In the latest release,
This is not definite. Like most Asian languages, translation comes down to interpretation and all translations should be taken with caution.
Anyway, the relevant part of the raws read "それを己に封印した" which could be interpreted as "we sealed it in ourselves" or to a lesser extent, "sealed into myself". The latter because the whole page up to that point is speaking in a suggestive-plural form.
With Viz, the main aim to give a product which sits comfortably with the American audience and so the head translator for each manga, along with their freelance subordinates must make alterations that can inevitably, deviate accuracy, but in return, you get a translation which is more grammatically correct and boasts more easily-digestible paraphrasing. Accuracy is often not the problem as Viz manages a good balance between all aspects.
The niggle with this translation is in the fact that it's picked the less likely translation, although the reasoning for the choice is perfectly feasible, just as much as the other translations.
So, just a heads up for you guys to keep your options open until the story unravels more.
