ariachiba for Mulmangcho
Mulmangcho is a recurring antagonist since his introduction. He's exceptionally gifted compared to the rest of his kind, making him a dangerous foe to Flower Hill and a rival to Geumsaegi. However, like most villains, Mulmangcho is always doomed to fail throughout the series, thus making most respect for him by his superiors short lived. His main goal is to prove his worth to whatever faction he's in and to expose Guemsaegi as the Flower Hill agent he is to the Weasel Empire. Mulmangcho is characterized as both a complete jerk and a brilliant mind. He’s always been the type of character who’s always determined to win and can get up on his feet time after time again, no matter how much trust he lost or how horrifically his plans have failed. Because of that unyielding desire, he’s escaped death multiple times and continued to be a problem for Flower Hill up to the last known public episode.
Now, time for my opinion on how Mulmangcho should sound like! Using Wendee Lee’s Blanc and Akane as the ideal voices for Mulmangcho, I would suggest a more tomboyish voice for his character. High energy, determination, and explosion is a must in his more angered and excited emotions! Besides, as a character who just keeps coming back for more, be prepared with a voice that reflects his enthusiasm and will to keep moving. When Mulmangcho is in his moments where he makes snide remarks to show himself as the one with the upper hand and status, be prepared to incorporate a more snide tone with hints of having lack of respect for his enemies.
(For the first part of this excerpt, I’d like for you to perceive this as a crescendo, starting from sounding irritated and annoyed to the point where you’d yell in rage and throw physical tantrums. This will serve to see if you can reflect Mulmangcho’s absolute disgust for Flower Hill from sounding annoyed to wrathful.) You know, I’m truly getting fed up with you Flower Hill filth, even the sight of you shoots my anger up to its boiling point! I’m so fed up, I want to gouge out your eyes, sever your tongue, and butcher you until there’s nothing left of you but an ugly mangled corpse! (Now, a some screen time has passed, so you’ve at least regained a considerable amount of composure while Mulmangcho’s two friends were in the middle of giving their remarks. The direction now is that Mulmangcho will now highlight his ability to lead and call the shots, commanding them cease with their intentions and follow his lead.) No, now’s not time. We’ll bring her to Captain One-Eye first, then we’ll know what to do from there…
(Now, this is when Mulmangcho’s self-esteem and confidence is at its zenith, which can be shown in situations such as the success of his plans. Reporting to One-Eye, Mulmangcho is to sound very eager and excited to report the progress he’s made so far, desiring to impress the Captain.) Well, many of our men were caught in the process, but Poison Ivy managed to survive and smuggle some important data with him! ...Anything else, you bet! You won’t believe this, but I’ve successfully captured a Flower Hill agent, see for yourself!
(Even though this is suppose to be a show for kids, Mulmangcho was pressured into committing suicide. With this upcoming situation, I’ve chosen this as the third line to see if you can nail this one since I’ve already given one for both anger and confidence. For this line, Mulmangcho is being scolded for being tricked and a factor to why the Weasel Commander and Sturgeon was taken to Flower Hill.) I...I was just with him...you gave me permission, so…! (Mulmangcho is soon interrupted and threatened with gunshots across the room, so incorporate some whimpering in fear between this and the next line.) It was me, it was me! I don’t deserve to be here, I don’t deserve to live! (After saying that, he was given a gun to take his statement seriously, jumping and leaping in shock and fear.) P-Please no! I haven’t had my revenge on those Flower Hill lowlifes yet! I can’t die now! (In frustration, he moans as he throws his arms into the air in a fit, until he eventually submits) Fine...please have mercy on me when you’re writing on my tombstone!
