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)
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)
26th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
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)
26th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
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: In the shot from behind when Sanae watches Tsubasa and the others leave the last training, the redheaded cheerleader is the one directly behind her and not the rightmost one. (00:20:25)
26th Jan 2021
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)
26th Jan 2021
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). (00:11:40)

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)
26th Jan 2021
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)
26th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Other mistake: In the opening longshot of the Shuutetsu sparring match with Mizukoshi, the side on the right has 10 players instead of 11. (00:07:15)
26th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Roberto and Natsuko Oozora are laughing after Tsubasa left, Roberto does not have the large dish in front of him, and he's leaning against the table with his left arm instead of the right. (00:05:40)
26th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Other mistake: Tsubasa is quicker and much more skilled than his friends with the ball and took off much earlier too, but they reach the crosswalk at the same time. (00:04:10)
26th Jan 2021
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)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: The Shimizu goalkeeper reacts to Tsubasa's shot in two different poses. In the second he also lost his gloves. (00:19:15)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: The first time we see Tsubasa's old friend Yayoi, she's surrounded by different people in the opening shots, and a different new batch later again when she reveals her name. (00:15:25 - 00:19:40)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: The animation of the team laughing at Ryo's joke about scoring 10 goals is botched to the point of the players basically convulsing. (00:12:55)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Audio problem: The Shimada team let out a loud cheer, but the movement happens a good second later only, in the background. (00:05:55)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: When the Shimada players listen to the pep talk from their number 10, their jerseys just go crazy; some have written "Shimada" on it, but some others "Shimad" and there's a guy with just "SHIMA" on it. (00:05:00)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: While Roberto explains the strategy to his mom, Tsubasa is busy fending off 2 opponents. In the first shot though there are 4, two of them just disappeared and his teammate Urabe appears instead. (00:16:35)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Factual error: The goal kick after 0-2 in the Nankatsu-Shimada game is illegal, with a (nondescript) player shown kicking the ball forward to himself rather than passing. (00:16:20)
