Other mistake: When Jaden and Syrus enter their dorm room, the curtains are closed, but this doesn't affect the lighting at all.

(00:02:35)
Audio problem: After Jaden says he and Syrus are their new roommates, Chumley turns his back to Jaden and Syrus to go back to sleep. Jaden and Syrus then turn to each other and say "Uh", but their lips don't move. (00:03:40)

Revealing mistake: When Chazz summons Reborn Zombie in Defence Mode, the monster appears on the duel field, as well as the playing card beneath it, positioned at a horizontal angle, for it to stand on.
