The translation of “no-life king” strikes me as rather unnatural and overly literal. Wouldn’t “undead king” be a better translation, or is there a pun at play I’m missing here?
I have seen No-Life King & Undead King being used a few times in translation and both seem to suggest different things.

Undead King is usually used for higher level zombie monsters.

No-Life King is usually used for higher level Skeleton monsters, specifically those more inclined towards Magic.

Also, No-Life King's are usually more powerful than Undead King's. Sometimes No-Life King is shown as a higher evolution of Undead King.

Final point is, the translation "No-Life King" is a direct translation (not literal), because the author used Katakana to write the English word, aka., no Kanji or Hiragana was used.

When in doubt, magical cannon. Of the Inverse/Kirisame/Takamachi school of problem solving.

At some point it would be nice to see a vampire faction that doesn't have that exact sense of fashion.

"Lord Mosquita."
Such a grand name for a vampire. It's up there with "Ankle Biter".

"If we hijack this army..."
When the prerequisite is harder than the actual plan.

Mosquito got squished.

There's no way that girl's name is actually Son Goku, right?
Technically, it's should be "Songoku-chan (ソンゴクちゃん)" as a single word.

Just to be clear, Goku's full name Japanese was "Son Gokuu ( 孫悟空 / そんごくう )".
Aka., his surname was "Son", while his name was "Gokuu"
Btw, her full name is Songokufon. Based on the raw, I think it should have been one word.
