5. Gohan (Dragon Ball Z Kai):
Starting us off is Gohan's second voice. Stephanie Nadolny was Gohan's voice in the original Dragon Ball Z, as well as kid Goku's, but in recent years, it's gone on to Colleen. Whenever Colleen does a voice for a boy, she uses the same voice for all of them. And so, whenever she uses it, it always reminds me of her voice for Luffy and so it always makes me think of him whenever I hear her use it for someone else. And the same goes well for Gohan. It's essentially a recreation of what Stephanie did with the original and I think she really pulls it off. And it's all the more fun to think of that Luffy aspect whenever Gohan is using a Kamehameha. But Colleen also does well with Gohan's other emotions and capturing his sense of innocence at the start and then his awesomeness towards the Cell Games Saga.
4. Erza (Fairy Tail):
Next up is the first of the cool female characters Colleen's done. As one of, if not the toughest member of the Fairy Tail guild, Colleen gets to show off how strong she can make her characters. Erza is kinda feared by everyone in the guild with her huge arsenal of weapons and strong attitude. But something else that Colleen does really well with characters like Erza is she shows off vulnerability amazingly. Erza may be strong but she's still got vulnerable moments and Colleen does really well with all of her scenes.
3. Yaoyorozu (My Hero Academia):
At number 3 is a role that I think is somewhat similar and different from her other tough lady roles because Yaomomo is a character who's different because she does show signs of being cool, but not as much as her other characters and she's a bit of a know-it-all. And, with her not being as tough or confident as other, she's still able to give off the impression of vulnerability, but still likeable all around.
2. Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist):
Coming in close to number 1 is Clinkenbeard toughest female role. While that would more likely go to Erza, I just personally prefer Hawkeye. Better known as Riza Hawkeye, this sniper was one of the many soldiers to fight in the Ishvalan Civil War and came back traumatised. She's also incredible supportive and protective of Mustang, which Clinkenbeard does really well. She's able to make a tough military character feel really likeable and strong but also really vulnerable as well.
And my number 1 favourite Colleen Clinkenbeard anime performance is... Luffy (One Piece):
And finally at number 1 is Straw Hat Luffy. This should come as no surprise given how much I've praised her performance as Luffy before, but even more recently, I watched a One Piece movie I've never seen before, that being 3D 2Y, and she's still awesome as him. Being able to make her voice sound like a guy is one thing, but able to also capture all the fun, comedy, charisma and personality that makes Luffy such a great character is another thing entirely. Especially when a lot of Luffy's dialogue is mostly just a load of screaming. But, like I said, a good part of her performance is that she captures a lot of his charisma and that's already a great part about Luffy, but she still pulls off his epic moments while still having all his likeable aspects present the whole time. As well as just the fact that the voice is cool and fits him really well with it sounding like it grows up with Luffy himself. And, if they're gonna continue on with the dubbing of the One Piece anime soon, I can't wait to see her continue with this great performance of a great character. And all that is why Luffy is my favourite Colleen Clinkenbeard performance. And so, everyone, thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
