how AI covers hurt voice actors

Nothing new in this community, but the it's a good video which I hope can reach a lot of audience and maybe help one or the other to decide to stopp listening and supporting AI created content.

Also general advice, report as much of the AI covers as you can, I think that's what we owe our idols and heroes!

Good Night World Trailer

The online game "Planet" is home to a powerful team of players going by the name "The Akabane Family," with its members making up a pseudo-family that only exists in-game. Unbeknownst to the players, though, the four are actually all members of a broken, real-life family: a shut-in older brother, a high-achieving younger brother, an un-respected father, and a mother neglecting her household. In the game, The Akabane Family deals with monsters, guild clashes, and the machinations of "Black Bird," the game's final objective. "The tale takes a major turn as it entangles the real world and this real family." (Netflix)

Based on the manga by Uru Okabe, Good Night World is directed by Katsuya Kikuchi from a screenplay by Michiko Yokote. The anime stars the voice talents of Daisuke Hirose (Ichi / Taichiro Arima), Nobunaga Shimazaki (AAAAA / Asuma Arima), Akio Otsuka (Shiro / Kojiro Arima), Aya Endo (May / Miyabi Arima), Aoi Yuki (Pico), Ryohei Kimura (Leon), Hiroki Nanami (Sasumata), Kenjiro Tsuda (Shigatera), Rie Takahashi (Hana Kamuro), and Inori Minase (Aya Arima)

Good Night World hits Netflix on October 12, 2023.

❔[NAME] WIKI - ALABASTA ARC ENDS

realized i left it out of my a/n last update but, after every major arc in one piece, there will be a "[name] wiki" that will just highlight information that might have been missed/not so obviously stated about [name] as well as bonus infomration on relationships, fun facts, etc!!! anyway, enjoy this little filler update before skypiea <333

link to original fanfic where thsi wiki is based from :D

full name: [REDACTED] D. [NAME]

age: 20, departed from foosha village at 17 — it’s been three years since then

affiliations:

— [REDACTED] Pirates ERROR LOADING

— [REDACTED] ERROR LOADING

— connection with Shanks/Red Hair Pirates in some way

— [REDACTED] Pirates, temporary member, mutual gain

— Straw Hat Pirates

epithet: [REDACTED]

The Cursed Orphan

birthday: [xx/xx] ← this is your own birthday LOL

height: 6’5

there is a reason he is so tall, please trust me he is not insanely tall for no reason. like there are plot reasons as to why he built like a beanstock.

- related: i forgot that his height was lowkey a plot point (a teensy teensy tiny bit) so i forgot to mention his height until very very very very very recently in the chaptesr LMFAOOA

bounty:

— 200,000,000

— 250,000,000

japanese va: junichi suwabe … or … yuki kaji … or more like kenjiro tsuda (i cant decide unfortunately lmk in comments bc i like all of these vas a lot) 

appearance:

— has a giant tattoo expanding over his shoulders/back. they look like wings (minus the figure in the middle). they don’t look like the typical tattooed angel wings going downwards, they more-so stretch across his back and the tips end at his deltoids.

— keeps a black cloth wrapped around one of his wrists, at all times. this cloth was torn from shanks’ cloak and [name] keeps it as a safe keeping

— always is wearing a silver necklace. it’s a simple, thin chain that is almost unnoticeable, but he is never seen without it.

— has scars all over his body. they’re not battle scars. they start from his face and go all the way down to his feet. if you were to see his entire body, you would see that most of the scars are single lines that do NOT disconnect from their starting point. they run almost continuously. for example, the scarred line that starts at his face goes all the way down to his feet, without being “interrupted.” origins are unknown.

weapon: a sword that was passed down from shanks and given to him as a gift. he doesn’t know the proper name of it, but it looks like a regular katana. he has never drawn his sword in the series yet, seeing as he only reveals the blade when he is out to very seriously maim, torture, or kill his enemies. the katana radiates an intimidating aura and anyone around [name] can feel it.

standard outfit: just jeans and a t-shirt, nothing crazy goes on here LMFAO or whatever you wanna envision him to be wearing.

abilities: have not been completely revealed, but it does have something to do with water. this explains his ability to control people’s bodies, seeing as their blood and overall body mass has a high percentage of water.

— he has some control over sea water, but only for short bursts of time.

