    I mean… Yami is pretty fuckin hot. That voice.

    Funny story but I was watching a ‘Live Duel’ of Kaiba vs Yugi a few years back on YouTube. Was at some world tournament or whatever. They had the voice actors from the US come and do the duel. They were reading a script and acting it out on a very minor scale. Then there were two dudes behind who had decks and were drawing the cards/playing them as it was said by the voice actor.

    The moment that I realized that the voice actor for lil Yugi and for the Pharoah was the same person was during this duel. At the start when Kaiba challenges him, he does the whole transformation thing. The “Yugiohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” transformation music plays and the voice actor just slowly turns on the fucking spot. Like this adorable little awkward spin. Then opens his mouth and it’s the Pharoah. Man… I nearly knocked the fucking table over with how hard I was laughing. I had NO IDEA! Also, voice actor for Yugi be cute as fuck.

    I found it! Here it is. I linked to the timestamp but if it doesn’t work, jump to 2:03

    Isn’t that the one where Joey ends up sent into a kind of purgatory and chased by the manifestation of death?

    Yep.

    That was probably originally Hell, wasn’t it?

    Originally? They just straight up killed you. But for some bizarre reason, 4kids in the US went “Kids can’t deal with death! Let’s instead make a realm where they go! Yeah! A realm they don’t want to be but that way they don’t die! Forever!”

    4Kids straight up invented a version of hell because they were too terrified of just saying “People gon die.”

    Also of note, he made his own spinoff audio series based around tiberius and his adventures, in defiance of tiberius being canonically dead in CR. He made a kickstarter to turn it into an animated series but evidently just ran with the money and the series never materialized.

    He also ran a charity stream against someones will and pocketed all that money too.

    Dude is a selfish prick.

    1. They were having to actively watch his dice rolls all the time for a long time before Episode 27. They even make subtle jokes about it during the stream. There were times you can visibly see him just straight up re roll it. Matt even said in a comment once, before deleting it, that the “only dice fudging player is no longer part of the show.”

    2. He kept lying about how many spell slots he had available.

    3. “Misunderstood” a ring of Spell Storing so that he had four 4th level spells stored in it

    4. He would be a complete dick to fans on Twitter to the point that other CritRole people had to step in and tell him off. Went everywhere from “YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO DO THIS THING” to “YOU’RE NOT A REAL FAN”.

    5. Had an extreme case of Main Character Syndrome. During the last episode he even tried to solve Percy’s arc, throwing around his royal lineage, trying to make it about his telekensis putting a shot in that Laura rolled a 35 on, getting a pet because Laura had a pet,

    6. Shopped way too fucking much and planned ridiculous things that could never work, exhausting Mercer to no end and driving Travis absolutely insane.

    7. Made really offputting sexual comments for no reason like “As Vex is going over this plan, Tiberius is getting a chub but you can’t see it because it’s inside.” WHAT?! Granted that was from the last episode he was on but fucking hell.

    8. Would argue with Mercer about how things worked and then effectively challenge him. Mercer would then put him in his place and he’d get all whiny. He openly said at one point he believes DnD is a competition between the DM and the Player.

    9. He’d metagame to high heaven, one example being refusing to get involved in a Beholder fight because Orion, playing a sorcerer, knew about the Beholders anti-magic cone. When pressed on this in-game by the other PCs, he uses Silence to just completely shut them up so they can’t tell him off. Just really bitchily shuts them down. Or when he tried to get a long rest because he used up all his spell slots and knew a Rakshasha was hunting them. OR when he tried to summon a ton of water to stop a vampire fleeing despite his character never seeing a vampire nor knowing their weaknesses over flowing water.

    10. He got really frustrated that a chick he was trying to go after ended up going after another NPC, a woman no less. He ended up demonstrating more than a little latent homophobia from that.

    They’ve never really said why he left and most Critical Role communities will shut down any discussion of it. Not sure why. It’s a DnD game. We’ve all had to deal with bad players.
