I'd have to play the Japanese version to be sure, but gently caress-ups like 'Lord Apsu' and that one conversation making no sense make me think the translator just translated it as they played, and then never bothered going back and editing it. That was surprisingly common in old fantranslations.

there's actually a point in the game where you can tell someone else took over the script because they start using different terms for everything and it stays that way until the end

You guys, I'm going to get to some of this. I'm just saving it for when every goddamn one of these villains show up as bosses.

I'm not gonna be a spoiler nazi or anything just... y'know. Hold your horses a bit with megaposts.

I've got one on this game's hosed-up continuity locked and ready to go

There it is. This game allegedly takes place between S and SuperS but in reality the continuity is total nonsense. Like almost all of the game is based on the anime. The character designs, character personalities, monsters, and events mentioned later on all match up 100% with the cartoon version of the storyline. Then, suddenly, you've got this poo poo with the four kings that only came up in the manga, and the box which as far as I can recall is just full on made up but the game acts like has been there all along. How? Why? Only Angel knows for sure and they're almost definitely dead as hell by now.

also yeah ABS always be super

well the only other country the government that controls Canada in IBO has is Russia and gently caress that

If I understand the Japanese text correctly, this is what's actually going on in that scene: Ishtar actually says the opposite: "How did you know I was here?". Venus tries to play it cool but screws up a figure of speech, as she does. My very elegant and professional translation of what she says is "Ha! You must think I'm blind as a bird!", to which Ishtar of course says, "You mean a bat?", and then she sees the stupid rock, and then they fight.

I thought it was weird she didn't screw up any figures of speech in this chapter but that would require the translation to be semi-coherent

Yeah sure, talk down the mad scientist

Also the "corpse room" is Hotaru's play room when she's Mistress 9-ing out in the original anime. They're actually all life-sized dolls.

Crazy dead. Infinity ends with the entire Tomoe clan as corpses, but time/space revives Hotaru as a baby for Neptune/Uranus to raise.

which doesn't make any sense since in the anime this game's supposed to be following, Tomoe's fine at the end

"The Messiah shoots an arrow" is probably accurate since according to Sailor Moon S Usagi is the Messiah.

fun fact: demon apsu's actual name is God of Destruction Apsu

also her ultimate attack is hilariously mistranslated but I'll leave that for scoob to bring up if they want to
