Wow. Dragonball Super is much more enjoyable with the english dub it's not even funny. The part where Beerus tells Goku he's boring him and Goku's response made me so excited in ways the original didn't. Amazing job on both voice actor's parts.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Sean and Jaosn were both on absolute fire! The Island scene where Beerus is beating on Goku and the impaling scene from Douglas' sinister delivery and Sean's amazing monologue, I think that is definitely up there as the best voiced scenes in DB, in any language. I always loved Douglas' Beerus but I think a weekly show has managed to make him hone in on that role, he is able to convey all of Beerus' emotions perfectly. And of course Sean is pretty much the closest we have now to an English Nozawa no contest. All we are left for now is Sabat, he hasn't had that much to do so far but I am curious to see how he does when he get to the meaty Vegeta stuff post-BoG arc pre-F arc.

Honestly if the retellings are this good, cannot wait for when they get to the new material, also Ayres should help pull us through the Freeza retelling... :P

It is quite enjoyable but I doubt they will nail these scenes so well as the original did it

Thanks for the ear rape haha. I'll admit that English black and Zamasu will most likely never be as good as the original. Those voices were out of this world.

I recall Goku saying "Ki" in one of Budokai 3's training scenarios. That's the only instance of it I ever recall from the English cast.

Don't doubt the power of Sean Schemmel EVER! Also, if Matthew Mercer gets the role of Zamasu, you bet your ass it'll be great!

Yeah Sean said they had no context for XV2 and I think he said his Black in the show will be different. And Zamasu can easily be matched, they already did a good job with Champa.

Nah, Zamasu was amazing. He can't be easily matched. His Son Goku!, mafuba scene and his voice acting right before he died was amazing.

Okay perhaps not easily but he can be matched, if the rumours of Mercer are true we'll have our match! I'm confident on Zamasu but Sean's Black as I just re read his tweets he said he isn't taking any advice from fans, which I guess is understandable just hope Sabat can direct the crap out of him for that role.

Yup, Trafalgar Law in One Piece. Though I've never actually seen One Piece dubbed outside of a few early episodes, so can't really comment on him.

I know his voice well from his video game work, though. He was Robin in Arkham Knight, Cor Leonis in Final Fantasxy XV, and Leon in Resident Evil 6.

He also recently played Silver on Fairy Tail which is promising for Super since FUNi dubs that aswell since I'm not sure how long it's been since he played the OP char.

It wouldn't have been very long ago. Law appears a few times during the Paramount War, which they just finished dubbing a few months ago.

The character's name is Trafalgar Law & if they've gotten Mercer for it, you can expect greatness. I don't care if the voice doesn't match 100% in terms of tone, which it doesn't need to as long as the voice fits, as long as the acting's great, which I'm betting it will be.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

I never really got that far into One Piece or watch Hunter X Hunter much, so I'm holding my breath until we see it. Never really saw much of the guy's work.

He's a great voice actor, but that doesn't really sound like Zamasu to me. He sounds too...chill. Zamasu to me is arrogant and I thought Shinichiro Miki captured that perfectly. So if Matthew Mercer does get cast as Zamasu, I don't know how he'd work. Guys, what is about Mercer that would make you think he'd be perfect as Zamasu? Because I kinda don't get it.
Caulifla best girl! :)
