The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking it will be that Schemmel changed his Kaio voice.

Sakura Con showed up to episode 6, right?

Doesn't Kaio make an appearance within the first 6 episodes? I know Goku starts running down the serpentine road in episode 4.

Anyone here who went?

Actually, to my knowledge, it was only episodes 1-4 that were shown.

Yeah, sure. I'm the only one who wants Freeza recasted. And not, say, most people here.

Kaiou has plenty of lines in Episode 6. Don't you think we'd have heard from someone by now id his voice was different?

Relax, I was just joking. :P



But if you want to be realistic, Freeza is not going to be recast. We already know Linda Young is going to be doing his voice.

A man can dream, can't he?

I'd settle for a Kaio recast, I guess.

Well, at Sakura-Con, it was just episodes one through three... :/

Why do people keep saying four? And where did they air one through six?!

Recent conversation goes that 1-6 was aired by accident at Sakuracon instead of 1-4 (even though it was 1-3), but this is the first I've heard of this.

Didn't 1-6 air at Anime Boston? I remember hearing (I think on the ToonZone forum) that King Kai's voice still sounded about the same...

But... But I was there...! I sat and watched all three and then it was over. Lights came on and everyone was leaving. How could they've accidentally aired four, five, and six?! :shock:

I just checked the program guide and right after Kai was the "Anime That Scarred Me For Life" panel, so unless episodes four, five, and six of Kai are scarring, I doubt FUNi aired any more of Kai.

I didn't even know about the Anime Boston showing. I figured I would've heard something about it around here before it ever happened and then we would've seen a bunch'a clips someone snuck or something.

Lessee... Hadn't we already confirmed the pronunciation of Saiyan with the con showing?

I'm trying to think of what could be so important in the first thirteen episodes that's a big thing that we all want to see...

Chris Sabat mentioned awhile back that "everybody wins" with that one. We assumed that it'd be "9000" on TV and "8000" on DVD.

This new secret was said to be BIG and SHOCKING.
