[podcast] Suwabe Junichi, on voicing villains

[@christi6236]

It's awesome that Suwabe-san doesn't make Sukuna sound evil intentionally. Sukuna's crazy laugh comes from his true emotions that are happiness, excitement, triumph. That's why his "evilness" sounds natural and not exaggerated nor histrionic.

[@kurasakikenji]

That's how Actors get into their role, and suwabe is professional and experienced VA in this industry btw. He has been in Voice acting for a long time.

[@legand262]

Grimmjow~@@kurasakikenji

[@kurasakikenji]

@@legand262 uhm.. yes, his name is grimmjow.

[@vlad5042]

@@kurasakikenji what do you mean by "pretty much", lolol he definitely is a professional va... cuz he works professionally, as a va

[@kurasakikenji]

@@vlad5042 yeah ur right sorry, i just realize how dumb it sound. Again sorry, English is not my first language, im still learning. Sorry about that.

[@amnriamhec]

YO SUKUNA'S LAUGH IS CRAZY GOOD. Dang, but now that I think about it, everyone's voice work on JJK is legendary, so.. I cant pick!

[@SemekiIzuio]

Yeah they really got top notch voice actors for iconic characters like all the men are top VAs in Japan, Koyasu Suwabe Nakamura Tsuda and Sakurai

[@kikaykimy]

There’s Mahito’s VA too! Outstanding performance!

[@retro-san4050]

how dare he casually lets out such a laugh and say it's half-assed when it turned my world upside down for a moment xD

[@yubin_games]

@@retro-san4050 at what point, where

[@wxsussy]

[@kiyomi5583]

Hearing him talk about such things while voicing Sukuna just feels so unreal. Hearing him in Sukuna's voice just being so calm and such just makes it that much cooler like duuude I would love this guy as a teacher.

[@Airmatcha]

He is a teacher in Yuuri on Ice. 😂

[@Satihc.n]

He has voiced many teachers (like Aizawa from MHA, Karasuma from Assassination Classroom and Viktor from Yuri on ice as the previous comment said)

[@Alexwastaken2k]

I mean Sukuna is calm, u just know he gonna slash someone

[@rakeshreddy-ze1gz]

0:06 THAT LAUGH WAS SO ATTRACTIVE

[@queendio7520]

Suwabe’s natural growl is his voice got me feeling some type of way

[@precious_shun]

i would move tf out if i realized im a neighbor to sukuna

[@sakmadik69420]

Yes and don't even think for one second why you haven't been eaten yet.take that time instead to run as far as possible😂

[@Symora]

I would stay there forever

@@asca-b2i it would be the perfect way to go for me imo (I can fix him)

I’d move in to that apartment as soon as you move out 😂

[@richogarden]

Suwabe-san voice is doing things to me...

[@Symora]

it’s so smooth it drives me crazy

[@rubyrose49]

Hands down his Sukuna voice is the hottest and best voice I've ever heard in my existence. It's so hot. I could listen to him like Sukuna all day long.

[@richogarden]

[@umemehara]

plsss suwabe-san is so humble 😭

[@joyibear]

he issss omg

[@Yuan0287W]

Man just casually dropped a powerful "HAHAHA" like it's a piece of cake.... The amount of time he must have practised to master this skill when he was a rookie must be crazy, what a legend.

[@leyvadira]

I love theeeem 😭 I could listen to Suwabe-san for hours... It's so interesting getting to know his mentality when performing as Sukuna! Thank you so much for the translation! ❤

[@phoebecara4361]

Shout out to Suwabe-san trying to practice Aizawa's slurping juice/jelly?. Only to be told by the editing team that it will be added in post.

[@s_mai8970]

Of course he had to master evil laughing a lot considering his other prominent role is Grimmjow and Grimmjow evil laughs a whole lot 😭 I love his voice so much..

[@imashoe1029]

Suwabe-san has such a chill personality

[@Haruki_chan]

Yuji’s seiyuu sounds so friendly please 😩🥺 i just wanna be friend with him ❤️

[@ichi_san]

This was an enlightening clip. To Sukuna, what he does is right. A true villain doesn't see themselves as one. Really cool, thank you

[@iDana256]

The laugh Suwabe-san did at around 1:20 sounded the closest to how Sukuna laughed during the Mahoraga fight

[@jackiesinghan2624]

so true lmao

[@abdullahauff9202]

Just thinking about this casual talk between itadori and sukuna

[@satorumybeloved]

hes just a silly guy 😭

[@joyibear]

he really is😭😭

[@phoebecara4361]

More Suwabe-san content THANK YOU 🙏🙏

[@ranputeras596]

Enoki Junya's voice is now marked as Itadori Yuuji or Caelus in my head

[@constellationdreamlessnigh5573]

Wait.... yuji voice actor is the same with caelus from honkai star rail?? I don't know about that😂

[@GreekShinobi223]

He'll also voice one of the Prefect 4 in the new Black Butler season that's coming out

[@shingojira3559]

Im the only one who think he's voice as nasa..

[@sancerulean]

the thumbnail is already making me chuckle 😹 i'm so excited for this!!! thank you so much again, curry 🤍 edit: he's so unserious what does he mean by half-ass???? (2:57) that laugh he did sounds deadass good 😭😭 also it's so nice to just hear him talk about his experiences as va. i always enjoy when suwabe-san shares them. i hope more of his audios or interviews get translated. he's so funny too!

