Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Ishizaki is helping Tsubasa to get the ball back, there's a reaction shot on Urabe. His only recognizable teammate is the hat guy, but his hat had the initials "OONN" in the previous episodes, and now the hat says "DONN." You can see the difference in this episode too when Ishizaki has a flashback of their match against Nishigaoka, the hat guy is the keeper. (00:17:00 - 00:18:25)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: On his way to goal, Tsubasa realises that the Shuutetsu Trio is chasing him. That is already a pretty big comeback, but Teppei Kisugi tackles him coming from the front, even. (00:20:45)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Other mistake: There were 3 defenders not taking part to the birdcage strategy, but Tsubasa does not have to beat any of them, except Takasugi who tries an American football tackle that would be penalized even by the very loose standards of the referees of this anime, and that happens as if he had to intercept him coming from behind; by every logic he should be in front of him.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Character mistake: According to the tactical reading of Tsubasa's dad, Tsubasa's flaw is that he's not used to team play since he's just been playing with the ball on his own from a tender age. Just seconds before, Genzo made the comment that Tsubasa is a clever player that can read the passes of his opponents instantly. So he's both clueless about team play and an expert on it in the space of 30 seconds.

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa advances from kick-off, we see beaver-toothed Taki and another nondescript player running towards him, but in the next shot the one he is dribbling is Mamoru Izawa. (00:04:10)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After conceding, Nankatsu moves forward on a kick-off. Tsubasa, Ryo Ishizaki and another nondescript player are the ones advancing, but the generic guy is quickly replaced by Okawa. (00:03:45)

The Show Must Go On - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Sanae's patchwork flag has its patches positioned differently since the previous episode. The red one is the closest to the pole instead of being in the bottom further corner. (00:03:25)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Other mistake: In the last shot of the team cheering for Mr. Oozora's promise of a meaty treat, the 11 members of the team are all wearing the same jersey and shorts, including the keeper. (00:18:55)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Genzo is beaten by Tsubasa's corner kick, but the post denies him. The reaction shot on Sanae shows her with a flag that is much smaller than the one she was holding in the other shots. Same when that same angle is shown again, like after the goal. (00:16:40 - 00:21:50)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Shuutetsu team are doubting themselves, the players look towards Genzo. During his close-up when he ponders "It's not only because of Tsubasa that we aren't scoring", his logo is missing from the cap. (00:10:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa once more denies Kisugi the chance to shoot to goal, his tackle (which would have been a foul anyway) sweeps off his left leg or his right leg depending on the shot. (00:07:30)

Blocked Off - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Taro Misaki is telling the Hitlerian groundskeeper that he'll go watch the game for a bit despite his gloomy outlook, his shoes are blue, but they are yellow/brown in the rest of the episode. (00:04:30)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Character mistake: The climactic football match takes place at 2 PM, but the French and Italian dubs have Roberto mention that he's anxious to see how Tsubasa ("Oliver") will play "tonight." (00:06:00)

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)
