Hoyoverse recently announced plans to replace all of Tighnari’s voice lines in Genshin Impact after its voice actor, Elliot Gindi, was fired due to grooming allegations. This means that the role of Tighnari is open and the one who will take over the role has some big shoes to fill due to how fans instantly loved the character during his initial release.
In the game, Tighnari is a smart guy. He knows the Sumeru forest so well to the point where people trust him whenever danger. is around. He also knows how to cure the injured or sick while exploring the region. At the same time, he’s also someone who’d defy the Akademiya and is well-trained in combat. He may be a standard five-star character in the game, but he’s very useful to have when exploring Sumeru.
With that being said, the person who does take over the role needs to be able to emulate his passion and knowledge, as well as his sassy nature. And here are some voice actors who could be strong contenders for the role.
You might recognize Vic Mignogna’s voice since he starred in multiple big anime titles, such as Edward Elric in FullMetal Alchemist, Rin Matsuoka in Free! Iwatobi Swim Club, and Tamaki in Ouran High School Host Club, just to name a few. He’s a big deal in the anime-dubbing industry and he has the sass to play the intellectual Forest Ranger.
Unfortunately, while he is very talented, it’s unlikely that Hoyoverse would consider hiring him due to sexual harassment allegations. Not to mention, the anime community is divided if the voice actor is guilty or innocent. Regardless, his talent is still recognizable by anime dub fans.
Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons has the same vocal range as Tighnari. Not to mention, he may be able to pull off the same sass level
