damn. takumi is a really well developed character, after seeing this drama CD, i love him as a character a lot more... what a shame, i wished the game show more of this
A lot of Japanese voice actors are able to put way more emotion into their voices, whether its anime or games. English voice actors suffer the idea that they are more or less overriding the original voice that went here. Very few English voice actors can deliver similar passion.
Axis yeah but to care for the character the writer must give a good story to care so it takes multiple people to make a character shine. with every little detail and information
ivanbluecool And you are now seeing how much love, care, and utter cruelty has been placed here. Let's face it, we're all a bunch of sadists. To make a good story, we NEED the characters to suffer and such. To love Takumi like this to such an extent, we had to have him suffer as he was right now. And the voice actor had to actually try and make himself feel Takumi's pain.
Noticed a little script error. 0:52 has Takumi saying "Stop in, Corrin!" when its obviously meant to be "Stop it, Corrin!" Its a bit of a lame excuse used here on why Corrin can turn into a dragon, using legends and stories that only a select few can, but hey, I'll give points for the storywriters trying something. Oh man, hearing how Takumi's voice was there when he yelled at Corrin really got me. Not sure what Takumi lashing out at Azura was for, saying that she's the same as Corrin, but maybe I can chalk it up to Takumi just lashing out at anyone that was coming to Corrin's defense there, and given that Takumi had a hard time getting along with Azura, it fits. Seeing how Corrin just up and GETS the Yato annoys me still to no end. It's stupid and ruins the concept of someone trying to EARN legendary weapons. But seeing Takumi's reactions to it was rather nice, where just that brief moment, Takumi wanted to trust Corrin. But oh man, I get that because this is the "Birthright" track and stuff, but Birthright is really just AFTER siding with Hoshido. This is still the Prologue more or less. Meaning that this happens even if this was going for Conquest, meaning that Takumi, just after trying and considering trusting Corrin, gets a MAJOR punch in the face/stomach/dick when Corrin sides with Nohr.
Takumi's anger is justified, but it's still bratty. This is not about trust, this is just simple sibling jealousy. That's what's at the root of their issues. However, I do like that we now know that his attitude isn't one-dimensional. He actually had second thoughts rather than irrational anger. I appreciate that.
@bitterorange7843 did you not see the other ones though he also if I’m correct clearly is jealous when their long lesson bling returns and instead of himself their long last sibling is the one with their oldest brother is going to protect their sisters and is questioning his self worth and believes that if his long loss sibling had not been kidnapped his Secret weapon would’ve chosen his long will a sibling instead of himself
This is really great. I appreciate you going through all this work to put these videos up. Many of us watching probably wouldn't be able to read/listen to it if you didn't do it :)
@@NintendoGirl49 Yeah, But It's not Full Dub like Three Houses or Echoes They Only Speak in Cutscenes, In regular dialogue They usually Just say something random
Before fire emblem fates. Takumi is a dick and the only unlikable character not to grovel to kamui. After game release. Places number 1 on most liked characters. After cd audio. Becomes main character in the first 6 chapters. Now. Greatest character in fates and all of fire emblem. I side with takumi. Kamui did mess a lot of things up but takumi tried to understand him
There is no way anyone should fault his anger, aggression, hatred, and hostility towards Corrin anymore, and in fact should find him justified. As for greatest character in all of Fire Emblem, not 100% on that side, cause some of the Awakening Drama CDs had me seriously feel for those characters just as much, but still, Takumi is high up in there.
Axis I like all the awakening characters and the children are written better than fates as the kids have a plot in the main game and fates are in their own spin off. both are good. but takumi is not the main character and has a better story than most main characters. ike is an exception Marth was better before he was mainstream. eliwood is better than Marth as he saw both his father and wife die. Erika sucks. ephriam is great but one shade. seliph and his dad are OK. alm is good. chrom grows as a person and I feel as a substitute anri. anri is cool but has no game. xane is complex. medues is great as a villain as he has a good reason to fight. kamui is not really good as he does fail protecting his family in birthright and conquest. revelations is a mess as it needs to fit all the characters in 19 characters and then to to valla. takumi is great in birthright because he is the first archer to have a weapon that is op. conquest as he slowly goes down the hole of despair and commits suicide and then finally forgives kamui and wishes things were better. revelation I like he joins early and is very weary of norh in a justified reason and actually has a good relashonship with Leo as it's both funny and comedic. and has deep layers as a character
ivanbluecool Lots of fair points. The only thing more broken than Fujin Yumi is Yewfelle from FE4, when the Holy Weapon grants complete bonuses. But I don't like Takumi because of his broken bow. There are lots of things in Takumi that are really well done. He's a really good character that has lots of potential, but was sadly in a shitty story with a shitty lord being a shitty forced main character. Thus all that was accomplished was Takumi sounding like an overly angsty teenager, especially in Conquest. The Drama CDs definitely makes me feel for Takumi, and serves to upset me to know how much potential was sadly wasted because Corrin just HAD to get all the attention.
Actually, Yukimura stated that there was a darker force at play. Everyone could understand that there was a darker force according to what Mikoto stated. However, the problem here is why they are unable to even use this argument on Revelations when Corrin KNOWS the darker force, and even then, its a bit stupid.
Not to mention that its highly inaccurate. Blood bonding with dragons, even in this universe, does not allow you to shift into a dragon. You have to be truly descended from dragons for that to be the case. So maybe the legends and myths they heard were either actual dragons taking human form, or half dragon offsprings like Corrin. Of course, they needed to make some excuse so that its not immediately suspected that Corrin might be the son of an actual dragon.
Axis made no sense to me as if he is a dragon everyone should be a dragon. if not then he has no blood link to anyone. also the dragon form sucks as the yato is better I wish it gave it 1_2 range and a defense buff but does anyone actually use it as the yato is faster stronger and gives the buff of attack and defense. also he had to be the only dragon in the game. to not overshadow him while Lilith is a dragon with no gameplay
Axis dragon form has no use except for feral dragon as it is actually powerful. it should have been. dragon stones to boast speed. range. power and defense but linstead it is weak and can't follow up. ithe only problem is the game got needed beyond recognition as awakening was open to everything but weapons break. yes you can be op but you had to work for it and make weapons unbreakable with dlc. I hope the next game keeps unbreakable weapons like fates and tharcia as it speeds up gameplay. forge was great. enemies were stupid as they get 1_2 range weapons that have no disadvantage other than to schew with the player. dlc is one for grinding but not for gaining special classes. give galeforth back to being the best skills as it disgusted me that fates can barley use it in combat. replicate is great. I just hope the game goes back to one story and featured Priam as the main and bring the amiboo again. that was cool. I also say cameo from awakening kids as many still need their shine and yarns should be one and nah to bring back dragons and mask lucina as amiboo lucina sucks as laslow Odin and Selena got great character and are better than most in the game story wise. but other than that keep pirage shot great for archers. weapon triangle is great. design is nice to see.
Add this to the mountain of reasons that Yuki Kaji is my favorite VA.
You really can’t go wrong when Yuki Kaji is on board.
damn. takumi is a really well developed character, after seeing this drama CD, i love him as a character a lot more...
what a shame, i wished the game show more of this
When I look at Takumi yelled at Corrin. It makes me remember of attack on Titan.
This is so sad as takumi's voice actor shows the dred that takumi feels all his life
A lot of Japanese voice actors are able to put way more emotion into their voices, whether its anime or games. English voice actors suffer the idea that they are more or less overriding the original voice that went here. Very few English voice actors can deliver similar passion.

