"We must find Dr. Wahwee!!!"
W-Megaman
Deez? Deez ah dee enahgee wesauces! But av nevah seen dis type on oith!
@@WilliamHungVEVO I bet W-megaman comes from the voice actor trying to say Rockman and then remembering he's doing the western version...
@@EdKolis or he fucked up and was about to say Wily.
@@EdKolis It was confirmed in an interview that the localizers accidentally deadnamed Megaman in the script and they had to reshoot that part and cheaply splice it in which is why it sounds so awkward.
WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOR
Dats a gud question
PootieWienerfish a better voice actor
LMFAO
Lucas Gilbertson was my favorote version of Zero. JYB was good, don't get me wrong but Gilbertson had the perfect speaking voice for Zero.
It's a damn shame that Lucas Gilbertson's redub of X4's infamous scene isn't on CZcams anymore. That was wonderful.
What are you talking about? I saw it yesterday and it's been on his YT channel for about a year now.
Is it really? I remember it being taken down years ago. If it's back up again, then that's great! I need to go re-favorite that. :D
"WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOORRRRR"
Kind a sounds like "ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUUURRRR"
GET TO THE CHOPPA
I love the Voice Clips from 8 and X4.
They are so bad.
DaneeBound just like having a power glove 😮
What do you mean X8 sucks
On Megaman X4 X’s voice is horrible and he sounded like a girl and it was acted by a girl
X8 was ok
Fredderick The Irregular Hunter lol, he meant normal megaman 8
We must find Dr. Warry!
Did you even see X7 voice acting
"U need to find all the enahgy wesouwces immediately w-Megaman."
Oh god, I lost it at the fangirl screams. xD
lol zack oh and do u want to play mario kart
I squealed along with them, especially with the Finland one
I died of laughter when I heard the screaming fangirls.
I always thought the Ruby Spears Mega Man sounded like Goku from DBZ. Glad to see that this video confirms it.
I'm not 100% certain, but i _think_ i heard Johnny's voice as Zero in the Nintendo Direct for Smash Bros. Ultimate yesterday. So I guess Capcom decided to keep him on as the new official voice of Zero.
Morgil Lucas Gilbertson really was the perfect casting for Zero. I hope if X9 ever happens we can get the X8 actors back. They really hit the ball out of the park with those.
I'm not going to lie I don't like Johnny Young Bosch as Zero. He sounds fine and all, but for Zero's character it just sounds really awkward. Zero's the only character in MVC3 that I actually switched the voice to Japanese.
Wow. I didn't know Sigma was voiced by Master Asia. I can seriously imagine the two of them shooting lasers out of their hands at each other.
LOOK! THE EAST IS BURNING RED
AlchemistCori Exactly! Followed by RYUUHA TOUHOU FUHAI WA, SEISHUN OUGI! SEKIHA TENKYOUKEN!!!!! Or something like that XD
SHINING FINGER!
Heck, X was voiced by Domon in the English version.
I know right, I knew about X, but I NEVER made the connection between Asia and Sigma.
My mind: Boom!
Holy crap, that Iris death scene redub...It's amazing how something that I've only been able to see as a narmy joke for so very long can suddenly sound so genuine.
Also, further proof that Johnny Young Bosch and Scott McNeil should just voice everything. Including the women.
Since I'm planning on becoming a voice actor in the future, this series is great for both American and Japanese voice acting trivia. Keep up the good work, Chris!
Another interesting piece of trivia to add: Shotaro Morikubo also went on to voice Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4.
Oh snap shotaro morikubo I thought I realized his lovely as Yosuke Hanamura in persona 4 I would say that Morikubo -san is my favorite 2nd favorite seiyuu thank you
I think Johnny might be my favorite voice of Zero.
And I can actually imagine a potential LA dub of the Mega Man franchise using voices like Lucien Dodge as Proto Man, Kyle Hebert as Dr. Light, and maybe Kira Buckland as Roll. Just wishful thinking, nothing big.
Making X's "Shining Finger" scene in Maverick Hunter all the more interesting. :)
Ugh hearing Zero's infamous scene makes me cringe each time.
