Seto Kaiba is one of the most iconic anime of all anime and one of the most iconic competitors of all time Yu-Gi-Oh!. Japanese voice actor in New York City anime in New York KenjirōTsuda And show the producer Teruaki jitsumatsutsutsu Show up and discuss their history with the franchise. Not only is it a great opportunity to review the series from a humble beginning, but we even have some of the latest projects involving our love of the dragon’s duel.
Jitsumatsu mentioned that when casting employees, one thing that is ordered is Yu-Gi-Oh! It was they who explicitly wanted to go with the unfamiliar voice actors. The logic is that when voice actors play a very important role, they often compare it to that character, or you can hear their other roles in later performances. At the time, the relatively unknown actors allowed the performer to compare it to others in a unique voice in the role of ironic future. Since he started working, Tsuda has told me how Yu-Gi-Oh!he participated in many other animation and television projects. Wherever he goes, there will always be at least one person who recognizes his name or his voice and points out that they were once a Yu-Gi-Oh! Player. You can say that Tsuda still has such a strong reverence for the character, although he also fully admits that he never wants to be friends with Kaiba in real life.
Actually, Tsuda’s work Yu-Gi-Oh! Set expectations for his future career. Often, in the Shonen Battle series, the plot can be very intense. But at some times, the character has downtime. Yu-Gi-Oh!However, it started to be very powerful and only continued to upgrade. Tsuda’s impression is that all combat series are like this until he finally keeps working hard and discovers Yu-Gi-Oh! is a unique exception.

Jitsumatsu pointed out the performance Yu-Gi-Oh! Incredibly unique, Tsuda brings specific dramatic energy to the character Kaiba. Typical line readings and reactions won’t work with him. This is evident in some of the scenes that are shown on the panel with fan selections. Three scenes in the anime are chosen as Kaiba’s top moments. The third best scene is Kaiba summoning the torturer’s obelisk from the ground Yu-Gi-Oh! : The dark side of size Movie. The second top of the list was when he sacrificed God to summon his blue eyes during the war zone arc. The final moment is actually a very exciting monologue Kaiba gave Yugi during the climax of the battlefield showdown. I’ve never heard a speech in Japanese because I grew up in the English dubbing of the series, so I heard Kaiba discuss how violence and hatred have always been a part of his life so that he would succeed with more violence and hatred. Yugi turned around and said that it would only make him lonely in the end. Tsuda points out that despite Yugi’s attempt to be friends with him, they are as strange as they are.
Tsuda also noted that one thing that makes Kaiba so good is that he lost a lot against the background of the show. But he always thinks he is winning, so he has some confidence in the role that always needs the front and center. Jitsumatsu recalls that when Tsuda said his first “lottery”, he felt the breeze in the room. Tsuda then participated in a live speech on the stage, recreating one of the scenes The dark side of size Movie.
Speaking of The dark side of sizethey also shared some interesting tidbits on that movie. Given the events of the finale of the main series, the decision of the film’s main feature is driven by the lack of practical or narrative reasons for the decision to center the Pharaoh. Tsuda jokes about how the movie explores not only the dark side of Kaiba, but also the dark side of Jitsumatsu. Before commenting, Tsuda tells an interesting story about how to return to Kaiba’s character before being asked to return to Kaiba’s The dark side of size In the movie, Tsuda recently dubbed Kaiba in several video games, which missed the series for a decade. The first thing he saw online after the voice was made public was that someone commented that Kaiba sounded old. Tsuda admits that comment was given to him, so he puts everything in his performance The dark side of size.
Kaiba is probably one of my favorite characters in the whole Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise, so it is a treat to his group strictly dedicate. But, it made me itch Yu-Gi-Oh! The animation is in the future. We have no tradition Yu-Gi-Oh! Shown since then Yu-Gi-Oh! Flynn. No one knows what the future is for us, but that’s why it still feels so wonderful to look back at these moments.
