Yeah these "did you know they hate their role"-rumors cling to actors who don't fancy their appearances in popular franchises, often applied by others to spread rumors, but the reality of the situation in most cases is that these actors just don’t want to be associated with one single thing forever, no matter how much they enjoyed working on it.

This is true especially in Toku which is a medium were many actors make their first big appearance to get a hold in the industry. At some point after that you preferably have much bigger projects in your career to work on.

Some actors are of course perfectly fine reprising their role, others don’t want that image stuck on them, and then there are those that quit acting altogether because it wasn’t for them. All of this is valid.

It is however, nice to see that Odgiri is working on the project. For the longest time I personally wanted for him to return because the character of Yusuke Godai would fit wonderfully for a single crossover movie role, as someone who casually drops into a story and then leaves again.

That picture is awesome by the way, so good to see these legends reunited.
