i remember reading somewhere
Toei secretly tried to recast Goku but Masako found out and got mad, does anyone know if this was true or not?

no, i think it was for Battle of gods or around this timeeledoremassis02 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 07, 2020 5:50 pmWas it around the time they made Goku older (and cast a male in the part)? Cause if I recall Toriyama fought for her job as she is Goku.

I don't know how i remember but I swear it was somewhere between the 2008 OVA and the 2013 film

I remember Toei worrying that Masako was getting old

Re: i remember reading somewhere
Only someone who works at Toei would know that if you can't find that info somewhere else. That's gonna be a big "citation needed" from me. It also sounds out of character for everyone involved, so more leaning towards BS.

Re: i remember reading somewhere
It might have been speculation as I do recall a "what if" thread about recasting Nozawa. And I did make a thread of anyone else voiced Goku for a promo or something (in the vein of this not being Kevin Conroy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6lALCLKHGM)

Re: i remember reading somewhere
Wasn't there someone who posted here about a voice actor from South Korea who could have replaced Masako Nozawa? I think I remember them sounding really really good too!

The rumor was that Toei wanted to recast Goku for Battle of Gods, they asked Toriyama and he was against it. That’s just it. I have no idea who spread it and if it’s true or not.

Re: i remember reading somewhere
I would 100% believe that Toei wanted to recast Goku for BOG, and I would also 100% believe that Toriyama said "fuck no" and everyone listened to him.
Dunno if it's true, but it's 100% believable.

The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Re: i remember reading somewhere
Wow, that's really shocking if actually true especially considering Nozawa has consistently played Goku (plus Gohan, Goten.etc) for so many years. I wouldn't be surprised if they had made an attempt to replace her at some point around that time and Toriyama told them "Hell no" or "Over my dead body". Something like that, given how she's still going strong wouldn't go over well if he has anything to say about it especially given he had a hand in her getting the role in the first place back in 1985/1986 when they were initially casting for the anime.
DB collection related goals as of now:
1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done)
2.) Collect rest of manga
3.) Get rest of Daizenshuu (2-7)

Re: i remember reading somewhere
For real now...As iconic as Goku in Japan, and his voice actress Masako Nozawa, legendary seiyuu with career spanning over 50 years, who has been voicing Son Goku since 1986 for original DB till Kai (2011)
What makes ya'll believe TOEI or Toriyama outta nowhere wud suddenly decide to recast Masako Nozawa in BOG that just releases 2 years following Kai![🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/s9e/emoji-assets-twemoji@11.2/dist/svgz/1f923.svgz)
If anything, it might've been mere speculation among TOEI staffs during BOG pre-production stage, of which itself must've irked the superior staffs & goddamn...musta ragged that genius to death![😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/s9e/emoji-assets-twemoji@11.2/dist/svgz/1f602.svgz)

It sounds like a dumb American fanboy rumor to me.

Re: i remember reading somewhere
that sounds like something they both would do. and if its true at least that means toei isnt against recasting once she passes. but until then or she s ays shes done she should keep the role.

Re: i remember reading somewhere
Is quite possible they began looking for an understudy/replacement given that they aren't getting younger and even replaced some VA during kai and super. Probably through the game of telephone between two different languages it's possible the rumor was born.
