VA Predictions/Discussion Thread (Possible Manga Spoilers)

[BloodPact725]

I tried searching the forums and could not find anything related to this, so I'm going to go ahead and start one.

I'd like to discuss who may be selected to play characters currently in the manga who have yet to make their debuts in the anime. Please try not to discuss anything about the manga other than the characters and who you think would be a good fit for them.

I'll start by discussing who I would like to see as the voice of Kaido in the upcoming episodes when he is sure to make his debut. My hope is that they will get Norio Wakamoto to voice him. Wakamoto does have OP credentials having done the role of Ganzack in the OP OVA. Other roles he is known for include Johnny from the Guilty Gear video game series, Father Alexander Andersen from Hellsing Ultimate, Vicious from Cowboy Bebop, Cell from Dragon Ball Z, M Bison from Street Fighter IV, among many others. I think he would be a great fit for Kaido since what we've seen of the character lately, he has a lot of mood swings, which Wakamoto is able to compensate for. Here's hoping maybe I get my wish.

So go ahead and discuss or predict which VA's you think will voice upcoming characters.

[BellisarioFaith]

Well, I don't think I watch enough series and know enough VAs to make actual predictions…but I will say that I can't wait to hear what the Minks sound like, especially Dogstorm, Catviper, Carrot, and Wanda. Really looking forward to when the anime reaches Zou, even though I also kind of hope that they'll put some filler in between Dressrosa and Zou so that Zou can have good pacing.

ANN has the announcement, Tessho Genda has been cast as Kaido.

Wonder who jack will be and what the bloodthirsty / dummy ratio will be?

I'm sure a couple of these roles will be revealed on the official site soon and be completely different from this, but heck, I figured I'd take a stab at this, so here're my upcoming seiyuu choices:

! * Raizo - Keiji Fujiwara

• Pedro - Hiroki Tochi
• Carrot - Chiwa Saito (Sandersonia)
• Charlotte Purin - Satomi Sato
• Jaji - Takaya Hashi
• Reiju - Miyuki Sawashiro
• "Ichiji" - Tomokazu Sugita if they decide to give him a low voice, Tetsuya Kakihara if high
• "Niji" - Wataru Hatano
• Yonji - Yuuichi Nakamura

[Ruin]

I'm def on the sawashiro train for Reiju. But I'd rather Aoi Yuuki as Carrot

They took the Majin Buu jokes seriously.

[Long John Silvers Rayleigh]

@Crossword:

Well at least its japanese majin buu, the dub one was far more irritating

[Vermouth]

I believe Norio Wakamoto will voice Jaaji. And Reijuu and Yonji will have Miki Ito and Tetsuya Kakihara voices.

Wanda (Voice actor: Fumiko Orikasa)

Rukia/Riza Hawkeye/Miss Valentine? :D

[Lumia]

After getting Ichigo into One Piece (Masakazu Morita) we're getting Rukia into it! I'm sooo happy, i love Fumiko Orikasa :D

[MetaMario]

@Lumia:

She voiced Miss Valentine before Wanda tho :)

There's a lot of Bleach actors in One Piece, actually. Junko Noda (Tatsuki) is Tashigi, Nobuyuki Hiyama (Ikkaku) is Mr.3, Shigeru Chiba (Don Kanonji) is Buggy, Daisuke Namikawa (Ulquiorra) is Kidd, Junichi Suwabe (Grimmjow) is Vergo, Fumihiko Tachiki (Kenpachi) is Akainu and Krieg, Ryotaro Okiayu (Byakuya) is Kaku, etc.

The more you know~

[Crossword]

One Piece has such a massive cast that it's pretty much the anime version of Six Degrees With Kevin Bacon.

[Lumia]

Yeah I knew about all that! I just forgot about Miss Valentine ! And I still find it very awkward that Namikawa Daisuke can voice a pretty calm character (Ulquiorra) compared to… well a big rookie as Kidd !

Wanda (Voice actor: Fumiko Orikasa)
Carrot (Voice Actor: Kanae Itō)
Pedro (Voice actor: Shin-ichiro Miki)

Shin-ichiro Miki

!

Kanae Itō

!

@MetaMario:

Rukia/Riza Hawkeye/Miss Valentine? :D

Fumiko Orikasa

!

These selections seem to be really good.

Add Shin-ichiro Miki from the Bleach squad (Urahara) is Pedro.

[Kaido King of the Beasts]

Does anyone know who voiced Bariete in today's episode?

[Vermouth]

Takaya Hashi will voice Inuarashi.

I think it's time to do predictions for the voices of the characters from the next arc.

[Crossword]

I got bored on the subway the other day, so I decided to take another stab at this with some of the newer characters. I doubt any of these will come to pass, but who knows?

! * Cracker - Seiji Sasaki (fake), Tetsu Shiratori (real)

• Smoothie - Mitsuki Saiga
• Mont d'Or - Koichi Tochika
• Perospero - Yutaka Aoyama
• Chiffron - Aya Hisakawa (same as Lola's)

! And some changes:
! * Pudding - Mai Nakahara

• Judge - Kiyoyuki Yanada (now that my first choice is voicing Inuarashi instead)
• Ichiji - Mamoru Miyano

[Brainyz]

It seems Tomokazu Sugita will voice Katakuri

! inb4 "your next line is"

[Crossword]

Was it ever going to be anyone else?

[Long John Silvers Rayleigh]

@Crossword:

Is this the most serious role he has I know JoJo was very cheery, brash and upbeat. Any of his serious work you can refer me to.

He voiced Over in Bo-bobo.

FUCK

YES

HOLY SHIT SUGITA IS FINALLY IN ONE PIECE. OH HOW MUCH I HAVE LONGED FOR THIS DAY. Man, this means this is an arc that have both Sawashiro AND Sugita at the same time.

[ScotchInformer]

[All Fiction]

Someone please translate what Sugita said there.

[imperioonepiece]

@All:

I put all my effort in Katakuri's role to say all that he wanted to say. I have no interest in knowing if it is transmitted (to the audience). But I'm sure it will be transmitted.

Thank you.

Hmmm, is it correct to interpret Sugita's comment as that he is not really that interested in the role?

[imperioonepiece]

@All:

I don't think so, I think it could be interpreted as he's so sure that he did a really good job.

[Crossword]

Yeah I can't imagine they'd print him saying, "This role was kinda meh."

[Kurloz]

@Long:

He has lots of roles where he uses a normal or deadpan voice like Chrom/Kyoani MCs/that dude from K/that dude from Honey and Clover but his roles in Highschool Boys and Gintama have more meme-able scenes so they're what most people remember.
