Synopsis	In the original Japanese edition of this book, Cobra has his Psycho-gun on his left arm, but in the Viz Select English version Cobra fires from his right. Reason being: Japanese manga is read from right to left, the opposite of how English is read. For the story to be read properly, the character had to be "flipped."
