Best to Worst Kai Dubs

[Bansho64]

Which languages do you really think benefited from Kai?
Which ones didn't? I'd like to hear y'all's thoughts.
And just to put this out there, here's the Thai dub of Kai. It's uh.....interesting to say the least.

-We don't really need to say that the English was a massive improvement (I did anyway, just so this topic won't devolve into that).

-When it comes to the French Dub, I'm also on Team Kai.
-As for Spanish Kai, it is, quite possibly, the most meh thing I have ever heard. They could not have forced it lower down on the "okayish-ey" scale if they tried.

Agreed

-When it comes to the French Dub, I'm also on Team Kai.

I agree even more so!

-As for Spanish Kai, it is, quite possibly, the most meh thing I have ever heard. They could not have forced it lower down on the "okayish-ey" scale if they tried.

Agreed thrice. The original Z trumps Kai in Spanish.

The Latin American dub was a nightmare. Thank god we are starting to just reair Z instead.

The Brazilian dub had many recasts and horrible sound mixing but i think the acting was very good, even the replacement actors did a very good job, specially Dado Monteiro as Vegeta (not as good as Alfredo Rollo but he did great too).

Go to 3:07 on this video. Korean Gohan's voice is very high. Not that that's a bad thing. I like it.

A bit too high, but at least the screams are clean even if it's so high. That Goku voice has to be one of the better dub voices I've heard for Goku; not too deep or "manly" without being too high, either, and seems to be able to scream properly.

Freeza, though... What did I just listen to?!

Yeah, those screams are pretty good. And like you said, the Korean Goku in Kai is pretty good as well.

I actually like this one more. He's so crazy and exciting. Those kung foo yells sound amazing and packed with a lot of force, like he's really struggling. You can find another clip of him here. The voice has a feeling or charisma that I rarely ever hear in any Goku. I wish he had been in Kai.
As for Freeza....yeah. The voice is pretty unfitting but at least it's acted awesomely.

I find his "kung-fu" unfitting, honestly, but I'll admit he packs quite a bit of emotions into his acting.

Eh, fair enough.

On that note, Cantonese Kai sounds pretty good.

Yeah, Gohan sounds good.

I always wonder why Armando Coria was cast as Dodoria, the voice he used didn't sound like John Swasey's. I would have preferred Miguel Ángel Ghigliazza to voice Dodoria if Mario Sauret couldn't.

I know this is from three years ago but uh, there was no actual Spanish Kai dub. There was however a Mexican-Spanish dub (better known as "Latin-Spanish", "Latino" or "LATAM"). Worth noting, I was once told that Selecta Visión was in charge of the Spanish Kai dub but as we can see, nothing happened.

That aside, Kai also got dubbed in similar Latin languages in Spain. It was dubbed in Galego and Catalàn, neither of these are really "Spanish" languages but they're (still) part of Spain as of now.
