The problem is that "something" was just how the translators chose to translate it. I doubt it sounded the same way in the original.

Some Japanese phrases just can't be translated 100% the same because they have no fully accurate equivalent in english.

Just take "Nakama" as an example. It's not really friends and not really comrades, but something with a bit of both mixed together. More than a college but not quite a friend yet. It's a word for which we have no true equivalent, which is why some translators just let it stand instead of using either friend or comrade, since choosing one word over the other would lose meaning.

And there are many similar examples. That's why I wouldn't put too much stock in the translated texts.
