Yeah, that feels like a fitting choice.

I'm actually not a fan of this pick. Almost every recent character he's voiced sounds like Bakugo (for better or worse), and I can't get that out of my mind when his characters speak. And, honestly, I imagined Ignia having a slightly deeper voice.

Reading the manga, I always imagined him having Acnologias voice, Kosuke Toriumi which would fit well but I guess it would just make people confused or something

The guy from Wind Breakers was funny, he was silent for the whole series and then he opens his mouth and starts screaming with Bakugo's voice, it hit me really hard, I had to pause the video.

I wonder who will become the 3rd English voice of Igneel after the Passing of Bob Magruder and Jim White?

I'm surprised Okamoto hadn't already been in Fairy Tail. In a different life he would've been Natsu.

He actually does go kind of deep for Ignia in the actual episode.

Yeah, his voice is very noticeable and iconic now. It's that higher pitch and voice cracking/squeaking which I find enjoyable. Gives the character he voices more life you know.
