ambiguously that all Hell breaks loose and the "infection" happens because "Athena's occlusion has been loosened", while what he really means is "The Seal of Athena has been weakened."
