Saint Seiya (1986)

Taose! Ankoku Phoenix gundan - S1-E8

Other mistake: The Sagittar cloth fits Phoenix's body and flies to him by its own volition and power (as opposed as the manga, where they have to put the magic Cloths on like any normal armor), but with a simple flying kick Pegasus hits Ikki and strips him of the whole shabang - behaving unlike every other Cloth.

Saint Seiya (1986)

Taose! Ankoku Phoenix gundan - S1-E8

Plot hole: Andromeda is wearing his full armor (he's the only one doing that) at the end of the episode. The armor includes the chain that is used three times just in this episode alone to detect the bad guys, and that does it without need for explicit orders to do so, but with no explanation he's not detecting the enemy behind the tree. (00:22:10)

Taose! Ankoku Phoenix gundan - S1-E8

Plot hole: An important plot point establishes that Cloths can't be repaired except by embarking in the kind of quest Shiryu starts in the next episode. but Andromeda had her pauldron shattered before the chase, but it's perfectly whole in this one.

Ubawa reta! Kogane seii - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Ikki knocks down Seiya just moving his arm. It's clear that Seiya is wearing a red armband and a white bandage on his forearm and hand. A minute later though, a Black Saint is behind him and he sports two red bandages. (00:18:05)

Ubawa reta! Kogane seii - S1-E7

Other mistake: The Black Saint that surprises Seiya materializing behind him has the breastplate fully blue instead of black and blue like the others, just in that shot in a coloring mistake. (00:19:15)

Ubawa reta! Kogane seii - S1-E7

Other mistake: The sequence when Tatsumi slaps Ikki lacks basic perspective all around; Ikki is supposed to fall on the floor, but then again, his head stands tall in front of his gut, and he's just a kid. He could reach there only standing. (00:11:00)

Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Ikki catches Shun's chain wrapping it around his fist. It is the end with the ball. When he looks down on Shun before preparing for his attack that closes the episode, the part with the edges is the one entangled to his arm. (00:19:20)

Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: For some reason, the eyes of Phoenix's mask keep a coherent shape throughout the first part of his appearance - can't expect millimetre precision, but definitely consistent.Then he hits Shun from the Gold Cloth stand, and the eye slits become way more rounded and not resembling the ones from the beginning of the scene at all.

Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6

Other mistake: Pegasus and Dragon arrive at the arena, ringside. Close-up on Shun who looks fiercely at the source of the danger; in this shot there's a double coloring error, since he lacks the vertical stripe on the helmet, and the collar of his armor is flesh-colored. (00:15:00)