— he is not completely immune to the effects of sea water, though. if he is submerged in it for a long enough period of time <a couple of minutes>, then he will begin drowning and sinking just like a devil fruit eater would.

— did not eat a devil fruit. the origins of his powers are unknown at this time.

— skilled swordsman, source: trust me bro. but seriously, he doesn’t just swing around the sword, even though we’ve never seen him use it, he’s generally very good with weapons of all kinds — but has a specialty in blades.

— has been seen using geppo, soru, and shigan. 

favorite food: COFFEE BEANS + SEAFOOD :) cheese

fun facts:

likes: all the strawhats, animals, bitter flavors

dislikes: the world gov + navy, anyone that isn't a strawhat, anything sweet flavored

— the name the government gave him was due to how they could not find any family lineage tied to him

— considers dadan and makino as his mother figures!

— the song he is always humming is for fruits basket <333

— its not that he only drinks coffee and not anything else — like booze, its just he doesnt like the taste of booze. he can drink it, but he wont like it.

— if he were to live in the real world, he would have a job in child protective services. he cares a lot for children. plus he feels the natural instinct to be protective of those around him.

— he can tell if there is anybody nearby due to how he is able to see water concentration to a certain extent. that is why whenever he squints in the distance or at the water, he is looking for something to pop out and is expecting to see someone/something.

— is really offstandish when it comes to strangers. it takes a lot to get trust out of him, but if it’s someone that luffy or the others trust, then he’s quick to lower his guard.

— finds it really amusing whenever chopper, nami, or usopp run to hide behind him when they see any enemies. he doesn’t mind it, but still thinks its really funny whenever it happens.

— he enjoys pissing off zoro, but never brings up their past fight. to him, it was a silly thing that happened in the past so he doesn’t hold it over zoro’s head, plus he saw how much it affected the swordsman.

— hates manspreaders → has a chronic, worst case of manspreading anyone has ever seen

— has the highest debt to nami in the entire crew (somewhere in the 300-400,000)

— the tattoo over ace’s heart are words that he and ace shared with each other (”together in chaos”) when they were children (LOOOREEEE)

— wants to start working out with zoro, but due to their recent adventures hasn’t had the chance to :(

— unlike luffy, he has no qualms in killing his enemies. he wishes he were like luffy in this sense, but he is paranoid that these people will come back for him, or worse — the crew, so he eliminates them when he can.

— [name] really, really wanted vivi to come along. but he didn't verbalize it so as to not pressure her or manipulate the decision of what she herself wanted.

— whenever he wakes up from sleep, he’s in one of three odd positions: 1. luffy and him somehow end up cuddling, 2. he’s on the floor, or 3. he’s (not maliciously aka they're not actually dying.) choking either zoro or sanji with his arm.

— feels particularly protective of nami — not because she is a woman, but because he saw how sick she had gotten and was scared she would die. addtionally, he trusts her and her ability to fight, but if she requests for his help in a battle, he wouldn’t hesitate to go and help her.

— if him and sanji can't sleep at night, they go out on the deck and smoke together until one of them gets tired and they go back to bed.

— rather prideful in being strong. at the same time, he doesn’t really enjoy the nature of his abilities

— [name] had a bad history with the people on whiskey peak, which explains his hostility to them in the beginning chapters (they fooled him by giving him a lot of food, then they tried attacking him while he was sleeping, and he had to fight them.) doesn't like being lied to.

— vivi wishes she could have knighted [name] into holding a formal title as a guardian in the kingdom of alabasta, but igaram rejected the idea. her father and pell were close to agreeing, but ultimately decided that they couldn't and shouldn't seeing as [name] was too infamous for being a lethal pirate. vivi sulked about this for a while.

love language : acts of service and physical touch

— the more comfortable he is with someone, the more likely he is to crack jokes around them. it means hes relaxed and can feel comfortable being himself rather than being on edge and guarded.

— vivi often times hums the song that [name] always hummed, smiling whenever she remembers the amount of memories she had made with the crew. that song has now become her favorite despite her not knowing where it was from or if there were even words that went along with it.

