Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: The detective at the beginning of the episode shouts "Elena!" and grabs the second bar to the right of the decorated part of the gate. When he lets go, you can tell from behind that he is letting go of the closest bar. (00:00:30)

The Left Hand of the Magician - S1-E5

Factual error: Interviewing the circus crowd, Lupin talks with a guy that is counting a bunch of 5 euro banknotes. The notes lack serial numbers, but even if we consider okay the lack of detail in such a tight close-up where they bothered to reproduce with pretty good precision the rest of the filigree, they surely are shaped wrong, being at least a 30% wider than an actual 5 € note. (00:06:40)

Until Sunset, the Full Moon - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: During the announcement that she is running for office, from Zenigata's point of view Elena is very far away, quite literally a dot in the horizon as if she were on the other end of a large city square, but in the reverse shot from her position, Zenigata is just the other side of a relatively narrow street. (00:20:50)

2% Chance of Survival - S1-E3

Plot hole: Nix's hypersensitive hearing is disturbed by the smoke bomb exploding close by, but he is not thrown off at all by Lupin's unsilenced gun in the enclosed space, which produces a louder and sharper sound.

The Marriage of Lupin III - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Right after his old pals left Lupin alone at the wedding reception, Rebecca jumps at him from behind. She places both hands on his shoulders, but in the next shot she has just her left hand on his matching shoulder. (00:05:35)

2% Chance of Survival - S1-E3

Factual error: Fujiko is reading from a fictitious Italian newspaper ("La voce dei fatti") that reads the Japanese way, with the front page being where the last page would be in the Western design. Obviously no such publication could exist in Italy. That's also inconsistent throughout the scene itself, since at the beginning it is a normal left-to-right newspaper, then turns Japanese when Lupin says "You have a very discerning eye." (00:06:35)

Sammo

The Sharpshooter - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Nino collapses (camera positioned behind Jigen's head) you can see a blood streak on his right arm as well as the left arm. In the rest of the scene he has blood only on the left arm. Moreover, when Jigen picks him up the puddle of blood on the floor has a different shape compared to what we see when he leaves doctor Livia to her medical duties. (00:12:20)

The False Play - S1-E2

Factual error: Brozzi asks for Lupin's help saying that the final of the Coppa Italia elimination tournament is in 3 days. He just played a game winning the semifinals, though; there is not, and never has been, such a small interval between the final stages of the cup. (00:06:20)

Sammo

The False Play - S1-E2

Factual error: The move Brozzi uses to score the final goal in his hat-trick is illegal; in soccer you can't climb on someone's shoulders to get an edge in a header, even if the person is a teammate. On a marginal note, the players he encounters in the box have names of real players at national level, but in completely different positions (Vieri and Toni were not defenders). (00:20:40)

Sammo

The False Play - S1-E2

Other mistake: Lupin is playing chess at the computer, and he wins, as a full screen message shows. It's odd though, since the CPU has a much higher score than he does (by almost three times). Also, the interface contains a "Restor" button, with an obvious typo. (00:10:10)

Sammo

The False Play - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The SUV with Leo and Mondini crashes into the wall; a rock and several handfuls of soil fall onto the roof. In the wider angle there are a couple of rocks and no dirt and terrain. (00:15:55)

Sammo

2% Chance of Survival - S1-E3

Factual error: The police car license plates shown in the episode have a 2 digits-1 letter -2 digits pattern, while in reality they follow a different one (one letter and then numbers only).

Sammo

The False Play - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Brozzi approaches Lupin in the bar, Jigen distances the glass from his lips before the first cut, but the glass is up and tilted towards his mouth in the next shot. (00:05:05)
