History WMG / HighschoolDxD

[[WMG: Hades will be voiced by a famous voice actor for ''Hero'']]

Hades is one of the main villains of the series and will most likely appear in ''Hero'' at least for the first half. Here's a list of guesses who will play the character:

* Creator/NorioWakamoto, who's voiced villainous characters such as Cell, Alexander Anderson, Kagato and Vicious.
* Creator/JojiNakata. He's also played several villains, like Hody Jones, Zavok and Folken de Fanel.
* Hiroshi Iwasaki, since his ''Sailor Moon Crystal'' character, Death Phantom, is basically a skeleton like Hades is.
* Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo. He's known for possessing a deep voice which is suitable for villains such as Crocodile, King Cold and Dabra.
* Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa. Morikawa has previously voiced well-known villains or anti-villains such as Naraku, Griffith, Eneru, Mard Geer and Sephiroth.
* Creator/UnshoIshizuka. He has lent his voice for villains like Augus, Void, Victor Hoskins, Russ Cargill and Lex Luthor.
* Creator/KenjiroTsuda. Given that he voiced villains or anti-villains such as Erik "Killmonger" Stevens, Byaku, Martinet, Vinsmoke Yonji and Kylo Ren, it wouldn't be surprising if he had a major role in the series.
* Creator/KoichiYamadera. Beerus is one of his major roles in the ''Dragon Ball'' series, which was created by Ishibumi's inspiration, Creator/AkiraToriyama. Given that connection, it wouldn't be surprising if he would voice Hades or even a major role in the series.

[[WMG: Yasaka will be voiced by Creator/KikukoInoue]]

It's not like this would be the first time she's [[Anime/AKB0048 voiced]] [[Manga/IkkiTousen a kind-hearted]] [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} mother]] before.
* {{Jossed}}. Yo Taichi is voicing the role.

** Confirmed with Passione ignoring the last three episodes of ''[=BorN=]'' in favor of rebooting volume 6 into a more faithful adaptation in episode 0 and adapting Volume 7's introduction of the Hero Faction into episode 1.

* And with Crunchyroll announcing their simulcast of ''Hero'', Funimation will most likely be the main licensor.

* Creator/UnshouIshizuka. He has lent his voice for villains like Augus, Void, Victor Hoskins, Russ Cargill and Lex Luthor.

* Probably do a TakeThat to ''[=BorN=]'' by adding in BroadStrokes or ignoring the earlier season's anime-original storyline altogether. According to Ichiei Ishibumi himself, ''[=BorN=]'' has been subjected to CanonDiscontinuity.

Since Creator/{{Funimation}} is streaming all of the subtitle streams for the first three seasons on Creator/{{Crunchyroll}}, they will have to figure out a way to simulcast the subs and the dubs should they license ''Hero''. Maybe Funimation would keep the censored versions for a while until the release date of the first home video versions, in which the streams will be uncensored, like they've done in the past?

Because Passione's adapting volumes 9 and 10 for ''Hero'' for 13 episodes, the potential plots they could adapt or add to the series can include:

* Add potential BroadStrokes for the anime-only storylines in ''[=BorN=]'', do a TakeThat to the season, or ignore it altogether. According to Ichiei Ishibumi himself, ''[=BorN=]'' has been subjected to CanonDiscontinuity.

Because Passione's adapting volumes 9 and 10 for ''Hero'', the potential plots they could adapt or add to the series can include:
* Ravel Phenex becoming an Occult Research Club member.

* Ignore the ''[=BorN=]'' storyline with Loki altogether. According to Ichiei Ishibumi himself, ''[=BorN=]'' has been subjected to CanonDiscontinuity.

[[WMG: Yasaka will be voiced by Creator/KikukoInoue.]]

[[WMG: Shalba Beelzebub will make an early appearance at the end of the series.]]

Given that it's an ongoing story, it wouldn't be a surprise that Shalba Beelzebub would be included as an EarlyBirdCameo. At that time, he was revived by the Khaos Brigade and wanted to exact revenge on the Occult Research Club.

[[WMG: Xenovia Quarta's possible replacement actress]]

Given that Creator/RisaTaneda is slowly getting back into work on her voice acting after recovering from an unfortunate throat illness, there's some chance Taneda would possibly be [[TheOtherDarrin recast]] if she doesn't [[RoleReprisal reprise her role]]. Despite how iconic characters like Film/JamesBond, Franchise/IndianaJones, Manga/SaintSeiya, Anime/AstroBoy, {{Anime/Doraemon}}, Franchise/LupinIII and Anime/CuteyHoney are, there have been multiple actors to play them.
* Confirmed. Taneda will reprise her role after all.

* Resolve the situation with Issei and Rias's love for the second half of the series.

It's not like this would be the first time she's [[Anime/AKB0048 voiced]] [[Manga/AhMyGoddess a kind-hearted]] [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} mother-like]] character before.

Given her roles as the goddess Belldandy and her penchant for playing motherly figures, it won't be surprising if Inoue had a role in ''Hero''.

Maybe Creator/NorioWakamoto or Creator/JojiNakata? They're both known for playing villainous characters before. Or perhaps Hiroshi Iwasaki, since his ''Sailor Moon'' character, Death Phantom, is basically a skeleton like Hades is.
