Trivia

  • Ueda struggled the most with "making sure Speedwagon sounded like a good guy", despite his mannerisms in Part 1. He also found it more difficult to do vigorous lines while taking into account Speedwagon was much older in Part 2.[3]
  • Ueda's favorite season one character, not including his own, was Joseph Joestar. He likes Joseph's emotive and mean, yet appealing nature. [3]