— animal representation: crow

— who would he be if the strawhats were a family? the one younger cousin that keeps running around shouting about how he wants to fight/do something that requires a lot of energy from everyone else (or, cool uncle)

— he actually naturally has a very sweet scent, but since he is always brewing coffee/eating coffee beans, he masks that scent with coffee since he hates it :)

personality type : ENFP

→ characters that are ENFP: jinx (arcane/league of legends), hu tao (genshin impact), harley quinn (dc universe), and ellie (the last of us)

how would [name] describe his relationships:

with luffy: captain, dearest person in his life, partner in crime in annoying the rest of the crew, personal backpack since luffy is always climbing him

with zoro: most reliable crewmate, best first mate to luffy, good friendly competitor 1/2 strongest swordsman in the world

with nami: smartest crewmate!! admires her navigation abilities, enjoys her company when she isn't yelling bloody murder at him </3 1/3 of his priority people to protect

with usopp: fun to tease and joke around with, enjoys the way usopp lies even though he hates liars, 2/3 of his priority people to protect

with sanji: the best chef in the world, genuinely a very kind man, sees eye to eye with him more often than not, thinks his rude persona is just a front LOL good friendly competitor 2/2

with chopper: cutest mascot, thinks he is genuinely very strong, admires his mental strength and his story, 3/3 of his priority people to protect

with vivi: worrisome princess, braver than she gives herself credit for, very close friend he hopes to reunite with in the future! a crewmate in his mind even if she is not sailing with them

with ace: idiot, but also a very cute idiot <3 freckles, sees a lot of their childhood in ace’s eyes which makes him slightly emotional, reckless, misses him a lot right now

Brief interview with the JPN voice cast of SMT IVA

Some fun VA talk alongside localization tidbits.

Taken from the official website. Translated by furinana

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse – TOPICS

Special Project for Voice Actors

Hiro Shimono, who plays the main character, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as the main character this time I personally love the Shin Megami Tensei series... and of course I also played IV (laugh)! So, I'm overwhelmed with emotion for being able to play a main character of Megaten!

[2] The main character's lines that left an impression on me The main character generally doesn't speak, but this time we recorded some lines (I can't go into details yet...). The one line that stuck with me was, "I want to be neutral"*. Megaten fans definitely feel an indescribable charm in the word "neutral".

*[TN: Originally "僕は、ニュートラルでありたいんです" In the interview, neutral is spelled as ニュートラル however in-game it's written as 中庸 chuuyou (lit. middle path)​ but still pronounced as "neutral". I added the ENG localization for comparison]

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release I don't know how things will turn out, but I hope you enjoy the world of Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse. As a fan myself, I'll be waiting with my 3DS fully charged!

[Note: Hiro Shimono is well-known for making roles of young boys (usually the bratty types), is a recurring duo with Flynn's VA Yuki Kaji and even at his age is considered to be "cute enough to be a girl" thus often crossdresses for the audience. On top of that, Shimono loves fried chicken. Nanashi eats fried chicken made of demons...]

A message from Shuichi Ikeda, who plays Dagda, regarding this work.

[Q] A message to everyone waiting for the release I eagerly antecipate the day when I can meet you all as Dagda. Please look forward to “Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse”.

Tomoko Seike, who plays Asahi, shares her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Asahi this time She is a simple and straightforward girl who doesn't lie. The more I acted, the more I fell in love with her. Meeting Asahi has allowed me to learn and grow a lot, and I would like to sincerely say "thank you" to my family and friends that I cherish so much.

[2] Asahi’s lines that left an impression on me "Muu." It 100% expressed Asahi's cuteness but it's a word I don't normally use, so it was very difficult.* *[TN: in the JPN version of the game, whenever Asahi feels displeased with something she goes muu. A close ENG equivalent would be a cutesy "grr"]

[3] Message to everyone waiting for the release Each and every character in the series is an indispensable presence, and the feelings of all of them come together to create a work that shows off a beautiful landscape filled with love and hope. This is my first time trying out voice acting, so it's a work that I became very attached to. I hope everyone enjoys it.

[Note: Tomoko Seike was originally a stageplay actress with Asahi being her very first role as a VA (however she's been inactive since then). She considered her favorite color sky blue and her biggest wish was to provide healing and power through her performances]

Shintaro Ohata, who plays Navarre, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Navarre this time

I never thought the day would come when I'd get to perform as Navarre again! Specially after what happened to him (laugh). I had a lot of fun playing him as a green-something this time. My first role as a green thingie.

