Does this mean that Merged Zamasu won't be shouting it? I have no idea what could replace that.
It will probably play out like this:

'Goku: What happened... where is Zamasu?
Fused Zamasu: I AM HERE GOKUUUU!'

Also, I can't wait to hear the voice of Fused Zamasu with the echo effect.

Or he could just say 'Son Goku' like he did in japan. Him saying that isn't dependant on whether Zeno said Goku's full name or not.

If I had to guess, I'd say they would go with either "Damn you Goku!" Or "Curse you Goku!". Miki did such a good job in that scene, hopefully we get that same crazy yell with James too.

I thought Miki hammed it up way too much in that scene.

The English dub has never referred to Goku as 'Son Goku'. That is not going to change in episode 66.

He was very good in Xenoverse 2 DLC pack 4, I think he did very well the scream of agony when Trunks sliced him in half. I am confident that James will do a very good job with Fused Zamasu's crazy voice. In this video you can hear his voice as Fused Zamasu at the end of DLC pack 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCi41uGqEAQ.

Uh, yes it has. Goku has referred to himself as 'Son Goku', Roshi, the Tournament Announcer, Frieza as well, Cell once did so if I'm remembering correctly.

Not in Dragon Ball: Super, I reckon. And Zamasu didn't refer to Goku as 'Son Goku' in episode 53, so it doesn't make sense to have Fused Zamasu suddenly refer to Goku as 'Son Goku'.

Don't know about the games, but Goku's speech in Kai is the only time the Son name was ever used in the anime. Even the tournaments just used Goku.

He's going to scream Son Goku. Just like how Schemmel made sure they used Son Goku for Goku's SS speech in Burst Limit/Kai, even though he never said it prior in the dub

Which doesn't mean they won't have Zamasu scream it.

It is quite senseless to make an exception for episode 66. It's not like people remember that scene because Zamasu screamed 'Son Goku' as opposed to just 'Goku', they remember that scene because of Miki's astonishing voice acting.

It wouldn't be senseless, nor an exception. It wouldn't even be noticeable.

Okay, I'm starting to get pissed. Am I seriously the only guy wondering why there's no preview for Episode 55 yet?!

Goku didn't introduce himself to Zamasu as "Son," so for Zamasu to suddenly bring it up without proper setup would break the dub's continuity. We already have problems in Kai having continuity errors in the dub (also with TFC keeping in the Hell scenes in the animation for no reason, but I digress), plus Super has some script inconsistencies at times, so for Zamasu to scream it would break the dub's own internal consistency.

Plus, the dub script writers NEVER think to use it, even when it would make sense, like Battle of Gods using "Sir Goku" instead of "Son," which doesn't make any sense & sounds redundant when you hear the full line of "I am Sir Goku, sir," which I don't get why that was the scripting or why Sean went with it whatsoever. It was Sean's insistence that got it put into Kai's dub in the first place anyways, so it's kind of a moot point anyways.

Most of the games don't, but FighterZ has Goku in the dub say "I am Son Goku, the Super Saiyan" at times: https://youtu.be/Zdp82dnS6pE?t=2m52s, but I think that's the only game to do it so far. Usually the games will have "I am Goku, the legendary Super Saiyan," or some variant of that. Personally, I like the hammy over-the-top take from Budokai 1, "I am called Goku, and I am a SUPER SAIYAAAAANNNNN!!!!!!!" You're more likely for TFS to use his full name than the official dubs.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Just popping in to shower Marsters' Zamasu with praise. I've not been particularly hot on the Future Trunks arc's dub so far, but he's freaking outstanding. It's tonally on-point, and his delivery is naturalistic, never once falling into that irritating 'anime dub' delivery. Really looking forward to hearing some of Zamasu's big speeches from him... you know, without crappy no-context video game directing this time.

I'm curious too, but not so much that it's bothering me. I'm sure we'll get to see it soon enough.

Considering Zamasu gets Goku's body, it's not surprising he would eventually know his full name and at least some of his memories, going by the fact that recognized Vegeta.

It's definitely a big improvement on his dreadful XV2 delivery, and I can totally see how he fits the character now, but I still feel like some of his lines are delivered in too much of a cartoony way.

Also, can't decide on whether the way he pronounces mortal ("mmmmmortal") is charming or infuriating.

Are we forgetting that Zamasu, before becoming Black, goes to ask Mr Know's Everything to tell him all about Goku?
