Were the “lost episodes” dubbed later than the rest of the show? I was under the impression that FUNimation dubbed them first, but simply held off on releasing them until after the rest of the show already aired.

Baughman's Pan, I've never really liked much, tbh. While I wouldn't call her bad & I didn't hate her, I kinda prefer the new VA from Super Hero.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Same. Her line delivery was always just kinda weird to me. I mean a lot of the cast was back then but I guess since she wasn't really putting on much of a voice it made it more apparent or something?

Definitely were because like the performances lined up much more with the end of the Shadow Dragons arc with Chandler being much less.. dry, flat and edgy in his narration being a good tell. And Elise Baughman's Pan sounded a bit higher pitched suddenly during the episodes they original dubbed compared to before where she was like... trying less to sound so forcefully youthful I guess?
