Norio Wakamoto is awesome

[wayne62682]

Does anyone know what exactly he's saying in Japanese? The Romanized Japanese words, I mean, since it's subtitled xD

[FlayvorOfEvil]

@wayne62682 Only the last line is important.

WARE WA DAI ROKU TEN MAOU! ODA NOBUNAGAAAAARRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!

[vader148]

what anime is this plz tell me!!!

[loveyuiz]

which episode is this ?

[TheReadySetShout]

There is no one before me and no one after me:

"I'm the 6th lord of darkness"

^^^^^

5 before him

[Phalanxification]

@TheReadySetShout I didn't notice that... I just kinda took his word for it.

Baaaaaa~!

[ufoDanceParty]

@TheReadySetShout It's Wakamoto-sama. He just changes the number when he gets bored of the current one.

[DestroyedArkana]

Norio Wakamoto is to Japanese voice acting as Steven J. Blum is to English voice acting.

And they are both amazing.

[ZoroSJ]

Norio Wakamoto: Worship me

Me: By your will, my God.

[Tounushi]

Norio Wakamoto = BRIAN BLESSED of the east

[Gnarglay]

What series is this?

[TheDemonicGate]

@Gnarglay Sengoku Basara.

[Gnarglay]

@TheDemonicGate sank you!

[MrWongCx]

If Megumi Hayashibara is queen for having variety and sheer number of roles, then Norio Wakamoto is King for simply being SHEER AWESOME.

[TheBeastBandit]

This is Wakamoto's fifth kingdom burning of the day.

[xCR9xxHilaly2011]

what's the name of this anime ??

[kari5]

@xCR9xxHilaly2011 Sengoku Basara

[Kerorofan1990]

He rolled the R's in Nobunaga...there are no R's in Nobunaga!

[gojira4life]

I wonder... would someone have the kindness of having him say rrrrrrrrrrrheumatism and post that video to the Nostalgia Critic? I have a feeling this might be rich XD

[americandodgeball]

He was Vega/Bison in Street Fighter IV too

[artistafrustrado1]

yep hes awesome as hell but i preffer the Nobunaga english voice from Sengoku BASARA 3 xP

[DraculaCronqvist]

I love Norio Wakamoto but I just *have* to ask one thing... Is everyone just making fun of him or does everyone else love him as much as I do, in a serious kind of way?

[chungga94]

@DraculaCronqvist

Take a guess how we responded when he spouted that one line in the beginning of this video.

[detectiveconan996]

@DraculaCronqvist How can you NOT love him? He's too epic. He gives Chuck Norris a run for his money, you know.

[DraculaCronqvist]

@detectiveconan996 I still can't detect if this is meant ironically or if everyone is serious. Because I fucking love Norio Wakamoto and it would hurt if everyone else would just make fun of him.

[detectiveconan996]

@DraculaCronqvist I'm pretty sure we all love Norio Wakamoto.

[DraculaCronqvist]

@detectiveconan996 Hell yes. But why then all these comments about... "ham?"

[detectiveconan996]

@DraculaCronqvist He's a large ham? (Look that up on tvtropes)

[DraculaCronqvist]

@detectiveconan996 Read the article. Still doesn't know what that means. I mean large ham means... "overacting"? Like... what? How can there even be such a thing as overacting?

[detectiveconan996]

@DraculaCronqvist Like acting in such a way that looks like you have a big ego. Something along the lines of dynamic, epic, etc.

[DraculaCronqvist]

@detectiveconan996 Well, his roles often demand such acting.

[namedonimpulse]

Augh! He has a dorky little mustache!

[Steelix100]

I like how the first thing he says is "Worship me."

[Zenakayaku]

Whenever an anime/video game character sounds excessively manly and excessively awesome at the same time, that's Wakamoto.

[screwtokaiba]

If anyone forgets

Wakamoto : the father of Elzam von Branstein

Its fucking true

[Rebazar]

It's all about Wakamoto as Father Alexander Anderson!

[MyHabbits]

Thumbs up if you bowed down when he said "worship me".

[Hellsing1138]

Nice try, Xavier.

[PukyBear]

I wish I were a bird

[ntate123]

You know what Wakamoto's most awesome role is? FUCKING BARBATOS GOETIA!!!

