In that file, when Agasa asked Ai about her parents, Ai replied, "My parents were with the syndicate. They died in an 'accident' when I was young."
I took issue with the quote marks around "accident;" some reading may interpret that their parents died of foul play, which does not seem very likely.

I don't think it takes away from the story, but at the same time I do understand where it might confuse someone new to the series. |

I'm not translation bashing; Viz' translation is generally accurate. (Nyarl concurred.) My post is only for that single point, Ryu; please don't be mislead my intentions.

That translation was my first encounter with Ai, but I didn't even notice the quotations...
I guess I'm just not observant
