Kuwabara's Lament - Ep 89 - Lanipator

[mysterykcad]

When you think about it, Kuwabara is actually pretty genre savvy. I mean, how many characters in a shonen anime know that they're supposed to get stronger when things look hopeless?

[DeathGodRiku]

BEST. BROMANCE.EVER...in anime

[TheNipponLover]

wow... this was a very touching moment, and this was just as good as the original! to me haha. but really... this really brings back some nostalgic feelings... yyh can be so emotional and tear jerking sometimes; i actually teared up watching this ;) very very very nice job! this was awesome! :')

[Linkdarkside]

those bastards never released that awesome song.

[russellmania77]

Yyh*

[russellmania77]

This is the best song from tug

[ljw4]

season 3 of this show had the slowest start ever but once it got going it was probably the best season!

[7Write4This9Heart7]

AW! *U* So sweet! I loved this part of the show! One of my favorite moments of the series! *U*

[Persona4fan75]

u gotta remake this to make it even more badass

[Derminkator]

Kuwabara is my favorite character and it really pi**ed me off to see he wasn't in the 3 king saga but a few times anyways kuwabara is awesome!

[TheSupaTwinkie]

@Derminkator ino right?! to be honest he isnt my fravortie charater but he still deserves to be in the final arc!!

[TheMysteryman2266]

i thought this was the original u make a great kuwabara

[kreestenkreesten]

I've always thought Kuwabara was an under-appreciated character. Nice video!

[rebeccab32]

dammit u made me cry all over again

[vayda711]

i think you forgot "INCASE YOU FORGOT I'M KUWABARA AND I GOT A SWORD!!!"XD

[13minutestomidnight]

This was surreal... Really surreal....

... And a little too disturbingly accurate.

Damnit now I'm gonna end up going back and re-watching the entire YYH series just to get this bit in context, aren't I?

Damn you, Lanipator!

[MyHatori]

Lanipator vs Chris Sabat, Sonny Strait, and Justin Cook. Lanipator wins, FATALITY.

[runedeath106]

YOU ALL LOST THE GAME

[MrGojiralee]

@runedeath106 WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! WHY?!

[ChaosofST]

Well. This is my second to first favorite scene and while some of the voice weren't accurate (for various reason) Your Kuwabara impression sent me in tears of how absolutely great it was

[boradis]

Great job. I hear that doing comedy is a great way to hone dramatic skills since that kind of timing and delivery is so tricky.

[wafuru2]

That was epic!

[XXXLexii]

Lanipator...

You give me goosebumps.

When I watched this episode on television for the first time, I cried. I seriously cried and your dub has almost the same effect. The only thing that threw me off was the extra sound effect of the zapping for the spirit energy around Kuwabara's hand. Other than that, it was the exact same effect. You do Kuwabara so well, its a surprise no one has given you a job. I really love your work. Think I've commented on this video before, but I cannot remember.

~Lexi

[PlushQueen]

Man Lani you sure are something else! Never crossed my mind you could be serious as well as funny.

I hope I hear your voice in future anime dubs or cartoons in the near future!

[piro632]

Was that you or the real voice actor for sensui cause that sounded perfect.

[gorillazfreak1]

DUDE!! This is freaking epic!!!

[XXXLexii]

I've thought this about you since I first watched your abridged for Yu Yu Hakusho!

You. Are. A. Freaking. God!

I especially love how you play Kuwabara so well. When I watched the actual video from Funimation, I cried and this did not lose any of that emotion! You're a genius and I agree with DreamingRaven and Olzuma. You should get a job at funimation! You'd be the perfect addition to their operation! :3

~Lexi

PS-- CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ABRIDGED EPISODE!! :3

[Lazypug]

what is the song?

[killercore3]

Kuabara is...wait

*Comment removed*

DAMN IT!

[HarukoZ]

the funny thing is, when Kuwabara "died" in the tournament and suddenly came alive, that scene is so similar to when Haku "killed" Sasuke. I just laughed at that because I watched Naruto first and I saw this scene... oh good times.

[hollowice999]

@HarukoZ kuwabara didnt die. toguro attacked him and kuwabara had planned on dying but toguro missed his vitals on purpose just to get yusuke angry

[HarukoZ]

@hollowice999

I know that, thus I put " " on the word died.

