Not casting Hōchū Ōtsuka as Kashin Koji seems like a massively missed oppurtunity in my opinion, especially considering he's spoiler[a clone of Jiraiya.]

Ah well, we'll see how Nakamura handles him.

That would literally be too obvious. It’s supposed to be a major reveal so I get why they’d want to disguise it for the anime-onlies.

While it might be obvious, it's not like it hasn't been done before in other animes. Besides, even though he's spoiler[a clone], he doesn't talk or give off the vocal traits/tones that spoiler[Jiraiya] did. So having the same Seiyuu would be fine in my opinion.

The last time an Uchida voiced a Naruto character was Madara Uchiha.

How is this anime over 170 episodes already and just now getting to where the manga is currently at some 50 chapters?

Yuma should be a good fit for Kawaki, especially for that kind of role.

The Khara all get big names, as to be expected. You hardly hear from Houko Kuwashima anymore so it's great to see her as Delta.

Because they don't want to catch up to the manga.

Well that and they want to give more depth to the characters and the world building.
