Because there is zero direction given to the VAs on Xenoverse. For the original release of Black he was just told 'do an evil Goku'. For the Rosé version he had a better idea of what the character was about.


Don't take the Xenoverse voices as too much of an indication of what characters will be dubbed like.

e;fb

he wasn't even told that the voice he was doing for Rosé was supposed to be the same character as Goku Black lmao. Nothing in Xenoverse should be taken as an indication for how Funimation will actually handle stuff, not even close

Accents and mannerisms are a mental thing, not a physical thing. zamasu in gokus body would still act and speak like zamasu, just with Goku's body and voice

Black Goku in English is still voiced by Sean Schemmel. It's the same person's voice just acting in a distinctly non-Goku manner, which is how Nozawa handled it. It's just very rough because, again, Bamco gave the voice actors literally no direction or context for their lines

If she's not gay, she's kinda manipulative. She at least seems to be keenly aware of Kale's feelings with how she talked her down the first time. I reckon that is also why I think she intentionally snubbed her while fighting with Goku.

nah she was just having a saiyan moment, nobody interrupts a saiyan when they're fighting a strong person. not their gay girlfriend, not their son, not anyone

its bad because this thread is obsessed with reddit or wherever else reads about draongball super. i dont read those places ever so i find it tedious to hear about how "the dbz fandom" does this or that or whatever nonstop. we can just enjoy the show the way we like, without being angry and making fun of the way other people like or dont like it. thanks and goodnight.

I think you're on the wrong website if you can't tolerate people making fun of bad internet communities.

my interpretation was that caulifla was already mentally prepared to become a super saiyan, she just needed to actually try and focus her energy or something

He's a space alien with a tail who turns into a gorilla when the moon is out. Arguing that the dude's vocal chords have to work a certain way is a lost cause,

I mean I've never seen an space alien who turns into a monkey on the full moon before so i dont really know how that would work if one existed, so sure I could believe whatever dragon ball tells me about that
but I sure as hell know how my own vocal chords work and it's not like that!

Episode 21:
Frieza: "The Galactic Patrol and one Namekian, eh?"
Frieza: "A Galactic Patrolman and a ragtag group of misfits, at least there is variety!"

Frieza: "Oh, I remember you... I killed you before."
Frieza: "Ohlookthelittlebaldone I distinctly remember killingyouonNamek thatwasagreatdealoffun" (has to ramble to match lips)

Frieza: "So, you've been revived by the dragon balls, too. Well no matter how many times you return, I'll kill you each and every time."
Frieza: "It seems the dragon balls can ressurrect the powerful and the pathetic, well I don't care how many times you come back, it only affords me the opportunity to end your life in ever more brutal and creative ways."

Like it's the same thing, but ... unnecessary. Is it more characterization? Maybe? When you combine it all together Friezaistalkinginonelongrun-onsentencehahahawhenisgokugettingherethesemonkeys let's jam as much of "effeminate fancypants ruler"(I guess because of his colored lips) into his dialogue as possible. If you like the second quotes in this example it's FINE, but it doesn't sound very good to my ears.

what you're seeing here is this strange phenomena called good writing that has style instead of a stiff direct translation of a language that doesn't have any of the same conventions as English


EDIT: To put it less sarcastically, yes the lines are different because they HAVE to be. You can't keep them the exact same because Japanese does not directly translate to English. If you kept the lines the "same" they would still be different from how they were supposed to come across in the Japanese version. The best thing to do is to capture the spirit of the original in a way that comes across well in English, which is what Funimation does.

I can't ever imagine you'd watch the original DBS dub and think Vegeta would ever say "babe". Talk about about a fundamental misunderstanding of the character.

*sub note: fundamental means you done goofed son*

DBS is full of Vegeta doing stuff that Vegeta "would never do"
