Does Goku sound manlier in the otherwise shitty Film Audio?

I always thought Goku sounded a lot manlier in the Classic Japanese DBZ show but I realized this is an unintended effect of the shitty Film Audio.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

What is manlier? What makes a man? I don't think there is a wrong answer, so I don't really know how to say one way or the other.

If Symphony of the Night has taught me anything in life, is that man is a miserable pile of secrets.

But assuming it is more of a bravado or something that is more honourable warrior voice trope, I never really felt that Goku is still the person who likes to become strong and fight with others to test himself. Things certainly change given the situation and age. But for this case I don't really notice too much difference. Maybe a bit of a mature tone in his voice, but that may be more so Nozawa evolving with the character.

So I guess not really, is the short answer.

In Movie 12 Nozawa pitches Goku's voice deeper than usual right after he activates Super Saiyan 3 against Janemba ("You're the first person I've had to use this on aside from Majin Buu"). She does this occasionally.

Other than that, I'm not sure what the question is referring to.

Manlier compared to DBS? I never really payed attention, maybe a comparison video could help.
