I literally feel the same ~... HAHA.. but then it makes me happy to know that the seiyuu is Sugita whenever I recognize his voice, so it's still a plus for me ^=^ I really love Gintoki as a character and I really like Sugita's personality ~~
Sugita shows up for the first time in One Piece and becomes one of the most popular new characters in the last decade. Oops. I also feel happy knowing he and Nakai did cross paths at least a few times.
It's a shame Zoro isn't in the Whole Cake Island arc. Then Sugita would have a close friend to introduce him to the other veterans. Plus it would be great to see Katakuri and Zoro fight, if anything just to hear Sugita and Kazuya Nakai throw insults at one another as they always do in Gintama.
How can Sugita Tomokazu , A.K.A : Katakuri , Joseph Joestar , Gintoki , Yusuke Kitagawa and Karasuma , be intimidated in front of legends when he's a legend ?
The seiyuu of Luffy, Tanaka Mayumi voiced Krilin, she is even senior to Hayashibara Megumi. When you consider that age seniority also matters a fuck lot in Japan, and she is 26 years older than Sugita.... Yeaa, he is pretty much a newbie compared to the main cast.
What?! Sugitan is one of the youngest cast member in One Piece? 🤯 Wow... the show is really filled with veteran seiyuus. And I just remember even among Gintama MAIN casts (Yorozuya trio + Shinsengumi trio), he was also the youngest.
Haha that's cute 😆 the umbrella comparison xD Nakai san? I was like but Zoro isn't around in this arc..ahh background character..yeah I do hear his voice xD Loved the OST you used at the end 😆 I'm really happy that Sugita san in is OP, after parodying it a lot in Gintama xD he deserves it nonetheless! He's awesome as Katakuri oof 😍
Lol, speaking about Sugita, recently Inoue Kikuko asked Hideo Kojima at Tokyo Game Show 2018 whether he had a role for Sugita at Death Stranding because Sugita is a Kojima fan, Koijima replied there was no character that fits Sugita's voice. No doubt he's be disappointed.
He said for now,I'm actually really hoping he's in death stranding,snake,ocelot and Kaz will be reunited xD,I think mizuki Nana actually asked about it.
And don't forget Pikachu! I cried so hard when she said a line with real words in the 20th anniversary Pokemon movie... (hope this is not a spoiler alert)
I find it so weird that Sugita Tomokazu and Nakai Kazuya often work together for Gintama and Sugita Tomokazu seems to act super unfamiliar with the guy in this
There had been an announcement for Sugita playing Katakuri where it was Gintoki in Katakuri's clothing. But in truth, Gintoki and Katakuri aren't that different character-wise, which make Sugita a perfect Seiyuu
I always find it funny when gintama characters talking about one piece being on another level compare to them (well, i really thought they’re both really good i just dont understand why they have to say it like that). Never thought irl sugita san would also have this kind ‘another level’ thought of one piece voice actors 😂
Because in Japan, seniority is very important. Younger people have to be respectful to older people or their seniors at work. Most of One Piece voice actors, especially the Straw Hats, are older veterans who have been in the seiyuu industry since Sugita was a teenager. In front of them, Sugita is like a newbie.
Sugita in One Piece is awkward with his role being completely reversed with Kazuya from constantly taking the piss out of him in Gintama to being 15+ years his junior on the OP cast.
