This isn't exactly relevent to this game, but can someone please link or provide me with the source that said about origin of deviants( special monster individuals that have 'survived previous hunter encounters' and have taken on new traits and abilities ) in japanese?

I was visited by my friend that knows japanese(he passed N1 test and lived in japan for quite some time) and we ended up getting in a heated argument. He said that he never found any exact line that said that and was really adamant that the line was a mistranslation.

While normally I don't doubt this wiki. If this somehow actually is a mistranslation, than it's a pretty big deal(It's only a piece of lore but still) since it has been spread quite far.

Sorry if that somehow comes off as insulting to the staff. But I really wish to clear up this confusion.