[whitewingzero]

So sad...every time I watch this ep T_T

[XXcerin]

Dude. Epic. 

[AnimeNoahXD]

All good but sensui

[ScarrFacexKiller]

WTF why hasn't Funimation called you lol?XD

You did a GREAT job with the whole scene,especially Kuwabara's.

P.S.I can't wait till you get here with the Abrudged series after this.:D

[LoginsLife]

w8 is the seires of yyha relly this far in? if it is were are the other episodes!?

[candysugarhoney]

omg, i like the voice 0:01

[Nagafeanor]

Amazing. After I watched this, and I have seen the series before, all I could say was Damn. You had me fully engrossed in this scene. I am really not sure how to accurately portray my approval of how you did this, but truly amazing work.

[moonbright9]

I still can't believe at how perfectly you do Kuwabara's voice. it's amazing - it was only because i'd just watched the episode that i was able to pick up minute differences between the two. so awesome

[haydentheonlyhayden]

wait.

i only watched yuyu to about episode..24? what actually happens? does yusuke die from that bitch?

thats fucked up.

i hate when people are about to die, and they just smile at you.

ugh, fucking...X DF

[spazzeddaemon]

@haydentheonlyhayden sadly, he did die, but while the others fight sensui in the demon realm it is revealed that yusuke is part demon from several generations back, and this death allows his demon powers to wake up and revive him for round 2

[MrPeepees]

@spazzeddaemon yeh couldnt even touch yusuke then

[CaptainRichyHarmes]

Voices are bang on, just a little problem with the final mix (by which i mean levels)

[hollowice999]

lani does such a great job with the voices that there were times that i thought that it was the actual show

[AquaBenten]

You kick so much ass! Hopefully you can get an opportunity to do this for real!

[mullent169]

COME ON YOU COULD HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT FUNNY LANNI.

i still liked it but seriously.

[princeofdarkness316]

Wow this is good.... like REALLY good.... wow.

[strapedupshaty]

it would be funny if at the end when yusuke said kuwabara you're still gay

[SharpTongueMonster]

I love Kuwabara. Yu Yu Hakusho wouldn't have been the same without him.

[Derminkator]

@SharpTongueMonster Yeah and the proof of that is if you watch an episode from the 3 king saga and then go back to an older episode.

[Scormio99]

Wow, just as epic as the original (if not more so). Easily one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the anime, and you definitely did it justice.

[Pimpact206]

Wow, you may do Kuwabara better or at least as good as Chris Sabat.

[AtomicJaz]

Wow. I just rewatched this episode about two weeks ago, and it seriously made me cry.

I almost cried again.  Haha, I am so lame.

Anyway, nicely done.

[lovly231]

you should redo yu yu hakusho poltergeist report. it would be awsome to hear it with the regular voices. i would pay you for that : ). also i really love your videos. Please keep it up your actually really amazing at it!

[jerelle09]

best moment ever

[SergeiBloodRyubi]

Am I the only one that the Spirit Sword-Gun Lance Maneuver is FUCKING EPIC?

[wlkrtxtnger69]

Kuwabara: He's got a lightsaber, does that mean he's a Jedi?

[DeathGodRiku]

damn. kuwabara was useful.

[naruking11]

i really.... need to finish.... watching the series... YuYuHackusho is awsome

[santuary45]

XD And to think I just watched this episode a few hours ago XD

[amberace]

Kuwabara kicks ass! I love it when they show his true potential and how deep his character is.

[the0dd1]

nice

[VTPPGLVR]

"Too nasally" "not gritty enough", those are suggestions the director gives based on the character. As none of us are the director of the English dub of YYH, the only valid critique any of us can give is if he conveyed the characters convincingly through his voice.

And I say he did.

[soccerdawg06]

I was wondering if this was actually the kuwabara from the show or actually Lani...haha good job lani

[PaperBard]

This guy is funny, but there is still a major difference from a comic abridged series creator and a professional voice actor. Sorry guys, but Lani's not good enough to voice professional anime. Don't give him a big head.

[enigma4280]

@PaperBard So what you're saying is.... you're a hater.

[MarcomasterV1]

@PaperBard and who are you to say that?!

