, also helped!

Everyone is excited about some PAD characters getting voiced, but do some of the voices sound familiar? Some of the voice actors (JP term: seiyuu) may have voiced some other anime or movies you know!

Let’s take a quick look at the voice actors behind the characters!

Updated 10/6: Added more voice actors from Chrono Ma:Gia.

Updated 9/30: Added the newer batches of voice, plus another voice actor!


Wait, Voice? PAD?

Version 15.2 of PAD introduced the Skill Voice awakening, giving a voice line to those with the awakening, which activates when you use the card’s active skill in a dungeon, or click on the awakening when viewing the card.

Gintoki Sakata from Gintama collab was first to receive this awakening, and shortly after, PAD’s own characters!

All the characters we’re familiar with, and the new characters in Dragonbound & Dragon Callers series below all started talking, as of 9/7.

Since 9/20, more characters got voiced!

First batch of voices

Voice Awakenings, as you expect, don’t really have uses in game except healing your ears. JP player Paprika made a button team of Neys and Cottons to button SKC with cute voices!


The Voice Actors

Disclaimer: I’m not super familiar with voice actors, and I have not watched a broad spectrum of anime. There may be cases where I missed your favorite anime, or that I missed important points. I apologize in advance.

Let’s start with the voice actor for Gintoki. Not surprisingly he has the longest role list in this entire post, with lots of notable characters that I can’t even finish listing.

You definitely should recognize some anime series, even I can!

  • Marlene Wallace – Final Fantasy VII
  • Acerola – Pokemon Sun & Moon
  • Moogle in Final Fantasy Type-0, XIII-2, and more
  • Anna (Young) – Frozen (from Disney)

Young voice actor who debuted at age of 7, with a really cute and young voice. Her role list is long, so you may recognize quite a few of her works!

I cannot imagine putting Cotton or Miru on an Ed team now (not that I ever would)… In fact, base form of Cotton does say “Let’s play?”…

Notable roles
  • Mari Ohara – Love Live! Sunshine!!
  • Mez – Akame ga Kill!
  • Konohanasakuya-hime – Megami Meguri

Commonly known as Ainya. Though she’s in the field for less time than Sumire, she’s getting more and more popular after her role in Love Live! Her voice gives a nice character.

Just like her voice, she’s also really cute! (Ney cosplay when?)

Roles full list My Anime List / Anime News Network / IMDb
Notable roles
  • Nadeshiko Kagamihara – Yuru Camp△
  • Karin Shindou – Chrono Ma:Gia

Really cute voice that definitely surprised a lot of Green Sonia lovers. Cute, but more mature (I don’t know how to explain in words, help). Whether her voice is suitable for Ilmina is kind of a mixed bag – Some like it, some don’t.

I hope she voice more characters in PAD though!

  • Sean – Street Fighter V

A male seiyuu! Like Sumire, he has quite a long role list as he’s been in the field for a while. Interesting to see he’s also

Leo Bloomfield in CM, perhaps we’ll hear him again in PAD soon.

Now try getting image of

Rikuu and Bananya together out of your head… I know I can’t.

  • Raizer – Chrono Ma:Gia

The other male seiyuu with also a long role list, mostly supporting roles. He does have a really powerful deep voice, really suited for

Lajoa.

I believe he cut his hair already too, this is an older photo of him.

New to the PAD voices is Chitose Morinaga, who also voiced Luluna in Chrono Ma:Gia! Both characters are some of our PDX moderator’s favorites, so I do look forward to hearing more from her!

Fun fact, her interest is weight training.


Chrono Ma:Gia Voice Actors

So far the trend is that voice actors for GungHo’s card game, Chrono Ma:Gia, also voice PAD characters. Perhaps we can expect some of them later!

Below are a list of all known voice actors for CM characters:

Final Thoughts

I do think that the voices are really well done, especially Ney. To be honest I really liked that they included male voices too, good gender balance for once!

Since many of the seiyuu already voiced characters for Chrono Ma:Gia, it won’t be surprising to see more from them. Heck, this really suggests that GungHo Collabs should return to JP server with Skill Voice awakening on cards eventually.

Now let’s see how

Ilmina,  Uruka , and Planar will sound like! (Sumire and Ainya again? Or more Seiyuu?) Perhaps I’ll make a part 2 when this happens.

Side note: Do you know who needs voice awakening the most?

Chaos Dragon Knight, VOICE! (haha sorry)

    1. So are Ilmina and Uruka, but I’ve only covered the ones who actually have voice awakenings at the moment in game, since we don’t know the voice actors at this time!
