Iowa's English is even more gratuitous than another shipfu we all know and probably not all will love. Most of the translated lines on this page were (probably) purposefully written so as to be the most consistent in terms of meaning with the original while retaining the non-Japanese words, which as you can see may or may not come out right.

I get that being Japanese the devs and scriptwriters themselves are not really, you know, "proficient" (for lack of a better word) at English, but if they are trying to insert an English-speaking character into their game, just "gratuitous" level of proficiency is not enough.

If anything it kinda chimes the same way as an Engish speaker inserting random Japanese/Chinese words into their sentences to try and be cool but ended up stepping into stereotype territory and as a result accidentally offending every single native user of those languages they converse with. (well that was a mouthful)
