Goofs
- When Buffaloman arrives in the room with his weakness, his hands are flesh colored instead of red. It occurs again as the Seigi Choujins are leaving Rikishiman to fight Hydra Sumo.
- After the scene where Rikishiman throws salt at the Kakure Choujins, some of the salt on Hydra King is colored pink. This may have occurred because Hydra Būton, whose skin is pink, was right next to him at the time.
- Geronimo knows the name of his opponent, Hydra Indy, without the character ever being introduced or mentioned prior to their fight. However, this may have been done intentionally so the viewers would know the characters name.
- At one point during Kinnikuman's fight with Hydra King, the inside of Nachiguron's mouth is colored blue instead of red.
