"Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

[NintendoBlaze53]

I feel the changes to Magetta are similar to the changes to the Titans in Funimation's Attack on Titan dub. While all Titans do is roar, in the Japanese they sound notably human, while in the dub they sounded more primal or monstrous, I remember one of my friends likening them to Godzilla. Yes it's gibberish either way, but the context got shifted in that case due to Titan's actually being *SPOILERS*, meaning Funimation's use of bestial roars detracted from the hidden foreshadowing as to the titans identity. Magetta's changes can be considered similar, due to him actually being organic and not a robot. While on the surface nothing changes, the subtext has been changed.

Dunno if this was asked yet, but any guesses or ideas on what the dub might call the Ultra Instinct form? Since the actual Japanese name for it has way more syllables in it than the 4 in Ultra Instinct.

Ultimate Intuition, maybe?

Well yeah that is what I meant this was Sabat's time to really shine and he did well, Schemmel has already had plenty (and killed them) and of course he has the big one coming up in #39..!! (Super duper pumped for that!!).

Then say so, don't say that an actor has been stealing screams, when it's the writers giving the character them in the first place. Say what you mean & mean what you say, man.

Woah, bud I'm not sure what made you think Baggie_Saiyan was being serious with his first comment, but he was quite clearly kidding. There's really no reason to be mad, or kinda rude about this. If I had said "Jeez, it's about time Sabat got to scream a bit, Schemmel sure has been hogging them lately hahaha!" It doesn't mean I'm actually sitting in my room, contemplating how Sean Schemmel is purposefully rearranging the episodes or scripts, to maximize the amount of screams he gets to record. In said scenario, I'm just being facetious. You obviously misunderstood his original intent, but after the guy explained himself clearly, that's your opportunity to say "Oh, sorry about the misunderstanding man," not berate him for telling a harmless joke, that you didn't get.

Can't believe I have to bring this up here, since I thought this would've been understood, but you can't really portray jokes too well in text form, unless that's what people know to expect from you.
In any case, I wasn't made, or trying to be rude. It's another case of not being able to convey tone too well in text form. How that was meant to be said was, "Say what you mean, & mean what you say, man," as, if I was saying it, it'd be in a calmer tone than what you think I'm intending.

I mean, I understand not taking jokes well in text form if it's like an inside joke or something, but it was pretty darn easy to see that Baggie_Saiyan was making a harmless joke. Chill. It ain't that serious.

As I said before, I'm not trying to be as harsh as you're thinking I am.

So.......what do you guys think of Magetta's changes? I think they're stupid, unnecessary, and horrible. GG Funimation. I held out judgement until his crying scene to as show they'd handle it and it was still stupid. Why Funimation? Why can't you just be consistent?

It was consistent with their take on Magetta.

Yeah but it cemented their take on Magetta as a fail. I couldn't take the crying scene seriously because what I was seeing and what I was hearing didn't match at all. By Funimation being consistent, I meant why can't they be consistent with their dubs? In Z they changed stuff unnecessarily, in Kai they were faithful, and now in Super they change stuff unnecessarily again. I know it's still better than the OG Z dub but, come on

I don't see how it wasn't consistant if I'm being honest

So apparently a singer by the name of Mystery Skulls will be doing the English vocals for Forever Dreaming: https://twitter.com/MysterySkulls/statu ... 5543716864

I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with his work. I look forward to it regardless, though!

New OP version on Toonami's showing of Vegeta vs. Cabba.

It uses the footage of the Universe 6 warriors (as seen in V3 of OP1), and has an abrupt cut from Goku powering up to the Dragon Team flying with Shenron. The ending scene is both Vegeta and Goku going Blue.

[Dragon Ball Gus]

Episode 37, is airing. Hopefully Cliff can knock it out of park with this one. And I wonder what the English version of Forever Dreaming will be like?

[mint0h]

...Um, that was an English rendition of Forever Dreaming right?

It's just that, I couldn't hear the lyrics properly...

EDIT: Although CnR did an English rendition of Forever Dreaming too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuTxT90hZKA

[Dragon Ball Gus]

Dubbed already?!

[Scsigs]

It's weird how much Chapin sounds like a slightly higher-pitched Yuri Lowenthal.

Not really a fan of that dubbed ending. Half of the time I can't even make out what the hell they are saying.

Lyrics:

Wow

I don't want to draw the line
I gotta see it through some way
Fight for what I know is mine
The dream I had of me that day

Wow

Don't care if they call me greedy
If they hate me, make me blue
Don't care if they laugh at me 'cos
I will make the dream come true

Oh, thanks. The dubbed ending still isn't that good, though. It sounds way too synthesised for my liking. Like they used talk box and auto-tune at the same time and it gave off this distorted and just... off-sounding vocals.

Episode 37 dub was great, though the next couple of episodes are what I'm anticipating the most. I've been wanting to hear SSB Kaioken dubbed ever since I watched the episode for the first time. Sean Schemmel is going to be yelling like crazy in Episode 39.

[Kaio_Krazy]

Chapin was excellent as Cabba, and Sabat was suitably both menacing and proud sounding. There were no surprises here, but I got exactly what I was expecting, and that is not a bad thing in the least! Onward to Vegeta getting his ass handed to him, and Kaioken Blue!

That's me. I wanted to hear Sean do the Kaioken the moment the original episode aired.
