One of the recent episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 made a lot of noise after its release as it showed Kento Nanami in a badass form while fighting Haruta, one of the antagonists while saving Nobara and taking revenge for his subordinate Ichiji. The episode premiered on October 12, 2023. From the initial scene, in which Nanami walks up the stairs, until the final scene, in which Yuji is restrained by Choso, episode 12 far outperforms all prior episodes.
Even though the episode was unpleasant to see, fans went insane for an entirely different reason. Fans were impressed by the manner Nanami Kento vented the rage he experienced while watching the dead bodies of his subordinates on Shigemo Haruta. Although the animation of the scene was the thing most of the fans fell in love with, the most impactful thing of that scene was Nanami’s VA Kenjiro Tsuda who put his heart and soul into this scene.
Kenjiro Tsuda The Voice Actor of Nanami Kento
Kenjiro Tsuda is a Japanese actor, voice actor, and film director. He is a well-known anime voice actor well recognized for his dark and passionate characters. While he has played characters in games, movies, radio, and theatre, he’s often best known for his many prominent roles in anime like Isshiki Ōtsutsuki – Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Kishibe – Chainsaw Man, Atomic Samurai – One Punch Man, Hannes – Attack On Titan, Overhaul (Kai Chisaki) – My Hero Academia, Joker – Fire Force, Tatsu – The Way Of The House Husband, and many more. But it’s his performance as Nanami Kento in Jujutsu Kaisen that has perhaps gotten him the most praise.
His voice fits perfectly for the role, and his performance in the recent episode left many people speechless and terrified including the voice actor of Haruta, Wataru Hatano.
Haruta Shigemo’s Voice Actor Got Scared While Watching Kenjiro Tsuda’s Performance
In a tweet posted on X by @JJK_Mya, it was revealed that in Ep-12, Nanami’s VA Kenjiro requested that the fight scene in which Nanami is pounding Haruta while asking him about his colleagues be retaken. The retake ended up making Nanami sound scarier than the original take. Haruta’s VA claimed that he was terrified watching Tsuda san control his rage while performing. Fans were both terrified and stunned watching Tsuda’s performance as Nanami and they filled the entire social media with his praise and his dedication to his work.
Nanami was already a fan-favorite character and his recent scene in episode 12 with Tsuda’s voice made him more popular among the entire anime fanbase. Fans are now eagerly waiting for Namani’s return in the upcoming episode to watch him break the internet again.