***** Anything would sound more convincing than that.
***** OK that sounded significantly better. Seriously I could feel the emotion.
To be completely honest, this is where it comes down to personal opinion. I actually feel the "bad" aka the original version of X4s infamous scene is better, much better, I can actually feel and hear the emotion there, and lets be honest, in a traumatic scene, you're not going to keep a "professional" voice. A lot people don't seem to get that, the "new" version of it... feels a bit too forced, like hes just screaming to scream, I don't feel the sense of loss or pain, I just hear a guy screaming at the top of his lungs. :/ As I said though, its preference.
Whitemage Serenia The voice for Zero in the original was bad. The scream was awful to listen here. It sounded like that guy had never voice acted before, and changed the sound of his scream in mid-scream. If you're screaming at the top of your lungs it shouldn't differentiate in sound. This guy sounded like he didn't know how to scream. At least that's my opinion.
The new professional voice actor sounded much better because to me he sounded like how Zero should have sounded. And being a professional he didn't sound like he was forcing anything, because he's played Zero before and went back to do that scene on his own accord. He just sounded so much better and believable. Once again that's just my opinion.
However the best one is the Japanese voice actor. I don't even know what he was saying, but I could feel the emotion while he was talking and the scream sold it for me. He was very good.
I remember the voice acting in X4 wasn't that great. People criticised X's child-like voice (which felt more suitable for classic Mega Man) and Dr. Wily's voice during that short intro scene with Zero wasn't nearly as good as other Dr Wily voice actors. But the Zero/Iris scene tops the chart, lol.
You should a said that Jonny also voice acts Lelouche in the anime Code Geass who in the show becomes a vigilante with the alias "Zero"
Jonny's done TONS of voiceovers for anime and games, it's probably got it's own list somewhere on the 'net. Though two of my favorite roles I've liked him as was Guy from Tales of the Abyss and Adachi/Yu from Persona 4.
The mainstream gamer pertaining they don't like/watch anime, would probably know him better for his Power Ranger gig.
5:10 Holy shit! Given the fact that Zero's having a complete breakdown of everything he holds dear, that sounds pretty convincing.
Some of this info is wrong.
Showtaro Morikubo played X in X5 and X6, not just X7.
The Megaman Legends series had excellent voice-acting - really made me fall in love with the characters more.
As for Zero's "There's no reason for me to go on! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOR?!" it was so bad it was good.
I remember when Advent Children was announced and my sister and I were researching the Japanese VAs and we came across Sakurai's other roles.. 'ROCKMAN X - X' ... I FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT so bad...!!! XD Sakurai plays X in Project Cross Zone. :3
Lucas is also a great guy in general and gets involved in the Mega Man community all the time. If you go to Rockman Perfect Memories they have a small batch of clips he recorded as a welcome to their site in his Zero voice.
Johnny also COSPLAYS as characters he's voiced sometimes. Here's a picture of him cosplaying as Kiba from Wolf's Rain (who he also voiced.) www.cosplay.com/photo/277175/
Just to clarify Johnny Bosch played the second iteration of the American Black Power Ranger. The first actor was Walter Jones.
Also he voiced Vash the Stampede! And that was his first gig! That's a talented man right there.
Actually Shotaro Morikubo did actually voice X for Mega Man X5, X6 and X7, he was cast as both Dynamo and X, oddly enough, Mega Man X5 only had Voice Acting for X, Zero and Dynamo.
You made a small slip up. Dynamo was in X5 and X6, not X8.
Yeah sorry about that; I put up X6's boxart to try and rectify the mistake.
Christopher Niosi Shotaro Morikubo voiced X in X5 to X7, also singing X5's OP and X6's ED. He voiced Dynamo as an extra, he only said one line as the character. Nice video overall! Would've liked if you covered the MMNT and MMSF anime too, though :P
WHAT AM I FIGHTING *megaman x* FOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRR
lol Those fan girl screams..
"Megaman X and Sigma in X8 voiced by Gundam G's Domon Kashu and Master Asia"
*screams like a little fan girl*
When are you going to mention Andrea Libman who not only voiced Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie (Yes I know it's MLP, but it's still voice acting), but Andrea Libman also voiced Roll in the Mega Man OVA!
