Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E9
Plot hole: Miyuki is not a detective or has any qualification in the world of crime novel. Her presence (taking up one of the 10 slots of detectives picked from all over the world, she's not an accessory to Kindaichi) is completely unexplained and nobody questions it at all.
Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E9
Plot hole: According to what was established in the first episode of the arc, the statute of limitations for the crime has expired. In this third one though, it is said that they are afraid that the body will be discovered. There's no link between them and the victim (s), so to say that they joined the whole madness because they needed to prevent the castle from being 'moved' is absurd.
Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E8
Character mistake: Hajime's proposed solution is obviously wrong, but not for the reason they mention; the 'killer' could never clean themselves up completely and effortlessly in such a short time from the soot.
Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Hajime's towel changes color throughout the scene when he joins Miyuki and the inspector in the main room. (00:04:25)
Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When the party discovers the real corpse, the door physically knocks forward the 2 ball, which is on the floor. Later in the scene, the 2 ball rolls on the desk. (00:21:15)
Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki notices that there's something in the doll's hand, it's an 8-ball, and there are two on the table. As the scene later shows, it's supposed to be a 6 ball, together with a 3 ball. (00:14:50)
Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E7
Other mistake: Everyone rushes to Miyuki's position when she screams having found the first "victim." However, she screamed a while before already when Kindaichi scared her, and nobody ran to her then.
Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki tells Hajime that the winner of the contest will receive a castle, she's wearing a bag with a long and wide strap that happens to be colored exactly like her cyclamen shirt. In the rest of the scene she is carrying a pink and cream gym bag with short handles. (00:03:20)
Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E6
Plot hole: Kindaichi's denouement can happen only because the killer misses half a dozen people leaving the cottage covertly; Kindaichi does not have a clue of the killer's observation point, and despite what the detective says, the killer was not just listening, but watching them too with binoculars. Moreover, moving a microphone sensitive enough to capture the sounds of the whole room would produce noises which would have alerted the killer that they were tampering with it.
Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E6
Plot hole: The plan of the killer relies on a couple of pretty strong coincidences, such as the fact that they wouldn't realise their common link (he knows nothing about what happened on the cruise, so he couldn't know that they all wouldn't realise they have met before) and the fact that the boat is discovered at the perfect time for him to commit murder (on someone who wasn't part of the trip, but is willing to join him).
Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: Hajime grabs Eiji by the collar of the shirt using his right hand, which ends up being his left hand when Miyuki wakes up. (00:02:40)
Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: After they find out that the bridge has been destroyed, the survivors debate what to do. One of them mentions that it's suicide to go in the woods without a map. He does so getting in front of Kindaichi in the aerial shot, but he's behind him in the next shot. (00:14:50)
Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: During dinner, the writer (Itsuki) approaches the artist (Kobayashi). The food in front of Kobayashi changes between shots; in the overhead shot of the table you could see just a small plate with two chopsticks, which change position in a later shot, with a beer glass added too. (00:10:00)
Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi falls through the bridge, he's carrying the bag on the left shoulder first, the right shoulder then. (00:06:15)
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E3
Other mistake: The beginning of this episode does not match the previous one; Saki at the climax of the previous episode asked "Is that blood?" filming the scene, standing behind Hajime. In this episode he asks that when Kindaichi already turned around and grabbed him by the neck. (00:01:50 - 00:21:10)
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E2
Other mistake: Kindaichi is afraid something might have happened to Miyuki. Finding blood, he has a flashback with several images about her. The final one though, the one with her sticking her tongue out and making a funny face, is something he can't reminisce about, since he wasn't there at the time. (00:18:40 - 00:21:00)
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Makabe puts Miyuki against the wall, the shadows on the wall and the position of her hair in front of the shoulders are inconsistent between shots. (00:18:50)
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: One of the reporter's that act as audience and supporters for Makoto is quite recognizable because he's in the front line and wearing glasses. His jacket is reddish/maroon at first, but in the rest of the scene becomes purple/blue. It's not a matter of lighting or lack of detail when he is in the background/shadows, just compare it to the guy next to him wearing green to see it's a proper coloring mistake. (00:06:20)
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: During the introduction of Sakuragi's card puzzle, the cards change position between shots; for instance the two of spades in close-up bridges across two adjoined desks, while it's in a completely different spot in other shots. (00:07:40)
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: Miyuki dirties her hand with ketchup leaning against a wall; however, the white wall has no red markings. (00:04:00)
