I'm hearing from Chinese sources saying that voice actor Ryusei Nakao has confirmed that he tested positive for covid-19. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Wishing Nakao a speedy recovery. Still love watching the original Freeza arc in Z for his magnificent performances, something about those laughs really make it a uniquely compelling voice for a villain.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
