Kyaputen Tsubasa

A Brilliant Fight - S2-E5

Other mistake: After the lengthy recap of the previous episode, Misugi is facing Teppei Kisugi, but the football shrinks during their struggle, being at one point smaller than the 10-year old's foot. (00:03:20)

Sammo

The Brave Fighters from the North - S2-E2

Other mistake: In the stands, Wakashimazu is witnessing the match wearing his team uniform, spoiling the surprise since he has not officially joined the team, and he was not wearing them previously, in fact he went into the crowd without them. (00:03:05)

Sammo

Encounters in Semi-Final - S2-E1

Other mistake: At the end of the match that Misugi singlefootedly turns around for his team scoring 4 goals in 15 minutes, the TV commentator praises his skill dubbing him "Field prince." In his internal monologue, Hyuga takes exception...so he is responding to something spoken on TV and that he couldn't hear since he's on the pitch. (00:07:10)

Sammo

Tsubasa in the Trap - S2-E6

Other mistake: The play that ends with the aerial challenge between Musashi's forward and Mamoru Izawa does not make sense, since it happens in the penalty area, which would need to be enormous to allow long range passes and lengthy runs. It was meant to start in the midfield and not in the penalty box, obviously.

Tsubasa Is Sieged - S1-E14

Other mistake: If Meiwa scored already 10 goals the previous year (when the championship was won by Shuutetsu) it is hard to explain how nobody from Shuutetsu knew about Hyuga, since they were serious contenders. (00:13:40)

Sammo

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21

Other mistake: When Sawada scores, in the reaction shot on the various team members Kisugi is smiling/laughing instead of being angry/worried, and the player who just lost the ball is in the background. (00:10:15)

Sammo

Fast Game in the Mud - S1-E13

Other mistake: When Genzo browses the coach notes and figures out instantly what should have been obvious to anyone (the opponent never conceded any goal, that is no small detail!), the way the action of the opponent is shown, both attackers were in offside. (00:11:55)

Sammo

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Other mistake: During the montage with the victorious march towards the semifinals, a Nankatsu supporter is waving a pure white flag instead of the team one. (00:11:00)

Sammo

No Easy Way - S1-E12

Other mistake: The perspective when Mr. Ozora tells Tsubasa "I'll let you go to Brazil" is wrong; it looks like he's standing right in front of him, but he's on the bleachers. (00:04:50)

Sammo

The Provocation - S1-E11

Other mistake: The tryout match happens on a field with no audience at all. Hyuga just lies there on a bench without anyone saying anything to him. Both the coach and Misaki know who he is, but nobody noticed him when he was a hugely conspicuous presence. Of course his interference in the match is pure anime silliness; nobody bats an eyelid during his invasion, and he fetches the ball from the forward unnoticed, coming from the opposite goal area.

Sammo

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: Shuutetsu's sweeper Shingo Takasugi is the victim of an obvious coloring error during his introduction, and as he kicks the ball from the defense he is shown wearing the purple and blue uniform of the goalkeeper instead of the teal and red of the team jersey. Some international dubs even try to cover the mistake making up a line about him being a substitute keeper in absence of Genzo (but his jersey changes intermittently). (00:08:55)

Sammo

The Football Is My Best Friend - S1-E4

Other mistake: Look at the bleachers when Ryo tells to the team that they need to examine Shuutetsu's playing; there are 11 players wearing the jersey, plus Tsubasa who is off to watch it running by the railing. Too many for the size of their team. (00:07:25)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Trivia: When Sanae starts waving the flag she made for Tsubasa, in the background you can see a couple of grossly disproportional characters most likely drawn as a joke by some animator, and even the Road Runner. (00:14:55)
