Also, "Synthesis #" is written in this format (kanji with katakana reading) too, although it's been stated that those are meant to be English words.

As me and TUSF discussed on chat, we assume that the kanji is meant to explain the meaning of the less common English words to Japanese people, while using the English words story-wise, as after the first instance only the katakana form is used.

Therefore, this is another reason to include both kanji and katakana of the words in the Nihongo.
