That's what the Ocean Dub did. Are you thinking of that?
And even then, it was Drummond, Vegeta's VA, copying Morrow, Goku's VA, not the other way around.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

I've never seen that dub but that sounds like what was reported about Kai.

I do remember some speculation to that effect, but I'm pretty sure speculation is all it ever was.

But I got confirmation that it's both of them for Kai from Sean himself.

Did anyone see the promo for The Final Chapters on Toonami Pre-flight? We get some snippets of Goten, Saiyaman, Piccolo, and Vegeta. They all sounded great, and Saiyaman sounded (appropriately?) Z-dub-esque.

There's also a Super promo where we hear Goten (sounded a bit too exaggerated, or maybe it just sounded that way because it was out of context), Goku, Mr. Satan, Kibito Kai (sounds deeper than he did in the Z dub...almost like his normal voice was run through a deepening filter), old Kai, Beerus, and kid Trunks yelling (not much to go off of to form an impression of the new voice actress though).

You can watch the Pre-flight video here: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/toonami ... 23rd-2016/
The Super promo starts at around 42:04 and is followed by the Kai promo at 43:41.

I have to say, Edwards' Goten is sounding so good these days!

Edit: Did anyone notice that Kibitoshin sounds a bit deeper than usual? Maybe it's something they did in Kai that they're carrying over to Super?

Probably. I'm guessing they're trying to get the fact it's Shin and Kibito across more.

In any case, those promos do look cool.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Two more weeks can't quite believe it, part of me was worried it was gonna go the way of Ocean Kai especially after they announced Super first. But we here and everything sounds great especially Kyle's Gohan!

Hopefully it'll be announced soon. I'm kinda wondering whether they're gonna release them before they air.

FMA is possibly the greatest anime ever alongside DB.

April is probably the earliest we can see listings pop up.

Pretty sure there'd also be a Season 7 set as well, counting how many episodes there are.

They'll probably release it in parts first so maybe 2 years or so.

It's curious how this still has not appeared in any tv guides. This one, for example, shows One Punch Man airing at midnight instead of The Final Chapters. I obviously know that the listing is wrong, but I'm just curious to see how they'll show the listing. Will they continue to refer to it as just "Dragon Ball Z Kai", or will they include "The Final Chapters" as part of the title? Will they refer to the premiere as episode 1 or episode 99 (I know Funimation will probably go with episode 99, but I'm just curious to see what the networks will do)?

Not sure on the episode number, but I could see them having it listed as "DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters", which is what the narrator said at the end of the latest promo.
