Both subbed and English dubbed versions of Masked Obito* and Madara are voiced by the same actors (With this, I think you could say that Tobi is Madara, in a way). With this, when Obito has his masked shattered (since the NUNS dub is way ahead of the released dubbed episodes), do you think it would be easier to have Obito and Edo Madara be voiced by different actors?

This video was uploaded shortly after the 2nd Kakashi Gaiden episodes. Though I am going out on a limb here but I think there's the possibility that when the Japanese were approving Vic to be cast as Obito when they casting young Obito, maybe they saw this video.

*Nolan North was Obito in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 while Vic "Nagato" Mignonga was Obito Ultimate Ninja Impact and the Kakashi Gaiden episodes though the "official" voice of Obito, at the moment, is Neil "Hawkmon" Kaplan.

Further, it's interesting that Vic as Nagato brings back the dead but can't really do that as Edward Elric whereas his Broly cheats death various times. So, does Obito.

Its been foreshadowed already that Obito was simply using a Madara impression for his voice thus far. We already saw that he could change his voice completely as Tobi (pre-Madara), and then assumed his real voice was that of Madara. Now that we know that his "voice" is actually Madara's, im assuming that when he is unmasked we will hear his real voice. Because lets face it, his current voice both dubbed and subbed just dont fit a character of his age.

Well, he had 2 Tobi voices: his childish and serious voices. I think his serious voice fits him.

Similarly, the dub voice of Hiruko was different than that of Sasori (Hiruko was J.B. Blanc who also does Pakkun while Sasori is Johnny Yong Bosch).

Hmm, well even though Madara and 'Tobi' are voiced by the same actor, in the Japanese version anyway (and this is based on what I've heard in the video game) their voices still sound quite different. 'Tobi's" is more rough , deeper and gruff while Madara's is much smoother , the pitch a little higher and 'cool' sounding. Not too sure about the differences in the English voices though but I'm hoping that they will find someone to properly voice 'Tobi' since we now mostly know who he is. but I wouldn't be too surprised if he kept this voice or had another deep sounding voice because when he was younger his (japanese voice anyway) was already pretty deep for a 12 year old.

Truth be told, English dub is quite decent. But the Japanese dub has no equal because it retains all the emotions that the manga intented to project on people's hearts.

I don't, since I'm not from the U.S.A.
