Not bad if legit. Kind of sounds more like I'd expect Toppo to sound though.
Not bad about sums it up. It kinda sounds like Seitz to me? For the show proper the lines need to be delivered a lot more "colder" I think, but as a basis right now it is just okay.
Agreed. I am 99% certain that's Patrick Seitz, he doesn't have a Dragon Ball role yet so it'd make sense.
Definitely sounds like Seitz. I really like it, nice job!. Can't wait to hear Toppo :D

Wasn't Seitz in the Bang Zoom dub? I thought Bang Zoom actors weren't alowed to work in the FUNi dub, or something like that.

It's ok through I highly doubt this will be his actual voice in Super.

He was one of my picks so hopefully he can get that cold/intimating persona across for the show, well I know he can so it's rather I hope he is directed that way.

If it is Seitz then it will the voice for DBS too as he is not from Texas so it wouldn't make sense for an out of towner to voice a DLC char if they weren't gonna play them in the actual show too. Otherwise Sabat would have got a local to fill in.

I can't seem to find him as being credited anywhere, doesn't mean he wasn't though.

When people asked him if he voiced Shenron in the Bang Zoom dub, he said that he didn't and that he wasn't in the dub at all. Seitz wrote for Kai and did a Time Patroller voice in the Xenoverse games, there's no way that he'd be in that dub especially when he's close with the people at FUNimation because he's one of the leads in One Piece

That makes sense.

Also, I saw people saying that Jiren's voice is Dan Green in some Youtube comments, but I think it's Seitz too.

It does sound almost like a Yami Yugi impression in places. It would be kind of cool to have Dan Green, but that's very unlikely unless Schemmel decided to put in a word for a fellow 4Kids alumn. Stranger things have happened with this dub's casting decisions. It's almost certainly Seitz though. Personally I would have preferred him for Toppo.

The 'Superman' voice is an obvious pick for Jiren, for the longest time everyone thought that's what he was an analogue for. It's only recently we learned that he's more of a Batman. Plus, some of those lines suggest more of a "Manga Jiren" characterisation. I don't think anime Jiren has even said the word "justice".

I'd totally be fine with Dan Green for Toppo considering that the arc is going to have a lot of characters but he doesn't do much voice acting anymore aside from returning for Yugi whenever he shows up, but he's seeming to be making a comeback recently so it's possible

Just had another listen, realised that not only is that definitely Seitz but he's doing it exactly like how he does Endeavour in MHA.

That makes me more confident, that's a perfect fit for Jiren. Heroic on the surface, but arrogant and contemptful beneath it.

On the topic of Vale's Trunks, sure he is no Kusao (the only one from the old cast who doesn't sound like he's phoning it in) but I feel he is doing a competent enough job, borderline good-great, he sounds just like I'd expect this now FTrunks to sounds a hardened veteran who has been through hell. No problems here.

I don't see anything wrong with his performance. Even his gruffness has been tone down. Granted, he's more deadpan.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Dub Jiren sound pretty good. I'm definitely getting a Patrick Seitz vibe from him.

It's him. Sounds too much like English Dio.

He's also plays English dub Endeavor from MHA, who is also an asshole hero. So, perfect choice. :thumbup:

Indeed, it would seem that he enjoys playing the role of green villains.

I think it's more that he doesn't want Dragon Ball fans to forever remember him as Piccolo from that terrible movie. Although, I've heard Piccolo was actual very good and was the only positive. So, there's that.