[2] Navarre’s lines that left an impression on me

I said "gununu…" a lot* (laugh). *[TN note: Navarre's personal onomatopeia for when he's in a pickle. It's like a "nghh"]

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

This work felt both new and similar to the "Megami Tensei" that I played when I was a child. I hope you all enjoy it! Please join us in welcoming this green guy.

Kenjiro Tsuda, who plays the role of Krishna, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Krishna this time

It was a lot of fun to play such an impactful character!

[2] Krishna’s lines that left an impression on me

His difficult lines were remarkable (laugh).

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

We hope you enjoy it to your heart's content! Thank you!

Yuki Kaji, who plays Flynn, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Flynn this time

Last time, since I was the main character, I hardly had any lines… But after the release, I actually played the game myself and now I've grown quite attached to the character, so I was happy that I was able to speak a lot this time.

[2] Flynn's lines that left an impression on me

How do I say it... I was mesmerized by the fact that I had the privilege of playing many different types of Flynn. I can't go into details because I don't want to spoil the story, but I especially enjoyed playing "Flynn who is Flynn but isn't Flynn" (laugh). I hope you'll all listen and find out for yourself!

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

Shin Megami Tensei IV is back in a new form! I think it will be enjoyable not only for those who have played the previous game, but also for those who are starting a new game…but! There's still time! Please do your homework and review the game thoroughly until the release date! Thank you!

Hiroshi Kamiya, who plays Jonathan, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Jonathan this time

I was very happy to meet Jonathan again after a long time!

[2] Jonathan(Merkabah)'s lines that left an impression on me

All of Merkabah's lines are devilishly inflexible and extreme, and however correct they may be, they are difficult to empathize with, so it was challenging to make them sound good!

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

A world beyond Shin Megami Tensei IV is waiting! Those who played the previous game will have a deeper experience, and those starting with this one will enjoy it as something completely new! Please give it a try!

Katsuyuki Konishi, who plays Walter, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Walter this time

I'm happy to be playing Walter again. I never thought I'd get to see a continuation of their world, so it was fun.

[2] Walter’s lines that left an impression on me

I'm in a different position than before, so I hope you'll take a look at that as well.

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

This is the follow-up to Shin Megami Tensei! That world will be returning once again. Have fun with your favorite party.

Miyuki Sawashiro, who plays the role of Isabeau, talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Isabeau this time

This was the first recording in two years, so it felt nostalgic, but it was also refreshing to portray Isabeau as a more grown-up and unhesitanting character.

[2] Isabeau’s lines that left an impression on me

Her reaction when she is overwhelmed by Asahi, her junior (?). It was unlike anything we've seen before coming from her.

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

This will be our FINAL* (as planned)! Please stay with us until the end!

(TN: reference to how the title is known in Japan, Shin Megami Tensei IV FINAL)

Michiko Kaiden, who plays Maitreya (Miroku in JPN), talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Maitreya this time

Despite being a human, I had the opportunity to play a Bodhisattva. Although Maitreya is a Bodhisattva, he* is a frightening character who you wouldn't want to meet or fight. Although I struggled with the lines that were full of Buddhist terminology, it was a rewarding and interesting role to play.

*[TN note: Maitreya's gender is sort of ambiguous considering 1. Aside the female VA, Maitreya uses gender neutral speech 2. Doi intentionally designed Maitreya with a feminine, motherly even androgynous image 3. Maitreya's design resembles famous TV personality Matsuko Deluxe (a female persona of a crossdressing gay man) which is sort of a meme between Japanese fans]

[2] Maitreya's lines that left an impression on me

Maitreya's are more like "sermons" than lines, and every one of them is filled with teachings… It's difficult to narrow it down to just one. I hope you'll also enjoy his unique way of speaking.

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

The long-awaited sequel! The unexpected developments and depictions had me constantly reading the script, and my heart just kept pounding. I hope you all will experience this excitement too!

Atsushi Miyauchi, who plays Odin, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Odin this time Odin has a variety of emotions and ulterior motives existing alongside each other, so it was a very rewarding role to play. Although he was a demon, I felt a melancholic human quality to him, and I loved how indescribably heartbreaking it was. [2] Odin's lines that left an impression on me “…Only one can be the real deal, and the winner is always by their own.”*

I love this line, which is filled with Odin's nobility and pride.

