Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Pegasus armor is contained by a box, metallic grey, placed on a slab next to the Grand Pope. When Seiya cuts off Cassios' ear, the box appears gold/bronze colored, and when he tells Cassios "I owe you quite a lot of payback", the pillar with the armor is right behind him already instead than the top of the stairs. (00:05:50)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the fight with Cassios, blood keeps changing position on the face of the beastly man, in particular on his chin and above the right eyebrow. He also bleeds profusely on his shoulder, and plenty at the beginning runs down his other arm and hand, but there's no trace in any of the subsequent drawings, only the face stays bloodied. (00:05:50 - 00:11:30)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The octagonal ornament at the centre of the sides of the box containing the Pegasus cloth is considerably larger in the arena scenes compared to the scenes in the hut. Even worse, when Seiya runs away with it leaping over craters and such, it gets even smaller, and stays that way also in the following episode. (00:12:50)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Shaina launches her Thunder Claw announcing the name of the move for the first time, she has blood coming down her armpit. She'll get that wound only much later in the fight when Seiya punches from the bottom of the slope and tears her shoulderstrap off. (00:15:10)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Character mistake: Not to dispute physics in an anime about people drawing arcane cosmic powers from constellations, but when Marin explains to Seiya what happens when you shatter a rock into smaller pebbles, she says that you "destroy its atoms." That's not how physics works and luckily for her, Seiya and everyone else in Greece at the time, she did not create a nuclear fission in the palm of her hand just to prove her point.

Moero! Pegasus Ryuseiken - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: At the entrance of Saori Kido's villa, Jabu asks Seiya to get on his knees and to leave the armor. Seiya has his left arm relaxed, but when it switches to a close-up, his left hand is up and latching on the strap of the cloth's box. (00:07:00)

Moero! Pegasus Ryuseiken - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Seiya tumbles back on his feet after delivering the fatal blow to Geki, his upper left side of the torso is all painted metallic, but there's a section in between the armpit and the sash that should be his red shirt (you can see it in the correct color during the animation, and turn of the wrong color when it stops). (00:20:45)

Moero! Pegasus Ryuseiken - S1-E2

Other mistake: In the ending shot of the tournament bracket showing the potential future opponents, the two saints' names are written the wrong way, as "DORAGON" and "ANDOROMEDA", instead of Dragon and Andromeda. (00:22:00)

Cygnus! Hyogen no senshi - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Saori waves off Tatsumi and his tray of newspapers. In the next shot, her earring becomes a solid circle instead of the pearl grape earring she wears in the rest of the scene (with same angle and camera distance, it's not a simplification of the drawing). (00:04:55)

Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Trivia: When Seiya opens his eyes hearing Miho calling his name, behind her in the audience a particularly bored animator decided to put in some silly characters, including the Tin Man, the Lion and a girl with the look of Dorothy from the wizard of Oz. (00:19:20)
