Ocean started with episode 108. The Trunks vs. Freeza fight was already over by that time, so what are you referring to?

Just look it up on the internet for yourself. In the early days Funimation didn't do voices, they didn't dub. Funimation did the production, they hired Ocean for their major talent, Saban did the censoring. Later on, Ocean was too expensive so they had to settle with their in-house "talent".

Even with a decent budget, Funimation nowadays is not capable of creating ...

I think it speaks for itself that a second english dub of Z was made because people heavily complained about the Funi dub. I don't care if you prefer the Funi or Ocean dub but fact is that Funimation wasn't meant to do dubbing. Ocean Studios is a professional dubbing company. Funimation is not. And ...
