Blazblue's storytelling was so good that the characters all had matchup-specific dialogue for their special moves.
This is a big reason why losing the english dub for BBCF was so sad. You miss out on a lot of what makes BB special if you can't understand what they're saying.
Rest in peace to the voice behind Uncle Iroh, Aku and Master Splinter 🕊️
Remembering Mako, born Makoto Iwamatsu, who passed away 20 years ago this July at the age of 72. A trailblazing Japanese-American actor, voice artist, and theater pioneer, he helped break barriers for Asian performers while creating some of animation’s most unforgettable characters.
His iconic roles and contributions included:
• Uncle Iroh — Avatar: The Last Airbender
• Aku — Samurai Jack
• Master Splinter — TMNT
• Po-Han — The Sand Pebbles
• Akiro — Conan the Barbarian
• The Reciter — Pacific Overtures
• Co-founder of East West Players
Mako brought warmth and wisdom to Uncle Iroh, while his booming, theatrical performance made Aku one of animation’s greatest villains. His emotional rendition of “Leaves from the Vine” remains one of Avatar’s most heartbreaking moments.
Rest in peace, Mako. Your unforgettable voice will live on forever ❤️
Somehow, just concluded June 2026 as my most successful month ever, after doing this full time for 15 years. This comes with an update, as I'll be taking a vacation starting the 4th for a couple weeks. Thank you everyone for sharing these moments with me.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the thrilling conclusion of the FFVII Remake Series, launches simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, Epic Games Store and Steam in Spring 2027.
For the next year or so, we gotta hear that no one wants to play a woman in God of war, and then when Laufey ends up selling well, we gotta hear how the sale numbers are fake.
