+JohneAwesome I find that Matthew goes above and beyond the call of simply telling you to do something. One of the many reasons why I respect him so goddamn much.
I went to a con and had Troy baker sign my P4 and after that he told me to get bent in Kanjis voice. You wouldn't believe on how shocking it is to be told to get bent my kanji :3
+KaiserGreyRS Holy shit I JUST found out! (I know, mega super late, but I hardly care for English VA, and even barely know a handful of Japanese ones) I've been playing P4G and P4DAN and I seriously thought it was the same voice actor. Maybe my ears suck for not noticing, but goddamn Matthew is pretty amazing because to me he sounds exactly like Kanji.
Matthew Mercer, god tier voice actor!!! Great replacement for Troy, he nailed it as Kanji. His voice is so similar to Troy's at times it felt like Troy Baker was talking. He immediately became one of my favorite voice actor as he constantly did great voice acting. The voice actor for some of my favorite characters in gaming, he was great as Leon in Resident Evil 6, Kanji in the Persona games after Arena, Walter in SMT 4 and last but certainly not least Alvin, my bro, in Tales of Xillia 1 and 2.
Man, I love Matthew Mercer. I met him at Super Arcade last year and he was the most pleasant and down to earth guy I've talked to in a while. Matthew Mercer will always be on the top of my VA list. GO MATTHEW MERCER!
I was worried when Troy Baker was first being replaced, but Matt Mercer knocked it out of the park. He is so great as Kanji my friend swore it was Troy Baker in Dancing All Night until i told him it was Matt Mercer. He was in disbelief that he sounded so similar.
I love both of kanji's va's and i heard persona q kanji and knew it was someone different and even had to replay the sound clips over and over to make completely sure. So props to Matthew Mercer he did an amazing job with kanji's voice.
As a fan of Persona and Matt himself I feel so happy that i managed to meet him at this years katsucon, such a great experience. The man is such a bro. Hope to meet the rest of the persona cast someday :)
Im really surprised at how much Matt and Troy sound alike. As Kanji, their vocals are so similar, but even in reality, their voices sound really close to each other. Matt's is a little less harsh--Troy's has more of a smoker's timbre--and he speaks just a touch faster, but the depth and style are almost exactly the same.
Anyone else realize he also took over for Troy on Naruto with Yamato? Didn't realize til I was playing Bioshock Infinite and thought it was Mercer but it turned out to be Baker.
I feel bad for not noticing that both Naoto and Kanji got new VA's which means they did a good job but means I didn't pay enough attention to minute details.
Can't believe this is the same person that did the voice for Ryoma, Shigure, Azama, Mccree, Gangplank, Alvin, Chrom, Rexxar, and Kindred. Goddamn. That's like, 7 (including Persona) games out of the few hundred I like
It shouldn't be the same person replacing all of Troy's roles, and even Matt has begun moving away from filling in for Troy's roles. He turned down Yuri because he doesn't want to be stuck with being a Budget Baker. It wouldn't have really fit anyway.
And now, years later, after he built his clout and sphere of influence…he actively lobbies and raises money for charities to get kids the opportunity to experience the performing arts for themselves. Reason #…aw hell I’ve lost count, why I admire the man and love following the success of Critical Role. It’s being handcrafted by the artists themselves, directly. Not a megacorporation making content “for the fans.” They’re extremely talented people getting paid to let their creativity run wild in a variety of ways. We come to CR for the D&D, but all THAT is what we stay for. Matt is a huge part of all of that.
I really want Matt Mercer and Troy Baker to meet at a con and have a scene with old Kanji arguing with new Kanji
+Broly-Chan They both need to do their Shadow impersonation as well.
TB:"GET BENT!"
MM:"GET BENT!"
TB&MM:"(Shadow Kanji line here)"
I could hardly hear the difference between both voice actors.
+Broly-Chan Yes or I wanna see a them go Shadow Kanji vs Kanji xD
+Broly-Chan Yeah but it would just sound like kanji's talking to himself
really appreciated the VA voice advice Matthew gave, wasn't necessary but I felt it was really helpful to hear that from a established actor
+JohneAwesome I find that Matthew goes above and beyond the call of simply telling you to do something. One of the many reasons why I respect him so goddamn much.
You should totally be one. Like no kidding. Atlus check this guy out

YES. For the love of anything, put JohneAwesome in a Persona game.

