Coming Home - S1-E13

Plot hole: Amuro flies the Core Fighter to the refugee camp. Taking a plane to get just across a hill is already kinda a headshaker, especially with White Base being short on resources, including fuel that is an issue in this very episode.Anyway, he lands it in the middle of the camp, and the people there tell him to please hide it. Later in the episode, we see that Amuro indeed hid it, in the middle of some woods, covering it perfectly in branches and other things. How in the world did he get the fighter there and on his own did all the camouflage work on the huge thing, is a prodigy of off-camera work.

Plot hole: The logistics of the episode don't really make sense; Amuro's home village is held by (literally) a handful of Earth soldiers cut from their main force and that spend their time getting drunk and acting as occupation force, but Zeon has a full base (again, literally, almost) next door that sends reconnaissance troops and even aircraft to check for any activity at the refugee camp. There's no reason why the undisciplined and free soldiers would stay in such a dangerous position where they could be wiped out by overwhelming forces anytime, nor why Zeon would keep a pocket of the enemy forces that they can crush with ridiculous ease.

Audio problem: The first refugee to greet Amuro has a male voice (original version, but also English dub), but when you look at the figure, it's kinda rounded in the chest and in the next shot when just the legs are in sight, just match the positions of those around Amuro and it's quite clear that 'he' is the one wearing a skirt.

Other mistake: The car waiting for Kamaria at the end of the episode as Amuro and Bright salute her, is drawn with or without glass in the windows. (00:21:00)

Character mistake: Kamaria Ray thinks back of her son shooting at the Zeon troopers with a mental image that is wrong; Amuro was not shooting from the bed, but from the door. (00:15:20 - 00:19:20)

Continuity mistake: When the Zeon soldier enters the refugee camp structure, looks around and starts questioning the kid, the people in the background change from shot to shot. (00:13:50)

Continuity mistake: Amuro looking from the window sees 4 drunk soldiers in his living room. Two of them tumble on the ground, where items like a helmet, a plate and empty liquor bottles lay around. One of the soldiers even has a bottle in his left hand he is still drinking from after the fall. When he enters the room and turns the radio off, all those items have disappeared. (00:04:20)

Continuity mistake: Sayla and Mirai are chillin' on the beach, sunbathing. They even comment on the sun and how light comes from just one direction as opposed to what they are used to in space and the colonies. Kai with his boombox passes them by asking about Amuro, and suddenly they both (Mirai in particular, under the parasol) have big shadows over them. (00:02:45)
