The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Other mistake: During the science lesson about DNA, the teacher shows the double helix structure. One wonders how could he draw it using 3 colors since he has just white chalk at his disposal. The figure disappears a moment later when he starts giving out the test papers. (00:06:30)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Stupidity: Akechi finds the pieces of chalk but does not investigate the open locker, where the victim left what turns out to be literally the name of the murderer. The plan of the all-knowing Puppeteer works only because the smart investigator does not perform even the most basic crime scene.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When the teacher explains the timetable of the lessons, everyone has a booklet in front of them. Kindaichi despairs as the other people are walking away; his own booklet is missing now. (00:11:30)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: Miyuki's hairstyle is different in the first part of the episode (during the debriefing) and then gets back to what it was in the previous episode, with the two hair clips on the side instead of one at the back. On day 2, it switches again to one clip at the back.

31st Dec 2021
Character mistake: When you catch Andy recovering a bottle of elixir in the upper right corner of the hall, a conversation ensues. He then says "Oh, so it's not OK if I shrae it with your Mom", with a misspelling of "share."
31st Dec 2021
Character mistake: When the protagonist goes fourth base with the teacher and the nun at the same time, he says "Oh God, Mrs. Bancroft! Your squeezing extra hard" with a basic grammar mistake.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi just discovered the murdered student. In the close-up of his hands clutching the crumpled paper, the spiked booklet and his closed fist are across two floor tiles. In the other shots, both were on the single last row of large tiles before the wall. (00:07:55)

Continuity mistake: The blonde student leads Miyuki inside the dilapidated school and says hi to the other student that is checking out a billboard. In the close-up you can see that she's standing on the left side of the billboard. In the wider angle she is standing on the right side. (00:05:35)

28th Dec 2021
Continuity mistake: When King mentions the two brothers' "destiny", his big feline is at Young Diabolik's side, facing King and the others. Aerial shot, and the panther is at King's side facing Diabolik. (00:05:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 4 - S1-E9
Plot hole: The ending is funny, but it does not make sense, since as it was mentioned in the first episode, there was literally 1 ton of metal to remove, and it was in the shape of a door. Not only it would have needed 32 trips (as the nerd girl says in the first episode) from the secluded house to a large boat they somehow needed to have standing by and was undetected when the island was searched earlier, but they also needed to dismantle the door, since that's what the gold was turned into.

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi shatters the vase, its remnants and the flowers are positioned on a different spot of the floor between shots. (00:19:20)
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Stupidity: The plot throws in a drawing from a XVII century tome asserting that the building was designed with alchemic purposes by the scientist who built it. Wonderful, but the concept is not carried out coherently; the elements (as in, elements from the periodic table, which does not fit the era already, but let's say it was an original take) are placed with no relation to the basic scheme. For instance, Tin is in the "Moon" position, and its murder was executed with Fire, and some intersections have one room, some two, with no logic.

Revealing mistake: In the intro of the game, look at the newspaper on the desk in the shot when you can only see the arms of the protagonist. The headline to the left of the picture is handwritten.
