Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Plot hole: Much of the lines at the beginning of the episode (Roberto's identity, Nankatsu being an 'easier' school compared to the private institute) repeat what was already established in the previous episode, as if it never happened.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Sanae tells to the team "Ishizaki is right!" and gives them a pep talk, she's practically a hobbit next to the others, and a couple players are on odd mounds as if it were a baseball field. On a soccer pitch you just can't have that sort of uneven ground. (00:19:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Factual error: Genzo challenges Tsubasa to a rematch, this time in a regular "90 minutes match." They are elementary school students, their matches last only about 40 minutes.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: An indignant Genzo pushes Tsubasa away from him as he tries to aid him. Tsubasa lands with his back into the goal net, but Genzo pushed him away from the goal. (00:09:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the two aces compete for Roberto's centering kick, Tsubasa is on the outside, in front of Genzo, going parallel to him yet as they land he's on the opposite side. (00:09:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa hits his header, he is far from the box; Genzo punches away with 4 of his teammates in front of him, but then in the aerial shot there are 13 (!) teammates on the field, about 6 close by, plus... Tsubasa himself. (00:07:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Other mistake: Tsubasa is talking to 'his friend' the football as he does keepie-uppies. He is normally animated pretty decently during that activity, except in the shot when he is telling his friend about Genzo's skills; he is keeping his torso completely immobile, moving just his thighs, which is just physically impossible. A few shots later his torso is still again but at least his thighs are not in frame (the ball is though, what could he possibly be using to juggle it up?). (00:06:10)

Stormtroopers (1976)

Continuity mistake: The protagonist (Renato Pozzetto) is having an argument with his superior while smoking a joint. He gets back in line after threatening him with a stone; the joint is in his mouth. Cut, and he is holding the joint in hand and putting it only then in his mouth. (00:19:00)

My Beloved Enemy (2018)

Other mistake: The protagonist finds out that his wife is cheating on him, and decides to try to dial the killer. We see his phone number, it's 328 241... Later on, after visiting his brother's parish, he tries to contact his 'frenemy' again but the number now is 386 909.etc. He can't have changed number in that short while (and the protagonist wouldn't know anyway). (01:03:10 - 01:10:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Goliath's two new friends grab him by the arms and carry him between the horses to escape from the guards; as the bad guys give chase, there's no consistency between shots regarding the shadows; they gallop through shadow areas that are entirely exposed to the sun when the baddies are coming, and vice versa. (00:08:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Genzo kicks the ball towards Tsubasa, the close-up shows the leg of someone wearing just thick white socks, while Genzo is wearing red pants that don't ride up that high. (00:21:40)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Other mistake: Tsubasa 'powers' in this episode get nerfed in the rest of the series; he is in elementary school and yet his shot flies literally miles off to land with precision in the arms of Wakabayashi. If he had this power and precision during a match, he'd be superhuman.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The New Soccer Star - S1-E1

Plot hole: Once Wakabayashi wins his challenge against the Nankatsu senior students, he instantly is back at his huge mansion to collect Tsubasa's message. Tsubasa was standing just a few meters away watching The Challenge as it happened, and Genzo had no reason to run away (if anything he was supposed to supervise the team during training), nor he's shown doing that. He's just gone, no explanation. (00:15:20)
