Oh wow I know people wanted him to be voiced acted by Nobuhiko Okamoto but I didn't expect that they would change the voice actor (Umehara Yuichirou) from the vomic.

YEEEESSS!!

HOLY SHIT, YESSSSS!! MY BIGGEST WISH!!

Man, I literally screamed out so hard and suddenly that I just got dizzy. I'd sit down, but I'm already sitting. Oh sheesh.

Thank goodness, though. The VA in the vomic sucked, and I can't imagine any VA more fitting for Bakugou than Okamoto.

I know an idol will be crying from Umehara Yuichirou being omitted, but hell yes, OkaNobu is an awesome VA. Especially in this kind of shounen shows...

I'm not familiar with his voice so I'll have to check out some voice clips of roles he has done. Was kinda hoping for Umehara again but you can't have everything.

Roles he's played relevant to Bakugou's pitch:

-Accelerator, A Certain Magical Index
-Okumura Rin, Blue Exorcist
-Yū Nishinoya, Haikyuu!!

Those are just the three I can think of when it comes to the range he'll use to play Bakugou. He's played plenty other great roles, like Nizuma Eiji in Bakuman.

Aww, why? NobuRin is a great VA but Ume-chan was so good in the vomic...or am I the only one who feels that way? Sad

I was expecting him, he fits Bakugou perfectly. I couldn't imagine another VA fitting him better.

I just checked him out and I think he is a good choice for the roll; especially if he will sound anything like Rin or Accelerator. I still prefer Umehara if I'm honest, but like Kenta with All Might, he will do a great job.

Laughing If this means he gets punched in the face alot and the whole thing ends with someone literally getting blown to bits then I'm all for it.

Any actor from Ace of Diamond and I'm extremely happy. My god the casting so far is perfect. I'm asking a lot but fingers crossed for a new pv at Jump Festa. At least new staff announcements. So curious to see who's on OST, all I can think of at the moment is MoNACA. Regardless this is looking great