Corrin Fucking Ruins Takumi's Life in Like a Week: a Fire Emblem Drama CD
Someone give Takumi a hug, please. ;'(
Noticed a little script error. 0:52 has Takumi saying "Stop in, Corrin!" when its obviously meant to be "Stop it, Corrin!"

How heartbroken must takumi feel if kamui chooses norh and all the love from his family goes away. It makes me feel like I'm gonna cry
Fuck man, I thought about that when I heard the last vid. ;-;
This one really gets me...
Azura actually has two voice actors: Lynn for her speaking voice, and Renka for her singing voice.
Did anyone else notice Aqua at 5:08 and then it switched back to Azura??
...Whoops. i was hoping no one would notice that lol
Tfw this is better then fates the game

Sigh
I wish this game was Dubbed
Japanese or English
When your hear the voices You can feel the emotions of the characters
Isn't it in English too tho?
@@NintendoGirl49 Yeah, But It's not Full Dub like Three Houses or Echoes
They Only Speak in Cutscenes,
In regular dialogue They usually Just say something random
FireArm Jr Or just random grunts in the dialogue lmao
Wow takumi even admits it himself to all the neighsayers that kamui took everything away from takumi
Will you do the Conquest Drama CD too? I love your videos.
Before fire emblem fates. Takumi is a dick and the only unlikable character not to grovel to kamui. After game release. Places number 1 on most liked characters. After cd audio.

Takumi: What? Is it wrong for me to lash out like that?
Me: Shush. Don't give yourself away......
Takumi speak up more. He knew about anakos before anyone
Actually, Yukimura stated that there was a darker force at play. Everyone could understand that there was a darker force according to what Mikoto stated. However, the problem here is why they are unable to even use this argument on Revelations when Corrin KNOWS the darker force, and even then, its a bit stupid.
Takumi should’ve been the protagonist of fates
Ryouma is a liar in revelations. He said he knew nothig about a dragon. Blame ryouma
