Other mistake: Nankatsu doesn't get a corner kick after the keeper fumbled the ball and a midfielder headed it past the line.

Other mistake: There are just 9 players (plus himself) when Genzo rallies the team after the goal. (00:15:10)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3
Other mistake: Urabe mentions that Nankatsu lost to Shutetsu 30 to 0 (which seems rather uncanny for a 40 minutes match), but the score mentioned in the first episode was 10 to 0. The more extravagant result ends up being the canon one.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3
Other mistake: The kid who wants the soccer team to stop training is told off by Sanae, who points at the good efforts on the pitch. The animation of the team in training has noticeable errors, with a player that suddenly appears coming out of nowhere from behind the rightmost one, who is standing immobile in front of the goal and after a second disappears abruptly.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3
Other mistake: Spurred by his new deskmate, Tsubasa juggles the ball and sends it with a header right onto the empty seat. Pretty sure it's forbidden in any school to just come to class with a football, but besides that; look at how the football is in view. How tall would the chair have to be for that to happen? Whoever sits on it has no room to put their legs under the desk for sure. (00:10:35)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
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)
Other mistake: When Miss Ozora tells Roberto that he should have shown her The Letter from the beginning, Tsubasa is drawn looking in the wrong direction. (00:17:25)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
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)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
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.

Other mistake: Genzo's challenge invites anyone to score shooting outside the penalty area...but we see that at least the rugby captain is standing inside the box. (00:12:20)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: The international dubs (Spanish, Italian, from what I understand even Arabian) have the narrator say that Fujisawa (which is where the international dubs set the story instead of the fictional town of Nankatsu) is renowned for its football teams, plural. That's not true, since the only strong team is Genzo's Shutetsu, and the competing team in the local derby loses 10-0 to them, and the prestige the city has comes from their victory in the previous championship tournament.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: Star keeper Genzo Wakabayashi has a trademark hat with his name and a cool logo. According to his manga character design he was supposed to wear the Adidas logo, but copyright issues arose and the Nankatsu logo is a great substitute visually - sadly it makes no sense, because he is sporting it already at the beginning of the anime and the team with that logo will be properly formed only later in the series.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: When Ishizaki is unwrapping his leg from the bandages, he's wearing the football boot he is NOT wearing before and afterwards. (00:15:10)
17th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: Misaki's dad just arrived at the stadium, and seeing his son play, he strokes his beard with a satisfied look. Problem is, he's still standing and the hand that rubs his chin was holding a toolbox he did not have time to put down (or anywhere to place it on, for that matter). (00:10:40)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: After his ankle injury from the previous episode, Ryo writhes in pain touching...his knee. (00:03:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: The linesman's flag as he hands the ball to Taki is unreasonably tiny. (00:18:45)
17th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: After the first extra time, only 8 players (plus the keeper and Ryo) are back to the bench for all the pep talk and chat. (00:16:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3
Other mistake: When Manabu is approached by the bully, his glasses in close-up lack the bridge. (00:13:40)
14th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: When Tsubasa kicks the soccer ball returning Wakabayashi's shot, the ball goes under the lorry and flies past several drive shafts. (00:21:50)
14th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: Masaru falls into the river and Tsubasa follows him getting knee-deep and with socks and shoes on, but the moment they step out of the water both are perfectly dry and have no problem or discomfort at all. (00:07:20)
