(Note: this one is a little awkward to translate! Cater, Leona, Jade, Vil, Rook, Jamil, Ruggie, Malleus and Rollo are the only ones with personal pronounces (I/me/you/my) in their incantations. With phrases like Epel’s we can tell he probably means “you” even though he isn’t actually saying it because of the verb forms he uses, but phrases like Silver’s and Lilia’s are more difficult: they could technically be talking about anyone! Does Lilia mean “Wherever I go” or “Wherever you go”? We don’t know! Aniplex USA tends to solve these grammatical hurdles by guessing, which sometimes makes sense (re: Silver) but not always (re: EN’s subject pronoun mistakes).)
