"o-nii-chan" is a great example of translation difficulty because it's very natural in Japanese to refer to your older brother as "o-nii-chan" and it sounds like bad exposition writing in English.
"Brother" seems to be coming into it because Rydia is addressing Edward as "o-nii-chan". Pretty classic example of something that you couldn't translate accurately without knowing who the characters are.
