Continuity mistake: Wakashimazu (not yet revealed) is watching the end of the match on TV. His travel bag is on the right shoulder, as opposed to the previous episode, but gets back on the left side in the next shot. (00:10:00)

The Best Keeper of the Tournament - S1-E25
Continuity mistake: Before the opening of the match, Jun Misugi's jersey has a yellow collar, instead of its standard white. (00:06:25)

The Fight for the Final - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: There are 5 kids hitch-hiking. 3 hop on in the front of the truck...and 3 on the back. (00:14:10)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
The Fight for the Final - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: In the first shot of the hitch-hiking, the kid on the far right has dark blue pants instead of the light, greyish tone of the rest of the scene - compare it with the kid next to him, whose color is consistent. (00:13:20)

The Fight for the Final - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: After the match against Hanawa, everyone is in the dining room. They are asking Misaki if it's true that he'll leave soon. Teppei Kisugi has his arms on his knees in the first shot, on the table in the next shot. (00:09:40)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Other mistake: When the Nankatsu player is injured, Genzo reacts to the event watching it happen through the TV - but he shouldn't be there watching the match, he said he was going to train instead. The next episode in fact shows that he missed the goal and therefore the injury. (00:21:40)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: Just in front of the penalty area, Misaki dispossesses the Tachibanas thanks to Teppei Kisugi's distraction. Tsubasa then does a long pass to midfield for a trio of players...including Kisugi. (00:14:00)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Revealing mistake: In the very first move by Hanawa, Misaki and Tsubasa fold back before the twins' dynamic advance. Due to an animation error, Taro Misaki's hair in the wide shot flickers of a different color several times. (00:12:40)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Character mistake: The Tachibana twins' play leading to the second goal is called by the commentator as "on the limit of the offside", but that does not make sense; there are a bunch of players in front of them, it does not come close to being offside. (00:06:50)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Other mistake: Nankatsu scores to a goalkeeper that is wearing number 7 (obviously a poorly drawn 1). (00:08:25)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Audio problem: Hanawa's number 8 passes a long ball shouting the names of the twins, but without moving his lips. (00:06:40)

The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: Ishizaki listens in disbelief to his coach saying that Hanawa is the strongest team of the group. He points at himself, then in the next shot his arm is already down his side. (00:03:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
The Brothers Tachibana - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: The players are celebrating their victory. Urabe and Ishizaki in the middle are celebrating, but Urabe has Taki's teeth in the first shot, and in the second there are two Misakis and a Teppei Kisugi behind them - he should be in front of them. (00:01:40)

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21
Plot hole: The whole team went into the match, and the tournament, without knowing its rules. They all are totally surprised by the fact that the top 2 teams qualify from each group. Of course, that's quite impossible, especially since there are veterans in the team, Tsubasa is a football fanatic, Misaki is a clever student of the game, and you just don't walk into a tournament you have prepared for and looked forward to for ages without knowing such a basic fact.

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: Misugi's goal happens with either a high ball that curves downward, or a ground-level ball that rises suddenly, depending on the camera angle. (00:20:10)

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21
Stupidity: The decisive goal happens merely because the players pass the ball to the opposition instead of clearing to the wings. Reading poorly the situation happens in real life as well, but here we have a group of 4 players who charge in close formation, and with all the rest of the field at their disposal, the two Nankatsu players pass the ball in the middle of them for no reason.

Other mistake: Behind Ishizaki on the bench as he incites Tsubasa in the last action of the episode, Manabu's legs and feet do not link correctly (something went wrong in the drawing, he's sockless all of a sudden and the ankles are much wider than the feet). (00:19:25)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: Roberto realises Hyuga's fright technique; as he does that, the person between himself and Mrs. Oozora is wearing a white shirt. Reaction shot on her, and it's a man in yellow that was in a different position earlier. (00:11:20)

Other mistake: Hyuga comfortably catches with his chest a free kick that for no reason seems to have basically lost any strength and speed between shots. (00:09:30)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Character mistake: Rare instance in this anime, a foul is given when four players from Meiwa tackle Tsubasa at once and hook his foot when he successfully evaded them. In truth though, any referee should have blown the whistle already way before, since the four ganged on Tsubasa throwing themselves at him multiple times before that one, each time sticking their leg out without even aiming at the ball - Tsubasa has to literally duck to avoid one of those tackles.
