It's a wonder the world didn't implode when a meeting of the two titans of Attack on Titan happened.It was a legendary doubling of the Erens as YÅ«ki Kaji, the Japanese voice actor for the protagonist Eren Yeager, posted a photo of himself with Bryce Papenbrook, the English voice actor for Eren, on Twitter. The two met when Kaji was in Los Angeles for a Google Pixel event called "Another Sky." In the photo, Kaji says that his feelings for being a voice actor have grown strong again after reuniting with Papenbrook. The voice actor says that he thought it was entertaining to see the differences between the Japanese and American performances and was honored to do the program.
Papenbrook replied to Kaji and was equally complimentary in his comments, saying, "It was [an] honor to connect with you." He continued, "I hope I have the privilege of sharing more roles with you in the future. It would be incredible if our paths cross again."
The two voice actors have crossed paths before -- and not only in their roles as Eren for Attack on Titan. During the 2018 Anime Expo, the two of them were part of the panel for Season 3 of Attack on Titan where they discussed the upcoming season and their experiences. In their voice acting work, Kaji and Papenbrook voiced the protagonist Meliodas and his younger brother Zeldris from The Seven Deadly Sins and Wataru Asahina from Brothers Conflict. Outside of their anime roles, the two have also voiced the Crimson King in the action RPGYs IX: Monstrum Nox.
