I'm afraid to criticize the VA because people will start bringing other Kaiba trap cards unrelated to it to send me back to the shadow realm. But the VA does sound underwhelming compared to other characters VA *(mainly the scions). However I'd also say that it's not down to the VA themselves. How a character should sound, the accent, and how expressive they need be is down to the producers too. Most of the time the VAs are only given certain characteristics of how the character should sound and take it from there. So the producers need to decide what is acceptable to be in production. So it's a 50:50 situation. Having said that DT is the first expansion where I play with JP voice on and I don't think I'd go back now. Y'shtola sounds so good, I also prefer JP Erenville voice. I'd miss Urianger EN accent though. I was blessed to have witnessed a masterpiece of EN voice acting that is Urianger.
