Her Portrayal of Kid and Adult Goku in DB/Z/GT is Definitely my Favorite because she captured his Childlike innocence, Hick nature and battle savy nature Flawlessly and when it was required she made Goku sound both Goofy and Serious without making it sound over the top, though I just don't get the same feeling in Her Goku in Super, I mean I still prefer Japanese voice of goku but it seems that the voice has got a little squeaky and she hits more high pitched notes (I guess it fits how they are portraying Goku in Super lol) than she used to in older Series but her Goku Black was Fantastic seeing her age she still maintains that standard and I doubt if dub voice will able to top it and her Gohan was also good not only kid but even Adult because she gave him such a distinct tone from Goku like an educated polite toned boy and more calmer and her Kid Gohan was really Adorable like her Kid goku was same for Goten which was more like her Kid Gohan but with voice tone similar to Chi Chi as he had only her during his early days before goku came to earth and I actually liked her Tullece and Bardock too, I mean her Tullece Performance was really BADASSS and she really gave him such an intimidating and commanding lower voice compared to goku and also her Bardock was like that, it may have sounded like goku but it was different from her goku voice and there was no hick tone or slangs that goku voice tone had and she made Bardock sound more arrogant and cocky seeing how different he was from goku so I think she really does a great job at voicing male members of Son Family
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

I saw the Japanese "I am the Son Goku, the Super Saiyan!" speech recently and I was impressed by how calm yet threatening Nozawa sounded.

I liked her as young Goku and Gohan, but IMO Nadolny beats everyone at those voices. Still, Nozawa puts in excellent work for every role she voices. Her Goten (and Kara Edwards' Goten, too) annoys me though.

Baggie_Saiyan wrote:So I feel like I am at the stage where I can more or less discuss Nozawa and her many portrayals, in the main series anyway I haven't heard her Bardock, Turles or SS4 Goku yet but I am curious to know what people's favourite role of hers has been.
Her adult Goku is pretty good even when I didn't like her I still complemented her screams as adult Goku and to this day that is probably still may favourite aspect about her portrayal as Goku that aswell as her goofy Goku too, (and luckily Sean Schemmel has both of those aspects pretty down too so I am more than happy about sub and dub Goku!). Her Goten is cute it's fine for what the character is. Her kid Gohan again was fine no real complaints but I am not a huge fan of her adult Gohan at all, granted I have only seen Super and parts of Z in JPN but yeah. Her Black was actually a pretty big surprise to me actually, I know most of the JPN Ver fans weren't worried at all but yeah she completely owned that role just everything about that performance was top notch and it is kind of unfair for people to follow that performance in all these various dubs of Super.
But finally comes my favourite portrayal of hers hands down is Kid Goku from OG DB, I was expecting her to sound something like Goten but man was I way wrong her kid Goku is absolutely amazing to the point I actually wanted Goku to be in every scene and would be hotly anticipating the next ones he is in, never felt like that before watching subbed DB the only time I felt like that in dubbed DB was when Ayres was Freeza but yeah totally blown away by that was pretty unexpected :thumbup: I have watched like 12 eps of OG DB in JPN so far can't wait to watch the rest of it!
Goku and Goku Black! Ssj4 Goku is good, too.

Goku all the way, followed by Gohan.

Goku black and Goten have the best ones imo.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Lamentably, her Goku from DBS not sound as good as her DB/DBZ/GT Goku, but her Gohan and Goten still on point.
And incredibly, his Goku Black sounds pleasant to hear and elegant, i actually like it a lot more than Sean Schemmel's Batman voice.
