Project X Zone 2 FANDUB: Prologue 3 - "Dancers in Shadow"
pokejedservo for Hotsuma (Shinobi)
Leader of the Oboro clan, and current wielder of the Demon Blade "Akujiki".
Hotsuma works under the Shinobi Agency, giving him missions straight from the government. As head of the Oboro Ninja Clan, he was granted sole possession of Akujiki, a terrifying weapon that consumes the souls of its prey. However, this has meant Hotsuma's path is paved with the lives he's had to sacrifice to satiate Akujiki's hunger lest his own soul get consumed, including that of his own brother. The burden has caused Hotsuma to close himself off, making him distant and soft-spoken.
At the request of Kage Maru, Hotsuma makes his way into the closed off city of Shibuya to exchange information concerning Judgement 6's Dural. However, the city is closed for a reason, and Hotsuma soon finds himself crossing paths with other ninja from different points in time.
Voice Tips: As explained, Hotsuma past makes him come off as reserved and quiet. In comparison to Hiryu laconic nature, Hotsuma should be voiced more brooding and poetic, occasionally lapsing into soliloquies, and even expresses shock at certain points.
Voice Type: Medium Male
- fandub
- male young adult
(monologuing to himself) The closed city of Shibuya... Hmm. Interesting choice. He too must be one who walks the path of shadows. ...But still, something feels odd. All my investigations suggest this place is unstable, with mysterious connections to strange worlds. I shouldn't stay here long.
(to himself, questioning) Hibana... The name is completely unfamiliar--and yet this woman appears to know me? (out loud) I wasn't aware I had been hiding. And if it's Akujiki you're after, I have no intention of parting with it. Akujiki is a dangerous blade. I can't entrust it to anyone besides myself.
(About to enter battle; Resolute/Fierce) There's no longer any doubt. This portal really does connect to different worlds. In that case...what I have to do is clear. My mission starts now.