*[TN: Originally "...本��は一人で良い 勝者は���に独りだ"]

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release This was my first time participating in the series, and I was fascinated by the worldview it offers. It's a very interesting game! I hope you all enjoy it!!

Junpei Morita, who plays Fujiwara, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Fujiwara this time He has a hidden passion inside him, and interacts with people with a carefree demeanor. I played the role hoping to express that kind of charm. I perceived him as a likeable character with a relaxed attitude. [2] Fujiwara’s lines that left an impression on me

"We'll definitely… stand under the sun together while looking at this blue sky again."* A line that speaks about hope of reaching the surface.

*[TN: Originally "必ず…また一緒に太陽の下で、あの青い空を見上げよう"]

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

Humans want to be human. And what exactly is to be human? Try to find out through Fujiwara and this game.

Mie Sonozaki, who plays Nozomi, talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Nozomi this time When I voiced Nozomi previously, her visual image wasn't completed by then. So I was free to voice her however I wanted, and even though she only appeared in challenge quests in the previous game, she's now been promoted to a main character! I'm really happy that Nozomi is loved by the players. Thank you. [2] Nozomi’s lines that left an impression on me "It's okay for humans to get lost."* Nozomi is the type of person who casually says important things, but I may have become a little too emotional when recording the lines...

*[TN: Originally "人間は、迷ってもいいんだよ".]

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release “Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse” is even darker than the previous work! Take good care of Nozomi who will be joining your party.

This time, there's more than just a standing sprite! Please play the previous game again before the release and look forward to the new one!

Miki Ito, who plays the role of Danu, talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Danu this time

The one known as Mother Goddess was a difficult role. I tried to portray the character with a sense of tolerance, but also wanted to incorporate a cold dignified atmosphere. [2] Danu’s lines that left an impression on me "Wield ●●●●●. Pierce the very heart of ●●●●"* (Note) Important story information has been omitted.

*[TN: The full sentence is "Wield Ame-no-habakiri. Pierce the very heart of the Cosmic Egg"] [3] A message to everyone waiting for the release Hello everyone. I'm Miki Ito, who plays the role of Danu. It's a game with a mysterious and interesting worldview. Please enjoy it thoroughly! See you again somewhere ♡

Rei Matsuzaki, who plays Napaea, talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Napaea this time She was very cute and since they told me I could act however I wanted, I performed without any restraints ♪ [2] Napaea’s lines that left an impression on me There isn't a particular line that stuck with me, but I remember Napaea having a unique accent because she has a peculiar way of ending her phrases*. And that's what makes her so cute!!

*[TN: The tic is the のよさ noyosa part. It's an intensifier similar to Naruto's dattebayo. An ENG equivalent would be the character constantly going "(something), you know!"] [3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

I'm so happy to be part of this series again! I've played many other characters besides this girl, so please enjoy the game and try to find them!

Toshiki Masuda, who plays the role of Hallelujah, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Hallelujah this time A man among men! This character truly depicts the kind of lifestyle that any man would aspire to. It was a great experience that made me think, "I want to grow into a person like that!" Thank you! [2] What lines from Hallelujah left an impression on me

None! Or rather, I want to say there are so many that I can't decide on just one!

Through the second half of the game, Hallelujah’s lines become more determined, resolved, and responsible! I want you to listen to those! [3] A message to everyone waiting for the release

I was both happy and nervous when I heard that I would be appearing in the latest installment of the long-running Shin Megami Tensei series. I look forward to the release together with everyone!

Takeshi Maeda (miscredited as Tsuyoshi Maeda), who plays Gaston, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Gaston this time

It was a lot of fun. As the younger brother of the eccentric and short-tempered Navarre, I was hoping to be able to subtly sense the unique atmosphere that Mr. Ohata portrayed while playing the role in my own way. Gaston was a character that underwent some pretty drastic character development, so that was interesting as well. [2] Gaston’s lines that left an impression on me "You really never learn, it’s SIR Gaston! Respect your elders!"* Sorry for the weird scene. *[TN: Originally "君は全く学習しないな。ガストンさんだ。年上を敬いたまえ!"]

[3] A message to everyone waiting for the release I'm Maeda and I played the role of Gaston.

