The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 5 - S1-E14

Stupidity: When the Puppeteer is shot, like any good villain he's actually wearing a bulletproof vest. However, a bulletproof vest is not a magical forcefield that neutralizes kinetic energy; this guy barely flinches when hit. Neither are flames; his fire trick raises a literal firewall, but firewalls are not literal walls, they do not stop bullets. The policemen could easily keep shooting through it (he throws a glove at Kindaichi through it), but they just do not, for no reason.

Continuity mistake: When the mastermind does his dramatic escape, the policemen are in front of him (Kenmochi literally at arm's length), but there's nobody in his way when he throws his projectile. (00:18:15)

Other mistake: Kindaichi puts on the table the map of the two buildings. The one to the right has a cutout part, but still shows as a full sheet. (00:19:00)

Stupidity: When Kirisawa's body is discovered, it means that he was completely overlooked during the headcount and at every point during the day. With students disappearing left and right, that's a pretty big oversight - that somehow the killer anticipated, because his body discovered last was crucial for the plan.

Continuity mistake: The burn marks on Adechi's tracksuit change throughout the episode. For instance, look at his left forearm; sometimes it has a dark spot, some other times it does not. (00:16:00 - 00:17:15)

Plot hole: Kujiragi's textbook is missing. It's a plot point and it's something the culprit did to plant an evidence using a page from it. However, when the case is solved, this point is glossed over; only a page from the book was needed, which the culprit could have ripped away at any moment without stealing the book, and more importantly, when Kindaichi finds the book, there was no window of opportunity for the killer to put it back; Kindaichi and Kujiragi were right there in the corridor the whole time. The live version adaptation fixes this hole because the character finds his book only the day after, in class.

Continuity mistake: Kujiragi grabs Kindaichi asking about his textbook; Kindaichi raises both hands almost putting them in the aggressor's face, but at the cut you get an unobstructed view of him; Kindaichi's arms are lowered. (00:05:00)

Character mistake: When we first see Kindaich in English glass, the blackboard behind the masked teacher shows the word "grammar" misspelled into "grammer." (00:12:10)

Continuity mistake: In the opening shot of the 'briefing' about the camp's structure, Kendaichi's backpack is twice the size it turns out to be in the rest of the scene. (00:03:20)

Stupidity: The whole story of the 5 episode arc requires unhealthy amounts of suspension of disbelief; the killer directly challenged the police and announced where and when the murders will take place; at a 3 days prep school camp. Despite that, one of the teachers, a new one at the job even, is allowed to attend the camp wearing a ski mask, supposedly to hide hideous burns, and the police just lets him in without checking. And yes, he's the criminal, not even a red herring. By comparison, in the live version adaptation they check him, and he's wearing prosthetic scars.

Continuity mistake: Once the Puppeteer disappears, you can't see Miyuki's glass and the box on the table any more either (but she has another table behind her when you see her hand in the foreground). (00:21:30)

Stupidity: Paragon of cleverness inspector Adechi somehow did not check for any trap in the mysterious box he received, and brought it to a crowded cafe just, so he could show it to the kids. For the explosive trick to work, the puppeteer needed also to know exactly where Kenmochi would be seated and which seats would later Kindaichi and Miyuki pick, since the box had to be at such an angle that the puppet would be propelled to the exact spot on the roof that acted as podium.

Continuity mistake: After the Puppeteer's speech, the box emits sparks. Adechi shields his face with his sleeve fully in close-up, while in the wider angle he is mouth agape with the arm positioned at a lower angle. (00:20:50)

Continuity mistake: When Adechi sits down with the others, the handle of Kenmochi's cup of coffee faces Adechi in the first shot, Kenmochi in the next. (00:19:15)

Revealing mistake: When Kindaichi and Miyuki speak with Kenmochi, inspector Adechi is lurking in the background reading what turns out to be a French newspaper. At the beginning you can see its "Le Shinbun" logo on both the front and back cover, but later in the scene it has just one cover and the back page is just normal text (incidentally, the filler text is garbage; the headline says "Je vais essayer de répondre l'incident" and even breaks the words incorrectly, but you have to freeze-frame to spot this last detail). (00:17:10)

Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi reveals that someone in the room probably is the responsible, Mizogishi asks in a shot from behind if anyone knows anything. In that shot, the two adjoined desks he was using become a single supersized table. (00:16:00)

Other mistake: The Eternal's "Domo" is in Iraq. Phastus gives a radar device to Makkari and tells her to go find the Emergence point. We see her sprint away and pass by the Cristo Redentor statue in Rio, and then end up in a spot in the Indian Ocean (she is holding the global map and we see the landmark) that is practically in the Arabian Sea. So the radar brought her literally around the world to get almost to the starting point. Later in the movie Ikaris flies up in space from that spot, and is staring down at South America.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the fight in the Amazon, Sprite runs to Karun to protect him like Kingo asked. In the wide shot there's nobody on the porch behind him, but when she calls him 'young man' suddenly there are a couple of people there. (01:13:00)

Continuity mistake: When the Statue of Liberty tells Spidey "Nice outfit!" the people in the background are in different positions at the cut. (00:21:20)

Other mistake: When you defeat BRIDER, you can acquire one of his special moves, which is called, of course, Double BLIDER Kick.
