Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Other mistake: Roberto meets Genzo at the shrine in the early morning, and Genzo is pumped up and ready to go to the match. In another scene, Roberto is at the stadium hanging out on his own, but Genzo still hasn't got to the stadium and will arrive only much later when the match is about to begin.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Factual error: If we had to go by the pre-kickoff aerial shot, Shuutetsu is playing with a 2-3-5, which is definitely not a normal soccer formation - and we never see during the actual play anything close to the team having 5 forwards. Also, the linesmen are infield instead of behind the sidelines. (00:17:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Trivia: When Sanae starts waving the flag she made for Tsubasa, in the background you can see a couple of grossly disproportional characters most likely drawn as a joke by some animator, and even the Road Runner. (00:14:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Other mistake: After the scene with Roberto and Tsubasa's mom, look behind the lanes of the 200 meters (above the fifth); one of the athletes in the background is sitting in midair. (00:07:20)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Other mistake: Eleven Nankatsu players run past the 4 Shuutetsu guys who are looking for Genzo. They all wear the team jersey, the keeper is missing. They have just players total, 10 plus the keeper, the extra player was never supposed to be there. (00:04:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The Shuutetsu players are in front of the gates of the Wakabayashi to get to the match with him. In the wide shot the leftmost ones are in a sunlit area (the rays come through the bars of the gate), but in the closer view they are in the shade. (00:02:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: While Taro is getting to Shizuoka, we see the Nankatsu public schoolers meeting again. Ryo greets Tsubasa and next to him there's a team member with shorts. When everyone follows Tsubasa, next to Ryo the guy is wearing long pants. (00:14:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When all the other players interrupt Tsubasa's training to beg to have extra training as well, Roberto's position on the field changes and so does the number of balls by him (then there's a last shot when he's next to the goal, but every player is in position so a cut in time can be assumed).

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: Shuutetsu's sweeper Shingo Takasugi is the victim of an obvious coloring error during his introduction, and as he kicks the ball from the defense he is shown wearing the purple and blue uniform of the goalkeeper instead of the teal and red of the team jersey. Some international dubs even try to cover the mistake making up a line about him being a substitute keeper in absence of Genzo (but his jersey changes intermittently). (00:08:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: Look at the bleachers when Ryo tells to the team that they need to examine Shuutetsu's playing; there are 11 players wearing the jersey, plus Tsubasa who is off to watch it running by the railing. Too many for the size of their team. (00:07:25)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: When Roberto tells everyone that they should try to treat the ball like their friend (except when they kick it, arguably) one of the kids who react with puzzlement at this unusual statement is Tsubasa, but he is the one character who already does that ordinarily as established in previous episodes. (00:02:40)

Revealing mistake: The alien is starting to mess with all sorts of mechanical and electronic devices. One of the first ill-effects shown is a large industrial cable reel that is dangling in midair when the mechanical arm lifting it is paralyzed. Problem is, you can see the operator has his hand on the controls and is stopping the crane himself using the lever, nothing alien about that. (00:14:50)

Belleville Cop (2018)

Continuity mistake: After Omar Sy beats up the masked pickpocketer in the Chinese supermarket, he waves the crowd to move on. The stick he has switches hands between shots. (00:04:25)

Lupin (2021)

Chapter 3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Flashback in the toilet; Claire is seeing to Assane's wounds. He tries to kiss her. Her hand under his chin is in a totally different position between shots. (00:24:10)

A Wizard's Tale (2018)

Continuity mistake: Princess Dawn is in her chambers and her servants are preparing her for the coronation. When her book-headed valet tells her "You have come of age", he is suddenly holding the tome with both hands, while he had just one on it before the cut. (00:19:30)
