During his second duel with Yuya, Reiji pulls this wack pose for no reason so you know i had to attempt to jojo it (partially inspired by those edits @/yugiohdilf does
Takehito Koyasu is a prolific voice actor. I found out that he voices both Dio as well as a few villains from Yu-Gi-Oh! I don’t want to infodump here but trust me, there are tarot cards and thrown knives involved.
Finally doing some catching up on JJBA: Golden Wind (some friends watched it through without me 😒) and I’m at the Ciocolatta/Secco episodes, and I didn’t think much of it in their first episode, but two episodes later I realized Secco sounded oddly familiar… especially with his “huh”s and then, lo and behold:
It’s so odd hearing Judai’s KENN outside of YGO, but when it hits
I was today years old when I learned Kiryu’s Seiyuu Yuuki Ono also voiced Josuke in JJBA and I just
(Dub version included because Marc Diraison continues to prove he’d rock as Kiryu in an uncut 5D’s redub)
Im cackling b/c this conversation came up on skype the other day and there are, a fair number of ygo voices in JJBA.
Aside from the obvious one of Takehito Koyasu doing Saiou (in GX) and Dio, we also have, Daisuke Hirakawa (Durbe from ZeXal and Kakyoin), Kensho Ono (Yuya from Arc V and Giorno), KENN (Judai from GX and Secco), Atsushi Miyauchi (Strong Ishijima from Arc V and Cioccolata). And in the games Kakyoin is voiced by Koji Yusa (Fubuki from GX)
KENSHO ONO YESSSS
I started Golden Wind a week or two ago with friends (only seen up to episode 2 so far) and I loved that Kensho’s voicing Giorno; can’t unhear Yuya lmao (also he voices the main character in Hakyu Sho[something] Engi which is on Crunchyroll and it’s this show where a manga was adapted into a super-fast-paced anime but he sounds exactly like his Yuya there haha)
I can’t wait to run into KENN with Secco there, and I have to check out Koji Yusa’s Kakyoin lol
Also did I see a thing about Takeru being Jonathan Joestar in the games
