(Context: Rikyako voices the character Suzaku from the mobile game “Dragon Genesis -Bonds of the Holy War-”. See this post for details.)

I discovered that Suzaku has about 23 different lines, and ain’t nobody got time to make a video for all that. Well, I do have them all recorded, but I don’t know if they’re interesting enough to post. ʅฺ(゜▽ ゜)ʃ 

Anyway, here’s a short clip containing my favorite Suzaku quotes. Enjoy these sweet words from Rikyako~

Rough TL of the lines:

That guy...lately, he’s suddenly gotten cool, hasn’t he? ...HAH! How long have you been there? Y-You didn’t hear that just now, got it?!


H-Hold on! Y-Your face is too close...

C-Could this be a...d-d-D-DATE?!

I like you. I like you! I likeyoulikeyoulikeyou! I love you! I can’t help loving you...

A long time ago, I wrote a post about Shukashuu voicing a character in the mobile game “Dragon Genesis -Bonds of the Holy War-”. The character, Proserpina, is actually two people: Purose the cheerful goddess of spring, and Rupina the gruff queen of the underworld (the JP pronunciation of Proserpina, the Roman goddess of the underworld, is Puroserupina).

I thought that this role was fantastic because of the huge contrast between the two voices used for the character, so I promised that I would eventually record and translate all of her lines. However, this project kept getting pushed back due to unforeseen circumstances. I still do want to TL those lines, but admittedly it’s going to be a while before I can get around to it.

In the meantime, here’s a preview of some of the lines from Rupina, who I consider the more interesting of the duo (since Shukashuu uses a rarely-heard deep voice for Rupina). Rupina is violently protective of Purose - literally, she threatens extreme violence against the player at the smallest provocation.

Have fun listening to Shukashuu screaming death threats at you~

I’m not entirely sure about You being a yandere now, but I’m pretty sure that Chika’s gonna drive her crazy eventually. She does actually snap for a little bit in the “Kinmirai Happy End” audio drama (start at ~3:39 for context, or skip to ~4:14 if you just want to hear the yandere laugh).

For actual yandere lines, Shukashuu voices a character in the mobile game “Dragon Genesis ~Bonds of the Holy War~” (AKA DraGene) with an…interesting personality. Or should I say “personalities”, since it’s actually a character with two halves: a bright and cheery goddess of spring named Purose, and a fierce queen of the underworld named Rupina, who fight together as Proserpina (see my past post on the character for context).

Rupina is described as a tsundere (and she kinda is) in her profile, but she’s also violently protective of her other half. Like literally, she threatens violence against the player just for “looking at Purose with suspicious eyes”. Oh my god, you have no idea how many lines she has of her going “(ikemen voice) I’ll protect you no matter what, Purose!” and “(yandere voice) HEY BASTARD, STOP LOOKING AT PUROSE OR I’LL KILL YOU!!!!!!”

Honestly, the first time I heard Purose’s voice, I went, “Cute! It sounds different from the characters she’s voiced so far, but I can still definitely tell that’s Shukashuu!” Then Rupina popped up, and I was just like, “…HUH? WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!” The voice samples on Shukashuu’s official agency profile never revealed her ikemen voice (which she’s used in another mobile game aside from DraGene and the preview alone gave me chills omg), so when I heard Rupina I was in complete shock.

I’m still really behind on my promise to eventually translate and upload all of Shukashuu’s lines from that game, but what I can do at the moment is compile all of Rupina’s yandere lines. :3c

Rikyako recently announced on Twitter that, like Shukashuu, she’ll be providing her voice for a UR card in the mobile game “Dragon Genesis -Bonds of the Holy War-” (also known as DraGene). Rikyako voices Suzaku, the second character featured in this promo video!

Continuing the trend of mythological characters being featured as URs, Suzaku appears to based on the Vermillion Bird, a phoenix-like creature from Asian mythology.

Like the Twitter RT campaign for Shukashuu’s autograph, DraGene is hosting another giveaway with Rikyako’s autograph (2nd one in the above image) as a prize. Details can be found here - the rules appear to be similar, so you can check out the corresponding Shukashuu post if you’re curious about the details.

Some observations:

The body weight stat on Suzaku’s card is “灰になりたいのかしら？”, which is something along the lines of “Do you want to turn into ash?” ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

Her response to “Do you have someone you love?” is “I-I don’t! BAKA!”

Suzaku is kinda like a YohaRiko lovechild…? Like, she has Riko’s voice with Yoshiko’s tsundere-ness and “Worship me, for I am a mighty otherwordly being” Yohane persona. :3c

She literally has a line that just goes, “I like you. I like you! I likeyoulikeyoulikeyou! I love you!” and I’m having the hardest time right now getting it to pop up again pls come back

The first character (the one with the blue hair) is named Fleurety, based on a demon that serves under Beelzebub, and has power over hailstones. This character is voiced by Yoshimura Haruka, who’s known for the role of Jougasaki Mika from “THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls”.

@Saito_Shuka: ◎ Announcement I’m in charge of voicing Proserpina-chan!! I’ll be in your care!! And, somehow, somehow, I also got to sign an autograph! Please check it out over here too

Shout out to Shukamod (@saitou-shuka) for translating this tweet! ( ・∀・ )ゞ  

Shukashuu recently announced on Twitter that she’s voicing the character Proserpina in the mobile game “Dragon Genesis -Bonds of the Holy War-”!

Shukashuu’s character is likely inspired by Proserpina, the Roman goddess of spring and the queen of the underworld. The version by DraGene (the official abbreviation for the game) appears to have split this character into two based on the Japanese spelling of her name, Puroserupina (プロセルピナ), to create the spring goddess Purose and the underworld queen Rupina. Although these two are very different, it looks like Shukashuu is voicing both of them! So yeah, Shukashuu is a goddess in a mobage again~ :3c

The autograph that Shukashuu mentioned in her tweet is for a Twitter promotion hosted by DraGene. DraGene players will have a chance to win an autograph of the seiyuu voicing the new URs in the game by retweeting the official teaser video and following the official DraGene Twitter account. Links to the autograph campaign and the video are under the cut!
