But I did notice that the names of the Japanese AGS personnel including Kariya and Haruki are spelled as katakana and not in kanji/kanji and hiragana mix.
Hmm... Even Oguma Sr.'s name is in katakana, I'm using him as a benchmark since he's the oldest character (presumably). That could be quite significant. After all, we don't know where exactly Viper's Creed is set. Divercity (a play on Diversity City I expect) could be anywhere at all. Though I suspect it was built over the ruins of old Tokyo, like in many other post-apocalyptic anime.

The katakana might mean that globalisation has caused the decline of the Japanese/Chinese language to being purely phonetically structured.