"Itemu nazo... Tsukatenja... NEEEEE!!!"

"WARUDO DESTROYA!!!"

[Austin21926]

NORIO WAKAMOTO IS OUR LORD OF DARKNESS

[SnowBlindedbylight]

ALL HAIL ODA NOBUNAGA!

[TheDemonKing900]

@SnowBlindedbylight HAIL THE DEMON KING!



[AdmiralBetas]

Oda Nobunaga the Shogun? Wakamoto should of voiced him in Civ 5 as well :/

[AdmiralBetas]

@AdmiralBetas *should have lol

[Koriolis]

RRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH­EEEEEEEEE!

[Nitrokitty]

This video is brought to you by the letter RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

[lordvaderbg]

I hope Norio voices Nobunaga in the movie as well :D

[naruteoh123]

Ware ga Dairoku Matenou! Oda Nobunaga naRRRRRRRRRI!

[JustAnotherAnimeFan]

I wasn't really interested in this series before, but now I suddenly want to watch it. o_o

[jurbon]

I can't wait for Drifters to get an anime.

[DaRainman2889]

AMEN!

[ShadyKitsune]

Starring: Norio Wakamoto as Norio Wakamoto

[ffjfvfhu]

ODA NOBUNNANANANAGA

[waaa9waaa9waaa9]

dat HnG narrator



[MyHabbits]

R isn't worth a crap if you don't roll it.

[fruant]

Wakamoto played as himself.

[Enlightenedopinion92]

"Worship me."

Yes sir, mister Wakamoto!

[PicklesReallySuck]

What anime is this?

[XBladeVanitas]

@PicklesReallySuck Sengoku Basara

[MIKEL3ROCK]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS ANIME?

[MegaSniperwolf]

@MIKEL3ROCK Sengoku Basara

[MIKEL3ROCK]

@MegaSniperwolf thanks

[mamushi72sai5575]

@MIKEL3ROCK pokemon johto journeys

[MultiMaxy95]

Imagine Goku and Cell screaming out ''KAMEHAMEHA'' at the same time in Japanese

[garchompelago]

ODA NOBUNAGAANARRUUUUIII!!!!

[JamesFan16]

this guy also voice the narrorator in Hayate No Gotoku XD

love hwo this guy does his job XD

[TitouFreak]

Onsokumaru! .... Sorry wrong show :x

[SageVallant]

Imagine you're a pick-pocket walking down the street, and someone with this voice yells at you "STOP, THIEF!". What do you do?

That's right. Norio Wakamoto was a POLICE OFFICER before becoming a VA.

[WarCollider]

@SageVallant Isn't it obvious? I'd yell "YES MAI LORDU!!"

[FutileExistence]

@SageVallant

STOP, ANY OTHER ACTION WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE!

[chrislongden4]

ODANOBUNAGAnorrrriooooo

[dragonlibrarian]

I remember being really disappointed playing Blazblue for the first time and realizing that Haku-men's voice actor was not this guy...

[DeltaSilver88]

lol, he's using macho "r". XD In Japan, only yakuza (or macho guys) roll their r's like that.

[AnvilMAn603]

@DeltaSilver88 if there is anybody that deserves to use the rolling R its wakamoto

[DeltaSilver88]

@AnvilMAn603 ...Daisuke Gori used to do it better, though. :\

...Out of newer seiyuu, the best yakuza voice belongs to Toru Ohkawa. x'D

[AnvilMAn603]

@DeltaSilver88 i agree with you to a certain extent but nothing will ever beat wakamoto, you can tell he just plain enjoys being the bad guy

[TurnAGundam]

@DeltaSilver88 Did any of those guys voice Emperor Gol in "Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo"? I know Wakamoto was General Bat and that Hideo Ishikawa was Ryoma Nagare, but that's it.

[DeltaSilver88]

@TurnAGundam Gol was voiced by Kenji Utsumi. He's voiced Alex Louis Armstrong (FMA) and Shen Long (DBZ) among others.

[JtotheROC]

ODA NOBUNAGAARRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE­E

[OzuYatamutsu]

ODA NOBU- HELLO EVERYNYAN

[SimGirlKiss]

ofc I will worship you Nobunaga

[nincsjonev]

what is this anime?