LUCKY!
SO LUCKY!
What’s the con called?
what does bent in kanji voice? Is that meant bent like sexually?
@@Secretxxx67 No lol, 'get bent' means 'fuck off'
Matt Mercer is objectively best girl.
You sayin' I like dudes?
@@impboi6231 *yes*

The voice of Yusuke kitagawa
and Jesse mccree from overwatch aha
and Jotaro Kujo

Troy as Kanji was really awesome, but Matthew does not disappoint; he took on the role really well. :)

+yakurimoe trust me....you'll notice in the anime after episode 12, Matt just learned to stop forcing it
I had no idea there have been two actors to portray kanji how many games or anime did Troy and Mathew do?

+Minato Arisato Oh yeah, I really need to start playing that game before P4 DAN comes out. Nice, he even got to do voice acting in Danganronpa.
Canım Türkiyem If I wasn’t told beforehand, I don’t think I’d have ever figured out they changed voices.
And now Yusuke along with Sigma from VLR
Well ZTD
Would be nice to hear him say "GEEET BENT!"
+DV THE FOX BECAUSE I......LOVE.....WOMEN!!!!!
Mercer is super solid. Great replacement since Baker went Hollywood lol
Mercer could go Hollywood
Both of them could be everywhere and everything. They'll rule the universe of VA together! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Man, I love Matthew Mercer. I met him at Super Arcade last year and he was the most pleasant and down to earth guy I've talked to in a while. Matthew Mercer will always be on the top of my VA list.
GO MATTHEW MERCER!
He does a GREAT job! I never noticed his VA changed until a few months ago lol
I wanna hear him do the "Get Bent Get Bent Get Bent" from the HimiDaisy Comic Parody Dub XD
Kagamine Rianne
YOU SAYIN I LIKE DUDES?!
Matt is a fucking boss. It's always a pleasure to hear him in any game. He definitely succeeded in keeping Troy Baker's version of Kanji consistent.
D-Man "pleasure" OwO
Does anyone else notice that whatever role Troy Baker can't do, Matthew Mercer picks up the role and brings LIFE INTO THE CHARACTERS! Yup.
*Ahem* Yuri Lowell *Ahem*
Kanji is love. Kanji is life.
I was worried when Troy Baker was first being replaced, but Matt Mercer knocked it out of the park. He is so great as Kanji my friend swore it was Troy Baker in Dancing All Night until i told him it was Matt Mercer. He was in disbelief that he sounded so similar.
Hes kanji and yusuke in the persona series... wow
Why is he so hot? Help
DEEP IN THE REALMS OF BROMANCE
Damn, Matthew Mercer even sounds like Troy Baker when he talks normally. I'm starting to believe that we now have cloning technology.
Matthew sounds so much like Troy.
We love you Matthew!
baby baby baby baby
🎼Ahh yeees!
But you're still a door.
Fuck off
Let me be
***** ;-;
Good looks, hot voice, damn master race being. Him and Troy Baker,,,
It's high noon

Looking good John :D!!

matthew, thank you for your amazing preformance, you truly have brought this amazing character to life :)
I love this man! This legend voiced Yusuke Kitagawa best boi of P5
Absolutely adore Matt. He is amazing and he did a fantastic job with Kanji. Definitely hope I get to meet him one day :)
Sad Troy Baker couldn't still be Kanji, but he's a great replacement. No complaints.

