Cygnus! Hyogen no senshi - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the sequence where Hyoga defeats Ichi breaking his armor with the extreme cold of his Diamond Dust, in one intermediate bit the coloring artist did something wrong and didn't fill the leg with the green color of the suit, but rather the pale skin color of Ichi's. So, for a second it seems that Ichi is in his underwear, or Hyoga froze his pants off. (00:21:05)

Doragon! Muteki no ken to tate - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During the fight, the quantity of blood on Seiya's face changes often. For instance, when Shiryu says "Well, Seiya?" asking him to surrender, the rivulets of blood halt at the cheekbones, but the following shot shows thick streams of blood down to his chin. (00:11:35)

Doragon! Muteki no ken to tate - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Pegasus is flying through the air after Dragon's punch, the forearm guard is cracked but whole, while in the next close-up it shows a big hole. This mistake happens again when he is lying on the mat, and the hole patches up, leaving room to a mosaic of cracked pieces that stay in place. (00:12:20)

Doragon! Muteki no ken to tate - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Seiya is spread on the mat in a different position between the wide shot that follows Tatsumi's reaction to Saori's words, and the closer shot with Shiryu conveniently revealing the properties of his armor. Similar mistake a bit later, with the quantity of blood in front of him wildly changing - and no blood was seen in the aerial shot. (00:12:55)

Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: In the first part of the scene with Seiya at the hospital, there's a rather large ledge behind the bed, harboring a stupidly big pink box of tissues. Once Shiryu enters the room, there's a wall lamp and the space is narrower, the box is smaller and changes color to blue/grey. (00:02:30 - 00:08:40)

Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the kids nearly give Seiya a concussion for the lulz, the one in the middle has both hands on the blanket in the first shot, while in the following the blanket is covering less of the bed and so he has his right chubby hand on the sheets. (00:02:35)

Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Trivia: When Seiya falls down during the victory celebration and the three kids scream (the shot that comes before the one where Miho drops the picture) you can see briefly in the audience between the kids an easter egg appearance of Magical Princess Minky Momo, a character from a different anime.
