Among the souls of the Spring Plan, the one that stands out the most Tokyo Avenger, Shonen by Ken Wakui that reverses recent trends. The major protagonist of the work is Ken Ryuguji, alias Draken, second in command of the Toman and "older brother" of Mikey.
During an interview with the CBR portal, the English voice of Draken, Sean Chiplock, spoke about the success of Tokyo Revengers, the connection with his character and his favorite scenes.
There are many programs or games that use the concept of yakuza. But Tokyo Revengers not only makes them the centerpiece of the story, it goes beyond the superficial view of the "mean thug" by providing a much more complex and vulnerable side. In fact, Ken Wakui deals with fundamental issues such as ethics, sacrifice and the knowledge of being a group, concepts that the new generation very often miss.
Draken is a tough guy, a real beast when it comes to fighting. Even so, it turns out that it's the supportive heart of Tomankeeping the group together and keeping their leader Mikey at bay. The task of giving a voice to Draken was a huge challenge, but the voice actor appreciates the opportunity to explore his concept of "less is more", his coherent, stoic calm that exudes an air of confidence.
The voice actor said he was really proud of his performance, especially during the hospital scene where Draken and Manjiro face the parents of someone who has been hurt by their actions. This scene first led the audience to see the real Draken, "father" and Reference figure of the whole toman. It will be interesting to find out what made him become such a person.
Chiplock then closed the interview with a message to the community. Seeing people punch each other on an anime series is great, but doing it in real life is dangerous and painful. Don't try this at home! We leave you to the latest sketch by Wakui and the theme songs of the anime, sung by Mikey and Kazutora ..