[StrikeWarlock]

@nincsjonev Sengoku BAsara

[DreadSaruman]

Lelouch dislike this video

[OmniDude90]

@DreadSaruman Did you mean RRRRRRRLLLLLLUUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHH­UUUUUU?

[MikeTheDragon]

It's called Sengoku Basara. There's a sub version available from funimation's youtube channel.

[freakymoejoe2]

which anime is this from?

id like to watch it.

[darkmirage0]

How does he roll his R's when there is no R in Oda Nobunaga?

Ware wa dairoku tenou, ODA NOBUNAGANORRRRE

[Quizerno]

@darkmirage0

Wakamoto is god. So......I guess thats the only we're getting.

[Wyrdwad]

@darkmirage0 - You probably didn't actually want an answer to this, but... he's saying "Oda Nobunaga nare." Though I think he added the "nare" just so he COULD roll his Rs. ;)

[TensaZangetsu1200]

@Wyrdwad He doesn't "roll" his R's, he RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOORRRRRRR­RRRRRRRUS them.

[Mamoru0Hasukage]

nari. Or is it Narei? Anyway, it is an ending sentance form. Much like desu, da, de gozaru, etc. 

[InsaneBufoon]

Wait, he says "ODA NOBUNAGA (norrrio!!)"

Just listen carefully!

[ieatporkpies]

Guys....he's confirmed missing ...

[Azmodeus87]

@ieatporkpies On the contrary, He´s confirmed alive and well trough Twitter.

[MisterGamer43]

Okay. It's official. The dub will never be as good as the original language, no matter how long it goes on.

[rarabellyrump]

RRRRRLLLLLLUUUUSHHUUUUUUUU

[Zoorah]

good for him.

[MasterXHunterSaitan]

Norio Wakamoto is a god.

[robertsrashad]

Seriously, we ALL know that's what Oda Nobunaga has to sound like.. Norio Wakamoto. Duurrh

[MoliYabuki]

KA ME HA ME HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­A

[GourouBandai]

We all worship you Wakamoto

[Tallboy119]

What anime is this?

[Shetyre]

wwwwaaaaaaait

is it the smae guy from code Geas ?

[Clarinerd617]

Who else is here via TVTropes?

[lazarusdrake]

@Clarinerd617 does "no one can Chew the Scenery quite like Norio Wakamoto" answer your question? :P

[Zeta368peep]

Doesnt Brad from 4playerpodcast say nobunga lol ?

[esensas]

somehow i get the feeling that he will fire a solar kamehame :D

[sakuzenshi]

hahaha Oda was played by the Nico who wanted to be a buhrd XP

[bleachboy14]

What anime is this? Going to watch just because Wakamoto is in there.

[SimGirlKiss]

@bleachboy14 Sengoku Basara

[9EsPaDa]

whats the anime?

[AllanJpa]

Lovable Igniz =D

[NephandiMan]

I like how he refers to himself as "ware." Like the royal "we," except with morrrrre rrrrrrolled Rrrrrrrrrrr's.

[Emporerofkortoph]

I just came

[dlausactor6373]

The only way the English dub could've measured up to this level of awesome would be if Travis Grainger of 4PP was the voice of Nobunaga.

[SuzumiyaL]

I'M THE SIX LORD OF SEIYUUS, WAKAMOTO NORIO!

[newagepun]

@SuzumiyaL clearly his right hand man is jun fukuyama and his high general is Tomokazu Sugita.

[gohpenghng1]

what anime is this

[Brendanbj101]

@gohpenghng1 sengoku basara

[MrJDred]

anyone else think this guy has the coolest fucking voice ever?

[runefan213]

Oda wat?

[Puppenspielsmeister]

OMG

EMPEROR CHARLES D:

[FacelessWarriorBobbk]

HARRO EBERYNYAN! HOW ARE YOU? FINE SANKYUU!

[Azmodeus87]

@FacelessWarriorBobbk OH MAI GAH!

[TurnAGundam]

@Azmodeus87 I WISH I WA A BADO!

