What if Honkai Impact 3rd had an English dub
What's going on guys today we're talking about Honkai Impact 3rd once again and boy do I love do I love talking about that series. Not only is it up there as one of my favorite video game franchises of all time alongside several others like Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Mega Man, Kingdom Hearts, and more but despite the popularities of games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd will always be the most superior than those two it simply smokes them in almost everything category like Kiana Kaslana being the better MC than Traveler and Trailblazer, Raiden Mei and Bronya Zaychik being the better secondary MCs than Paimon, Dan Heng, and March 7th, and Sirin, Otto Apocalypse, and especially Kevin Kaslana being the better villains than the Unknown God, Traveler's Sibling, Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade (even though I LOVE Kafka) and also having superior storytelling, gameplay, and animation so yeah Honkai Impact 3rd completely violates Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail in every category possible.
But I've already made a chapter about why I think that so I won't go into details here. But if there's one thing that Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail has over Honkai Impact 3rd besides settings and world building (though that might change once Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2 comes out) is that they have English dub. For those who aren't aware every since it's release Honkai Impact 3rd has never had an English dub which to be honest I'm totally fine because Japanese sub is usually better than the English dub anyways and the same can be said for the Chinese sub which I find surprisingly great so if you if really think about it HI3 doesn't need an English dub. However what if that wasn't the case? What if Honkai Impact 3rd did indeed hand an English dub? Who would voice the characters? That's what we're going to find out so without further ado let's get started.
Now before we go any further I just want to point out that I'm not using voice actors from fan made English dubs I will only be using actual professionals who have actually done official voice works and the also have to be experienced because as stated by Lester from Grand Theft Auto V you have to choose someone good. Anyways with that out of the way let's get started.
First up we have our main character Kiana Kaslana the person I chose to voice Kiana is Erica Mendez, she's known for the voice of Gon from Hunter X Hunter, Akko from Little Witch Academia, Ryuko from Kill la Kill, Ayaka from Genshin Impact and several others. I chose Erica for this role is because when I pictured of what Kiana sounds like if she was to hav an English VA I picture her having Akko's voice except mush higher I think Erica would actually be able capture Kiana's voice pretty well especially during moments when Kiana is fighting Mei, or when Kiana becomes the Herrscher of Flamescion and fights the Herrscher of Dominance. That's why I chose Erica Mendez if I was to cast the English version of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Next is Raiden Mei and I will say it was a tough choice because I had several VAs qualified to voice Mei but in the end I choose Erika Harlacher to voice her, Erika is known for roles ad Jeanne d'Arc from Fate/Apocrypha, Violet Evergarden from the series of the same name, Shinobu Kocho from Demon Slayer, Ann from Persona 5, Venti in Genshin Impact and several others. I just think Erika makes sense to voice Mei because I do think she would be able to capture many of Mei's emotions weather it's happiness, sadness, anger you name because Mei throughout her life has always had a mixed feeling of emotions I do think where Erika would really shine is during the Lament of the Fallen in the end of Chapter 17 because whenever I imagined that fight in English when I hear Mei scream "The world is nothing to me without you!" I always hear Erika's voice it would be so impactful to here that. Also a little fun fact Mei's Japanese VA Miyuki Sawashiro also voices Kurapika from Hunter X Hunter while Erika voices him in the English dub so I thought it would be cool to see them voice the same character again if they hadn't done so already.
Moving on to Bronya I was originally going to pick her Star Rail VA Madeline Reiter however given that we know little about her I decided against it especially since I thought she did pretty decent at best also according to Seele's VA Molly Zhang that name Madeline Reiter might not br her real name it could be a stage name so she's a complete mystery nonetheless I wouldn't have her voice Bronya in Honkai Impact 3rd because I think she's decent so instead the person I picked is Cherami Leigh who you may know as Lucy from Fairy Tail, Asuna from Sword Art Online, Sailor Venus from Sailor Moon, Sarada from Boruto, Makoto from Persona 5, and more. Now despite her seemingly high voice she's actually no stranger to deep voice roles I seem to picture Cherami whenever I hear Bronya talk if she had and English voice I do think she would capture Bronya's seemingly emotionless expression really well like just hearing Cherami saying idiotka would just be pretty amazing to see I also think she would make the most sense especially for more of Bronya's serious moments like in the Sea of Quanta, breaking Otto's forcefield and so on. I know I'm probably the only one alone with this but in my opinion Cherami is a pretty great choice for Bronya.
Moving onto Himeko and the person I choose to voice her is Kira Buckland who you may know her as Jolyne Cujoh in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Rebecca in Edens Zero, Mitsuri Kanroji in Demon Slayer, and many more. When I pictured what Himeko would sound like in the English version I hear Jolyne's voice which I definitely think would fit well with Himeko especially once we inevitably get to Final Lesson in Chapter 9 when Himeko dies saving Kiana from Sirin I think Kira would definitely fit the role perfectly for Himeko especially after voicing Jolyne in Stone Ocean. And while Cia Court was okay for Himeko as Star Rail I don't really see her using the same vibe Kira would use.
Next up is Seele and it pains me to say this but unfortunately I won't have Molly Zhang voice Seele in Honkai Impact 3rd, I'm sorry I do like her as Seele from Star Rail I don't think she would fit well enough with HI3 Seele, let alone Veliona which means the person I choose to voice Seele is Cristina Vee who you may know her as Ladybug from Miraculous Ladybug, Killua from Hunter X Hunter, Bennett and Xingqiu in Genshin Impact, and so many others. Like with Cherami Leigh, Cristina has an incredible ranged voice and I've seen her in several roles of high pitched voices and also if I hear Seele's voice in English I always picture Cristina being behind the voice. I can also see her voicing Veilona as well since she would be able to capture the arrogance that Veliona has plus I think it would be great.
