Well he said "everyone would like it", whatever it was.

And while most people on this forum, myself included, are pulling for over eight thousand, it's clear that not all of us want it.

Oh and since Chris said everybody wins, I'm willing to be he says something like "IT'S NEARLY TEN THOUSAND!!"

Saiyan is indeed Seiyan. :(

Maybe it'll be Kaioh's voice, or his name, or Shen Long gets to be Shen Long instead of Shenron...?

I'm still stuck on "big" and "shocking."

8000 and 9000 don't really strike me as either.

I'm almost desperate enough to think that they de-censored Goku and Raditz' death.

Outside of recastings, I can't think of any other big news for the dub. We've all already heard how they're handling things, and it's much better than before, so what could surprise us?

He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Nah, we would have heard people going crazy about it post-conventions. Plus photoshopping on a poorly photoshopped image wouldn't look too great.

Although, ideally, they could just put a giant black circle over Goku's "bruise" and it'd look infinitely better and closer to the manga.

Or they could replace it with Dragon Box footage. :lol:

Chris Sabat mentioned awhile back that "everybody wins" with that one. We assumed that it'd be "9000" on TV and "8000" on DVD.

This new secret was said to be BIG and SHOCKING.
Well, I'm just grasping at straws here! :P

It would look inconsistent as shit (as if both DBZ and Kai didn't already), but I wouldn't care. I'd applaud FUNimation and buy 6 copies.

Right, right. That was shown already. I guess I'm just thinking too hard about this sort of thing.

Oh well. If RightStuf ships early like they normally do then I guess we'll know in a couple weeks tops.

Maybe it's about where it's airing. We know that it's airing on Nicktoons, but didn't Colleen Clinkenbeard say something about it airing on CN, as well? We all took it as a mistake she made, but perhaps she knew more than we thought.

I really cannot think of what else would shock us. We're already pretty shocked that the dub clips we saw were actually pretty decent.

Yeeeuhhh boy!

I pre-ordered from RightStuf for that very reason.

I promise to let you guys know anything if I happen to get it early. Though I'm sure plenty of you have also pre-ordered from RightStuf :oops:

Maybe the entire English voice cast will speak Japanese on the DVD, with English subtitles that are extremely accurate but actually just romanizations of the English cast's Japanese dialogue.

That way it will be TOTALLY HARDCORE for the TRUE FANS.

I'd cry from laughing so hard! They should actually attempt a Japanese dub of their own! It would be the perfect extra. :lol:

Are the Kaiou and Kami referred to as Gods/deities? That would shock the hell out of me.
