Side thought of the day:
Now it's known that Sabat always hated Vic, I wonder if he purposely gave him "bad" roles he didn't know would turn out to be "good" roles?
Granted I don't which ones of these went throught Sabat, some of Vic's "big" roles seem to follow a suspicious pattern:
- Sabo (from One Piece): introduced as a childhood friend who died, before it turns out he isn't actually dead and has become a major player.
- Obito (from Naruto): introduced as a comic relief, before he reveals himself to be a main overall vilain and an important part of the backstory.
- Ikkaku (from Bleach): introduced as a simple goon, a mini-boss, but became a very popular character and got his own dedicated episodes.
- Rohan (from JJBA): introduced as a one-shot vilain for a secondary character, then became part of the main group of his arc.
All of these characters, you wouldn't guess when they first appeared how good of a role they would turn out to be for their voice actor.
In the end, did Vic ever get roles from Sabat that were obviously important characters the moment they were introduced?
