| Official FIFA Three-Letter Designations: | |||
|
AUS - Australia
BRA - Brazil CAN - Canada CHN - China |
DEN - Denmark
GER - Germany GHA - Ghana ITA - Italy |
JAP - Japan
DPK - DPR Korea MEX - Mexico NGA - Nigeria |
NOR - Norway
RUS - Russia SWE - Sweden USA - United States |
but okay, if FIFA changed it I'll too; I'll use JPN or JP next time.
I'm Chinese and I've been called many things in USA; the one thing I'm sure I'm not is a "name caller", but "name called".

First, before asking a question, do not use derogatory language against the Japanese. Although I'm not Japanese, I do take offense to the term 'jap'.
I believe VIZ translated up until/if not including the Ramba Ral arc, which would be Volumes 1-6 in Japan. Each book in the US covers roughly two chapters per magazine if I remember correctly (I'm not sure if some varied or not).--Deacon Blues
