I noticed that, too. Maybe they did the TV stereo mix and the 5.1 mix separately instead of just converting the 5.1 mix to stereo for TV, resulting in no sound issues on the stereo mix. I'm not a pro at this stuff so I may be way off base, but that's the only thing I can think of.

Chris Sabat tweeted back at someone awhile ago that Funi was aware of the issue. Chances are they fixed it and sent the fixed batch to Toonami and plan on releasing a Kai TFC "season set" sometime in the future that will have the corrected audio.
Yep I just checked both versions and the TV rip definitely sounds better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtqHwUI ... e=youtu.be

I guess it was either a stereo mix, or a new and improved 5.1 Surround mix for a future recall or season box.

That would be amazing, but I'd love to see that tweet. I tried searching, but found nothing. :(

I know some people ruled out Final Chapters Season sets but I wouldn't put it past Funimation knowing how much they love to milk the franchise's home releases, especially if they have an excuse ("hey, we got the fixed audio, see definitive release of Dragon Ball Z Kai : The Final Chapters").

Be interesting to see Sabat's tweet.

I hope they did fix it, but I honestly don't see a "season" release, since these TFC parts are basically the same as the Kai "season" sets.

They'll probably silently print fixed versions like they did when they added the "Burger King exclusive" episodes to that one Trunks single with no announcement.

They might make a season release that has the entire TFC on it and package it consistently with the season sets, since the current parts looks kinda odd on a shelf next to the kai season sets.

Okay, so I was watching the Kai episode where Gohan breaks the Z Sword, I think 142, and the credits listed Trunks as being voiced by Alexis Tipton. Did Bailey leave partway thorung Kai or something? Or is ist a miscredit?

Possibly a miscredit. She's definitely the Trunks half of Gotenks (Sabat said she's been filling in for Gotenks for years since the voice has been too much strain on Bailey, IIRC), so maybe the person doing the credits was mistaken based on that. I'll have to listen to Trunks in the later episodes to be sure, though.

Bailey's DEFINITELY Trunks in TFC. However, it's been discovered Tipton's apparently filled in on Gotenks for some reason.

Anyone seen the scene where Goku chokes up saying goodbye to Gohan yet? Did it turn out as expected?

I really love the way they voiced the ghosts in this dub. It's SO much more improved than Z. The voices actually make sense. They all sound like they're either voiced by Kara Edwards, Laura Bailey, or Alexis Tipton. The original dub just used random voices &, I think, accents that were just out of place. This sounds more natural.

I'm pretty sure they're Monica Rial. I think she mentioned doing them in the Part 2 episode commentary.

Was talking with OmegaRockman. He has the set and took this screenshot. Apparently they went and corrected Vegito to Vegetto. Still waiting on my own set to come, but was shocked to see it.

I'd say yes, only 'cause there's a random i in the first one that isn't in either Vegeta or Kakarot(to).

One's definitely more logical. Vegito makes hardly any sense. Vegetto, at the very least, could be explained by Kakarot originally being Kakarotto instead.

Technically, in English, the best spelling would most likely be "Vegeto," since the double t's make no sense, since "Kakarot" doesn't have it, wouldn't it? Then again, it still doesn't make sense because it doesn't have the "o" at the end either. I guess the excuse in English COULD be that they switch them around when coming up with Vegito's name after they fuse, but I don't know.
