Random thought: Ain't that some shit?!

Post by tinlunlau » Sun Oct 07, 2012 3:04 pm

I was browsing through wikipedia (JP) and it turns out that the voice actor who played Trunks was also the voice of Donatello at one point in the Japanese dub of Ninja Turtles. Trunks' hair is purple and Donatello's headband is...well, you get the drift.

Just thought I'd give it a mention.
The world is your's.

Fun fact: In the original comics, all Trunkses had red hair.

Wow, pretty funny coincidence....Also Trunks and Donatello are both intelligent...

Didn't Masako Nozawa play Short-Round in the Japanese Dub of Indiana Jones 2?

Both Short-Round and Goku/Gohan/Goten are... asian kids?

She also voiced Doug Funnie in the Japanese dub of Doug.

Both Doug and Gohan are NEEERRRDDS!!!!

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I thought so too, but according to ANN anyway, it was Mayumi Tanaka.

Umm...he..uhh .. knows about biotechnology (Movie 11) and I'm pretty sure his one of his daizenshuu profiles says he likes to tinker with machines.

You guys probably wouldn't count it, but Trunks is the only one qualified to fly the ship in GT.

He's also Bulma's son, so there's that.

Well, Trunks really is intelligent. He's well-mannered.

He can operate the time machine well enough to pinpoint the duplicate's age. He can tell if a bug hatched from it's cocoon long ago or recently. He can also read blueprints, something the likes of Krillin would find "hard stuff".

It wouldn't be silly to say that he has to be a pretty clever guy to enjoy working on machines. So considering these things, especially in the DB universe, I'd say he's a very intelligent guy.

Black Doom from the terrible Shadow the Hedgehog game was played by Sean Schemennel (due to typing this on my phone I don't know how to spell his name correctly. I'll change it later).

At one point, Duncan Brannan (Babidi) was the voice of Barney.