The Megami Tensei series, which I've been playing since I was a child, is getting more and more interesting. Many people with different points of view engage in a fierce battle this time as well.

Please come and watch the struggles of the main character's team and Gaston, who are all at the mercy of the situation.

Thank you for your support.

Misaki Kuno, who plays Toki, talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Toki this time Toki, who was raised as an assassin by the Ring of Gaea, was difficult to play because she was a child who rarely showed emotions. However, the scene where she gets tempted by many different colors of the Aether was really fun!! [2] Toki’s lines that left an impression on me I put great care in the lines when Toki, who was only thinking about completing her mission until then, gradually started opening up to the protagonist. [3] A message to everyone waiting for the release I did my best efforts on playing Toki, so I hope you'll look forward to her. Thank you very much!!

Chafurin, who plays Mido, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Mido this time Well, I'm a Synthesis Pot*, so to speak. Wahahaha...

*[TN: 合成の壺 seems to be a reference to the most valuable pot you can find in the Shiren the Wanderer series. You insert pieces of equipment inside it and the end result is the strength of the materials combined.] [2] Mido’s lines that left an impression on me

"Welcome to the Cathedral of Shadows, where demons gather…"*

*[TN: Originally "悪魔が集いし邪教の館へようこそ…" Cathedral of Shadows in Japanese is 邪教の館 which can be something like Mansion of Heretical Religions] [3] A message to everyone

I'm also looking forward to the release. What is this feeling? I'm so excited! ♪ (Note) This comment was received in the summer of 2015.

Junichi Suwabe, who plays the role of Abe, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Abe this time I couldn't help but be like, "They had that kind of relationship!?" [2] Abe’s lines that left an impression on me It would be a spoiler, so it's a secret. If I had to say, it would be "everything." [3] A message to everyone We hope you'll give it a try. Thank you!

Yuko Kaida, who plays Burroughs, talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Burroughs this time I'm happy to meet you all once more as Burroughs. [2] Burroughs’ lines that left an impression on me "It's no good. I'm getting an error"* This time, Burroughs's only appearance looks somewhat human. Actually, alongside this one I played another role where I was able to give my all, so I had a lot of fun. *[TN: Originally "ダメ、エラーが出ちゃう"] [3] A message to everyone We have an astonishingly gorgeous cast of voice actors this time too! I was so surprised. We hope you enjoy this voiced Megaten the fullest once again!

Cho, who plays Dr. Matsuda/Stephen, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Dr. Matsuda/Stephen this time Hey folks! Dr. Matsuda and Stephen were completely different characters, so I had a lot of fun. I wanted to expand the role of Dr. Matsuda more. Next time I'm asked to perform as Dr. Matsuda, would it be okay if I change the dialogue to suit my own taste? [2] Lines that left an impression on me Matsuda is like, “Hey folks” Stephen is like, “Hello there”*

[3] A message to everyone Hello there, my name is Stephen. Thanks to you guys, we can meet again. I am looking forward to it…. For pete's sake!

*[TN: Originally "どもっす" for Matsuda and "やあ" for Stephen. Matsuda speaks with the polite auxiliary verb -ssu used in colloquial speech, which shows slight respect for the listener but doesn't convey an intellectual image. There's no way to closely convert those to English so I just used what the localization came up with]

Atsuko Tanaka, who plays Gabby/Gabriel, talks about her thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as Gabby/Gabriel this time It's an honor to play Gabby/Gabriel again! [2] Lines that left an impression on me "Our Lord, the most merciful and gracious, has deigned to give you a chance"* *[TN: Originally "寛大にして慈悲深き我らが主は 貴方たちに機会をお与え下さいました"]

[3] A message to everyone I played Gabby/Gabriel in this title as well. I cannot wait, but please wait. (Note) This comment was received in the summer of 2015.

Mugihito, who played the role of ●●●●, talks about his thoughts on this work

[1] Acting out as ●●●● this time It's best not to say too much about the character I play. I'm looking forward to meeting you all in the game. [2] A message to everyone Sure enough, when I got requested for the role, I became worried that a human being would get punished for playing it (laugh).

That's why I put a lot of effort into my performance, so please come and check it out with your own eyes and ears.

So, if you were asked to write your top 5 (or top 3) fav from JJK, what genre will you put them (or you agree that they should be in shounen)....

