The word “RESCUE” on that helicopter is in mirror writing. Why?
In the Japanese Akira release, it’s not. The reason for this slight mistake is the standard method to convert mangas for western releases. As manga are originally to be read from behind and from right to left, they use a simple trick to convert them: they just mirror the pages. The text in the balloons is being replaced anyway so it doesn’t matter. The pages which can be read in either way needn’t to be mirrored but in this special case it couldn’t be avoided. You can blame the helicopter pilot for this; he wanted to appear on this double page (and to say something). BTW this happens some more times near the end.
