Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discussion

[Pokewhiz7]

"I am the Super Saiyan, Son Goku!"

It wasn't that, it was "I am the Super Seiyan, Sun Goku!"

[Metalwario64]

"I am the Super Seiyan, Sun Goku!"

No, he pronounced Son correctly this time.

[Pokewhiz7]

"I am the Super Seiyan, Sun Goku!"

No, he pronounced Son correctly this time.

Did he? I could have sworn he didn't when I watched it. Oh well.

[DB_Fan1991]

It's Son for sure, here see this clip, and you'll know. http://youtu.be/fj79XCsmoLw

[Pokewhiz7]

Well I'll be damned, he did say it right.

[Rocketman]

Seiyan

Why do you spell it as if "ai" never sounds like "ay", while "ei" does?

[Pokewhiz7]

Seiyan

Why do you spell it as if "ai" never sounds like "ay", while "ei" does?

Because I couldn't figure out how to convey the way they say it through text, and I fucked up. Would Sayan be better?

Sai-yan or Sai-ya-jin. Doesn't ring a bell. It's too essential for the Saiyan name pun and most English dub fans say usually "Say-en".

It's from the Japanese pronunciations though, the "ai" would sound like "eye", which we hear in the Japanese "Saiya-jin" while the "ei", as in "'eeeeeey", pops up in the English dub pronunciation of Saiyan, so they ARE saying it as "Seiyan".

Just realized that this thread has 291 pages. DO YOU GUYS GET IT?!
OT: I was watching an episode about a week ago and I thought Second Form Cell sounded a lot like Travis Willingham and not Daemeon Clarke. Are my ears just tricking me?

Oh mah Gooooood!

I haven't heard much of Willingham's Cell, but it did sound better than Clarke's, even doing it better for Kai.

[Mountain]

Haha. It sounded, to me, like Schemmel slipped into his Kaiō voice when he said, "Son Goku!"

Good call!

[Ussj Future Trunks]

No I don't...What's so special about 291 pages?

[jpdbzrulz4sure]

No I don't...What's so special about 291 pages?

This thread has as many pages as DBZ has episodes.

[JulieYBM]

No I don't...What's so special about 291 pages?

Dragon Ball Z was 291 episodes.

[Rory]

I may as well post on a page 291 while I have the chance.

[Kendamu]

It's interesting to hear some Buu arc BGM during the Freeza battle.

As for the SSJ and "I am the Super Saiyan, Son Goku!" scenes, ehhhh... the Kikuchi pieces used in DBZ did the scenes more justice. And Yamamoto's "The Braveheart's Triumphant Return" was better for the latter scene than the Kikuchi piece used.

What piece was used for the "I am the Super Saiyan, Son Goku!" speech in Kikuchi Kai?

[Mewzard]

I'm impatiently awaiting the return of Kai's dub to Nicktoons...even if it must end early, I still gotta get what I can (at least my return to college and weekly episodes of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger ease my impatience).

Are there any major differences from what varieties of music they've used for the home release after the music problems vs the two tv-releases (behind on my dvds)? And if so, which would you guys say is the most enjoyable?

Not all that on-topic, but I wanted to post this somewhere, and this was the most suitable thread.

Inspired by a chatroom mention of how the design of the second Bluray release makes Vegeta looks like he's angry at the banner.

We need to do this for all six of them now. Awesome.

What program was that image edited in?
