Mistranslations

Tokyopop mistranslated the Long Arm class as "Pole Arms" in AI Buster. Although this is an acceptable translation, it was later changed to Long Arm in AI Buster 2, although one instance in AI Buster 2 has one referred to as a Pole Arm.

Trivia

Long Arms are also the official class of the Cobalt Knights; both of the group's leaders as well as a majority of the members are Long Arms.
