What does that have to do with anything? Obviously, he hasn't actually recorded it for Super yet, but this is going to be the foundation for the approach he takes there. He may tweak or improve it, but he won't change the entire thing fundamentally later just cause. He's obviously fine with it as-is, else he wouldn't of chosen this approach in the first place.
Sabat confirmed on Twitter that they'd be changing Black's voice to the posh one for Super

Yeah he said " already in the works", and the SD teaser FUNi posted had Future Trunks in, could they be dubbing the Trunks arc for FUNiNow? Is that what the big secret is? Hmm...

Also, Zamasu's voice sounds more like Christopher Corey Smith now rather than Mercer

So... when do you think we'll get a confirmation of who is voicing Zamasu?

April 25th when the DLC is out officially though they had no problem announcing or showing Vados and Champa in that live stream before DLC was out so very odd...

Unless he chose an entirely different voice for the lines we heard than anything else, there's no need to wait.
There's more to a performance then voice. Tone, delivery and other subtle nuances. It's like all the people who dimissed the Attack On Titan dub based on 5 two minute trailers. We can't fully criticize Sean's Goku Black performance in Dragon Ball Super until we get episode 47 and 48. This is a dub for a game, and to bring up a similar example of a game anime character being dubbed before the show, Naruto Storm 4 has Boruto and Sarada as DLC, both had completely different actors and voice mannerisms when the Boruto movie was dubbed one year later.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Battle of Z our first time hearing Jason and Ian as Beerus and Whis? And I seem to remember them being universally hated based on that games audio, now look at how many people love them.

I'm not denying that, just saying that what we have heard from him is bad. Like, unforgivably so. I can judge what I've heard of his performance all I want, and legitimately so. Otherwise, I'd have to judge based on what I don't know, and that's just ridiculous.

Save us God-Emperor Sabat!

(In all seriousness, I'm still expecting it to improve, I just think posh speak exclusively for Rose is dumb. At least have a hint of it in his regular voice.)
I'm just hoping he's ditched the SS4 voice for him. At least then I'll be a bit happy.

Hate to burst your bubble but no idea where you're getting this from. When they recorded XV2 Black barely existed let alone his Rosé form so unless Sean is buddies with Yamamuro he wouldn't have known about Rosé hence why Sabat and Schemmel went in record saying they had zero context for Base Black because they did plus I'm fairly sure they also didn't have the JPN voices too hence why the lip faps were off in the intro.

Yup! Heck even in the BoG trailers a lot of people still weren't feeling Beerus. The more I hear his Rosé the more I like it! Sabat told a fan who didn't like it that he'll like in in Super.

and...? All he is doing is clarifying that the Base Black in XV2 is unchanged, the new voice people are hearing is for SSR. In Super his Base Black is not gonna be that one form XV2, Sabat confirmed.

It seems what's happening is that they're not gonna change the game's voice for base Goku Black, but they're DEFINITELY gonna be switching it up for the anime. I just hope it's to give his base form a less gruff voice in the Super dub. That's really all I want at this point.

Rosé was already a huge improvement, in DBS I don't think his base will be that different it will be probably more subtle like his regular Goku's, Sabat said it's still in the works so no doubt they'll get it right and he said we'll like it, Sabat did afterall cast Ayres, Douglas and Sinclair and has been pretty perfect on all Super characters so far, so I'm not worried at all.

I'm confused, why does he need a different voice from Base Black to SSR? Btw Black needs to sound elegant and psychotic not deep and menacing.

It's probably to gauge fan reactions. And since Black is in SS Rose for a majority of his screen time when they go to the future, & he makes a lot of speeches, it's probably then is when the accent really comes in. My hope iis that it starts off similar to regular Goku, then slips into the RP as it goes on, slowly revealing who he is, especially if Zamasu ends up having the same accent to some degree. It would certainly help with the reveal if it were subtle like that.

Is it still filler when it's an episode in between 2 arcs in an anime not based on a manga?

He has, but I would say that's a good thing. Goku is a country bumpkin and is meant to sound like a big manchild. Schemmel has mastered these essential traits to the character better than any other English dubbed actor we've had for Goku.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:
