Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11

Plot hole: Changes made in the anime only make nonsensical the mechanics of the fight against Black Pegasus. The villain focuses on dealing one big hit to the side of the hero at the cost of his life, but that big hit happens just in the anime and has no consequence or purpose at all. Seiya collapses later with various black spots from the hits of the first barrage, the one that he thought gave him no damage and went instead under the armor, just like in the manga. Black Pegasus had already dealt his death blow by that time, and what he does in the anime in addition to that has no consequence or meaning.

Continuity mistake: The black spots on Seiya's body change size throughout the whole scene. (00:16:30)

Other mistake: Seiya is wearing the bells on his wrist. The Cloth flies back to him, and magically he's wearing the bells over the armor's gauntlet in the next shot. (00:06:10)

Character mistake: Kiki says "Oh! He stopped bleeding" when he is in fact still bleeding from the other wrist. (00:10:35)

Stupidity: The 'repairing the cloth' scene does not make any sense as presented. Shiryu cuts his wrists and just pours blood on the armors spilling it before he reaches them (one just assumes that Mu told him off-screen that he needed to bleed all over the armors and not collect it, would have been pretty awkward if he died hemorrhaging before Mu could fetch a bowl), and he keeps saying that he just needs to repair Seiya's armor. Since Mu says that he needs half of Shiryu's blood to repair BOTH armors and he'll die if he loses a third, Shiryu could repair Seiya's armor and go fight armorless - which he always does anyway, he's arguably stronger without it - giving just 1/4 of his blood, instead of dying leaving Seiya on his own. No need to expect a character from a 'shonen' to act logically, but simply a throwaway line saying that he needed to repair his own armor out of duty to his stars or something similar, would have been enough.

Other mistake: As they are making their way to the designated place, Tatsumi and Saori explain the lovely place called "Murder Valley" is not on any chart, and the locals keep away from it because everything in it dies. They reach it by helidrop and surfing on glaciers. When they are there - in the middle of a wasteland that pumps out sulphur - Ikki is more precise about the spot where they need to meet; the "Shishigabana stone." Seiya and Hyoga wonder where that is, to which Shun simply says "It's a famous stone in the Amidagahara Wetlands [...], my parents took me to that location a very long time ago." It's Midagahara, and if the location is so close to a place familiar to Shun, you'd think he would at least say something. Moreover, it's clear from the rest of the series and manga that Shun is never supposed to have parents who took him hiking - even irresponsible ones who'd carry him near death pits. (00:04:20)

Continuity mistake: Seen from behind, Hyoga is holding two pieces of the Gold Cloth when Ikki's disembodied voice taunts the party. (00:04:20)

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Kiki in the first shot (panning from below) is sitting or kneeling without his legs visible, and is crouched in the next, but when he looks at the light radiating from the boulders, he's sitting on the parapet, his legs dangling. (00:16:00)

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Falling back after playing rock'em sock'em with the two skeletons, Shiryu's mouth is not bloodied, then bloodied all of a sudden. (00:14:00)

Sammo ★

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Other mistake: When Shiryu faces the two skeletons stacked on top of each other, their armor is purple in one shot, while only one skeleton wore that insignia. (00:13:50)

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Other mistake: Shiryu is talking with the floating skulls. He turns around angrily asking "What do you want from me?" The straps of the Pegasus armor box are miscolored, not blue but like the rest of the box. (00:11:25)

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The distance of the two boxed Cloths, and whether they rest on even ground or a rock, changes throughout the conversation Shiryu has with his master. (00:05:00)

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The writing on Seiya's house changes position repeatedly; in the longshot the number is below the level of the pitched roof, while then they are closer, it is higher. Same for the letters of "HOUSE" above Seiya's windows.

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Saori shows the letter to Seiya; the splotches of blood look different between close-up and wider shots. (00:03:20)

Ayaushi shiryu! Cloth no hakaba - S1-E10

Stupidity: Saori blushes when Seiya opens the door shirtless...but she's seen him shirtless practically all her life, the boys kept training and fighting all the time. He even fought shirtless for the last part of his duel with Shyriu just the day before.

The Sixth Position - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: When Higgins rolls over the man that got shot in the struggle, the 'dead' person raises his evidently not-so-dead-yet right leg to avoid rolling back to the side. (00:25:00)

The Sixth Position - S2-E10

Stupidity: Magnum is well aware that the person who randomly dropped from the tree to get his attention (!) is all a ruse, but he just leaves Kendall alone to go check him out, thinking to himself through interior monologue that "walking into the trap may keep Kendall out of it." The guy is playing possum face down on the lawn, far off in the distance. How would THAT guy be a more immediate threat to the woman you are bodyguarding, than just telling her "go ahead on your own through the trees"? Who reasons like that, with obviously more people lurking, since the first is merely a diversion? How do the bad guys even think that this could work? And yet, it does. (00:23:20)

Sammo ★

The Sixth Position - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Magnum hangs up the phone and runs out of the guest house to heed Higgins' call and find the lawn swarming with ballerinas. As he comes out of the door, you can get a glimpse of the actual interior, which does not match the set used throughout the series. (00:06:00)

Sammo ★

The Sixth Position - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: A very sweaty Kendall is about to tell Magnum about the correspondent. She goes to the barre to fetch her robe; the robe is folded over it in a different position compared to how it looked in the previous part of the scene; the sleeves hang down by a completely different length. (00:30:55)

Sammo ★

The Sixth Position - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: Characteristic set lights are reflected on the car windows when Kendall drives off in the last minutes of the episode. (00:46:15)
