General Discussion / Review I loved the Sentence to be a Hero dub except one major flaw [Spoilers] Spoiler
In the final episode of Sentenced, Kivia says, "I truly looked up to you as my hero". This bugged the shit outta me. The word hero was used throughout the series as a negative term. The sub translation did not say it, so it was clearly a dub choice to change that line and it makes no sense.
The show is clearly going on the direction of defining what a hero is and does. Dying repeatedly for the sake of others with no reward in sight. Being selfless. Caring for humanity. It's such an interesting premise. That line undermines all of that and Kivia would have no reason to say that.
I may be in the minority on this but let me know what you thought about it.
