Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discussion

[Amigo Ten]

Something like that, yeah. It's what he's yelling anyway, just in Japanese.

[JulieYBM]

According to the credits Sabat gave Mr. Popo back to Chris Cason. O.o

[Amigo Ten]

Wait, so have they kept T-ien or not?

Something like that, yeah. It's what he's yelling anyway, just in Japanese.

Yeah, but that just sounds silly and overdone. It'd be like Stonce Cold hitting the Stone Cold Stunner and then Jim Ross yelling, "SITTING THREE-QUARTERS FACELOCK CHINBREAKER! SITTING THREE-QUARTERS FACELOCK CHINBREAKER! SITTING THREE-QUARTERS FACELOCK CHINBREAKER!"

Official. Son family name is kept. I see "Son Gohan" in the credits.

I am liking this more and more.

Actually, the Son family name was used only for the Japanese voice credits. In The U.S voice credits in the beginning, the family name is removed.

But hey, they actually include most or maybe all of the Japanese credits instead of a small list for a couple of seconds, so that's a plus for sub fans.

[Gozar]

I...am...stunned. I really didn't see this coming. I figured they'd keep all naming as is. I wonder what this means for future Video Games. But this is such a great development. Nice to see FUNi FINALLY taking DB seriously. And it only took them 15 years =P

Is that Vic Mignogna singing the OP and ED? Sounds kind of like him but that quality makes it hard to tell.

It definitely sounds like him for the ED, but not so much the opening.

And with the attack names, I hope they are consistent, and correct Kaioken's pronunciation, and keep "Kienzan" as opposed to "Destructo Disc".

Ahahaha, the OP and ED are so laughable in English.

Everything sounds laughable in that quality. Radditz sounds like a robot or something, and I can't even understand him.

[Kendamu]

I like what I'm hearing so far out of the YouTube clips of the dub. I'll very easily be able to give it a one-over without a problem.

I think Schemmel's doing the opening, actually. Those opening bits sounded really sounded like him, but who knows...

[jjgp1112]

I don't see how that sounds like Schemmel at all. That clearly sounds like Vic Mignogna.

[SSJSteve]

At first I thought it was Sean Schemmel but now it does sound like Vic Mignogna.

[ohaimynameiserik]

If the trailer didn't already sell me,

the proper attack names did.

I love you, Chris Sabat :3

[Metalwario64]

I tried as hard I could to hear Sabat in Popo, but I'm 99% sure they went back to having him voiced by Chris Cason

What is up with Popo seemingly voiced by Chris Cason? In the trailer it was obviously Sabat...

[jjgp1112]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that Nappa sounded almost exactly like his Abridged counterpart when he said, "That's more like it, boy!"

[Puto]

Something like that, yeah. It's what he's yelling anyway, just in Japanese.

Yeah, but that just sounds silly and overdone. It'd be like Stonce Cold hitting the Stone Cold Stunner and then Jim Ross yelling, "SITTING THREE-QUARTERS FACELOCK CHINBREAKER! SITTING THREE-QUARTERS FACELOCK CHINBREAKER! SITTING THREE-QUARTERS FACELOCK CHINBREAKER!"

Yet, that list had the dub names for everyone else.

[Metalwario64]

"King Kai" sounds exactly the same, too...

I never really had a problem with his voice, but I know many here will be angered by this outcome.

The only dub voice I've ever had any qualms with was Fri­eza's dub voice. I am really excited, I don't even mind Linda Young returning just as long as I can get the voices I love, with great directing and an excellent script.

Yamcha: "With Kami's training, those Saiyans don't stand a chance in Hell!".

Yep, FUNi's definitely being more liberal with swears.

That is also great, as long as they don't needlessly add swearing into dialogue that original didn't have any...

[Kendamu]

I figured Kaio would sound the same. His voice is the only one I can't really stand.

[JulieYBM]

Cason also seems to be Umigame as well, from what I can read from the credits.

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Piccolo and his Makkankosappo:

Not sure what to make of it, other than I guessed right. =3

I'm just f****** speechless, that was awesome!



I'm so super excited!

[Gozar]

Gotta say, this turn of events makes me feel much more confident in the prediction of "Over 8000" that I made on the Podcast.

[Gaffer Tape]

Gotta say, this turn of events makes me feel much more confident in the prediction of "Over 8000" that I made on the Podcast.

But then again, they apparently used "Over 9,000" as one of their tags in the trailer on YouTube, so who knows...? What with Saiya-jin continuing to be mispronounced, I'm still putting my money on 9,000.
