There are many occasions in which a card, in the anime, may contradict its lore in the anime. These are usually due to errors on the writers' part.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL

 * Number 25: Force Focus - Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. When your opponent activates an Effect Monster's effect: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target that monster; negate that target's effect(s) this turn. When this card battles with an opponent's monster, you may detach one Xyz Material from this card. If you do, the monster that this card is battling has its effects negated this turn.
 * Reason for contradiction: This card was able to negate the effect of "Gogogo Golem" which is a Continuous Effect in both the anime and the real card game. This card's effect was also hinted in the anime to be able to negate the effect of "Number 39: Utopia".
 * Photon World - When a "Photon" monster is Normal or Special Summoned: You can inflict damage to all players that do not control a "Photon" monster equal to the Summoned monster's Level × 100.
 * Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's written anime lore, this card's effect did not activate when "Photon Caesar" was summoned.


 * Heroic Challenger - War Hammer - When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Destroy all Equip Cards equipped to this card, then you can equip the destroyed monster to this card as an Equip Card. This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of a monster equipped to it.
 * Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's written anime lore, Nistro was able to Special Summon this card during the Duel Coaster part of the World Duel Carnival finals.

● Until the End Phase of this turn, if this card battles one of your opponent's monsters, that monster's ATK becomes 0 and this card's ATK becomes that monster's original ATK. ● Until the End Phase of this turn, negate the effects of 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls and this card gains that monster's effects. ● When an opponent's monster declares an attack, that monster's name becomes "Unknown" and this card gains that monster's original name.
 * Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage - Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then activate 1 of these effects.
 * Reason for contradiction: One of the written effects that can be selected for the second effect of "Heraldic King Genom-Heritage" would not have helped Vetrix in destroying "Number 9: Dyson Sphere" as he explicitly stated during his Duel against Kite that this effect negates the effects of "Dyson Sphere" and grants "Genom-Heritage" those effects until the End Phase.


 * Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction - Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. During your Standby Phase: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card or take 2000 damage. While this card has no Xyz Materials, it cannot attack. When this card is targeted for an attack, while it has no Xyz Material: Destroy this card. When this card is destroyed: Take 2000 damage.
 * Reason for contradiction: Despite that the anime card and the real card forbids the player from Special Summoning monsters, Vetrix was able to summon Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage while this card was face-up.


 * Number 17: Leviathan Dragon - Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card permanently gain 500 ATK (All ATK gains this card receives from this effect remain even if this card's effects are negated).
 * Reason for contradiction: Though this card gained ATK through its own effect during Yuma's Duel against Vetrix, this card didn't lose the ATK gain when "Number 69: Heraldry Crest" negated the effects of Yuma's monsters.


 * Dotedotengu - When this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 card either player controls; return it to the hand.
 * Reason for contradiction: Despite this card's written anime lore, Yuma Tsukumo used this card to return a card controlled by Devon Knox.


 * Gagaga Girl - When this card is used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon with another "Gagaga" monster: You can reduce the original ATK of 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls to 0.
 * Reason for contradiction: After this card's effect activated and reduced the ATK of "CXyz Simon the Great Moral Leader" to 0, the effect of "Mirror Stage of Discipline" didn't respond and make the ATK of "CXyz Simon the Great Moral Leader" 3000 again.


 * Sharkify - The equipped monster is also treated as a "Shark" monster and gains 400 ATK.
 * Reason for contradiction: "Black Ray Lancer" gained 400 ATK when it was equipped with this card despite the lore of "Sharkify" saying the equipped monster gains 300 ATK.


 * Heroic Champion - Excalibur - You can only declare an attack if your Life Points are equal to or lower than 500. When this card battles: You can detach all Xyz Materials from this card; this card's current ATK is doubled, until the end of the Battle Phase.
 * Reason for contradiction: Nistro previously stated that this card's original ATK is doubled, however in Yuma's third Duel against Shark, the current ATK of this card (which was 4000) was doubled, instead of its original ATK (which was 2000).
