THANK FUCK! HE'S NOT BRITISH! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Even though it was only one line, that gave me chills! Sean Schemmel nailed it! Oh man, I'm so happy right now.

This is definitely an improvement, but it's still going to be jarring once Black becomes Rose and he becomes British.
If Schemmel is keeping that? I mean Rose did have the accent in FighterZ, but I won't put too much trust in game dubs.

Still waiting for the preview clips, but for what little Sean said it sounds good. Thank god I don't have to listened to 'Sean ruined Black' until the end of time. That has gotten old in the last year.

I wonder if Rose is still going to have a Brit accent.

According to Ajay, Sean did FighterZ Black almost seven months ago.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

So someone should have that clip uploaded in the next few hours, but YES! He's got it. It's EXACTLY the performance I wanted him to evolve it to. A threatening voice is what Goku Black needs & he nailed it.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

I was smiling the whole time near the end of the episode from hearing the future trunks arc ost to the end with black and oh man, Schemmel nailed it! :clap:

A bit underwhelming, Trunks could have said "you bastard" instead of "you killed her" and Black first words were not in the original script.

what the hell was that? too think weve waited so long. for this? its just goku voice talking. what the hell? I'm sorry but this is terrible. so now everytime in the ARC where black goes from base to rose hes gonna change his voice compleatly to his xenoverse 2 voice? because the xenoverse 2 voice was good. i mean the rose one. i expected this to be the voice of both base and rose. but that is just stupid as hell. this is just goku voice. same thing. even the rough goku black base voice from xenoverse was better then this. damm. this clip ruined my hype so much. to think I've waited for this arc dub for this long for nothing. way to go funimation.

also the ''you killed herrrrrrrrrrrrrr'' by trunks sound so cringey. like the new over 9000 meme or something. what the hell went trough their head when they decided to put that cringey line instead of bastard. why does vale has to drag it so long??? i know from my posts that I'm a big fan of vale but this is bad. really bad

The NEP just aired on TV.

It's really funny how casual Black sounded when he said 'It's over, Trunks!'. At least it isn't the raspy Xenoverse voice.

It seems we don't have to worry too much anymore about Sean's Goku Black. Sean did say we'll love it and I guess he was right as far as I'm concerned. I'm just glad he won't have to deal with as much of the backlash he got for a VIDEO GAME performance where he didn't even fully understand his character (although I guess I understand the concerns). The way Sean delivered the line was awesomely creepy because it was performed as if regular Goku was saying it, which gave it that much needed edge. Still, I understand if some people are still against it.

Also, I loved Colleen Clinkenbeard's Future Mai and with this character - Colleen now voices three iconic DB characters to my knowledge: Gohan (Kai), Android 18 (Kai), and now Mai (Super). Basically, it's four if you count her Kid Goku (Blood Rubies, Kai and Super flashbacks, video games). So she's definitely earned her place as a memorable DB voice talent and at Kameha-Con (off-topic, I know).

I like it. Nozawa voiced Goku and Black, it makes sense Schemmel would do the same. Though alternatively Peter Kelamis as Black would have been fun too.

Black is supposed to sound like Goku. He's just soften and has an air of arrogance. That was the primary problem with Xenoverse Black and Rose. He didn't sound like Goku, at least not enough going by FighterZ.

But it works. He's supposed to sound like Goku. Hearing someone with Goku's voice saying vicious lines is chilling. In the original Japanese version, Nozawa couldn't just use her normal Goku voice for a character like Black, because it just wouldn't sound intimidating, so she changed her voice a bit. What they're doing here in the dub is making Goku Black sound menacing through what he says rather than how he sounds. I'll take that any day of the week over British Black and that Batman voice from XV2.

I understand the replies who don't like Sean's Black, but don't attack the dub for something as simple as changing a line or two. The dub is not required to follow the original verbatim, as long as it doesn't completely go against the original intent. That's all that matters. Also, Nozawa's Black was her own thing. Schemmel's should be the same way.

he really supposed too? because nozawa black voice sound nothing like goku. sean voice sound identical to goku which is wierd. black suppose to sound sinister which sean dosent deliver with his voice. this is just goku with another charecter. the all point of nozawa voice is that black is the soul of zamasu in goku's body and therefore there is a combination. this is however. just goku. it sound wierd.

Nice to see Eric Vale actually doing a normal voice for Trunks again too, after whatever the fuck he'd been doing ever since Kai.

What the hell did you expect? Sean's Goku is already pretty serious as far as the voice goes, especially when he fights. Black is entirely more serious as Goku, so the performance matches the tone. I mean, Nozawa has a more childlike Goku while Sean sounds like Goku went through puberty. You're not gonna have a 1:1 translation with Goku in English. Set the right standards, man.
