Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what versions of everything you've grabbed, but Midnight Crew Subs originally did Kuuga years and years ago at this point, (which, fun fact, was apparently a big event considering so many fansubbers' attempts at Kuuga stalled out in the teens it was called the "Kuuga Curse" for a while), and more recently they've started a retranslated version using the Blu-Ray releases, which is only about 30 episodes done, unfortunately.

I don't know these details off the top of my head, so somebody more in the know correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the original versions might've even been straight up "scrubs" of some bootleg subtitles, meaning they would've been translating a fundamentally poor translation into English with minimal if any understanding of the original Japanese dialogue, which would explain a lot of the extremely baffling mistakes. Mika never said anything about Ichijou not needing a laughing face! I don't even know what that means!
