The latest news about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R DLC reveals that Wonder of U and Toru will be playable characters in the game. Although the exact release date is not known at this time, it is expected that they will debut fairly soon based on the announcement trailer. In the game, Wonder of U will be voiced by Takayuki Sugo, known for roles such as Hashirama Senju in Naruto, Zangetsu and Yhwach in Bleach, Doppo Orochi in Baki, and Raizen in Yu Yu Hakusho. Toru will be voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki, known for his roles as Young Shanks in One Piece, Shinichi Izumi in Parasyte, Baki Hanma in Baki, and Yuno in Black Clover.

As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled about the addition of Wonder of U as a playable character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. Wonder of U is one of the most powerful and intriguing Stands in the series, and I can't wait to see how its abilities are translated into the game. I'm also excited to hear the voice acting for Toru and Wonder of U, as Takayuki Sugo and Nobunaga Shimazaki are both talented voice actors.
Overall, I think the addition of Wonder of U to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is a great move and will add a lot of excitement to the game. I can't wait to try out the new character and see how he compares to the rest of the roster.