Up next in the casting choice is Fu Hua and the person I chose is Stephanie Sheh you may know her as Hinata from Naruto, Orihime from Bleach, Zhu Li from Legend of Korra, Sailor Moon from the series of the same name and more. I do think that Stephanie would definitely fit the role of Fu Hua so well that I don't think most fans would recognize that it was her behind the voice she would be able to fit Hua's voice very well especially when we get to Chapter 22 during the battle against Herrscher of Sentience where Hua goes over her life regrets and speaking of Herrscher of Sentience I can see Stephanie voicing her as well.
Up next we have is Durandal now this one was also a tough one but I chose Laura Post you may know her as Ragyo from Kill la Kill, Diana Cavendish from Little Witch Academia, Yelan in Genshin Impact and more I just think she would definitely fit perfectly for Durandal I can also see her capturing the vibe that Durandal gives off.
Moving on to Rita the person I choose to voice Brianna Knickerbocker who you may know her as Kanao from Demon Slayer, Rem from Re: Zero, Hu Tao from Genshin Impact and many more. Whenever I picture what Rita sounds like in an English dub Brianna is what immediately comes to mind I can totally see her perfecting Rita's voice being able to capture her optimistic demeanor much like she did with Hu Tao although Rita would not be as upbeat as Hu Tao.
Theresa Apocalypse is next and the person I chose Tia Lynn Ballard who you might know her as Happy from Fairy Tail and Edens Zero, Sylph in Black Clover, and a few more. When ever I think of high pitched roles I believe that Tia us really the best option for Theresa since she probably has the highest voice in the entire series thus far and Tia would definitely be able to catch the vibe especially when Theresa is angry. I can also see her voicing Amber as well since she and Theresa have the same voice in the Japanese sub.
Moving onto the Olenyeva twins Rozaliya and Liliya the people I chose to voice them is Brittney Karbowski (Rozaliya) and Jad Saxton (Liliya) Britteny I'm sure you know her as Wendy from Fairy Tail, Misaka from A Certain Magical Index, Black Star from Soul Eater, Pride from Fullmetal Alchemist, etc and Jax is known as Carla from Fairy Tail, Itsuka Kendo from My Hero Academia, Tamaki from Fire Force. I can see Brittney and Jax performing the funny dynamic between Rozaliya and Liliya because I always find these two twins pretty funny when playing the game their just too good especially Rozaliya who I hear in my head with Britteny's voice.
As for Welt Yang I think I'll keep Corey Landis his English VA from Star Rail because I think he did a really great job for the role he did a brilliant job so it only makes sense for him to have him voice Welt in Impact 3rd.
For Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla I picked Christie Cate (Einstein) and Sarah Miller Crews (Tesla) both of whom you may know as the the Unknown God, Qiqi, and Lumine from Genshin Impact, I think they would do fine as Einstein and Tesla.
And speaking of Christie, I'll have her voice Sirin as well thanks to her role as the Unknown God I think she would be able to capture Sirin's anger, sadness, loneliness, and arrogance really well I can picturing Christie talking like she has a superiority complex because that's accurate to Sirin's character.
Moving on to Raven I'm going to have Elizabeth Maxwell voice her. Elizabeth as you guys know voices Caulifla from Dragon Ball, Ymir from Attack on Titan, Winter Schnee from RWBY, Midnight from My Hero Academia, Rosaria from Genshin Impact, Natasha from Star Rail, and more. I think Elizabeth has proven she fits the role based on her performance on Raven's counterpart Natasha plus when I hear what I imagine what Raven would sound like in an English dub I do hear Elizabeth's voice so I think it would make sense for her to voice Raven.
Next up is Otto Apocalypse this is once again a really tough one but in the end the person I ended up choosing Lucien Dodge who you may know whim as Akaza from Demon Slayer and many others. I think after hearing a few of his deem voice roles I can confidently say that Lucien would fit perfectly for the role of Otto I do believe he would be able to capture the cunning, intelligent, calculating, and charming voice that he gives off whenever his presence is known I believe that he would fit that role perfectly in my opinion.
Moving on to the best villain of the entire series Kevin Kaslana and again I had very touch choices but ultimately I picked Mark Whitten who you may know as the voice pf Kyojuro Rengoku from Demon Slayer, Kazuha from Genshin Impact, and a few others. Fun fact Kevin's Japanese VA Satoshi Hino also voices Rengoku as well. I think Mark would definitely do a great Kevin I can tell by some of his deep voice roles that he'd be able to capture Kevin's anger, intelligence, depression, and determination especially when he pulls off Kevin's most infamous line: "No matter the costs, Humanity will purge the Honkai." Hearing that in the English Dub would definitely be cool to see as well as seem him go deeper into Kevin's emotions because as we all know he is the dark reflection of his arch-nemesis Kiana. Mark would do an absolute job as Kevin.
Finally we have the Herrscher who simps for humanity herself Elysia. The person I choose to voice her is Dawn M. Bennett who you may know her as Kale from Dragon Ball, Sister Lily from Black Clover, Aigis from Persona 3, and a few others. I think Dawn would be able to catch Elysia's personality perfectly especially when she starts simping for Mei.
And there you have it guys the actors who I would choose to voice Honkai Impact 3rd characters if it were to get an English Dub now there are some characters I didn't mention like Seigfried Kaslana, Cecilia Schariac, Cocolia (though she will have her Star Rail VA), Grey Serpent, Jackal, Kallen Kaslana, Nagamitsu, AI Hyperion, and more but I don't wanna make this too long so I went over the more important characters.
But anyways guys let me know in the comments below if you agree or disagree with my pick and also to let me know who would you cast in Honkai Impact 3rd should it get a dub. Thanks for reading and I will see you all next time. Peace.
