When it came to maintaining their characters’ chemistry through line delivery, the My Hero Academia voice actors said ultimately it has been business as usual given that they’re still able to riff off other actors’ previously recorded audio. Luckily for the voice-acting community, working from home was already an initiative that was in effect before the pandemic, with many anime from the past few seasons being dubbed from the safety of the actors’ homes. While the characters in the film had to overcome a global crisis in the form of Flect Turn, their voice actors had to tackle one of their own when it came to bringing their characters to life, either in a hybrid studio setting or working from home in their own booths. Endeavour’s “glacial pace” at improving not only himself and his relationship with Shoto provided “sweet payoff” for Seitz. Endeavour’s BS is a part of Shoto’s BS ‘cause that’s the parent-child dynamics since the dawn of time,” he said.Īlthough subtlety is not a virtue of his, Seitz said playing Endeavour has been a rewarding experience for him. “Shoto and Endeavour both are not open books. Matranga said fans will see the character a bit freer and more confident in his ability not only in using his powers but in communicating with his teammates.įor Seitz, seeing their characters work on improving themselves in the show proper pays off in dividends in World Heroes Mission in subtle ways that are deserved for both father and son. That’s sort of the same thing with Endeavour,” Seitz said.Īlthough Matranga didn’t go through the same conflict of being forced into becoming a child prodigy like Shoto, he relates to the character in that they both live inside their own heads and can be hard on themselves while pursuing their ambitions. “You’re like, ok, here was a dude that was trying his best imperfectly and you can take it or you can leave it. Shoto and Endeavour’s relationship felt like “bingo” for Seitz, allowing him to see the “squares” he’d covered in his own life and the squares he would have to portray in Endeavour and Shoto’s relationship.This provided him moments of introspection regarding when he and his father didn’t see eye-to-eye. When it comes to tumultuous relationships that have had heightened emotions as the season has developed, one relationship that rivals that of Deku and Bakugo is that of the new number-one hero Endeavour and his son Shoto.ĭavid Matranga and Patrick Seitz, voice actors for Shoto and Endeavour, said they informed their portrayals of the pair’s raucous relationship from their lived experiences with their fathers. “Going from someone who’s so antagonistic, especially towards Deku, so abrasive and difficult for his classmates at the beginning of the series we’ve seen him be humbled and have to learn how to work together with other people,” he said. “That was the only way I could really give Rody what he needed.” “Even though I’ve adored the show for so long, kind of turn off my fanboy brain and let myself just exist in this thing and let it be spontaneous,” Levy said. It makes our job a lot easier.”įor Levy, it was easy to bring Rody to life because he said they shared odd similarities - which he didn’t elaborate on - that let him feel his way through portraying the sun-kissed hero without thinking too much about how he sounded while doing so. Thankfully these characters are wonderfully fleshed out the writing’s really enjoyable. “For us as newbies, that’s a gift because we just get to be a part of that and ride that arc out. “I think the coolest part about being in the films from an aspect of being thrust into a larger world as a whole is that it tells a nice little self-contained story,” Daymond said. Series newcomers Ryan Colt Levy and Robbie Daymond, who play Rody and Flect respectively, said they felt right at home joining the cast in portraying their characters on the big screen.
