The idea of losing ANY of the Straw Hats IS EXTREMELY heartbreaking to me. Kazuki Yao got Franky to be created by Oda to keep using his voice...

If we lose him he will be the second Straw Hat with a permanent replacement...

This has been a long time coming sadly, smoking has absolutely destroyed Yao's voice.

That’s sad. I think we’re all being a bit premature about him dropping out of voicing Franky, but it’s weird to think about someone else voicing the character.

Not if you’re cognizant of the fact that new actors taking over old roles because the original actor died,retired, or screwed up is pretty common.

Man, this sucks. You could hear him really struggling with Franky at times over the past year or two; I read some Japanese speakers noting that at the worst of it a few of his lines were barely comprehensible. I have to think this will extend to Franky too, at least for the short-term. I hope that he's able to get treatment for whatever's going on.
