So yeah a line said by Andy in response to Shen about the Taipei 101 still having its gunpowder sounded funny but I translated it faithfully. At first I thought maybe Andy had his memories scrambled too, but it seems it was a mistake that'll be corrected in the tankobons lol

Also, Fukuzawa Yukichi is the person on the 10,000 yen note if context from the dialogue didn't make that clear. He's an entrepreneur during the Meiji era that was famous for introducing ideas of the West to Japan after the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate.
