Thereโ€™s a likelihood that GQuuuuuuX, Super Robot Wars Y and UC Engage may be the last instances where Amuro is voiced by his original actor, since the first two were in production starting 2018 prior to the scandal. So, who do you think can fill his shoes?

He was, for one show, Conan. Was quietly replaced for another, Dragon Ball Daima. Has allegedly stepped down on his own from One Piece. And never went to conventions or press events again. But no bothered him about Gundam so he kept voicing whenever there's new content.

>Who should replace Furuya?
You gotta let this go. No one cares that he had an affair. It's old news. He's not getting replaced unless he dies or retires.

Furuya is already doing other voice roles and will do more Amuro roles. He's already done more UC Engage videos in the latest releases.

It's old news. Move on anon.

He also got replaced in the Metaphor game. That said, by this point, it's clear Bandai doesn't give a fuck about all that.

Obviously they do if he exited One Piece, which Bandai owns.

Just replace him with Osamu Wakai and be done.

Bandai doesn't own One Piece. They have a merchandising license for the anime, but that's it. Toei is the one that owns the One Piece anime license and so all casting and such are decided by them (and, no, Toei isn't part of Bandai).

Should I really care about some random scandal committed by someone I donโ€™t personally know or should I just move on with my life?

Look, no oneโ€™s condoning Furuyaโ€™s actions. What he did was wrong, and we all agree on that.

But frankly, the details on this scandal are too damn vague that I just canโ€™t bring myself to care anymore.

Time to move on, buddy. We have better shit to do.

I agree, but I think it's just because I come from a culture, where dubbing / voice acting has always been viewed as a "lesser" form of acting, so someone's voice has never personally mattered too much to me. However in Japan, voice acting is a very important and a big business, so the same actor will usually voice and be associated with the same character. That's why, for example, the voice of One Piece's Franky being changed was such a big issue, even if Yao was a skeleton and sounded exhausted in his voice work. To quite many, an anime character's voice is basically the same as actors in live-action shows, so changing a VA feels very dramatic.

I'd recommend Natsuki Hanae. His Biscuit Griffin (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans) is proof he can get to Amuro's character without the need to copy Furuya. Him being able to switch tones while voicing Elan Ceres and his doubles (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury) shows he can make a fine successor to Furuya as Ribbons Almark (Mobile Suit Gundam 00).

I thought people didn't like him because he physically assaulted a woman in said relationship, not the affair itself.

Too high profile. It's never happening. Also his voice is too heroic and full of righteous anger.

>Too high profile.

I'd wager it would work because by recruiting him, you can get fans who know him outside his work in Gundam to rally to him to be the new Amuro. It also helps that Hanae himself has a wife and twin daughters so that should redeem the image of Amuro AFTER Furuya was exposed for being an abusive adulterer.

>Also his voice is too heroic and full of righteous anger.

That's why I brought up Hanae's Biscuit. Refer to Biscuit's argument with Orga Itsuka in IBO Season 1 episode 20: the tone Hanae used there is what I think of for someone to do 15-year-old Amuro when he shouts without having to copy Furuya.

I can't think of anyone. Furuya has this way of talking that's really unique I've seen a lot of Japs imitate him because it's so distinct.

I honestly can't see any faults in this, Furuya should be given a fertility medal and his own late night show encouraging Japanese couples to have sex and children, the government should fund a 50 episode Alt-UC show where Amuro marries Sayla at the end of the OYW and they have tons of kids, the episodes would play sort of like Urusei Yatsura with recurring characters such as Uncle Char and Uncle Kai and other UC thots trying to break their marriage or straight up rape attempts at Amuro.
