He likely will be voicing him and we will get a preview soon enough of what he will sound like, thanks to Xenoverse 2. He has been confirmed to be voicing Black in it.

I really hope Funimation can get rid of any inconsistency and be as accurate as possible if they ever dub Dragon Ball Super.

David Wald would be my pick to voice Hit. He voice Duke Togo in the Golgo 13 TV series and has done voice work for Funimation before. Since he already voice one awesome assassin, he can do another one :D .

Please do not change Goku Black's name to Dark Goku or Black Goku.

I see nothing wrong with using Black Goku. Goku Black sounds incredibly awkward to us native English speakers (or at least it will until FUNi potentially provides an interesting explanation for it).

Goku Black sounds cooler imo. Also, saying 'Black' and 'Dark' in front of stuff i kind of played out, and I think them referring to Black as Black is less awkward than having to say 'Black Goku' every time to avoid confusion.

But they could do exactly what they do in the Japanese version, which is have his official name as "Black Goku" and refer to him as "Black" in the show. Seems like an easy change, but I won't mind them using Goku Black if there's a good reason why the adjective comes after the noun.

Whoops, I meant "refer to Black as Black Goku every time they address Black". :crazy:

My Super dub wish list:

Champa - Kent Williams
Vados - Stephanie Young
Botamo - Jim Foronda
Cabba - Johnny Yong Bosch (He has done work for Funimation before. So anything is possible)
Magetta - Hard to say. I don't know at the moment.
Frost - Andrew Chandler or Chuck Huber
Hit - David Wald (Golgo 13, Attack on Titan)
Gryll/Copy-Gryll - Andrew Love (Akame Ga Kill, One Piece)
Gowasu - Kent Williams
Zamasu - Not sure, maybe Travis Willingham.

JYB would suit Zamasu more imo. Cabba I can see maybe Papenbrook?

I just hope they tone down Goku's idiocy. Super Goku really does seem like TFS Goku at times.

FWIW, I think Goku Black sounds a lot cooler than Black Goku, and it helps sidestep anything racial.

If anything FUNi will likely add more of their extra odd line jokes here and there. Tbh I don't want them to tone down anything, I want a faithful adaptation to the Japanese, if Goku's idiotic then so be it.

All I want is that the dub is done like the Kai, BoG & RoF dubs. I have no doubt that Ayres will play Frost.

I'd like for someone else to voice act Black, unlike the Japanese version, the Son family and Goku's evil counterparts aren't all voiced by the same person doing variations on the same vocal performance. Plus I don't see Schemmel doing an evil Goku voice without it sounding generic as fuck. Black needs to get voiced similar to Ayer's Freeza, soft-spoken and polite.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Thing is though, Goku Black definitely seems like it's supposed to be Goku in some other form of some sort. Compared to Goku's father and his offspring, it makes a lot more sense for Black to share his voice. If we didn't already have Nozawa voicing the family members, it wouldn't even be an issue now, IMO.
