Does America sound like a hyped up Eric Vale to anyone? Like his Desert Punk voice. Because we all remember Yuki from Fruits Basket. If they are following the "Canada is a quiet America" pattern then I don't know who else it could be but him. Also, did anyone else feel that there was a chance Christopher Sabat would be Japan? Seeing the Engrish approach they took made me remember Sabat doing impressions of Japanese people. And it's not like Japan's voice is high or anything. It's quiet but strangely deep in the Japanese. Not that I'm complaining at all! Part of me wanting it was just about how funny and odd it would be for Sabat to play a character like that.
