Never really caught my attention before since she wasn't a notable character when I first read through that bit.
In Clarice's debriefing, the fan translation says that number 9 should be replaced with number 7 (in reference to allocation in the northern region), while Viz says number 9 should be promoted to number 7. Minor difference in detail, I suppose.
Lunee - Translated as Renée. I rather like Renée better; Lunee never really made sense to me.

Yes, most unfortunate translations...
Don't know why they decided to call Yuma a horse (uma = horse in japanese). Needless to say, that is not her name.
The No 9 to No 7 thing says: "But number 9 to number 7..." (japanese love dropping 'obvious' verbs) and continues to "and increase the total battle power of the others". I think 'replace' makes more sense than promote personally.
Renee is absurd, but that's life. It's ルネ (RU/LU - NE).
