Guilty Gear X Drama CD
A bunch of the cast have a big fight over some Old War Technology (black tech).There are significant errors in Ed Chang's translation (& possibly in Aegis High's & Volcanic's, which worked off of Chang's text), the biggest of which is the infamous "Johnny Sfondi" last name mistranslation. Cross-reference information presented in these texts with more recent confirmed canon before using it as a source or citation. The errors weren't made in bad faith and are just honest mistakes.Volume 1, English
