I want to give the benefit of the doubt to the team because it could have been a case of "we did not realize it would mean [this] later" since the first instance of this line would've been back with Birth by Sleep (a whole decade before KH3 came 🐽out). They likely went for consistency with the past translations over translating it more closely.

However, such things is how we end up with a bunch misunderstandings about the story or characters and their motivations that weꦉre never in the original language, such as how "there can only be one Keyblade Master" from KH1.

It's actually very surreal - I never thought an article on 'aitsu' would actually get published, let alone for꧅ our little SU project to be mentioned! This is incredible and I can't even begin to express how amazingly well you've summarized the points of the essay. Thank you so much for making this article.
