Behind the Scenes
When it came to developing Wàn Jūn Pò's character, Gen Urobuchi, the show writer and supervisor, was inspired to write a character with "a mature charm" because he wanted to work with Akio Ōtsuka. Despite not knowing if Ōtsuka would or could work on the show, Urobuchi used the direction of a "sober and steady uncle-type" as the basis for Jūn Pò's character while writing him. Ōtsuka did agree to voice Wàn Jūn Pò in the Japanese dub, and, over time, Jūn Pò developed into the "regal" character seen in the show.
