Continuity mistake: Coach Mikami's sunglasses are pitch black during most scenes, but in his reaction shot to the news of Roberto Hongo's international retirement they are tan. (00:11:35)
Continuity mistake: When Roberto is talking with the Ozoras before a horde of little busybodies invades the kitchen, Kodai Ozora has his pipe in the mouth or in hand between shots. (00:16:30)
Continuity mistake: The kids who were not picked in the tryouts are standing in front of the trio that was selected. One of the kids, the one on the far right, has in some shots a maroon shirt, in the side view maroon shorts. In the shot when they are all grinning at Ishizaki, one with a celeste shirt has suddenly red hair. (00:01:35 - 00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: The first time we see the Shuutetsu trio in action, Teppei Kisugi shoots at goal. The ball's POV shows it is headed towards the left side of the goal, but then in the next shot the goal is scored to the right of the keeper. (00:03:40)
Continuity mistake: When Ishizaki is dribbling his friends who act as living posts, the one with the big unitooth and unibrow is wearing brown shorts in the first shot, then yells at him while wearing black ones. Less than a minute later Ishizaki gets angry because he can't take a break, and the same guy is sporting blue shorts. (00:04:40)
Continuity mistake: One of the players maimed by Hyuga holds his bleeding wound. In the next shot, there's no blood or tear on the sock anymore. (00:08:55)
Continuity mistake: Genzo picks up his injury falling with other 3 players. Forgetting the clumsy fall not fitting someone of his caliber in an easy catch, they fall at the wrong angle, wrong position/distance from the goal, and in the close-up, the offender 's foot stomps Genzo's ankle almost perpendicularly from above, but it's an angle of impact incompatible with their fall. (00:11:05)
Continuity mistake: When Kojiro Hyuga lands after a wuxia-like leap over the goal, Genzo is suddenly not wearing his gloves. (00:14:55)
Continuity mistake: Hyuga loses his baseball cap early during the dribbling, but it's back at his feet when he's standing savouring his triumph over Genzo in the box. (00:15:50 - 00:18:30)
No Easy Way - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: In the first shot, from distance, of the bench, you can spot Wakabayashi sitting with a grim look on his face. A closer shot that follows shows nobody on the bench. (00:03:45)
No Easy Way - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: Urabe tackles the opponent from the side, but in the next shot he's belly down turned 180° compared to the tackle. (or the ball changed direction in a similar fashion). (00:07:30)
No Easy Way - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa first scores, the keeper has no gloves, when Tsubasa scores a second time the gloves go from blue with a dark red back to yellow, and when he seals his hat-trick, the keeper has white gloves with the back blue like his jersey and then yellow. (00:10:00)
No Easy Way - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: In the second qualifying match, Tsubasa advances towards the keeper from the first match (blue jersey) and scores against a new one (light beige jersey). (00:11:15)
No Easy Way - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: Wakabayashi lands on the right ankle, which is not the injured one, and still he does suffers the career-threatening relapse. (00:12:50)
No Easy Way - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: The finalists are announced; look at the Shimada club. Besides the bad design of their shirts with the name handwritten in western characters that clashes with the anatomy, they are in different poses at the cut. (00:13:25)
No Easy Way - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: In the shot when the Meiwa team is begging Hyuga to play with them, the M of their jersey is black and not yellow. (00:13:50)
Continuity mistake: The scoreboard at the beginning of the episode is different from the previous; Nankatsu is on the top row, it was the bottom row in 1-12. (00:02:40)
Continuity mistake: As the Nankatsu supporters try to rally after the initial disadvantage, the red-headed kid is to the far left, right, left of the group. (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: Morisaki in this episode is wearing the number 12 jersey, but he started the previous episode with the number 1. (00:08:35)
Continuity mistake: Takeshi Sawada leaves everyone on the left wing in the dust. He beats an opponent that from the ground says "He's incredible." The guy behind him got himself a pair of spectacles in between shots. (00:13:40)
