Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Fandub: Yuma Vs. Shark I
AnimeIsKindaCool for Astral
Character Description: Astral is a being from the Astral World, who has lost his memories. This results to him being quite literal with everything told and provided to him and becoming curious with a lot of things throughout the world. Despite the memory loss, he does retain one skill: Dueling. He becomes Yuma’s teacher/guidance throughout his duels and helps hone Yuma’s skills to a better level. Astral’s goal is to find all of the Number cards, which should help restore his memory.
Voice Description: Because of his curiosity and celestial appearance, Astral will have a sort of majesty to his voice. Speaking in a rather unique way and emphasizing or extending the speech of certain words in his sentences. For reference, look up Marc Thompson’s portrayal of Astral. A similar sort of voice to his performance would be ideal. If there is a fandub in the future, it would be helpful if the voice actor could keep the same tone of majesty but twist it into sort of a crazy manner. This is because Astral does have a dark counterpart, who is a little more expressive and free in his speech than Astral. If the voice actor can't do this, then that is not a problem at all! I just thought it would be cool to have two characters, who are the same person but just differentiated as good and evil, be voiced by the same person!
Astral has just appeared in the human world. He knows nothing about his surroundings except for the fact that he's in a duel, and the person, whose team he's on, is losing. This prompts him to demand Yuma to keep fighting.
"Rise up. Rise up...and win."
Upon scanning his surroundings, Astral comes upon a conclusion after he analyzes Number 17: Leviathan Dragon.
"Numbers. Something is telling me that the key to my memories resides within that monster. If that's the case, then I need to win this duel no matter what.
Yuma turns and questions Astral's ability to duel, which prompts Astral to answer confidently.
"Of course. After all, I'm a Duelist."
(Director's Note: "Xyz" is pronounced "Exceez". Like the word "Exceed" but replace the letter "D" with "Z" instead.)
After letting Yuma take over the driver's seat for the duel, Astral realizes that his life is at stake and proceeds to strictly instruct Yuma on what to do, in order to prevent himself from disappearing.
"Use 'Monster Reborn' to revive Gagaga Magician from the grave. I cannot allow myself to disappear from existence. Please believe in me!"
Yuma summons out Gagaga Magician from the graveyard.
"With this, our strategy will work. Now Overlay your Level Four Gagaga Magician and Ganbara Knight."
Astral proceeds to confirm Yuma's assumptions about the upcoming combo.
"Take a look at your Extra Deck. It's the Xyz Monster, Number 39: Utopia!"
Yuma asks Astral "This is a Number Monster?!"
"Correct. This is the power I entrust to you. Use it wisely,"
Your tonal switch between Astral and your Yuma audition is impressive! You have a nice majesty to your voice as well!
Thanks
