Episode Notes |

Japanese Title:「東の天使 西の鷹」-「Higashi no Tenshi, Nishi no Taka」
FUNimation translates the title as「EASTERN ANGEL, WESTERN HAWK」
| FUNimation's English voice artists speaking in a Texan accent in the next three episodes is not used just because the companies headquarters are in Forth Worth, Texas. They speak with a drawl because of the fact that the episode takes place in Ōsaka, which has a distinct accent from that of Tōkyō. Known as Kansai-ben, 関西弁, the accent is much more drawn out than that of their eastern neighbours in Tōkyō.
| On the English dub, the terrorist on the phone says that he will destroy the entire Hanshin police force. Hanshin, writtten in kanji as 阪神, is the name for the Ōsaka-Kōbe Metropolitan area with 阪 being the last kanji in Ōsaka, 大阪, and 神 being the first kanji in Kōbe, 神戸.
| Jo's Gun Permit card has kanji at the bottom of it: 合法の限り無期限有効. In Japanese, it says Gōhō no Kagiri Mukigen Yūkō; in English, it says Valid with no Legal Time Period Restrictions.
| The sign on the restaurant that Jo is eating at, ホルモンうどんめし, says Hormone Udon Meshi. Hormone is the name of the place, "udon" (also 饂飩) is a thick noodle, and "meshi" (also 飯) means "cooked food".
| Japanese on the Ōsaka Dome's Mega Screen:
- 激闘ツフルスロットル！！ (Gekitō to Full Throttle!!) - To the Full Throttle Fierce Battle!!
- 急げツバトルステージヘ！！ (Isoge to Battle Stage e!!) - Hurry to the Battle Stage!!
| Kanji Near Damaged Train where the Creature Faces Jo: 立入禁止 (Tachi'iri Kinshi) - Keep Out.
| Takane's given name, spelled in kanji as 鷹音, means "sound of a hawk". Her family name Katsu, 勝, "win" or "prevail".

Episode Goofs |
| |
The sign on the building near the taxi-stand is written in kanji as 大大阪駅. The Latin letters below it, DAIO-SAKA EKI, put the hyphen in the incorrect place. The city's name is Ōsaka so the hyphen should go after the 'i' in 'Dai'. Dai-Ōsaka Eki means Greater Ōsaka Station.
| Japanese Word Mispronounced
The English voice artists who mention the Hanshin Police Force will pronounce Hanshin incorrectly, pronouncing the 'i' short instead of like a double 'e', which is how the stand alone 'i' in Japanese always sounds. They will continue to do this in the next two episodes.
| Japanese Name Mispronounced:
Every English voice artist that says Takane's name mispronounces it, adding a pause on the first 'a' in 'Takane'. Unless the character's name is spelled, with Latin characters, Taakane or Takkane, no pause is required. The English cast will continue to pronounce her name incorrectly in the next two episodes.
