You figure with how fast voice-mimic tech is going, within a decade they'll be able to sample her massive lifetime of Goku voice clips and have Goku-in-a-can. Hell, it'd allow them to let Goku sound young again so he can get back to doing Kaiokenx4 level murderscreams.

I am surprised she can still do all the screaming necessary for a Dragon Ball protagonist at her age, the woman must have iron clad lungs or something. But yeah, I am sort of curious what the plan is when Nozawa finally passes.

They'll use the Dragon Balls to revive her, obviously. I'm not convinced they haven't used them to wish for her immortality though. It'd explain how she can somehow keep screaming like she does at her age.

In Japan, they generally never recast a voice actor until they pass away. King Kai is a notable exception; I remember a lot of people complaining about him early in Super. That said, when a voice actor does pass away, they will recast the role, though I suspect Nozama's death will be the first time a character with the pedigree of Goku will need be recast.

I've always liked it. I think it's fascinating a woman is THE voice of this zen meathead. She could scream like a complete demon back in the day, and it's a miracle she can still get out as much as she does in her mid-motherfucking-EIGHTIES. I always felt like UI was in part a bit of a clean trick design - a quiet, menacing Goku in the angel state means she can do the part without him screaming his head off as much during the climax.

And yeah, Nozawa sounds incredibly threatening when she gets to play a villain (and all it really takes is just lowering the pitch of her Goku voice a bit) Larryb fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Sep 16, 2021 |

Did they rerecord the VA for Kai in Japan? I know they did for the US dub. I wanted to compare her voice from the 90s, 00s, and late 2010s.

I went ahead and Googled my question, and as I remembered, yes, both the English and Japanese casts re-recorded their lines for Kai: "With much of the original Japanese cast recording damaged or lost, along with a new sound design, Kai has its dialogue re-recorded. Given two decades had passed since Dragon Ball Z first aired, this led to several prominent recasts, both in the Japanese and English-language dubs."

I forget, aside from the new OP and ED did Kai redo any of the animation as well or is it vintage DBZ footage stripped down to (mostly) just the manga related content?

It did have to redraw some bits where the original footage was damaged, I believe. The digital draw-overs are terrible, though. They also toned down blood even in the Japanese version. It's basically the only caveat of watching Kai over vanilla Z. If you can look past those (they're not all that frequent anyway,) then Kai is objectively better. Still watch the driving school episode, though. That's the best DBZ episode.

It’s kinda hosed that they toned down the blood but left in Cell sucking down a guy until he evaporated into nothing. Or Cell’s giant gaping tail-plunger that he eats the androids with. Or Imperfect Cell powering up only the aura was all the people he ate.

Next chapter is out in 3 days. Some of the storyboards have leaked and it looks pretty good. I know it's stupid, but I enjoy Granolah constantly finger gunning or bow shooting people as opposed to the open palms and cupped hands attacks the others use.

I don't know how common that type of ki/energy projectile is in most action or shonen stories, but it's a nice and badly needed variety for DB. The new character designs have been pretty stagnant for a long time so it's welcoming to have something distinct.

I like the finger-gun style as a kind of visual shorthand for villain/assassin. It was exciting for all of ten seconds when Goku started to do it to Cauli and Kale, seeming to play into him being a little villainous during the ToP.
