So, randomly, it's always bugged me since the first Rikkai NationalsMyu that Tsuji's cadence when delivering his lines on the container differed strikingly from the rhythm that Tuti had adopted back during St. Rudolph. I realize I'm probably the only obsessed nerd who noticed it, but it always bugged me. This line:
Makeru tabi ni koko de hanseikai datta na
Tuti had a really solid, smooth delivery, rolling through the line pretty quickly to the "ni" before continuing on, but Tsuji spoke it more like, "Makeru TABI ni...koko de haneikai datta na", with some slight emphasis on "tabi", which as I said BUGGE ME XD; Not because it sounded wrong, but because it just differed from the delivery I'd always been used to, Tuti's.
But then, a few days back, I rewatched that scene--the ORIGINAL one, from the anime--for the first time in a while, because it was included on the PairPuri DVD for Golden Pair.
AND KNOW WHAT?
KONDOU!OISHI SAYS IT THE SAME WAY AS TSUJI. Which means a) Tuti just delivered it in his own style, pretty much how he wanted to, and b) TSUJI RELIGIOUSLY WATCHED THAT SCENE SO THAT HE COULD PARROT REAL!OISHI'S VOICE THERE. AWW. AWWWWWW.
I dunno why, but hearing that and realizing that it wasn't Tsuji who was sounding "off" but Tuti and I'd just gotten used to him, and that Tsuji had very obviously worked hard to get his cadence as close to the original as possible was just...really nice and made me feel happy XD