Loved the video, and a great spiritual spinoff of the Did You Know series :)
Mega Man was one of those shows I loved as a kid, and actually I've been wanting to track down some DVDs of it. Thanks for the reminder! ;)
Am I the only one who thinks scott mcneils Dr.Wily is the best thing ever?
+Stand User Sephy Me.
Stand User Sephy You're not the only one. Scott McNeil is awesome as Dr. Wily
Connor Terrell agreed
He finally got to reprise him one last time in the Puzzle Fighter app...which then got shut down not long after.
04:44 Mark Gatha. May he be remembered for his awesome role as X. I'm not saying that because he's dead, but because he retired.
Correct, he's a surgeon or something now.
Tony Sampson, voice of Eddy of EEnE also retired and works on oil rigs or something.
No matter how hard I've tried I could never find a picture of Mark Gatha. Good to finally see what he looks like.
Who else knew Johnny Yong Bosch from something that wasn't Power Rangers?
Excellent work, Chris! My bro and I remember those performances at best, and we love the Blue Water Studios dubs the best for the X series (though it's a shame that Mark Gatha retired from voice acting. He was perfect as X.)
I think you should make a next DYKVA of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sometimes. We would love to see some facts out of one of our childhood icons, like mention that the original VA of Raphael is now Donatello in the 2012 show. That'll be great.
Keep up the good work!
Yeah, Johnny's the best voice for Zero IMO. Thanks for doing this awesome series, Chris! I'm a big fan of Brawl Taunts and my dream is to be a voice actor for Funimation!
Doug Parker's voice is angelic...
I always thought Johnny Yong Bosch was the perfect voice for Zero. In some respect, he kinda reminds me of Ichigo from Bleach, who Bosch also voiced.
*fangirl scream*
Okay, that redub of that infamous scene was SLIGHTLY better, it STILL doesn't do it justice.
I like it how Johnny Young Bosch has voiced 2 characters named Zero. Lelouch's cover identity in Code Geass and Zero from MVC 3
I would love to see more DYKVA. You've been doing excellent work Kirbopher!
another amazing episode! But uh...when you mentioned Dynamo on the Jap side of things, you said the guys played him in X5 and X8, when it clearly showed X5 and X6...minor screw up though. I really look forward to these, its always great to learn about this stuff! VAs need more love.
I'm here from the _Rockman Corner_.
That was a pretty fun and fairly informative video! As Protodude mentioned, some of this is pretty common knowledge stuff, the stuff that wasn't (to me, at least) was especially interesting. I enjoyed the episode.
I would have left out the fact about Powerful Rangers and mentioned Johnny's more popular voice acting roles Ichigo Kurosaki from bleach and lelouch vi britannia form Code Geass
He has also voiced some others too, like Emil Rastagnier from Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World, Yukio Okumura from Blue Exorcist (good anime), Brock (Pokemon Origin anime), Johnny (Space Dandy), and Vash The Stampede (Trigun), I can say that he has done a lot and to be honest it was hard for me to remember what roles he had because there are a lot of things he did (which I thank google/wikipedia for helping me, also good for finding other voice actor/actress).
You're drunk if you think he's more known for those roles than he is for being in Power Rangers.
Johnny Yong Bosch is in everything it seems. Him and Troy Baker.
TouchpadNM Powerful Rangers is wack! Goushi is the true black mammoth Ranger; The Warrior of wisdom!
I got the Akibranger reference xD
At least in Mega Man: Upon A Star Dr. Light didn't say "Dr. Wahwee"
This was the most interesting did you know voice acting yet, Kirb! Keep it up!
The first zero cry sounds like Keldeo !
wow..when i contributed to giving behind the voices actors the voice compare clips for Megaman X i never thought i would end up being used to help out someone who im subscribed to on youtube XD
This is the first video I've seen on this channel and really liked it! I love voice acting information and I have a great respect for the profession. Definitely going to sub and like. Awesome stuff! :D
I knew X and Domon were the same voice actor's but I should have guessed Sigma was Also Master Asia! Johnny Boshe as Zero isn't too far fetched, he's played in a lot of Anime such as Devil May Cry's Nero, Bleach's Ichigo, and Trigun's Vash.