[ClashManDX]

Your Kuwabara is a little too nasal and needs more anger, but otherwise an excellent job.

[Antari0424]

Really awesome and it gave me goosebumps watching it (or it could b because it's 60 degrees here lol)! XD

[sylphstarwind]

o_o I really think you deserve to get a ton of voice acting work. You're probably even better than some of the VA's already out there, since you have the capacity to do a bunch of characters without people being able to tell . Though, I would be bummed if you quit making your own videos after that...

[korijoe]

what happens next

[blackraven654]

i know this is supposed to be sad, but with his kuwabara voice its kinda funny. i dont know if i should be worried.

[smashbrosfan25]

this perty good P.s Your Elder tougoro voice is good.

[AlchemyDetective]

This is just plain awesome! Your abridged videos are great, but for the first minute and a half, I really questioned if this was the official clip. You've definitely got a knack for this.

[dh33jh4y]

What's the title of the theme that was playing in the background.. It starts at 34sec.

[BebopCoIa]

no matter what you think about him.

a mullberrie's a tree and Kuwabara's a man

[mastermaurice2]

COuld someone please tell me the name of the song that starts when Kuwabara is trying to get his sword, that song is awesome

[RoboBopBop2]

Tanaki no Hate or something along does lines

[NinaRose475]

this is really good! well done!

[jbuckleyfan33]

For sure my 2nd favorite moment in all of YYH, right behind Yusuke's final power-up against Yomi. Kudos Lani

[dannyKOsprey]

Fair enough. Well played, Lanipator.

[sportyjewel]

*CLAPS* It is so touching this can make someone cry

[williamthewrestler]

one word: epic

that is all

[mwzkmMOVIES]

i like this dub but i cant stop laughing at how isukis voice is british

[Genesishelllawl]

LOL!

[kazimakuwabara]

;^; i love Kuwabara. He is just awesome, and i've always enjoyed your pardoy series and thought you were great with their voice but wow. This scene is always just hard to watch regularly, but you did so well i was just as moved as when watching the series.

You got my lady emotions going man! Cut it out! D:

[Edwards1nonlylove09]

Dude, I just watched this episode like an hour ago and I must say, it sounds as if you've taken this clip directly from the show, but for some reason I like this better (probably because of the background music). I applaud you Lanipator. You're awesome. I look forward to watching an anime with your voice someday.

[CaribbeanRyda]

Holy hell dude, the Kuwabara voice is perfect.

[qwentin355]

damn you and your extented imfo now i cant write wat i was gunna why did i click that now im being drawn away from writing "any Kuwabara is gay jokes in the comments" by the sheer power of lani why

I realy shouldnt have gon on and left it at where the first period should have been but its to late to erase well i guess its never to late but then this excuse will be pointless and i dont wanna waste a perfectly adequate excuse

[YamiAkimotoMayu]

Itsuki* (Damn, I wish I could spell)

Moreover, Lani, you really should go in to a voice acting career - you certainly have the talent to make it very far. Keep it up! =D

[YamiAkimotoMayu]

*Claps* Amazing as always, Lani-sama. Your Kuwabara and Yusuke voices are practically unintelligible from the actual dub's voices, and all of your other voices are not far off. You even did Elder Toguro, Sensui, Itsuko and Seaman in here too! I must say, your Elder Toguro voice is AWESOME - still has that slimy tone to the voice that makes me shudder.

Five stars - incredible job =D Then again, we shouldn't expect anything less ^_^

[supergub1]

ok...I just can't take him seriously with that voice.

[BarackoShujie]

You're Kuwabara voice is -perfect-.

[BarackoShujie]

Your* Hate noticing a mistake right when you send the comment. Youtube needs to let you edit/delete mistakes.

[LAMALAMA93]

Bad Lani, you made me cry just like the show... I guess that means you did good

[Barkit]

Best line from the abridged series:

"Urameshi! You better come back to life or I'll kill you!"

Classic. ^.^

[Phoenixangelgal]

What's the background music?

[RoboBopBop2]

Tatakai No Hate

[TheLenixxx]

dude this is awesome. your kuwabara is dead on.

