the English-language version of the 2018 spinoff Judgment. Yagami's
voice was meant to make him sound like a "bona fide badass" regardless

require me to let go of the tricks that you use to push a performance
through, and I really did need to fall back on authenticity and
genuine groundedness". Chun found staying faithful to the spirit of
the Japanese version challenging but enjoyed portraying Yagami's blend
of seriousness and comedy. He said having to scream in certain parts
of the game was difficult. Chun was surprised by the depth of Yagami's
character arc, considering his work on the game an unforgettable
experience. He found the character easy to connect with because of his
realistic characterization.
