My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission Review - 8 Ups & 2 Downs

6. Up: The Voice Acting (Dub And Sub)

My Hero Academia Rody Soul Pino
Funimation

This has been a long known fact among anime fans, but the voice work in My Hero Academia has been consistently fantastic throughout both the original Japanese language and its English dub counterpart. Part of the great localisation to English is how the fairly Americanised main plot of the anime lends itself to sounding natural with English VAs, and part of it is just the quality of the Funimation voice actors's performances.

The voicework is strong as ever in the film, with the by now enormous returning cast giving their all in the exciting, action-packed, yet surprisingly soulful story.

Newcomers such as Ryo Yoshizawa (Gintama Live Action) in the original Japanese and Ryan Colt Levy (Moriarty the Patriot) in the English dub as Rody Soul are charming and memorable, making you wish you could see more of this character in the future (even if that's unlikely to happen).

Even if the character didn't live up to expectations, the voicework behind villain Flect Turn was impeccable, with Kazuya Nakai (One Piece) and Robbie Daymond (Persona 5 Royal) making him feel like an intimidating presence throughout.
