Tochiro Oyama English voice compare post!

Since Harlock has a voice compare in Behind the Voice Actors but Tochiro doesn't, I figured I'd compile a list of clips featuring all the English va's who have voiced him over the years.

EDIT: I decided to add his Gun Frontier dub anyhow, that manga DOES establish a lot of Tochiro's personality traits after all, so it's only fair. Plus, Derek Stephen Prince's take kinda grew on me, it's so silly and kinda cute and it also sorta reminds me of his French voice from SSX/Albator 84. I guess if I was given the choice between him and Edwin Neal for an English dub of SSX, I'd probably pick Edwin Neal. Seems a tad more fitting, but John Payne's still more an ideal pick.

Note that this does not count the Gun Frontier version of him, as I consider him a different character somewhat. A proto-Tochiro if you would, and his Japanese voice was also different from the other voices there and I think the dub reflects that voice well enough.

I think out of all of dubs, the 2009 compilation film is THE worst, overall. Tochiro's voice there is as unfitting as his voice in the ZIV dub. My favorite ended up being a tie between Edwin Neal and John Payne, though I'm leaning a tad more towards the latter. If Ocean decides to redub Arcadia of My Youth, they really should have John Payne reprise his role.
