Several notes on the backstory:

(...) istniała ich zaledwie garstka / dzięki czemu nie znały wojny[,] żyły w pokoju ("there was only a handful of them / thanks to which they didn't know war[,] lived in peace") - keeps the original meaning that they didn't know war because there were so few of them. English translations tend to treat "they were few" and "they were peaceful" as unrelated statements.

After saying that those changed using the Mask would need way more energy, which meant an increased need to kill: Istniało ryzyko, że za nowe moce przyjdzie zapłacić wymarciem wszelkiego stworzenia ("There was a risk that the new powers would have to [one day] be paid for with the extinction of all creation") - Only a vague future risk and not at all a certainty, as with the original version's uncertain だろう

A small thing that doesn't matter but I think oomf might like the phrasing: Kars's "don't you want to not fear anything" is Nie chcecie pozbyć się uczucia strachu!? ("Do you not want to get rid of the feeling of fear?"). Means the same thing, but sure sounds like Kars would really love to get rid of the emotion itself if he could.

Zamiast zginąć, geniusz zmasakrował cały swój klan... ("Instead of perishing [being killed], the genius massacred his entire clan...") - keeps the 逆に, aka that thing I never shut up about. THANK YOU.

Esidisi is not just a companion, he is a "faithful companion" (wierny towarzysz). Aww.

Joseph: when he hears the name zeppeli, has wild flashbacks of him and caesar doing the nasty

Jonathan: the gentleman that he is, politely refrains from offering him deodorant

Jolyne: they swap green lipstick recs, they're besties

immense joy
