Destiny 2 - Japanese Dubbed Witness (Enable CC for subs)

[@jerrbear5958]

Gotta say I prefer English, doesn't sound very scary or strange. But Nezzy? oh boy HE sounds great in Japanese.

[@elysium6679]

He sounds like a typical Japanese villain, I don't think the destiny casting is too great in Japanese tbh

[@adamboy0559]

It just doenst have the same ominous feel especially in the first time we ever see it after wq. After that cutscene we are left with nothing but what the fuck is this thing.

[@jerrbear5958]

@@elysium6679 exactly. Guardian get in the robot ass voice

[@TheFinalIllusion]

Someone’s not very cultured, are they? Sounds like a vast majority of anime villains. Have better opinions

[@cyd_hunter99]

The issue is that Japanese voice acting tends to be...tropey. It's always some variation of the same voice done a dozen times before.

[@captainrelyk]

English witness is better. But Japanese Nezarec? God tier voice acting there

[@adamboy0559]

Tbh I think English witness sounds much better. You can clearly hear it go from a composed villain to a desperate one when it sees we can hurt it. From the second we deal our first fatal hit to it we see a whole new side. One of fear. Its movements are no longer slow and composed. There now faster and more frantic.

The final anime

[@arcanite_force]

As a fan of Ultraman, I get such series Big-Bad vibes from this performance

[@perryplaya6945]

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

[@jakespacepiratee3740]

Looking forward to seeing this voice actor reprise this role in the Destiny Anime.

[@lmlagg]

This jap dub sucks compared to the eng version. You losers can't even use the “tHe AuThOr’S vIsIoN” argument either 💀

[@sheeeshgod6253]

Do you have the quote in excision where it says “We are the first knife, the edge that carved purpose into being?”

[@WolfDragon6000]

Am I the only one thinking that the ghost in Japanese got that same OG tone from Peter Dinklage back 2014?

[@zerotodona1495]

Japanese is better. You all need to get over Peter. He wasn’t a good voice actor.

Destiny 2: Anime Version .... imagine tho

[@KoruKinshi]

Destiny is now best anime.

[@KIRITO_that_guy_with_2_swords]

I get honkai 3rd vibes from this, while from English Witness I get some evil God vibes.... for japanese witness I'm just like: KEVIN, probably because of finality Final Shape...

[@kade_the_cin]

I need a destiny anime now

[@axelkusanagi4139]

The lightfall stuff reminded me of Tokusatsu. I still think Destiny could make for a great Tokusatsu like power rangers

[@slimj091]

Kind of disappointed that there wasn't a "NANI!?" in there.

The Anti-Spiral

[@10THPROPHET]

The ending of Iconoclasm just kills it for me. Brett Dalton made the Witness sound REALLY pissed and hurt when we wounded it, especially with "There is ONLY SUFFERING!". If the Japanese voice actor just belted that out, then maybe. 14:12 though the furious roar was pretty solid.

[@bloodboundalpha1303]

I feel like they should’ve gotten the Anti-Spiral’s voice actor for this roll

[@harpiespore6145]

I think I didn't hear the witness what he's saying. We are the first knife. We are the edge that carve purpose into Being in Japanese?

[@irishbananamafia9728]

I always had a feeling Destiny was inspired by anime and now this confirms it

[@FLancer218]

The Witness is pretty much Anti Spiral from Guren Lagaan

[@punkrider8758]

Might be on the same level as English!

[@zatderpscout6017]

Are you doing these for other languages as well?

[@Gunax332]

I have no plans on doing so, but the official Destiny 2 KZbin channel (@destinythegame) has uploaded some in game cutscenes and trailers for other languages. It's not exactly what you're asking for, but I thought I'd mention it

[@jasonverygood6326]

bro sound like character from kaiju no 8

[@robbiesharp4596]

Now destiny need a anime version.

[@Sphynx_]

kinda sounds like a off brand all for one but with a echo'ed voice changer

[@ratfromhaloreach]

I like the japanese witness voice, due to the fact that it could have the idea that the witness found one perfect voice for its being, rather than the fruit bowl of voices in the english version

[@Trigger-ub6xn]

With the English va, you can always hear his main voice. It's the deepest, clearest segment of it.

[@longinus_smasher6808]

Japanese Cayde sounds like Kakashi

[@itsmoonlord24]

Is it possible to have English sub while having the audio in Japanese

[@adagium__]

Do you guys actually know these different languages or do you just listen to the tone/inflection?

[@Midnight-7411]

Yeah as fun as this is the witness so rarely puts enough emphasis behind its words that it absolutely does in English that it just feels disappointing

[@zerotodona1495]

XD oh my god!!! He sounds so silly! Lmfaooooooo! I can’t take this version serious! Too silly!!!

[@vollied4865]

Ain't no way people say the English sounds better 😂 he sounds like a total bih in English, he was never threatening or scary y'all are just children. At least in Japanese his voice has some weight behind it

[@iponce2]

The witness was never supposed to sound scary, it was supposed to sound composed. It was almost tranquil, specifically to contrast the moments where it gets angry. The witness' voice and cadence was a subtle and quiet way of telling you how it operated without outright TELLING you how it operated first. It gave the gamers the time and tools to get this character before we got the heavy exposition in game.

[@dropkick3024]

"THERE IS ONLY SUFFERING!!!" "YOU ARE UNWORTHY OF SALVATION!!" "WE. WILL. NOT. YIELD!!!" "We....are....SALVATION!!!" Tell me that ain't terrifying. And it ain't supposed to be terrifying. It's a calm and collective person who needs everything to the T.