[olzuma]

Dang that's an accurate voice you've got. Quick, Funinmation hurry and get this guy before 4Kids tries to offer him a dub piece. D:

[GuitarCatz13]

lol

[mylightside]

That will never happen, 4kids only hires crap (with the possible exception of DAN GREEN).

[olzuma]

You're right. What I said was very immoral of me to even assume they'd hire any excellent actors aside from Dan Green. (Seriously, how did they ever find the guy? lol)

[mylightside]

Immoral is an odd word to use...

[supergub1]

Wait a minute...Dan Green was actually in an actual dub???

[DreamingRaven]

I'm surprised Funimation hasn't offered you a job.

[nitemaricv2]

@DreamingRaven we all are

[RussianCritic]

kuwabara is.......sexualy confused......

[cheetahkit]

u stopped @ ep. 16, not 12.

[SymphoniaSoul]

awesome Kuwahara fandub

[idontknowyoumitch]

Kuwabara was always my favorite. <33333

[hiddenleafgod]

u still suck "Kuwabara

[UrbanBeast55]

AWESOME!!!!

[NaruXHina1980]

does yusuke die!? please tell me he doesnt i mean he is like my baby!

[ScorchingAxel]

...0_o

he's a fictional character

[vegagundam2]

yes he died, but he came back as a demon. looked the same though

[shenron7]

yeah, but he come back to life as a demon

[imaloony8]

He alreaded died once in the series >.> The first episode, in fact.

[dbzfan3]

he "dies" then his demon power activates :p

[clickshooter3]

horay for the chapter black saga

[jjlb84]

Epic  great job

[PrincessofAkatsuki]

this was scary good. Your just as good at the serious parts then at every other part ^^

[Xbalanque84]

Ah, the tearful lament of a devoted sidekick...

And while I'm sure many people have said this, you sound just like Kuwabara's English voice actor

[tacoshitter]

lol this joke has feelings. no it dosnt.

[sabata2]

This made me remember how fucking awesome the whole show is.

Very dead on Kuwabara.

[kbone767676]

i lol'd at 2:15

[SuperOtakuGirl]

This. Is. Amazing. I really mean it. You really did justice to the character. :)

[Phoenixangelgal]

Wow... you were able to match Kuwabara's voice perfectly... I think I was ready to cry... It's very beautiful.

Kuwabara is an awesome character, he goes from a punk who gets his ass handed to him to a smart and popular guy in high school who happens to be the strongest human. Yah, he's awesome, man.

What song did you use during the flashback monologues?

[fank124]

Wow This Ep made me wanna cry

[superNaruto96]

one word:AWESOME

[CrystaIClear]

I thought this was a real ep. for a sec. That was epic Lani.

Btw what was that epicly used epic music? during 02:47?

[Bhelryss]

dude! this totally sounds like the show kuwabara! kuwabara's like one of my fave's so i really enjoy when someone does him justice ^^

[DamnES21Mutt]

Hm... alot of times I think that the professional dubbers would be better replaced by the fans, at least the fans actually know what other fans are looking for in a series, as far as voices and stuffs = ) You did a really good job with this. I had never really seen Yusuke and Kuwabara's relationship as a serious friendship (jokingly gay, and two guys who enjoyed getting into fights, yes, but actual, factual friends? Hah.).

Anyway, great job even if this comment is two years late ^_^

[shenron7]

wow id call Kuwabara gay but vegeta also cryed like a little btich when he learn he couldnt do any thing in episode 85 when he got his ass kick by freeza and in episode 86 when he shared all his emotions with goku before dieing along with his pride and self repect and in the dragonball z movie fusion reborn movie 12 when he cryed like a little girl when he learn once again that he sucks, but i dont think you suck vegeta i think your SUPER, SPECIAL!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! :D

[BlackFlame1708]

i agree with Destinyfire0 u do a great job on these videos, maybe u shud look into it

[viazared666]

Kuwabara is the best ever! Period! And Lani does a justice when he voices him!

[ristychan]

oh jezus.... that was... that was amazingly done. I didn't even realize that was your voice until I read the side panel..

[Destinyfire0]

Lani are you planning on going into professional voice acting? because if you did you'd totlly rock!

[InToonamIsLegacy]

majora's mask last hour song would have gone great in the beginning, if you could make a lead up out of it..

