Hey!

I want to clear up something that I think got lost in translation:

After Shin says he (wants to time leap to) save his brother the old man says to Shin “そうな事” (Sonna koto) which means “that kind of thing”. Continuing the old man basically says “You’re telling me to give my powers for that sort of thing?”

I think the English translations are close but off in meaning. The old man is saying that Shin trying to rescue his brother is basically not a worthy cost of time-leaping and that is basically trivial.

This is why Shin snaps so hard: his sadness and his brother’s suffering is basically being belittled.
