Dragon Quest 3 creator's group skewers Elon Musk for sharing "mistranslated" video that made it seem "as if the speaker was expressing a negative opinion against a certain ideology"

It's been clarified that comments supposedly made by Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and former Shonen Jump editor Kazuhiko Torishima about certain changes implemented in the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake were mistranslated.

Earlier this week, a clip of Horii and Torishima – hosts of radio show KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku – speaking on a talk show during Tokyo Game Show was shared around on social media with unofficial English subtitles. The clip, which at the time seemed to show the pair discussing changes made to certain Dragon Quest costumes as well as the selectable appearance of the protagonist in the upcoming remake, even ended up being shared by Elon Musk, but according to a new statement posted by KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku (translated and reported on by Automaton), the translation of that viral clip wasn't accurate in the first place.
