Danganronpa V3: Remnants AU Comic Dub Casting Call
KodaMeans for Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jack
TOKO FUKAWA
Toko Fukawa is a character in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and a main character in DR: Ultra Despair Girls, and her title is the Ultimate Writing Prodigy. Toko calls herself a “gloomy outcast” - despite being relatively intelligent, she has difficulty in social situations and often tries to distance herself from being around other people. Because of severe bullying and abuse she experienced as a young girl, Toko has developed extremely bad paranoia, and as a result, is highly suspicious of the people around her, always jumping to the conclusion and accusing them of thinking badly of her and accusing some boys of “undressing her with his eyes.” She tends to be a bit of an “open book,” expressing her opinions very freely and sometimes without a second thought - this causes people to think of her as mean or blunt, yet she tries to feign it as her being honest , even if it rubs them the wrong way. She also tends to be very self-deprecating and victimizing of herself, while also being very self-conscious about her body and appearance. However, after spending time with Komaru - Makoto’s younger sister - and helping her escape Towa City, Toko has shown to have greatly matured and become more caring of others. She still has her gloomy and pessimistic personality, but thanks to her fellow surviving classmates, she’s grown up to become more open and willing to help others in need, and finally finding herself a true friend in Komaru. She’s grown up in between the two games to the point that she was able to overcome fainting at the sight of blood - something we see occur during THH. Though she still gets grossed out and sickened at large amounts of blood, she’s able to tough it out and not faint at the sight of it.

GENOCIDE JACK
Genocide Jack, also known as Genocider Syo in the anime, is a character in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and a main character in DR: Ultra Despair Girls, Toko’s alter, and her title is the Ultimate Murderous Fiend. Unlike Toko, Jack is a very loud and outgoing girl, often laughing at sometimes nothing and giving somewhat bizarre nicknames to her classmates, and loves to joke around, even situations it really isn’t wanted. But given her Ultimate title - which could’ve been self proclaimed by Jack herself - it’s somewhat to be expected that she wouldn’t take situations such as murder too seriously. This silliness can often lead to her being a bit lewd and inappropriate at times, sometimes poking fun at Asahina’s figure, and even goes as far as to say she’s a self-proclaimed “fujoshi” that she only targets “cute” men that “turn her on.” According to both Toko and Jack, they both are able to share their emotions together, but not share their memories. It explains that they both have sadistic and masochistic traits, both have feelings for Byakuya, and other traits. It also explains why Toko had her memories of their school years stolen, but Jack remembers what happened - since they share knowledge and emotions, but not their memories. So when they do switch whoever is fronting, they both show genuine confusion on where they are at that moment, but Jack is able to roll with it. Despite her goofy nature, she does have moments where she can become serious.According to one of the official artbooks, Jack’s personality can be described as, "her attitude can switch between serious and crazy in an instant." This can be shown with how she acts quite annoyed and upset with Komaru at first, not understanding why she’d want to be friends with a serial killer like herself. But as time goes on, she eventually warms up to her classmate's younger sister and even considers her a friend. Unlike Toko, who dislikes her alter because of her murderous tendencies, Jack seems to have some respect for her alter. Either way, Komaru’s friendship has impacted both personalities positively. It’s even implied that Jack has dropped her bloodthirst and no longer kills “handsome men.”

I think when it comes to their voices, I really am leaning towards their game voices a bit more in the case of tone/pitch, because I think the slightly deeper voice fits her pretty well. However, I really LOVED the rendition for Geno. Jack in the anime when it comes to mannerisms and personality, so I think something in between for Jack would work perfectly!
When it comes to the THH Remnant AU, while Toko would’ve fallen into despair, Jack will not. As the tragedy went on, Jack has protected Komaru from the other remnants, unbeknownst to them and even Makoto (who is on the brink of breaking, but isn’t actually a despair. Jack had apparently found out that Junko and the others were planning on using Komaro as the “final push” to break Makoto into despair, and before they could, had saved Komaru and is keeping watch/protecting her, while trying to be careful to not have the others or even Toko herself finding out - Toko is a fellow remnant after all, so her finding out if she were to front at some point while they were together would NOT end well for the Naegi’s at all.
As for Toko, she’s in charge of spreading propaganda through her talent as a writer, and as a source of despair, CONSTANTLY overworks herself to the bone.

NOTE: In the games, depending on who's fronting, Toko and Geno. Jack are voiced by two VA's respectively, while in the anime, she is voiced by one VA. Though I prefer that their voices stay relatively similar, this role may be dual-casted - one person voicing as Toko and the other voicing Geno. Jack.

(Accusitory and "flustered" sounding) "Wh-What? I-It's not polite to stare, you know. Stop staring at me like I'm some filthy creature! I-I know what you 'just' thought...! You just thought you've n-never seen such an ugly woman. You just th-thought it was sooo funny...! Don't bother trying to l-lie to me! I know it's true. Otherwise, you... I know you can't stand looking at me! Wh-Whatever, I don't really care. I'm used to it..."
(Sound a bit stern and maybe slightly rude for the first sentence, but then transition to have Toko sound a bit softer and more encouraging.) "Hey! I-If you have the energy to shout and scream like that, use it to move your weak ass instead! If you wanna live, you can't always take the easy path. Sometimes, you gotta take the painful ones. On that path you might suffer and writhe in pain, but at least you'll survive... Y-You gain nothing from averting your eyes from reality. No matter how horrible or painful. If you think you're going to die, at least run away. If you're wrong, you live. If you were right, then at least you die on the run and not just standing here, suffering."
(Genocide Jack, speaking in Sakura's case) "HAHA~! So, this may come of as a large shock to ya, but I dunno Jack about what that Toko did or didn't do!" (chuckle slightly as she speaks "I mean, even if I gave a diddly-damn, I ain't got access to her brain!" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Second line for Jack, which is when Komaru and Jack are about to take on Monaca in DR3: Future Arc) "Allllriiight!!! Let's take this slut down in record time so I can get back to bumpin' uglies with mister sweet cheeks! Oh, little miss Towa, you're aboutta put in sum' serious overtime~!" (cackle wickedly and excitedly, maybe adding a "wooo~!" if you'd like because she'd be so psyched up lol)
