Beelzebub English Dub -

Ian Sinclair as Tatsumi Oga is the anchor. Sinclair is famous for his deep, commanding voice (Whis from Dragon Ball Super , Brook from One Piece ), but here he channels a gruff, exhausted, barely-contained-rage energy. He sounds like a teenage brawler who just realized he’s now a full-time dad to a demon baby. His delivery of lines like “I’m gonna punt this kid into next Tuesday” feels organic, not forced. Opposite him, Leah Clark as Baby Beel (replacing the Japanese baby sounds with actual snorts, burps, and demonic giggles) gives the infant a personality without words. You believe this purple baby runs a crime family.

In English, Marchi adds a layer of aristocratic smugness and dry, cutting sarcasm that elevates every scene. Her “Oh my, how quaint ” after watching a fight explode a school wall is comedy gold.
