Jiren's VA was amazing in 130 and 131
Just thought I'd show some appreciation for how great the voice actor did, his screams were extremely intense. It definitely made the character a lot better in my mind, because he was always so monotone and boring the entire time.

Eiji Hanawa was sensational in the final three episodes of the show. Mainly because it by that time the anime had actually bothered to expand on Jiren's characterization more. Which lead to his vocal range being more diverse.

I think he had the best voice performance in Dragon Ball Super.
The power up in episode 130 was just too good.

Hanawa Eiji did a great job. It was a nice gesture to have the final foe for the series be voiced by Iron Man from Disk Wars: Avengers considering just how much of the staff from that series was the initial staff for Dragon Ball Super.

Jiren first showed up in Dragon Ball Heroes around February back before we even knew his name, right? That means his VA would've been cast almost a year before he had any actual lines in the show.
I wonder how he felt during those first few recording sessions. "Okay Hanawa-san, Jiren's finally making his debut in the series. You have one line, a couple of grunts, and that's it for a month." Easy money I guess.
Then a year later you get to the last few episodes and he finally gets to act! Jiren gets all these lines, a motivation, emotional range, basically a whole character arc out of nowhere. Credit to the guy, he knocked it out of the park, but until then he was kind of a victim of the weird circumstances surrounding how the character was written and executed.

It was the same that episode 66 was for Zamasu's voice actor. The moment where both show how amazing they are.
Despite all the production problems, Toei always tries to bring the best voice actors in the industry to Dragon Ball. That didn't change.

A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

His sceam of agony in 130 against Goku's Kamehameha is still one of my favorite moments. Really loved his later scenes

One of the best vocal performances for a villain next to Norio Wakamoto as Cell.
Too bad his performance was wasted on a bland alien.

Easily one of my favorite voice performances for this series.

I also wanna give a shout-out to Caulifla and Kale's VAs, they did amazing in 116. Really intense screams. (and mini-shout out to Champa's "KEEEFFUUUURRAAAAA")

It's just a shame the old cast are not at their peaks anymore, these new character VA's blowing them out the water, with maybe the exception of Kusao.Asura wrote:I also wanna give a shout-out to Caulifla and Kale's VAs, they did amazing in 116.

That scream is what sold that Kamehameha as a finishing blow for me. It looks and sounds so decisive that I have no problem believing Jiren has been weakened to shit by 131 and even with all his showoff powering up he's pretty much done.MKCSTEALTH wrote:His sceam of agony in 130 against Goku's Kamehameha is still one of my favorite moments.

Out of all the new material, I think Jiren's VA does the best screams.
We all know how much DB fans love their screaming muscle men

Yeah it was handled beautifully and really made the par in 131 where Freeza is standing over Jiren, having defeated him, that much more believable.Lupin Vegeta wrote:That scream is what sold that Kamehameha as a finishing blow for me.

He was great in #129 as well.
