Trivia
In the English version, Yuma's catchphrase "Kattobingu " has been changed to "I'm Gonna Jet!!", rather than "Feeling The Flow" like in the anime.
This is the first manga since the original to retain the characters' Japanese name in the English edition, rather than change them to match the names used in the 4Kids Entertainment anime dub.
