Any news of Mr. Wakamoto to voice a character in Super?

Post by Iberian_Saiyan » Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:25 pm

I suppose this is very likely to happen because so far we've gotten Majin Boo and Freeza (+ Frost) so the ultimate perfectionist Cell should also appear on the show, even if it's only as a cameo or a clone of him (much like Frost is to Freeza even though Frost is just a cheater). Norio Wakamoto has the voice of a God so for the love of Kami, he definitely should be part of the series! :D

P.S. What a shame there's not a single movie about Cell yet Freeza has one.

I don't know about him having the voice of God. To me he has the voice of the Devil. He has the ULTIMATE bad guy voice!

Well, a God doesn't have to be necessarily good to be considered a God. If Cell was in charge of Hell it would be so much fun! :lol:

God, capital G usually refers to the Christian one, so sorry if I got confused :D but yeah, the man is a legend.

I'm agnostic myself but it's a fact that some superior being created the world, now if that's a god or not. It's impossible to tell (each religion has their own version of how God is supposed to be) but folks like Norio Wakamoto (vocally) and Ricky Martin (as a singer and handsomely hot guy) prove that there's a superior force out there. :P

I haven't heard Wakamoto in anything in a long while. I would like to see Cell return if Wakamoto could take the work seriously again.

I was expecting him to voice Hit before.But if Zarama will appear in the future,i would definitely love it if Wakamoto will voice him.

His Perfect Cell was fine. It was the Imperfect forms that kinda threw me off. I think Toei was going for a more bug-like, creepyish portrayal the second time around. It's surprising at first but you get used to it.

Even as Cell in his completed form he still didn't take the dramatic moments seriously. His performance of Cell's inner monologue when he realized he couldn't defeat Gohan and decided to use a Kamehame-Ha was terrible.

If I recall, his performance in Xenoverse was particularly uninspired. I seem to recall having to see if it was even him anymore.

To be honest I don't think anyone in Kai brought their A game.

In contrast, Dameon Clarke's Cell was fantastic.

For me, the battle screams of Wakamoto were simply fantastic.
Anyway, maybe now is too old for this performance

Videl's new voice actor was pretty good if you ask me.

Oh, Dameon Clarke is back to voicing Cell in the video games rather than that hack of a voice-actor? Wonderful! Now there's a reason to force myself to play Xenoverse.

I wouldn't call Travis Willingham a hack of a voice actor. He's a very talented VA. It's just his voicing for Cell didn't feel right.

He tried to imitate Clarke's Cell voice.

He's still doing some voice acting for the DBZ games.

Nah, last thing we need is another villain returning. Cell had his time, which was perfection (No pun intended), so we don't need any more of him.
