My Take
Learning that Hanamichi Sakuragi and Trunks share a voice actor genuinely stopped me. One is a loudmouth first-year who cannot sit still; the other is a young man carrying the ruin of the future. Kusao moves between them, and between Kabutack's slapstick and Coco's warmth in PreCure, without seams. Sixty now, still at Aoni Production, still Trunks.
