It's canon that joker is just sassy in and out of character😭😭

[eddmario]

Shoutout to Xander having Joker's mask as a tattoo on his arm

[timothypulliam]

I had no idea Xander was also the announcer in Smash, honestly blew me away.

I love Cassandra's voice, it's so recognizable.

[PhantomEnderium]

4:50 "did you have any actual words" well considering there's a yt video of over 6 minutes of joker dialogue from JUST vanilla, yeah he had some lines lol

[luminary_weeb]

AHHH YOU CAN SEE ME THERE! I'm in the Ryuji cosplay in the front row!

[torquedawg]

having jokers va proclaim shujin trio supremacy makes me so happy

[Jokersimp]

Having met Xander, he was very sweet and so open with the fans. I still need to meet Cassandra. Hopefully one day

[Gabe-nj]

They forgot to mention Matthew Mercer and Max Mittleman

[ZahriAlang]

I kept forgetting it was Laura Bailey that did the Fe MC in Persona 3 Portable

[leorojas]

I met both Cassandra and Xander last year! I met Cassandra at Anime Impulse and Xander at a funko pop shop called OG Collectibles in Downey, California. These two were amazing as Joker and Morgana in Persona 5.

[JustPsycoz]

I didn’t know That’s his real voice in and out of character

[kingkirby]

Fun Fact (I recently discovered): Xander was also Jimmy Firecracker in DBZA and Deadpool in the Cell Games shorts

[ryfitadf]

They should have got Xander to do the voice of Morgana. She sounds exactly like him.

[senpafl]

3 Minutes in and Cassandra blows out a massive hot take, truly Morgana's VA XD
(I think we all understand Kyuubei well enough to rightfully dislike him)

[Mr.M_M.M.]

For a minute I thought that Guy with mullet was Max Mittleman. But no that is indeed Xander Mobus. I didn't even recognize him. 😐

[kerozine]

Cassandra looks different than she usually does. I need to get used to it now. 😁

[toma]

So they listened to Dagda and said, "Yeah, thats our protagonist". Fascinating

[sandy_shark]

I wanna do what they do so bad. They’re having so much fun!

[santitheperson]

Sometimes I feel kinda bad for voice actors in scenarios like this, they all get asked such overly specific questions about random moments or things that are out of their control lol Like the one question about Steve vs Alex... Really? Lol

[RaginKavu]

Missed opportunity to say "Looking cool Joker" right at the beginning...
Other than that, great pannel!
