Oh, were you not on Discord when it happened?

The way the subtitles worded the interaction during the turn where Duel Jaeger did his thing mentioned something along the lines of the attack not being able to be countered. Now, this was actually referring to how Overturn can't be countered, but it did cause some confusion before translations started rolling through.

Also, you have to keep in mind that "The translations given here are not yet official." is a relative phrase and doesn't necessarily reflect the accuracy of the translations. There are multiple occasions where the unofficial translations have proven more accurate than Bushiroad's initial translations. The phrase is simply a safety measure stating in essence that we don't have the final wording. Word order and such. To make the point that an unofficial translation means that the translations from sources like Ryuusei or Buddyspoiler cannot get the translation correct (or get close to how Bushiroad would translate it) is an insult to their knowledge of the Japanese language.

It is true that this is not the final wording. However, tell me: where is "英雄" in the Overkill text? And where is the "《 》" that indicate an attribute? I have little to no knowledge of the Japanese language, and it is fairly obvious even to me that it is not there.

The point about how the Japanese text may sometimes get it wrong in their initial debuts (Death Gauge Timer comes to mind) is a good point. However, for both the Corocoro release and the anime to get the Overkill text wrong is, as far as I am aware, an event that has no precedence currently in Buddyfight. The likelihood of both being wrong, to me, is extremely low. Those two in conjunction tip the scales against the subtitles — a source that has erred before, as mentioned previously.
