what does the new entry say in Jiminy’s Memo?
on 07 May 2007 at 5:24 am 2. TheWertle
when i say clear episodes except for Olympus, you still have to clear the normal episodes, just not necessarily the tournament matches
on 07 May 2007 at 10:14 am 3. hayner
honestly. i think sora looks dorky with the crown.
*rants on*
btw, A thousand thanks to TheWertle and the guy who did the grammar stuff

Yes, I was wondering exactly what “A-H” meant but I thought that might be it lol. Thanks again TheWertle.
I also found on the internet that “Mitasareru” means “fills” or “full”, so I can understand the connection with “brimming”. I thought it could be “Filling Crystal” but that didn’t sound too likely either, so I just made it “Full Crystal”.
