A scene from Wolf's Rain, Episode 2 Because this clip is taken out of context, it may contain material that may seem inappropriate to some audiences. Please view with discretion.
Steve Blum brings the menace while Takaya Kuroda brings the seductive charm. I think Blum edges it out in the breakdown scene but Kuroda stole this one
It's amazing Kuroda is also the voice of Kazuma Kiryu in Yakuza. You can somewhat hear the vocal pitch of Kiryu when he's speaking a bit louder during the scene. Also I agree regarding Steve Blum with the more gave the breakdown more edge to it but he also sounds so much more angry during the fight. You can also feel Steve emphasizing Darcias rage and seething hatred in the line "You damn wolf, all of this began with your wretched breed." Between the 2 I like Kuroda when Darcia is calm and collected, his voice does show Darcia once had compassion and was once a gentle man while Harmona was well as well as the sorrow seeing her afflicted with Paradise sickness. I like Blums portrayal when Darcia snaps and become more emotional like in his fight with Kiba at his keep when Darcia says "My eye transformed into one such as yours. The price I paid for being cursed by Paradise, but now the only thing that surrounds me is dispair." Blums emotional shifts move so quickly between hatred, disgust, nearly breaking down and then into helplessness. They both did well with the role and this is one anime I actually like in both sub and dub. Also props to Yoko Kanno for the amazing OST.