[Johnny72689]

I f something ever happened to Chris Sabat where he died or for some reason couldn't dub anymore, you'd probably be the first choice to replace him, my first choice anyways. 5/5

[shenron7]

dont say such teribable things!!!!! i mean about the chirs sabat dieing thing not the lani replacing him that would be awesome if he worked for FUNimation :D

[kysix]

or more like a borther

[darkshinobimattse]

great voice acting, lani! kuwabara's one of my favorite anime character's.

one question tho: on that part where the toguro said "they want to die with honor!" wasn't it the younger toguro who said it, not the elder? otherwise, great elder toguro voice!

[sparknova1]

Elder Toguro said it he says "Look brother, they want to die with honor"

[Laxagoodname300]

actually you're both right. the english dub itself screwed up in the flash back there. younger toguro is the one who said that in the actual episode when he's fighting yuske and kuwabara (episode 25) but in the flash back they made elder toguro say it. i don't know if they made the same mistake in the japanese version or not.

[sparknova1]

Thanks for clearing that up

[iDrowzeeProductions]

Ni-hice.

[Lii0Lionheart]

Good job on the dub, man. It's hard telling you apart from Justin or Chris's versions of Yuusuke and Kuwabara especially.

[Aya0Inigo]

....I'm... i'm gonna cry T^T

[pantsproductionsco]

kuwabara always has and always will rock. He's got a pompadour.

[SSJKuhan]

LaniPWNAGE!

[0takuN64]

you really should go into voice acting for anime! you're really good!!!!!!

[zigguaurt8]

i agree with everyone else, you would make an excellent voice actor. also great music choice.

[Yawnster177]

lol, that's the same music that plays during the actual scene.

Good job on the video, though. One of my favorite scenes in all of Yu Yu Hakusho... Along with the Yomi fight... Hmm... they both have the same music... maybe I just really like the song.

[zigguaurt8]

ya i love the song too, he said he addded music, so i thought this song wasn't in this scene.

[Corrugo]

You know seeing your skill on this I wonder how you would do an entire episode - like say the last one. I agree with most of the people who commented on this, you'd do great in a Voice Acting carreer.

[sasunaru4ever679]

Lani are you planning on going into professional voice acting? because if you did you'd totlly rock!

[Darnellelam15]

Kuwabara is now awesome! SPIRIT SWORD!

[Lanipator]

Umm... you know which two characters you're talking about right? XD

[kiramaru16]

wtf gohan?i dont remeber gohan sounding like vegeta

[theseeker12]

i agree.....it sounds so professional truly

[shatteredglassart]

HOLY SHIT!

Lanipator should go into professional Voice Acting

[eartianwerewolf]

This makes me like Kuwabara more!!!!!

He is soooooo emotional!

I wants to cry- you are amazing!

[Shadowdetective12]

kuwabara is not gay at all. it simply the strong bond between 2 partners and friends. when i1st saw this, i was tearing. lol but when he summoned the jigen tou [dimension sword] was awesome

[Jerry96587]

Does anybody know the name of the song that starts at 0: 30? with the swelling drums?

[kiramaru16]

tatakai no hate

[Jerry96587]

THANKS i've been looking for that for like a year now lol

[kiramaru16]

np.yeah i found it becuase i needed it today as well.(did a fandub of the same scene)lol

[ulmwarrior]

someone has to say it he though of men and his 'sword' grew bigger

[newt21365]

All you faggots need to stop saying he's gay.You need to watch Yu Yu Hakusho to understand.Its a great show!

[deoxy360]

Its a speech of friendship, a very emotional speech of the friendship of kazuma and yusuke....

[AmericanKosuPureSama]

If this is a Kuwabara fandub then FANTASTIC! for a minute i thought this was the real voice actor! NICE!

[KTChamberlain]

That would've been cool to hear the line "No straight man would be caught dead with Kayko." like in YYHA 13.

[Cornwiggle]

Too bad you didn't use the original Japanese dialogue...the english dub is just...terrible. I can't take it seriously.

[Cornwiggle]

I didn't mean your dub was terrible, I meant FUNimation's.

I mean, giving Toguro Ani and Keiko a line in KUWABARA'S mind when he's thinking about Yusuke?

Ugh.
