NARUTO Manga Fandub - MAIN CHARACTER CASTING
Zilla for Shikamaru Nara
A ninja of the hidden leaf that possesses genius level intellect. Shikamaru is naturally a lazy person and his inclination is to do as little work as possible. As an Academy student and even during his early career as a genin, Shikamaru is able to get away with this, spending his days sleeping, watching the clouds, or playing games of shōgi and Go. He is a member of Team 10 alongside Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi. Asuma Sarutobi is his sensei.
[SHIKAMARU'S RESOLVE; Chilled, Relaxed, Calm]
"Laziness is the mother of all bad habits. But ultimately she is a mother and we should respect her."
[SHIKAMARU'S ASPIRATIONS; Chilled, Calm, Hopeless, Yearning for A Simpler Time]
"Someday, I just want to marry a regular girl who isn't too ugly and not too pretty. Have two children, first a girl, then a boy. Retire after my daughter is married and my son becomes a successful ninja, and spend the rest of my life playing shōgi or Go. Then die of old age before my wife."
[TO HIS TEAM; Inspirational, Committed, Dedicated, Prepared]
"Regardless of our limitations, we can always be of some use. Our power may seem insignificant... but it may just prove to be useful in the grand scheme of things. Stay focused. Never avert your eyes, because if an opening arises, even our insignificant power may be enough to determine the fate of the world. Which is why everyone must stay alert and ready to strike at any moment!"
Totally nailed the energy here! I also really like this take on his voice! Good luck with this one!
Thank you! Was originally gonna use this voice for Kakashi but I think this one was better for Shikamaru instead :)
