What happens when Masako Nozawa passes away in the future?

Although I'd rather focus on what she's achieving now while she's alive, it'd be a very sad day.

I feel as though if she were to pass (god forbid), Goku would pass along with her.

They're gonna have to replace everyone in the Japanese voice cast within the next 10 years probably. Aren't they all over 50?
Also, I had no idea King Kai's VA retired...

I'd rather the entire Dragonball franchise crash and burn then see it go on without Masak Nozawa.

Hopefully Super ends within 5 years time at the most so it won't be an issue. She'll be 85 by then so I think that's a good time to end the series.

Thats nonsensical! Dragonball franchise should not just be revolved around Goku or Nozawa you know that! Or do you want to remember Goku's voice as being of some annoying pissed off old lady? Just because its original doesn't mean its better.

Nozawa always seemed to be a very nice lady whenever I've seen her in interviews and I don't think she ever portrayed her characters as such.

No one ever said she was better than whatever you're referring to Also, most people are actually gonna remember that "annoying pissed off old lady" as Goku.

Thats because her original role began playing as kid Goku. Eventually the show moved on and Goku was an adult! Where they going to replace the actor? From the grown fame and popularity of Nozawa's voice probably not. So now your basically stuck with her voice trying to portray a grown up male that sounds like an old lady. Which over years her voice began to sound even more cringe. Just go and watch some old recordings of Goku during Frieza saga and compare them to how Goku sounds like in Super. Big Difference Imo

I'm not really interested in debating this with you, but I'll leave it at "I disagree".

We have a moment of sadness and then grow unreasonably bitter towards the one who replaces her, like everyone else. Pretty simple, it's not like the show would collapse when losing one VA.
