This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

I think it was Nozawa's scream but with a Filter voice.
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

There are rumors that it was Hideyuki Hori who did that deep scream instead of Nozawa.

It's ridiculous because why would the dialogue director call someone who was already replaced to do a simple scream?

Exactly, also that scream was similar to how Nozawa do with Gokū screams with that long "YAAAAAA!!"

I hate Dragonball Super with a passion & I have no intentions of watching it. The design is horrible and the characters are unlikable.

Maybe it's just the bad audio quality that makes it sound wierd

How do you know you hate it without watching it? It took me a year to start watching Super because I thought everything sounded like stupid fan fiction. It's not a great series but it's still enjoyable for me at least.

No it's clearly supposed to sound very low Pitched just like how they have the oozaru roar and Bad Audio doesn't have anything to do with it, even in the recap of the same Episode they used similar filter.

I wasn't being honest. I watched a few episodes and I hated the show because a lot of characters' personality changed and it doesn't stick to the ending of the Buu arc.

If by end of Buu arc you mean the end of Z with Goku going off with Uub it hasn't contradicted it because it hasn't happened in the timeline yet.

Super contradicts nothing truly major in Buu or any of. DBZ in my opinion. That's not to say there aren't some contradictions.

Like Future Trunks hair suddenly being blue is definitely a contradiction but I don't think it's something that majorly affects the characters or storyline. Super still very much feels like the DBZ world and characters that I loved.

If it was really Hori, I wonder how much he got paid to do it.

I don't know how popular or unpopular this opinion is here, but I REALLY enjoyed Faulconer's music, and to this day I'm not sure if I would've been as much of a fan of that series if it wasn't for Faulconer's soundtrack. Although I do appreciate the original score.

And the Buu saga isn't my favorite in the series, but I do think it's the most interesting. It's one of the few times in DBZ that the strongest guy wasn't the one who saved the day, and the debates people have about Gohan's SSJ form when he's fighting Janemba, Ultimate Gohan, who's the strongest between Kid Buu and Super Buu, to this day entertain me.

If he did that scream, it's probably less than 45,000¥ (it's what A rank seiyus are paid).

The Pilaf arc was a high point in Dragon Ball and I wish it could have continued more similarly to that.

Agreed. I always liked Pilaf and his gang.

That's not really unpopular and though I don't hate Super, I would like to see your view on that.
