The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Factual error: When Wolverine tears off the man's car door, he does so by putting his hands inside the spaces between the car door and the car's body. Those spaces are way too narrow for a person to fit their fingers inside. (00:03:25)
The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Continuity mistake: Shoulder pads appear on Jubilee's coat at the end of the episode. (00:19:45)

The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Continuity mistake: When the biker discovers the children hiding in the tree, his motorcycle is parked right next to the tree with the left side of his motorcycle facing the pit.

The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Continuity mistake: The village elder Yoshida-san suddenly has sideburns and a goatee when Soichi is mocking Wolverine. He is clean-shaven for all other parts of the episode. (00:07:25)

The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Revealing mistake: The footage of Jubilee flying off in the mini-jet is recycled footage of her flying Colossus back to Russia from the season 4 episode "Red Dawn."

The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Other mistake: When Wolverine is telling Xavier about his road rage incident, his jeep is missing its windshield. (00:03:20)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