[@rubyrose49]

If I could marry Sukuna's voice, I will lmao Sukuna's voice is the best voice I've ever heard in my entire life so far. I've watched different clips of Junichi Suwabe's just to hear Sukuna. I only started watching JJK because of Sukuna. I'm obsessed with this man and his voice.🤤

[@Rin_Chawngthu]

Same, i want his voice as a blanket too

[@minnrijaee]

ME FR

[@msrspn]

1:19 man... this laugh is one of the most satisfying things

[@A_Clavicle]

its kind of like how Mark Hamill describes doing the joker laugh, you have to warm up a little to get the real deal

[@animefanzdomain9272]

Both voice are so good but sukuna is on higher level 😊

[@rubyrose49]

His voice is doing things to me!!!

[@69SUGOI]

bros edging my left ear

[@ChelleMT]

Suwabe-san is such a pro 🙇🏻‍♀️ forever amazed by his talent and dedication! Even my “natural” laughter is awkward 😂😅 granted i was never meant to be a VA

[@aobo_0]

2:48 personal timestamp

[@gama3040]

if we think that manga author's tell the characteristics of the character that the voice actor's gonna act, suwabe junichi has the most information about the sukuna's story besides gege. and he said "what he does is justice" about sukuna. that means that sukuna has some phylosophy behind him. he is not just a "HAHA IM EVIL" guy. (its just a theory, A FILM THEORY)

[@v2niee]

I love these Sukuna podcasts!!

[@rubyrose49]

I love how he's using his Sukuna voice. ❤

[@NichoNick]

That's just his voice LMAO

[@zepp1337]

I want this man to tell me a bedtime story

[@hopeworld9515]

He really just let out that HAHAHA so casually yet it sounded so good, truly mastered the skill 💯

[@asharmstrong1963]

🥹 thank you so much for these videos!

[@Ashley80005]

Of course, villains don’t think that they’re evil. They wouldn’t do half of the things they do, if they believed they were evil. That’s why Sukuna is one of the best villains. He’s just so unhinged!😂 I think it’s funny that Suwabe San got in trouble, for laughing too loud, when practising!😂 He’s probably the best at voicing villains, as a Seiyuu!😊❤✨

[@LICENFIREFEAR]

bruh hearing his voice actor talk makes me want to just hear more from sukuna🤩😎

[@novemberninth4392]

"Is he having fun?" "I bet he is." I really like how SuwaJun talks about the characters he voiced. It's like he's talking about a close friend.

[@deathcharge2186]

I really liked how he explained that he practiced laughter and the neighber went mad at the wall. So amazing must that have been to hear laughter at night and the neighber being like what are you laughing about so late at night

[@vincichen8604]

Man i loved Aomine Daiki

[@Rin_Chawngthu]

I fell in love with his voice after hearing him as Archer in Fate Stay Night

[@gunswordfist]

Laughing really is an art! I tried to let out a practice laugh and it was so embarrassing.

1:40 so villains = hyenas😂

[@edwardelric10001]

Suwabe san sounds like an agreeable sukuna here like sukuna is doing 🫶

[@etwrnity]

damn bro really just sounds like that

[@NichoNick]

I wish I had that handsome of a voice 😖

[@Flygonian]

I do remember that voice and he's from T.D Arby from JJBA and I knew it he's VA of Victor in Yuri on Ice.

[@Lulu-ut9pv]

Omg i will so marry him right now

[@rubyrose49]

Me too. We have such a large age gap but man that voice and personality. Istg.

[@kikaykimy]

Suwabe-san is funny! 😂😂😂

LUV HIM FOR THAT❤

[@tunabones5534]

I want him to talk to me while I fall asleep

[@GamerBunny2025]

If I heard an evil laugh next door, I would be afraid to tell at them!!

[@Ashley80005]

My favourite Suwabe villain laughs are Sukuna, Grimmjow, and Undertaker.😂

[@ArmandDler]

Wow too talking each other

[@mvster_roshiee]

I wonder if the laugh they are referring too is the laugh that we heard when we all saw sukuna vs mahoraga

[@krumdelakrum]

He does do villain laughs way too well. I think about Grimmjow's laugh daily 😌

[@Poodle_Pop]

Mr. Suave 😎 oh oh oh grabe

[@DraftTrap]

tbh only suwabe junichi and Enoki Junya sound naturally like their characters

[@Atulinter]

At first I think his neighbour yelling because scared 😂

[@dedqwum9327]

Still baffled by the fact that Mr. Nothing shares the VA with Sukuna, Suwabe-san has such a range.

[@yousufzubair]

He's fit for anime roles voice acting. He voiced lars in Tekken 8 and it sucks. But I'm not shitting on him, because he's a phenomenal voice actor who voiced characters like aomine daiki who is both serious and hilarious, sukuna who makes me shiver and Yami. And sooooooooo much more. He even voiced someone in MF Ghost. Idk who but it's this anime with licensed production cars.

[@kaos5633]

Dont forget hes Grimmjows va too

[@e-madart9420]

It was unfortunate that MCU Spider-Man didn't meet Venom, because Itadori's VA voices Tom Hollands Spider-Man, and Sukuna's VA voices Sony's Venom.

[@youyu1710]

sukuna y yuji cuando estan aburridos be like:

[@Oiki_chan1221]

Cant blame them tho, id shit myself if i heard someone laughing evilly (is that even a word)
