All that also happened in the manga. So it was most likely Toriyamas idea, not Toei's. Toei aren't responsible for everything that happens in the story.

One could argue that was early FUNimation. The ashes could still be seen to this day. If you listen closely you can still hear the faint sound of Faulconer.

Um, did you forget Toriyama's writing the plot outlines to the arcs, minus the shorter ones, for Super? Blame Toriyama for stoylines being mishandled. Toei should only be blamed for bad animation & some stuff that we can be certain is what their writers are influencing into the story based on what's different in the manga.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

That was Toriyama's doing. Partially because Vegeta and Goku are the two most popular characters in this series. I mean didn't Toriyama say Piccolo was his favorite character in one interview?

Mercer was great as Hit but what's with Magetta? His actor wasn't listed and it said "N/A" instead

Yep, that sure was Matt Mercer as Hit.

Was that a synthesised voice for Magetta? If so, that's weird.

Hit's voice sounded fine for this episode. It's a shallow look but from the glimpse we've gotten it fits the character quite well while not being an exact 1:1 copycat of the Japanese take. It's certainly a step up from the interpretation we see in Xenoverse.

As for Magetta, though .... I really, really don't like it. An earlier comment points out it comes across as synthesized which I don't quite understand as I don't see how you could interpret that from the Japanese original? At the very least, you should gather that his voice would be rather doofy and would work fine being reused for the English, but this is just so radically different and comes across as stereotypical for a robot. If the point is that he's still organic despite his appearance, the approach taken comes across as one dimensional. Can you really see that direct a voice being able to pathetically cry like Magetta does in the series multiple times?

What have they done to my adorable Magetta!? Damnit.

I get changing the voice but not to a more robotic version. That's something I'd expect from the early days of the FUNimation dub. Oh well. It's not terrible, but its a little disappointing.

Don't know if anyone posted this yet but it seems that Funimation did in fact dub Usubeni (and changed the name to Twilight for some reason) and it's on the Part 2 Blu-ray https://youtu.be/WICKm2xERQE

Because "Light Pink" would sound silly?

By the way, everyone seeing why I wanted Mercer as Zamasu now? I mean, I know they prefer to get more actors for main & secondary characters unless it's needed for the story, or in-between shows, but having Mercer as Zamasu as well would be awesome. He's got a really cool voice & I bet he's more versed in voice acting than Marsters, so it'd be a good choice. I'll wait to see how Masters does in the show, as he & the rest of the production staff, have had months to watch all the way through the arc to figure Zamasu out, especially to tweak Schemmel's Goku black voice accordingly, so I'll bet his performance is a lot better than Xenoverse 2, though that wouldn't be hard to accomplish, but I'd sill prefer Mercer.