Matt's is a little less harsh--Troy's has more of a smoker's timbre--and he speaks just a touch faster, but the depth and style are almost exactly the same.
HEY YOU ARE NOT TRO.......oh.....nevermind lol you did a great job Matt
I absolutely love these videos. Keep them coming please!!! :D
I started watching critical role on UA-cam and his voice acting makes him a great choice for a dm
Also the chaos he puts the other players through.
Him and troy baker sound like each other.
My first time hearing Matt as kanji I thought it was troy.
Same here
Anyone else realize he also took over for Troy on Naruto with Yamato? Didn't realize til I was playing Bioshock Infinite and thought it was Mercer but it turned out to be Baker.
Im just gonna say this. I did seriously not notice a difference between voice actors
Yusuke Kitagawa?!
Yeah, they are the same VA. Pretty cool that he is two characters from P4 and P5
@@foxmcfog7809 If only PQ2 had a dub as, being Emperors, I wouldn't doubt that Kanji and Yusuke talk to each other quite a bit.
behold the guy who voiced my husbando in FE awakening
Yusuke is my favorite character in Persona 5
Troy nooooo!!! Guess Baker is too busy cuddling with Nolan North recording Uncharted 4.
Why am I only seeing this 3 years later
I feel bad for not noticing that both Naoto and Kanji got new VA's which means they did a good job but means I didn't pay enough attention to minute details.
Also, Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 6
trcsonic dooood
Matt could so cosplay Kanji. O.O
kanji best waifu
It's okay, mr. Mercer, your voice is basically the exact same as Baker's. You're fine.
I LOVE HOW HE VOICES 2 OF MY FAVOURITE GAME CHARACTERS, MCCREE AND KANJI
i cant wait for more P5 news at TGS
He's stepped into the role well, good on you M&M
Can't believe this is the same person that did the voice for Ryoma, Shigure, Azama, Mccree, Gangplank, Alvin, Chrom, Rexxar, and Kindred. Goddamn. That's like, 7 (including Persona) games out of the few hundred I like

Matt Mercer is the best!
Wish i can say the same for Rise, it's somewhat there, but that's stretching it, if they need an actual replacement, they should get Alexis Tipson
I wish he had voiced the new lines for Yuri in Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition
It shouldn't be the same person replacing all of Troy's roles, and even Matt has begun moving away from filling in for Troy's roles. He turned down Yuri because he doesn't want to be stuck with being a Budget Baker. It wouldn't have really fit anyway.
I just realised how well Matt does kanji’s voice I actually believed it was Troy for it bit
If only all the voice changes could be as smooth as Matt's replacement of Troy.
He looks as mischievous and rogue as Kanji, wow
Kanji is the Prince of Ylisse
Bro thats Mcree
expecting to see the voice actor dance lol
Yay, Banjo Kazooie's voice actor!
Rip Troy Baker.
His voice was perfect for kanji
I wasn't going to buy it.
But then I saw this.
I'm buying it.
fhehbfhuw I love Kanji so much ;-;
Matthew Mercer is the sole reason I finished Tales of Xillia.
Mcree get out of here. Oh, my bad, Yusuke
Solid dude.
Matthew as kanji just fits
Omg I didn't know that Mat Mercer was Kanji!!! Omg
Kanjusuke!!
You mean to tell me Jesse McCree is Kanji Tatsumi and Yusuke Kitagawa?!! MADNESS

Kanji: hey! hands off the penguin! its mine!
I wonder if this THE project that nearly got matt arrested. (he was in japan on a tourist visa but was working)
Troy and Matt sound similar
Fuuuuck... I want 2.0 so bad right now
It's highnoon
*insert le epic and hilarious HIGH NOON XDDDDD joke here*
Child friendly rewrites? The game is based on an M-rated title!!!! Why this
I actually didn't know Matt was the voice of Kanji lol.
He's a replacement. Troy Baker is the original VA.
+ToastTheThird Wow Two things I didn't know, and I love the persona series...
+BladeNinja009 Baker was Kanji in the original, Golden, and half of the Animation, with Mercer taking over the rest. Both do a great job :)
Everytime he talks I hear like 20 characters
Alvin in Tales of Xillia.
Dude I had no idea Matt voiced Kanji
He even LOOKS like a substitute Troy Baker.
Benjamin Swain Idk, I think Matthew is slightly more handsome. :) Must be that fabulous hair.
YUSUKE
Matt Mercer and Troy Baker sound the same but after Blazblue Kanji and Persona Q Kanji you can clearly hear it's Matthew Mercer
Could this video be why Matt doesn't have a video about Yusuke?
"My Kanji is a little different..."
"A little too not-child friendly"... When the hell has the Persona series ever been child friendly? Good interview nonetheless.
Two Emperor roles for Matt.
ITS HIIIIIIIGH NOOOOOON!
Mercer and Baker looks so similar to me......
Omg mat the dm is kanji woot
