Continuity mistake: Mr. "OONN", the goalkeeper of Urabe's team, gets to wear a uniform completely different from his teammate's, but we saw him walk into the stadium exactly with the same tracksuit as the others 2 episodes earlier. And that he's wearing again in this same episode after the decisive goal. (00:07:05 - 00:13:45)

Continuity mistake: When Wakabayashi dives and catches the cross as it's still high in the air, Misaki and Tsubasa are to his right, then to his left. (00:05:15)

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

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Factual error: In this episode we have a random person showing up and being admitted to the team and playing as substitute on the spot, with nobody protesting. He puts on the (sweat-soaked, presumably!) uniform of another player and just goes ahead without any check from the referee or assistants. Given that the match is between two schools without necessarily having the official football federation involved, it is understandable, but they do not even ask the opposing coach if they are OK with something so obviously outside of any established rule. And they are still playing in a packed stadium, with official referees and even a radio commentator! Only in anime.

Other mistake: The linesman's flag as he hands the ball to Taki is unreasonably tiny. (00:18:45)

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)
Audio problem: When Urabe gets in the field to ask to be a substitute, western dubs (verified in the Italian and spanish dubs) have Ryo (or "Bruce") ask him who he is. Ryo knows perfectly well who Urabe is, and they played a friendly match just a couple episodes before too. (00:06:45)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: Wakabayashi is still on all fours, dejected after being bested by Tsubasa. He lost his baseball cap parrying the shot in the right corner, but now both his beret and his wounded pride are towards the opposite side of the goal. (00:05:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: Ishizaki kicks the air to show that the injury is no biggie, and then clutches the injured ankle. Which was the right ankle, but his hand is on the left one. (00:04:50)

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)

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)

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)
14th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: In the Italian dub, Ryo ("Bruce Harper" as he is known in international versions)'s mom yells at him for running away with the football...but Ryo is not carrying any ball. (00:05:05)
14th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: At the time of the injury, Ishizaki's sock in close-up is full white, blue-striped when he gets up. (00:19:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: Supporters cheer Ishizaki when he is trying to break the birdcage tactic. One of the guys who screams at him though is wearing the "S" jersey Shuutetsu supporters wear. (00:17:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: Tsubasa's diving header hits the post square in the front in close-up, but in the wide shot it rolls out for a goal kick to the right of the post. (00:09:20)
14th Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Character mistake: Tsubasa runs with the ball from kick-off, which is not allowed. The player who touches the ball first can't touch it again until another player passes it to him. (00:03:45)

Blocked Off - S1-E6
Other mistake: When Tsubasa's dad spurs him before the second half telling him that he hates losers, there are trees in the background. He is in the stadium with everyone else. (00:19:35)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Blocked Off - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: Masaru parries with his face the shot that beat the keeper. He does so being close to the left post, but when the scene is over he's in the middle of the goal. (00:09:40)
