Who is Cain? Who is Abel?

Review in reference to GraphicAudio adaptation: https://www.graphicaudio.net/vampire-...

So I've read the book long hand around last summer, because I knew there was going to be a long wait for this GA adaptation to come out, I just didn't know how long it would take. But now that I've formally given a listen to this adaptation (and will do more listens in the future) I've come to the conclusion that if there were to be another film adaptation of Vampire Hunter D after Bloodlust, this story should be next.

Since the start of adapting Vampire Hunter D to GraphicAudio, David Cui Cui has captured the essence of the character and has done a good job at knowing when to show emotion when the scene calls for it. While reading through the book, it got me curious as to how the other D might sound like. In some cases, some people might hire other actors who might sound similar to the guy voicing the character. Like in Dragon Ball Z for example, Bardock, the father of Kakarot (Goku) looks exactly like him, but if you were to listen to the Funimation dub, he's not voiced by Sean Schemmel. Instead he's voiced by Sonny Strait, best known for voicing Krillin.

Twin Shadowed Knight, on the other hand, David Cui Cui voices both the normal D and the more talkative and cocky D, but even with him voicing both of those characters, he manages to even keep those characters mysterious; stuff like that reinforces the title of my review for this story overall: Who is Cain? Who is Abel?

Even Yoshitaka Amano had that same mentality for this volume, if you were to pick up a copy of the book, via digital or physical, you'll find a fantastic picture of the two vampire hunters together, but you'll never know who is who.
