Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Other mistake: The Pegasus saint is proclaimed the winner. There is a shot of him seen from the back, right fist raised in victory. Looking at the wide shot that precedes it, it's quite funny to notice the pose but with the character positioned the wrong way; his left arm is hovering perfectly horizontal 1 meter above the ropes instead of being supported by it. (00:13:00)

Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Other mistake: The dragon on Shiryu's back fades as he approaches death; it should then be already heavily faded, considering that since the punch that supposedly stopped his heart, Seiya has been visited by doctors arrived ringside, stretchered out, put back on his feet, etc. (00:17:00)

Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Other mistake: When a wobbly Pegasus is charged by Miho's presence and is about to strike, for some reason Shun is drawn in a way that makes it look like he's carrying Shiryu (he faces the same direction) rather than holding him still. (00:19:40)

Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Plot hole: Miho is watching the match at home, and it is day - the kids in the previous episode also entered the Dome when it was afternoon, and a clock at their place when they watched the first of Seiya's fights showed it was 4 pm. Yet she takes a taxi for the arena when it's dark outside.

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)

Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6

Plot hole: Shiryu tells Seiya that he had a feeling that someone was watching them from the shadows "ever since our fight ended." That makes no sense, since he was comatose (and he says himself that Shunrei had to tell him what happened). In the manga, he says that he had this feeling since the tournament began, which makes much more sense (plus Phoenix does not show up at that specific time being detected by the Andromeda chain). (00:03:35)

Fenikkusu! Jigoku o mita senshi - S1-E6

Other mistake: Pegasus and Dragon arrive at the arena, ringside. Close-up on Shun who looks fiercely at the source of the danger; in this shot there's a double coloring error, since he lacks the vertical stripe on the helmet, and the collar of his armor is flesh-colored. (00:15:00)

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)
