I belive is just lack of interest of who has grewed with the funi dub, but some times we see fanboys with excuses to dirty the image of the other dubs, I grew up meeting Dragon Ball by the Brazilian dub, but just because of this I don't disturb brazilian DB fans that just watch the anime in japanese, saying that the only way to watch the anime is with the brazilian dub, this is ridiculous, not even for the japanese dub (which is my favorite one) I would say that, I have interest and look up to others dubs, the France dub is a very interesting creative one, some name changes in that dub are very interesting, I love the way that masenko was renamed to "kamehame" (yeah without the last ha in the ending), Petit Cœur is a interesting alternate name for Piccolo (speeling it, is "Pikoter"), and why I said creative? well look at Vegetto and Gotenks French names, Vegeku and Gotrunks! this can sound hear for you guys, but in my opinion both two sounds better than Vegetto and Gotenks.
about Funi, I actually never watched this dub, I've just saw some clips on youtube, but here is my opinion, the voice cast is amazing, the translations of the episodes names and movies are cool, and is very interesting that in some moments they had even edited the episodes/movies, just as in Fusion Reborn, in Funi dub of that dub, when Freeza recognizes Gohan, appears a flashback of his fight against Gohan in Namek, this doesn't happens in any of the others dub, is a perfect dub, well, almost perfect, at least for me, I just think it have a problem, well have a minor problem, I don't like their own soundtrack, and I totally deslike Rock the Dragon, but I can find easily online the Funi dub with the japanese soundtrack so that's not a real problem, the Real Problem of Funi in my opinion are the name translations, I respect english db fans that prefer funi, but I just can't take the translations, like, some translations are cool, as I prefer Krillin over Kuririn, but a lot in my opinion and bad and unecessary, sorry but I think Spirit Bomb is a weak name for a technique that requires the energy frim every life in the universe, lol King Kai???? but he's not a King! and lol my gosh Great Ape in my opinion is the worst, bro Oozaru is a monstruous chaotic transformation, how they dare calling it Great Ape? Great Wpe would fit for a circus monkey or idk, ugh, that's the reason I always play the DB games in japanese, seriously I would not like using Goku to hear it saying "Spirit Bomb", in my opinion Funi gets the 3rd place in the ranking of best dubs, but just to it voice cast, and Brazilian in 2nd, and Japanese in 1st, so why Brazilian in 2nd? easy, Brazilian dub didn't adapt the Japanese dub with unecessary translations, for my hope they kept Genkidama, Oozaru...
that's it, I gave my opinion to Funi and Funi fans.
I simply wouldn't want to imagine my life without Dragon Ball, thank you Akira Toriyama (1955-2024), you are now immortal.
