Straw Hats on DB

Post by Super Sonic » Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:31 pm

Being a fan of DB and One Piece, as the title says, have all the Straw Hat Pirates' voice actors appeared in DB? I know that some have on both sides of the Pacific, but don't know if the entire pre-timeskip crew have. (Going with pre-timeskip as I am behind on the OP anime, and don't know if the newest member has made it officially in the anime yet in Japan). Didn't watch much of Super so don't know on that front at all, so thinking maybe the ones who weren't in DB, Z, GT or Kai might've shown up there. So anyone know?

From the Japanese cast:

Luffy (Mayumi Tanaka) - Kuririn/Yajirobe/Uranai Baba
Zoro (Kazuya Nakai) - Tagoma
Usopp (Kappei Yamaguchi) - Fu
Robin (Yuriko Yamaguchi) - Vados

Bonus: Masako Nozawa (Son Goku, Son Gohan, Son Goten) as Dr. Kureha and Toshio Furukawa (Piccolo, General Blue) as Ace. There are a few more big DB cast pulls, but the ones I'm thinking of are post-timeskip.

More than half of the Straw Hats have not had a role in DB.

From the English dub cast:

Luffy (Colleen Clinkenbeard) - Kid Goku, Kid Gohan, Mai, Zangya, one of Princess Snake's attendants
Zoro (Chris Sabat) - Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, and too many others to list
Nami (Luci Christian) - Yurin
Usopp (Sonny Strait) - Krillin, General Blue
Sanji (Eric Vale) - Trunks, World Martial Arts Tournament Announcer
Chopper (Brina Palencia) - Chiaotzu, Puar, Arale
Robin (Stephanie Young) - Towa
Franky (Patrick Seitz) - Jiren
Brook (Ian Sinclair) - Whis

Bonus: Sean Schemmel is among the few actors to have roles in both US English dubs of One Piece, being Helmeppo in the 4Kids dub and Dr. Indigo in the Funimation dub of Strong World.

As you can see, every English dub Straw Hat from before the timeskip has had at least one role in DB, some multiple, and generally a lot more substantive than the Japanese Straw Hat cast members who also voiced in DB.

Luffy (Mayumi Tanaka) - Kuririn/Yajirobe/Uranai Baba
That's Uranai Baba #2, just to be clear. :sick:

The two share a bunch of other cast members, as well.

Jōji Yanami (Narrator/Kaio) played Mayor Boodle in the Buggy arc
Daisuke Gōri (Mr Satan) played Jinbei originally, but only recorded two episodes before his death
Tōru Furuya (Yamucha) has a major role after the time skip

Correct. I just thought that if I specified that, though, I'd need to specify that Clinkenbeard is the fourth English Kid Gohan, like the seventh English Kid Goku, and do the same for all the other in-house dub actors, then it gets all cluttered...

Speaking of which, I forgot to put Android #18 for Clinkenbeard. D'oh!

Scott McNeil (original Funimation voice of Piccolo, as well as fat Boo in the Westwood Media dub) also played Shiki in that movie, as well as one episode of the series.

I find it weird how they spent Zoro's badass voice on friggin Tagoma of all characters. At least he got a bit better role in the anime instead of dying right away like in RoF, but yeah...

The fact that irrelevant purple pimple Ginyu-surrogate had Zoro's voice is maddening. Why couldn't it be for a ToP character or something?

Because I saw her first before seeing the Baba Saga in Japanese, I think of her for Baba more than the man who played her then. BTW, thanks for the info. Knew on most of the English cast, but didn't know if Robin, Nami and Franky were. And only knew of Ms. Tanaka in Japan. Will say Robin was how I first knew of Stephanie Young and thus, the only one I knew of for one Piece first, sans new person who I'm not spoiling here. Knew Sanji, Zoro and Usopp for DB roles first, while Nami for Azumanga Daioh and FMA, and Chopper for Shin Chan. And by the time Franky and Brook showed up, knew them for several things first.

I believe Ryuusei Nakao played "Whirlwind Eric" (I believe that is his name) in one of the early filler arcs

Tanaka's Baba is terrible and shouldn't be associated with the character at all in my mind. Junpei Takiguchi was it.

Yes, as Tanaka's take is literally just her Yajirobe voice. It sounds almost 100% identical and i definitely think Takiguchi was the better voice of Baba. They should've gotten someone on the cast other than Tanaka to do the character once the former stopped voicing her.
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)
