Looks like Ryota Suzuki has been announced to replace Toru Furuya as Yamcha, from Dragon Ball Daima onwards.

I believe this is like the situation in which Vic Mignogna is replaced by Johnny Young Bosch as Broly thanks to Mignogna's sexual allegations scandal back in 2019.

If Toei does a re-release of any Dragon Ball anime and film material where Toru Furuya voiced Yamcha, will Toei ever have Ryota Suzuki redub Yamcha's lines in those material?

Hmm... I'm not familiar with that seiyuu. But well, I'll check out his work later.

Anyway, welcome to the Dragon Ball franchise, Ryota Suzuki.

I highly doubt TOEI would go out of their way to do this, can't even see Crunchyroll going back to replace Broly's lines in the old Z movies.

It's not like Yamamoto where it was a legal matter and the audio can be heard throughout the episode. Most likely Toru Furuya's old lines will just be left as-is while Ryota Suzuki casually takes his place.

Done. He sounds like a good addition to the cast.

No, mainly because it would involve remixing the entire audio track and Toei no longer keeps the music and voice multitracks for OG and Z.

Did they state why he was replaced?

Did they state why he was replaced?

I believe they did. In addition to that, the infamous sexual harassment allegations case of Toru Furuya is nearly similar to that of Vic Mignogna.

That's awful. Was hoping it was a situation where both parties parted on good terms and there weren't any allegations like that.

Not really. I'm not here to downplay what Mignogna did but dude, as as I am aware, was just a creep who got too handsy with female con goers and co-workers and made unwanted comments to them even when they asked him too stop.

Furuya is a rapist and abuser. Both are bad and both men deserved to lose their jobs but one is definitely way worse.

Did they state why he was replaced?

No. This is very much an "if you know you know" issue for all parties involved. They have absolutely nothing to gain from shifting the focus from the show they're trying to promote to the actor they're trying to remove their association to with as little noise and drama as possible.

Oh, and minor correction here. He's not being replaced as Yamucha IN Dragonball Daima, he's being replaced as Yamucha in DRAGONBALL, AS OF Dragonball Daima episode 1.

It's a permanent franchise-wide replacement.

I've watched many anime shows he's done. The time of that video was when he wasn't as grounded in the industry yet. He's grown since then. I know him for Ishigami of Kaguya-Sama Love is War. That was the character and show that put him on the map.

BTW, in said anime, they have a reference/homage to Dragon Ball in one of the episodes.

[MCDaveG]

That’s reasonable. We have seen this coming since the news on Furuya broke out.
Damn, I did love his portrayals as Yamcha and Amuro Ray, but what he did is disgusting.
The last playthrough of FighterZ with Yamcha in it left a bit of sour taste.

Looking forward to the new voice.
I got used to Satan from Super quite fast, I wonder what will be the new actor’s approach and voice overall.

[Kid Buu]

Good. Yamcha deserves better than Furuya.
