Roxas' translation error in KH2

[awesomeinmyworld 268]

We all know that Roxas asked Sora: "Tell me why he picked you", and that "he" was supposed to be "it", referring to the Keyblade. The funny thing about that line now is since 3D's reveal of MX plan concerning the Organization, the mistranslation actually has somewhat relevance. "He" refers to Xehanort. Of course there is the obvious "Roxas didn't know about Xemnas' true plans of the Organization", but I find it funny how now the line and its mix up is now relevant to the overall plot.

Woah... I did not think about that. I need to see that cutscene again!

*Tetsuya Nomura, brother.

Sorry I try not to be a grammar freak, but when it comes to my favorite people I cannot help myself.

The line was passive voice in the original Japanese, the most literal translation would be "tell me why you were chosen" (it's supposed to be a bit ambiguous). Stop spreading the "it" rumour around.

I was pretty sure "he" refered to Axel. And the original translation wasn't even "it"

[Kaweebo 3,617]

There's always been the theory that he meant Axel. That Axel 'betrayed' Roxas towards the end of 358, but gave his life for Sora. It's kind of flimsy, but it sort of fits as well.

I thought it was Riku...

[Fierce Deity Link 925]

I thought "he" was Terra, because Roxas asked, and then flew up and saw Riku on the Dive to the Heart or whatever, and seeing how the Keyblade moved down to Sora, he said "Oh, that's why" or something. Been forever since I've played it though so I'm probably horribly wrong.

Very involved with my studies, and other interests. How are you?

I thought it was DIZ because Diz was willing to trust Sora to fight the organization and gave up Roxas in the process even though Roxas was planning on overthrowing the organization by himself

If I remember correctly, "it" doesn't exist in Japanese.

he is talking about axel,i know it sounds odd but its axel .he said why he chose to sacrifice himself for Sora and not make him a heartless again so Roxas can be brought back

[『R』 570]

I thought "he" was Ven. Remember in BBS Ven came into Sora's heart.....
