    Oh, I know, I've read two different direct translations of his dialog and compared it to the English, I agree completely with you. That specific encounter is terribly handled for something that is a MAJOR turning point in the story of the Warrior of Light. Listening to the Japanese audio, I can hear the voice and know the kind of character they were going for, and as I was saying despite limited understanding of spoken Japanese, I can still tell that the tone and delivery of his dialog doesn't match the English subtitles at all.
