Dragon Ball Kai - The Fandub

Comic Gambler Studios Presents
Dragonball Kai - The Fandub
(ドラゴンボール改 「カイ」)


Introduction - This is going to be my full-time project, along with the Bakuman fandub. I have a passion for Dragonball and when I saw the first episode of Kai, I fell in love with the visuals and imagined a Dragonball dub where unlike the English version, had dialogue that stuck to the Japanese version. The Daimao subtitles on the Remastered Sets are providing me with my script and with that, I am going to set out to create a new Dragonball fandub. As I said, Bakuman and Dragonball Kai will be the two flagship series for Comic Gambler Studios. Our goal is to create an accurate dub of Dragonball.

Synopsis - A monkey-tailed boy named Goku is found by an old martial arts expert who raises him as his grandson. One day Goku meets a girl named Bulma and together they go on a quest to retrieve the seven Dragon Balls, mythical objects that can summon a dragon who will grant any wish. Along the way, they meet and befriend a plethora of martial artists. They also undergo rigorous training regimes and educational programs in order to fight in the World Martial Arts Tournament, a tournament in which the most powerful fighters in the world compete. Outside the tournaments, Goku faces diverse villains such as Emperor Pilaf, the Red Ribbon Army, a demon known as Piccolo Daimao and his offspring.

As a young adult, Goku meets his older brother, Raditz, who tells him that they come from a race of extraterrestrials called Saiyans. The Saiyans had sent Goku to Earth to destroy it, but his ship crashes upon arrival. Goku fell into a deep ravine and lost all memory of his mission. Goku refuses to help Raditz continue the mission, after which he begins to encounter others who want to battle him, such as the Saiyan prince Vegeta. He also encounters Freeza, who is considered to be one of the strongest beings in the universe, after which Goku begins training his first child, Son Gohan, to be his successor.

Aw, Goku's automatically given to Masako. A bit disappointed I can't try out for him, but I suppose it's to be expected.
Dragon Ball ended in 1997.

Is this Masako-kun the same as MasakoX from TeamFourStar?

Oh ok cool, I loved him in the TFS stuff, so it'll be great to hear Masako in an actual serious fandub.

Kaboom, you can still try out for an Understudy part. If Masako can't continue for whatever reason, if you're in the Understudy role, you will be called upon. If you do decided to audition for the U/S role, remember to not sound like Masako just because he's the character.

One thing to note, you have Goku and ChiChi both listed as 25 years old when they should be 23 at the start of DBZ.

I wanna be Appule.

(Somewhat) more seriously, what about the farmer? He's not listed yet.

I would like the roll of the crab.

In all seriousness though good luck. However I've seen projects like this die fairly fucking fast when you aren't on everybody's ass constantly. It's hard to maintain a fandub when your cast is spread all over the world. Not to be a downer, just a heads up. We all remember the movie 3 fandub don't we?
By the way I really hope you aren't copying and pasting the fansub dialouge into English exactly. A lot of those lines sound unnatural and could use some rewording.

Captain-Sora, thanks for that. Slip of the mind. Ages changed.

Herms, I know I originally wrote up the Farmer, but forgot to copy paste. He is there now, though. Also adding Grandpa Gohan. I also forgot to post him up.

NeptuneKai, I know. Believe me, full series fandubs are often inconceivable. But darnit, I'm going to try. If I don't try, I won't know if this can succeed. Thanks for your words of encouragement, though. I'm going to need it. Also, I am not copy-pasting it. That would be very silly. It will be modified.

Just sent my auditions. I recorded some additional ad-libbed stuff for Krillin, as well as a line for Farmer with shotgun. His lines weren't there while I was recording, so I kinda just ad-libbed one. :P

I'm thinking of auditioning for Roshi, I'd try to do as close a voice as I can to Masaharu Sato's voice.

Though I'm thinking maybe I should do a Chinese or Japanese accent. :lol: Make him sound like Iroh in Avatar...

I'll HAVE to audition for Freeza...

Nice idea, we want to make fandub in CZ either, but it looks like we'll be waiting for some BGM OST for Kai

Here's what I am most proud of. At least for episode one, I have managed to rip all the BGM. I received all auditions so far, don't worry.

Are you gonna go like the original Japanese and have the Oozaru be all "whiney" more than "roary"?


Cause, if so, I could totally get in on that! :P

I'll probably try to audition for the more arrogant and proud sounding characters Freeza and Vegeta when the time comes, since my own, natural voice has very arrogant, proud flow to it. I might even try Nappa.

I sent you auditions for the narrator...

I might try out for Raditz at some stage.
In a nutshell: Likes the sub and the dub and barely ever posts.
