Blocked Off - S1-E6
Other mistake: Masaru apologizes for the blunder (he butted heads with a teammate). Tsubasa cheers the rest of the team; look at the goalkeeper. He's wearing the same uniform as the rest of the players instead of his red jersey. (00:08:05)
14th Jan 2021
Character mistake: Tsubasa takes part in the 200m dash because, as Ryo says "the runner of our team got injured." The runner? There are many athletes taking part in the contest, but both come from just 2 teams. Also needless to say, the race would have also been invalidated, and yet Tsubasa who showed up with no permission and kicking a ball is proclaimed the winner. (00:07:25)

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Taro and his dad see at the horizon Tsubasa and Roberto going home from their training, there's no football next to Taro's legs. His sneakers are also different, with no pattern. (00:22:00)
14th Jan 2021
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Taro Misaki says bye to his friends since he has to follow his dad elsewhere. Between the penultimate shot of him leaving and the previous and the last, the kids have changed entirely their clothes. (00:13:05)
14th Jan 2021
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Character mistake: Everyone is making a sincere effort to avoid touching the ball with their hands for the whole episode, even to the point of getting in late at school, but when the kids are waiting in line behind Ryo peeping into the classroom, a few of them have their hands on the ball. (00:06:45)
14th Jan 2021
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Other mistake: In the opening shot of the dinner scene, Tsubasa's soccer ball is on the chair next to him and as logic dictates it is below table level. Later though it is much higher. Conversely, Roberto's head in other shots is so low that looks like he's sitting on the floor. (00:04:45)
14th Jan 2021
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Audio problem: When Tsubasa says bye to his friends from the top of the overpass, his mouth is not animated for the greater part of the line. (00:04:30)
14th Jan 2021
The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Roberto instructs the players to take their football everywhere. Ryo is the first to do so, but the soccer balls are in different positions from the beginning of the scene when he started the speech, even if Roberto hasn't moved. (00:02:20 - 00:03:20)
8th Jan 2021
Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3
Trivia: International versions change Roberto's message to his coach at San Paulo FC, adding for some reason that he met a girl he fell in love with. This girl is never referenced nor appears, since, well, she does not exist? Roberto mentions that he met Tsubasa instead, who he wants to bring to greatness. (00:12:40)
8th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Tsubasa's mom calls him because the movers' truck is leaving. He kicks the ball outside the window, and is downstairs to catch it, quite the impossible feat especially when you factor in that he kicked the ball with not much of a vertical trajectory, almost in a straight parabolic pattern out of the window, and meanwhile he also found time to wear and fasten his shoes. And it's not even played up as something strange. (00:03:00)
7th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: When Ryo tells Roberto that a drunkard like him is unfit to be the coach, next to him there's someone with an orange jersey, but there's nobody wearing that color in the wider shots. (00:21:10)
7th Jan 2021
Other mistake: Needless to say, having a football on your belly can't cushion the impact with a truck. Even forgiving this obviously cartoonish impossibility, still the way Tsubasa lands looks all kinds of wrong, with the forward momentum instantly halted as the ball touches the ground again. (00:14:25)
7th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: In the flashback, Tsubasa's father all of a sudden between cuts has his hand on top of the head before realizing that the kid is missing. (00:10:15)
7th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: Tsubasa dribbles 9 to 11 players in his first sprint, never stops advancing when tackled (he jumps over the offenders), dribbles 5 more, but in front of the penalty area there are at least 8 new guys ready for him. (00:07:05)
7th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: Tsubasa is athletic and quick and goes straight towards the goal starting from the kick-off spot at midfield, but a couple of opponents he dribbled try to tackle him again, and are incoherently shown as tackling from the front even if they came from behind. (00:07:00)
7th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: In his first dribble, Tsubasa goes past 3 opponents, but there's just one behind him in the next shot. (00:06:50)
7th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, the ranks of the team Tsubasa battles against keep changing and going back and forth between 10 to about 13 people.
6th Jan 2021
Audio problem: When the handball team captain is about to throw, the ball bounces making the sound it'd make if he were bouncing it indoors, not on a grass field. (00:13:40)
6th Jan 2021
Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa is staring at the soccer grounds sign, it is written with a different layout in different shots. (00:10:10)
