Characters & voice actors

Tobio

Predicted dub name: Tony (Kenji-girl likely has it right)

VA: Tom Wayland

Actual name: Toby

Actual VA: Eli James

Thoughts: Kenji-girl did have it right, just not in the way I expected.

Robert

Predicted dub name: Robert

VA: Billy Bob Thompson

Actual name: Robert

Actual VA: Tom Wayland

Thoughts: Name was obvious, but one week off on Wayland. Oh well.

Koharu

Predicted dub name: Cathy

VA: Leah Clark

Actual name: Katharine

Actual VA: Kerry Williams

Thoughts: Right around the name, but for the VA... that sure isn't a name I ever thought I'd hear again.

Bobby

Predicted dub name: Bobby

VA: Vic Mignogna

Actual name: Bobby

Actual VA: Darren Dunstan

Thoughts: In hindsight, Mignogna was a bad call. I really should remember Darren Dunstan more often though now that he's back.

Charles/Kaiketsu A☆Gilder

Predicted dub name: Swift Knight Ace☆Celgor

VA: Crispin Freeman or Christopher R. Sabat

Actual name: The Mighty Accelguard

Actual VA: Dan Green

Professor Tsuraraa/Freege Man

Predicted dub name: Dr. Freeze/Cryogo-Man

VA: J. Michael Tatum

Note: I really wanted to put Professor Subzero as a prediction relating to another Schwarzenegger movie, but a Batman reference is far more likely to actually happen.

Actual name: Doctor Ferrara/Cryogonal Man

Actual VA: Joe Rodriguez

Thoughts: Interesting that they went for a sound-alike name to "Tsuraraa" instead of a translation. Cryogonal Man was predictable.

Yūto

Predicted dub name: Hugo

Mile

Predicted dub name: Miles

VA: Bill Tost

Actual name: Miles

Actual VA: H.D. Quinn
