Notes[]
- This is the second and last dub from Iyuno produced for Crunchyroll before mostly becoming a union-only studio.
- Starting with the second season, Crunchyroll would move the dub's production from Iyuno in Los Angeles to their own studio in Dallas. However, the majority of the voice cast returned to reprise their roles.
- Reagan Murdock stepped in for Connor Colquhoun as Reiss Vulfe in Season 2.[4] Eventually Connor did return as Reiss for the whole season as confirmed by Shawn.[5]
- This is Fionn Kinsella, Connor Colquhoun, Cia Court, Darcy Maguire, Forest Lybarger, Brian Vigen, and Amanda Huerta's debut anime role.