[SBRSbulange]

@DShadow911 he says "ware wa oda nobunaga nari" which translates into i am oda nobunaga however without the end "nari" it would still translate into the same thing. the difference is that the way norio says it, to make it short its a different dialect that's from the sengoku period. i know its hard to understand unless you actually know japanese and all its different dialects. but it doesn't change the fact that norio is epic

[Myaiga]

all i heard was oda noburrurrurururrurrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrr

[NephandiMan]

Nobunaga wishes he were a bird.

[greg0050]

@NephandiMan HOW ISSU HEEE? FINE SANKYUU

[sakuzenshi]

@NephandiMan HAH

[mundotaku]

@NephandiMan Oh my gah !!!!!!!

[metaXzero]

Where exactly is this from? As in episode of whatever show?

[rinseandrepeat]

@metaXzero It's from the opening episode of Sengoku Basara. The full series is available right on Youtube.

[lebron234567]

those who do not like wakamoto will die and repent forever

[zerodono]

If there are none after you, how are you the 6th anything?

[lestatv3]

HOOOLY FUUUUCK! O_____O

[TheGoddamnKanonMan]

ODO NABUNAGARRRRREEEEEE!

[majickid16]

does anyone else hear Link's sword yell in 0:07 to 0:08?

[ObsidianStray]

@majickid16

Sounds like jumping.

[DonEnsamul]

"Worship me." OK, I'LL DO IT.

[kurusuki]

@DonEnsamul Not like that : " Yes, your Majesty !"

[DaPsykopaatti]

Wakamoto should've had voiced Chuck Greene in Dead Rising 2.

[meirus]

He's scarier in Basara 3. Sorry, I just can't take him serious when I have to look at that mustache all the time.

[13thfire]

Norio Wakamoto's voice is 10x stronger than Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick

[skellytinhood]

The animation doesn't do that narration justice.

[TheHauntedFarm]

Wakamoto is the Japanese BRIAN BLESSED.

[Benegor]

Somebody knows name of soundtrack ?

[Archzenom]

This guy is a a badass LARGE HAM!

[TheHauntedFarm]

When Norio Wakamoto was a policeman, he never carried a gun. He simply screamed "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM" at the top of his lungs once a year and all crime in Tokyo (if not all of Japan) ceased.

[phoenixrisinghigh]

@TheHauntedFarm you forgot that they would stop, stand at attention, and scream in unision "YES YOUR MAJESTY!!" after he spoke.

[TheHauntedFarm]

@phoenixrisinghigh

Oh, yes, how could I forget?

[gigantor21]

@TheHauntedFarm - Wakamoto >>> Kira in crime reduction.

[TheHauntedFarm]

@gigantor21

Kira had to rely on a notebook. Wakamoto simply uses his vocal chords.

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

@gigantor21 And the best part about that is that Wakamoto actually used to be a policeman.

[Tenkuuken]

@SeraphimSwordmaster not just a policeman, an anti-riot policeman.

[jiachao]

@YouPooper

I don't normally say this but I loled so hard!

[giygasattack]

The title states the obvious.

[Raxqorz]

he sounds badass... hard to think that he has really been a cop once LOL

[dtpc191991]

@Raxqorz

Mabey was like the bad cop, sort of thing.

[SpartanUnDead]

wich anime is that?

[godzilla4189]

@SpartanUnDead Sengoku Basara, an anime adaption of the Capcom Games of the same name.

[Goutetsu13]

this voice actor is awesome. I love how he really draws out words. He makes every anime so much better. I didn't like the show Gokusen that much, but I just loved any scene with him.

[xKagatox]

so... Norio wakamoto seeks to rule Japan (Sengoku Basara) because he already rules britannia (Code Geass) he already had his way with Android 18 (DragonBallZ) and sat down in pure delight eating melons (Victoreem from Zatch bell).

all in all He's a very busy man.

[wiredhuman]

@xKagatox

On top of that, he owns a private ninja school where he molests underage girls (Shinobuden).

[TheInvshika]

ODA NOBUNAGARRARARRURUIIIII

[Haruko51689]

@TheInvshika lol +1

[ggggaah]

若本て結構アンチ増えてるぞ？

万人受けするとは思えんね...

What？

His voice is always same thing....

And, voice creepy.....

Please don't Disappoint me...

[mementomori39]

I fucking love this guy. Best voice actor ever.
