Looks like for Sparking Zero Clickenbeard won't be voicing Daima Goku, it'll only be his Japanese voice.

Hmmmmmmm, I genuinely think Geekdom is right and Nadolny will be returning :think:

Well, if Nadolny is returning to voice Daima Goku, is she going to give Daima Goku the same raspy voice as her Kid Goku from OG DB?

Not a bad idea. Considering how the guys at FUNI handled stuff without context (Batman / Classy British Goku Black on XV2) in the past, this is the better option for the moment.

I'm aware we've seen kid Goku on OG DB and GT, but I doubt Daima kid Goku will act the same as them.

She would presumably use her Goku voice yes. Or more likely her closest approximation that she can remember, she hasn't done the voice professionally since George Bush Jr was in office

Technically, her final performance as Goku was in the early months of the Obama administration. Revenge of King Piccolo was released in October 2009. (Also the final appearance of Tiffany Vollmer as Bulma.)

My mistake. I remembered the game was her last performance as Goku, but thought the game came out in 2008

If this clip's anything to go off of I'd say it'll be in this ballpark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HibHOD5DPoo

I forgot how bad the voice of young Goku sounded in the English dub. Wow.
The rest of the voices sound okay but since Goku's the main character...yikes.
It sounds too forced. Rather than sounding like a young boy, it sounds like an older girl that smoked 40 packs of cigarettes for the last few years.

I can't hear Steph at all. It sounds like Colleen not Seph. When does Goku say any line in this trailer? Even that Haaa at the end don't sound like Steph. Are you sure you guys are right?

Yeah that's Nadolny, the last time she played Kid Goku was in a video game back in 2009 I believe, so 15 years. It makes sense she sounds a bit different.

Damn, it really is Nadolny, guess I'll have to eat my words. Honestly, she doesn't sound very good, but maybe she'll sound better in the actual series. After listening to some of Clinkenbeard's Goku, I would've liked to see her take in an actual full-on series, but I suppose it is nice for voice consistency that Nadolny returned.

It...certainly is Stephanie Nadolny's Goku. I still wish Clinkenbeard had been given a chance to do a full series.

Oh well. At least I still have Nozawa.

Honestly if I hadn't read "OmG Steph is back" in the comments I would of never guessed that was her. I thought it was somebody else. No confirmation yet from her on social media (if she has one) but I guess her and Funi/Crunchyroll have come to terms. Welcome back Steph! Glad to have you back in Dragon Ball.

Now just give us Og English Bulma and then we'll be reliving the days of yesteryear.

Those who "called it" on social media are of course doing their victory laps online.

Sheesh! Nadolny sounds... rough...

But at least it's not Clinkenbeard! :thumbup:

The leak was true. Very nice. Now if only we could get rid of Monica Rial for the OG voice as well. We can only pray.

They really could've just gotten the other lady from OK KO if they wanted someone who sounded similar but could actually act. I prefer Nadolny to Clinkenbeard for Kid Goku (her Gohan is better) but the correct choice here would have been neither of them.

Also no, I don't want Vollmer back as Bulma.

I don't get it. Even if you don't like Clinkenbeard, you'd swear the amount of negativity thrown at that one performance that she was among the worst actors FUNi ever hired.

And damn! We were out of the darkness. Why are they bringing Nadolny, one of the worst parts of DB back? Fingers crossed Vollmer doesn't return. I don't know if Freeza is part of this series but if so, here's hoping we get a suitable replacement and not chain-smoking grandma.

Damn, additional incentive to not watch Daima dubbed just dropped.

I find it a little rich that folks are quick to bash some of the old Funi voices. Last I checked JPN Vegeta wasn't exactly peak anymore either. His screams are no where near the levels they used to be. While I admit Steph sounds super different here it is hubris to imply that og Bulma's voice wasn't good.

She was a good Bulma voice actress. Let's not forget JPN Cell phoning it in for Kai as another example so let's wait for actual dialogue before we judge ya.
