Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 3 - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi is listening to Busujima's call, the bead of perspiration (not a comedic one) on his face changes position between shots; in close-up it is located much higher above the cheekbone. (00:03:05)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 3 - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi receives the keys of the building from superintendent Akechi. Notice the somewhat lengthy pieces of wire linking the keys to the large ring. When Kindaichi cracks the case and grabs the keys from his room telling Miyuki to go, the links are half the size they were. (00:19:55 - 00:20:45)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 3 - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki offers the cake to Hajime-chan, the cup of coffee switches side of the table without her touching it - in fact her hands are busy with the cake, even. (00:20:10)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 3 - S1-E21
Audio problem: Kindaichi is listening to the recording of the phone call a couple times over; however he does not listen to it in a loop, but rather the file shows up as lasting 52 seconds, with the call being just a handful of seconds. On top of that, when he listens to it again in front of the building, the timestamps don't match.
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Other mistake: When Kindaichi shows his phone with the incriminating evidence, the phone's charge is at 60%, exactly the same charge it had last time we saw the same phone screenshot for the same purpose in the previous episode. Mere minutes later for the bathtub demonstration Miyuki calls him and the phone is charged at 80%. (00:07:50)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi runs the demonstration with his phone, the chain of the bathtub changes position between shots. (00:08:40)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Audio problem: Busujima screams that he's not lying when the police inspector reminds him that Marina Togami's torture happened in his apartment. Despite the scream, his jaw is totally still in that shot (camera behind him, above the shoulder). (00:10:15)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Other mistake: When Busujima tells the real story of what happened 3 years before, the bathtub in the background drained completely, but nobody removed the drain stopper, which in fact is in frame and perfectly placed. (00:10:55)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: Flashback with Togami and Busujima chatting in the cafe; in the aerial widest shot, the orange juice is on the wrong side of the table, left of the plate instead of right. (00:12:15)
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: The position of Kindaichi's phone when it falls inside the bathtub changes between shots. The tub itself also fills way too quickly - and Kindaichi is in no rush to retrieve it.
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 1 - S1-E23
Other mistake: When the guy who keeps crying tells Kindaichi the name of his mother, he regains his missing tooth just for a shot. (00:16:15)
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 1 - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: The tickets on the counter at the beginning of the episode are one on top of the other but change position between shots.
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 2 - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: The bottles of tea on the buffet table change position between shots as the Game Master introduces the trial. (00:04:50)
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 2 - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: When the contestant drops her ramen bowl and chopsticks, the food, the bowl and the chopsticks are in different positions throughout the rest of the scene. (00:08:00)
The Game Mansion Murder Case File 3 - S1-E25
Plot hole: An additional plot twist of the episode has the Puppeteer from the Hell as the mastermind behind the operation. What does not make sense is the fact that he regularly visited the killer in prison showing his face fully in the open. To make it even more ludicrous, the next episode shows that he needs to constantly wear a mask because he's wanted by the police, and he is on the run. Previous episodes showed already without a doubt that the police had all his data and pictures.
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Inside the hotel room, the three guys from 18 years prior receive a macabre gift. The one in the grey suit opens the box, and the knuckles of the severed hand are pointed towards him. In the last shot of the table though, the hand is turned the other way around. (00:08:15)
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1
Character mistake: For being a genius raised abroad, Takato's English pronunciation is abysmal - check out when he says the line about the magic crystal on stage. (00:12:40)
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi is slapped offstage, his body turns one way in one shot, but he lands in the opposite way in the next. (00:13:25)
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1
Other mistake: During this episode and the next 4 of this story arc, the signs of the stores in Hong Kong are recycled from the first episode of the series. Hong Kong is a pretty big city, the odds of Kindaichi (who is not staying at the same hotel nor dealing with anything related to the first case) just happening to be in the same nondescript streets with the "Ocean Guest House" are astronomically low.
