Say "Dragon Quest VI Is Best" Or Die!

A Japanese student has been thrown into jail after police learned that he allegedly threatened his friend's life during an argument about which Dragon Quest title was the best of all time.

Was this a case of a fan gone too fanatical, or a standard "I'll PK j00 IRL LOL" taunt between friends taken way out of context by overzealous authorities?

Advice for the paranoid: be careful with the smacktalk or something might get lost in translation between
l33t and English.
