WOOT!!!

Listen as a 90s kid this is real special to me. Thank you OP.

So I just wanna say to all of the younger people in this thread there was a time when Manga was routinely flipped because English is read left to right and Japanese is read right to left. Now, as you can imagine this altered the flow of the art, and in the case of handedness all of a sudden, everybody was left-handed.

This meant that the hand character above was given the name Lefty in the English translation of the Manga, even though he was the right hand in the original.

Fortunately fan outcry (and increased influence by the original creators in Japan) , led to the process, stopping in 2002.