(Inspired by this memes that said : Yuji is born to be in shoujo but forced to shounen. Gojo & Getou are born to be in shounen ai but forced to shounen....)

Yeah, SatoSugu should just live in the shounen ai world so they have an excuse to actually kiss. 😭

Yuji would do well in those funny slice of life like "Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou" or "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun." 😂 Would be even better if he can drag Megumi, Nobara, and Gojo into it because these four people have only 1 brain cell and Megumi's the only one in charge of it. They'd be the perfect cast.

I think Mechamaru is the one who really fit into the shounen genre here. The way he suffers from the moment he is born, his struggles to break free of that struggle, all the ups and downs along the way, and him pining for that one girl who is constantly supportive of him + wanting to see his friends just screams shounen to me. He's practically driven by the power of love and nakama. 🔥

I'm a bit torn about Nanami. He would be so cool to star in a suspenseful detective/mafia stories full of mysteries and thrilling actions. But a part of me wants to give him a break by putting him in a slice of life, too, but more mature-themed like "The Way of the Househusband." Plus, that one's starring Tsuda Kenjiro, as well. 👀

It may be cool to throw Choso into the seinen genre, along with Yuki and Tengen for support. He has a lot of struggles he needs to go through in order to make peace with himself and his life, but the theme is more mature than shounen.

Outliers Among Supporting Characters and Phantom Idols

So it seems that most supporting characters in this game will double as Phantom Idols.  However, there are a few new characters that haven’t been confirmed as one or the other:

Phantom Idols without counterparts: Seiji, Mont, Yuki

It’s not surprising to have characters that exist purely for gacha, but these guys were pretty prominent in early marketing, including an official cosplay of Mont.  And Yuki was apparently going to to have a major role back when this game was still called Code Name: X.  Are these guys leftovers from an earlier draft?

Supporting characters without counterparts: Kumi Katayama, Ena Kageyama, Long Black-Haired Girl

Are these characters going to be story members?  Have their Metaverse outfits not been designed yet?  Are they not going to Phantom Idols at all?

I’m probably just getting ahead of myself, but I thought this was worth pointing out.

No no, it’s definitely interesting to think about!

Seiji and Yuki both have traces of counterparts- Yukimi has a school uniform model in both beta’s files (though the first beta’s wasn’t quite assembling correctly for me, so I’m hoping the second’s will be better), and they both had confidant portraits in the first beta’s files:

Whether that means we’ll actually meet them or not is still debatable, but it seems to suggest they’re out there somewhere! Mont, however, we still have no sign of, and we also haven’t seen Leo’s anywhere as far as I’ve seen (I believe Persona Central reported this incorrectly).

I would be a little surprised if we didn’t get to meet every Phantom Idol’s counterpart in the supporting cast, though, because it’s a growing pattern that sort of explains where the Phantom Idols “come from”, or I suppose specifically, why Merope decides on those ones to create for Wonder. But it’s also true that the data for Yukimi’s uniform could just be leftover from Codename: X, and there’s no obvious indication either way. There were other remnants of things with her changing throughout development (Styx being called Portia, her having two slightly different sets of portraits and thief models), so the uniform could just be another addition to that list, and I can’t tell just from the file names.

As for the supporting characters without current counterparts, the list’s actually far longer, considering how many characters have portraits and thus could be a supporting character. Other teachers, the guitar girl, animal rights girl, and mascot by Shibuya station, the guy with the prominently curled hair in Shinjuku, the camera guy, the young boy (Kazuhiko Tsuda), etc... at the moment, none of them are confirmed confidants, much like Wonder’s teacher, Katayama, and the new coffee shop lady, both of which you listed above. So I’m not sure we can really narrow down who qualifies as a supporting character that “should” be a confidant yet? I think this is a little harder to speculate, though it would make sense if Katayama is a confidant to mirror Kawakami’s role as one in P5. I guess if you’re including the coffee shop girl as one to parallel Sojiro, then there might be some backing to the theory? But Wonder doesn’t live there, so I’m not sure she makes quite the same level of logical sense. I guess it remains to be seen.

And the girl with long black hair, again, is Riko Tanemura! We already know she’s going to join the team, almost certainly as a story teammate considering she’s on the title screen.
