Por el momento, en esta página pondré lo que falta por traducir del original en inglés. Aproveché para poner varias traducciones que se me ocurrieron, pero todavía faltan algunas.

- Born Winner
- Bound and Gagged - Kyohei, but more to the point, Meg.
- Butt-Monkey - Kyohei

- Chained Heat - Jo does this to herself and Kyohei when she takes him hostage to try to trade him for a yet-again-kidnapped Meg.

- Gainaxing
- Gangsta Style - Jo really ought to know better. Though she only used it when she was just threatening someone.

- Improbable Aiming Skills
- Law Enforcement, Inc. - RAPT

- Red Eyes, Take Warning - Jo