In the OVA dubs, Roll was voiced by Andrea "Pinkie Pie" Libman
Kirb's not a Brony so he probably would not have known or cared to inform the public.
TFLegendReborn Doesn't matter.
she was? And you're also forgetting that Andrea Libman voiced Fluttershy as well
darthvaderluigi And Emmy from Dragon Tales.
NintendoTV64 wow, didn't know that
Roger Rhodes, the dude voiced Vile in X8 and Maverick Hunter X, also voiced Neo America's Chibodee Crocket from G Gundam
That adds up to three Mega Man X characters that shared the same voice actors in G Gundam's dub
Nice episode. Learned a few things here and there.
Lucas is my favorite zero.
Shit was the absolute coolest when Blue Water studios directed the voice acting of X and Sigma in later games of X8, Command Mission, and Maverick Hunter X.
Closest thing I wanted to hear from X stating his buster shines with an awesome power.
4:56 WHAT! Oh my god I grew up on that and they did those voices!
How about a Did You Know - Pokémon? I wouldn't mind helping with research if you did do that one.
wish there was more on the Legends games :(
Next time. ;]
Christopher Niosi
Awswome! Not going to lie, was not expecting a direct reply from you the video maker. Anywho great work, just discovered your stuff tonight actually watched this the DBZ and the Sonic one so far. I liked them soooo subbed
Hold up. Ian James Corlett was also cast as Goku in DBZ's Saban dub. Does that mean Mega Man's charge blast counts as a Kamehameha wave?
I have no idea what is worse the original "What am I fighting for?" or the reacting.
Another fun fact: even though most of the X8 (Blue Water Studios) cast reprised their roles for Maverick Hunter X, Sigma was recast from Dave Pettitt to Gerald Matthews.
Also, Mark Gatha, the voice of X in those games, has retired from voice acting and is now working as a doctor. A shame, cause he was perfect as X. :(
If and when Mega Man makes a comeback, they should get Blue Water Studios again. Those guys were awesome. :)
For a suggestion on what to do next, perhaps a celebrity one, where you have a list of major and some fun trivia roles that celebrities have voice acted for, or take a single specific actor and talk about what they're done.
Oh wow, I didn't know the Boschmeister was the voice actor for Zero in MvC3, so cool!
That explains so goddamn much about why X4 and 8 had that kind of acting.
huh I didnt know that the Japanese voice actor for X was Cloud as well, also those freaking fangirl screams
Sigma is going to try and take over the world....WITH THE HELP OF KYOJI!!!!!!!!!!
Johnny Yong Bosch is probably best known to current audiences as Ichigo from _Bleach_.
He's in a fuck ton of anime these days.
He also plays Kiba in Wolf's Rain. I actually remember seeing pictures of him at a con COSPLAYING as Kiba... which was freakin' hilarious.
Johnny Young Bosch has been my favorite voice actor since Bleach first aired and Zero has been my favorite vg character since I first played MMX and MvC2 has always been one of my fav fighting games so you can imagine how over-stockd I was when his trailer for MvC3 was released
"Rockman - Wish upon a Star" looks like a perfectly translated anime from the games.
Lucas's take on the infamous cut scene does sound so much better.
Honestly the depiction of Dr.Wily in the Ruby Spheres Cartoon is great.
Very cool. :-) One extra tidbit; in addition to playing Zero and the black Power Ranger, Bosch was also the English dub voice for Vash the Stampede, the star of the anime Trigun.
Mega Man X7... Worst voice acting ever... of all time...
Agreed.
Ichigo Kurosaki was a Power Ranger?
Robyn Ross (voice of Roll) was probably well known to Nickelodeon/YTV audiences as Brooke Morgan on "Fifteen", or "Hillside" as it was known in Canada.
So I forget Krisbopher, what are you fighting for? Is it the SIGMA FINGER?!!! :D
5:13 - 5:23
CAN'T STOP LAUGHING
That was so utterly brilliant! :D
Here is a fact to make it come full circle Johnny Yong Bosch actually at a con did his own version of "What am I fighting for?" in song.
What would have been a real kicker for this is if the narrator mentioned that Ian Corlett's daughter voices Sweetie Belle in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This makes the Sweetie Bot meme a bit more interesting.
