YU-GI-OH! MOVIE DREAM CAST
Bonds that Transcend Time!
Bonds that Transcend Time!
Paradox, a mysterious Turbo Duellist from the future time travels back into the past in order to kill Maximillion Pegasus, the creator of duel monsters, preventing the card game from being created. The trio (Yuugi Mutou, Yusei Fudo and Yuki Judai) travel back in time prior to Paradox's initial attack in Yuugi's time in order to face Paradox in a three-on-one duel, before his actions throw the timeline into chaos, and therefore creating a time paradox.
To have this dream cast assembled together as an actual official cast to the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie fandub would simply kick butt! This project will happen! I can guarantee it will. I plan on it. If not with this dream cast, then I'm certain with just as equally talented voice actors. If anything, I'd stray as far from the 4kids take on each character at all costs, just so the dub oozes that Japanese/Original feel.
Yuugi Mutou / Pharaoh Atem
ASW is the only voice actor that I know who can give each character a voice of their own, ranging between a higher tone for Yuugi and a lower pitch for Atem, while remaining true to each character and mimicking close to the original Japanese voice actor, Shunsuke Kazama. ASW may not be Dan Green, but he is by far the best voice actor that I've seen who can manage to portray both characters flawlessly. His voice for Yuugi Mutou is simply adorable, while his voice for Atem = Fangasm.
Yuki Judai
Momijishindo, I have worked with him before. He is an amazing voice actor and his voice type for Yuki is simply amazing. His voice type suits Yuki so well, it's not only a refreshing new take on the character, but he brings forth the energy and spunk that Yuki possesses. Personally, if I were going to do a fan dub of this, I'd employ Momijishindo.
My second choice would be BloodRedOath, because he does have his own youthful tone and tambour that I just love. And the energy he brings to his performance with any other character he is given is absolutely amazing. He'd be my second choice. Or even CountAbyss. His range is just as impressive as his capability to bring forth the best out of his performance.
Yusei Fudo
I heard sonicmega for the first time in Zekkai's fandub of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. He has an amazing voice for Yusei that screamed "I'm a drop dead sexy duellist with a crotch rocket!" xD; That's a hell of a way to put it, but hey! I can't help it. He's an amazing voice actor that just oozes awesomeness. Need I say more? <3 Honestly, though, I do love sonicmega's ability to portray any character he is given and do it well. There isn't a doubt in my mind that he'd do Yusei justice!
Paradox
For some reason, I want to say Sarifus. Although, he is known to play wonderful villainous types of characters with deeper pitches and tones, this would be a step up from the usual deep tone he is known for. Paradox has a rich texture to his voice and it isn't that deep at all. It could best be described as medium. Oh yes! Having Sarifus voice Paradox would simply be amazing.
Jack Atlas
Motly Fool, like ASW, is by far the best voice actor that I have heard to have matched this characters look and you can just hear it in Motly's voice when I first heard him. Jack is very arrogant and thinks highly of himself, to have a deep tone that gives off that intimidating vibe, I can think of no one other than Motly. I heard him in Zekkai's fandub and I simply fell in love with his voice! And I can almost guarantee that if I were to cast him as Jack Atlas, I'd have no regrets!
Although if I had to choose another voice actor for the role, it would have to be none other than Ovarku, I don't know why, but with a little directional coaching I can see it working. Ovarku has this nice texture to his voice that I absolutely love. He'd definitely bring something new to the table, giving the character the right amount of arrogance that he possesses. I'm a big fan of his work and did I mention that I love his voice? I do. xD
Crow Hogan
Koichi_Saito has such a great range. A fellow producer and friend sent me his demo reel recently and while listening, I can easily see him voicing Crow. He has such a great range and can convey emotion so intensely that I don't think he'd have a problem voicing this character and conveying the awesomeness that Crow is. Koichi_Saito would be and will be my first casting choice for this character if ever this production kicks off.
Yubel - Fairuza
Although, I am not really too sure if this character plays a vocal role in all this. xD;
** NOTE: I'll be sure to add more once more information on the movie becomes available.
