even with MTG, there are disputes that happen because of localization and communication.
like there was one GP where the opponent and initial judge considered that the guy passed priority, but if you look at his body language on the video and are more familiar with his culture, he did not.
another high comp game, the guy said in broken english, something like "attacks?" and his opponent claimed that meant he was shortcutting to declare attackers, not attack step. it's relevant because he wouldn't be able to activate his man-land to attack with it if he had skipped to declaration. on video, he didn't tap the attackers yet... it was a miscommunication between the two in the wording and body language at a competitive event because of language barriers. fun fact... both of them were ESL.
the fact that this kid had to put this shit into google translate says he doesn't likely even know japanese for a tournament in japanese. sorry bud. language barriers are real.
