Especially since Funimation decided to give him Goku's normal voice instead of the Garbled SSJ4 voice from Xenoverse.

Xenoverse had a british voice, not a garbled SS4 voice

In Xenoverse, he had two voices : A batman/SSJ4 one for the base form and the british for the Rosé form.

I’m more curious about Zamasu. Are they still going with James Marsters or whoever voices him in X2?

The general consensus is that Black's voice in the Super dub sounds very good and is much better than the 'crack-addict' tone he had in Xenoverse 2. It seems they listened to the complaints after all, so i am confident that Black will no longer awkwardly turn British upon transforming into a Super Saiyan Rosè.

But i'm more interested to listen to Zamasu's voice (and i wonder if Marsters will remain his voice actor)... he will make his debut in episode 53. So many weeks... i can't wait, honestly.

Apparently he's gonna be voiced by someone called David Gray but it's most likely to be an alias of Marsters since there is no info about a voice actor called David Gray on the net.

I was watching an interview between Sabat and Game Informer, and Sabat explained that Toei simply wouldn't divulge who Goku Black was and what his history was to Funimation due to their fear of it being leaked. Thus Funimation had to try and guess what the appropriate English voice should be, and that they wouldn't use the same one for Super if it didn't fit him.

Chris Sabat is still talking about Zamasu’s voice as being a big deal who it is. I’m sure that’s an alias until the official “reveal” of James Marsters.

If it's ever brought up, I'm gonna complain about it. As a Brit, forced awful British accents make me discombobulate. Schemmel is a capable actor, and had those involved in voice direction...not insisted he go for a cartoonishly evil British voice, I reckon he could've done something really good. Shame it's stuck this way in DBFZ.

I've never complained about it, but it's still Schemmel, so I still don't care for it.