The white dude who took the mantle of The legendary Black ranger in the original MMPR was Zero in MVC3? Thats cool.
We must wecover all the voice actors immediately w-Christopher.
did you know that the voice actor for megaman in the Ruby spears cartoon later went to voice Andy Larkin from Whats with Andy, another canadian produced cartoon.
5:35 I was expecting him to say about ichigo and the black power and have the screen shake with more fan girls screaming xD
Don't you mean "Johnny Yong Bosch who we all know as the Black Ranger from Power Rangers and as Vash the Stampede from Trigun and as Emil in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World and as Ichigo from Bleach and as..." =P
Don't forget Lelouch from Code Geass.
And Nero from DMC4.
Also Tohru Adachi from Persona 4.
Mahir Sadman And also the main character of Persona 4 Yu Narukami.
Don't forget kiba from wolf's rain.
Oh great. Now my brain's gone all "My Mega Buster glows with an awesome POWER! Its burning barrel tells me to defeat you!"
Okay, you guys might get pissed at me, but I don't recall ever watching a full episode the MegaMan TV series in 0:04, only it's opening, memes, and small segments of the show. I only remember growing up with the Rockman OVA (Wish Upon A Star) and MegaMan NT Warrior.
I find it kinda cute that Mega Man has no voice in Smash 4, but his high-pitched Tails voice from the first animé sounds cool. :)
0:31 holy shit. Before Scott McNeil was Rattrap, Dinobot, Waspinator and Silverbolt from Beast Wars, he was Dr. Wily?
Dude, Kirb! These videos are awesome! Keep em coming!
Hey Chris, you know Johny Young Bosch also did the voice of Yu Narukami and Torou Adachi in Persona 4?
Zero: "What am I fighting _fooooooooooooooooooooor_?!!!!" *DING DING*
Chairy: "AHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhHHH!" *DING DING*
Globey: "AhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHH!" *DING DING*
Floory: "AHHHhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHH! *DING DING*
Mr. Kite: "AHHHhhhHHhhhHHHhhHHH! *DING DING*
*VRRRM-VRRM - VRRRRM-VRRRM*
Pee-Wee: "Heh, heh, heh!"
Ian James Corlett played Cheetor in the Beast Wars/Machines series as well. Don't know why that wasn't mentioned.
He also played Dinobot, Rattrap and Silverbolt.
Jonny Yong Bosch also voiced Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach), Emile Castagnier(Tales of Symphonia), and Firion(Final Fantasy Dissidia) to name a few
DYKVA Professor Layton? I'm sure you'd have fun w/ that xD
Ooh, that one would be tough, but possible...
Christopher Niosi
How about Phoenix Wright? It may be short but I think it might be worth it.
Toondude10 Ohh, PW would have some neat facts in it, like about Ben Judd and stuff.
"This guy as acquired abilities of the Reploids, with the help of..... 5:01 "
I had a feeling the Mega Man Legends voice acting was done in Canada, you can hear Mega Man say 'aboot' several times in the first game.
Johnny Young Bosh, every main character in anime for the past 5 years or so. Ichigo Kurosaki, Lelouche vi Britania, that guy from Blue Exorcist, etc etc etc...
I'm amused that most of the voice actors got shout out to other famous jobs they've done but not Ian who's probably the second most famous voice actor in this line up voiced Goku in the early dub of DBZ, Bob in Reboot, Cheetor in Beastwars to list a few.
You also forgot to mention that Takahiro Sakurai also voices Jonathon Joestar from Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure.
Also in your opinion would say Megan Man X command mission is more a side game or epilogue in the X series since they just ended in order to focus more Mega Man Zero. Though production for both series were bit hard to determine at times due fan demand for X. Since it was implied that 6 was the finale since Zero is seen entering a capsule which would have lead to Mega Man Zero.
Music
0:00 Cutman's Theme
2:30 It sounds like Quickman's theme to me.
3:18 YO, GEEKY! (It's Clown Man's theme)
5:04 Elecman's Theme
Actually at 2:30 it's an 8-bit version of SlashMan's theme
@@disastrousabsolite Thanks
