w/e financial reasons Toei may have for giving the slot up, I wonder if Hiromi Tsuru's death caused some issues, as well. She was one of the younger OG cast members, but a lot of the VA are ancient and I can imagine starting to worry about what happens if Nozawa were to pass while the show was running. Like what do you even do there? Switching to a new Goku/Gohan/Goten immediately would be loving bizarre. It would have been bizarre with Bulma, too, but the timing worked out in some morbid stroke of luck where they had a long-rear end stretch of episodes she wasn't going to be in anyway.

also idk maybe Toriyama's bored and they have no outlines left.

Yeah, I didn't want to say it, but I think Tsuru's death spooked them.

Oh, I didn't mean giving it up to a non Toei show just DBS giving up the slot to bring in something else to give them more $$$$, isn't it a super big anniversary for Kitaro? I'd imagine it's a big deal. I worded it badly!

replace "dies" with "retires" and "super deep" with "not a screaming grandma" and this would be ideal yes

Black was so perfect.

I don't mind her Gohan, but it's been really samey compared to Goku for most of Super. Been a while since I watched Z in Japanese but I remember them being more distinct idk.

Skeleton Mom

Goten and Black sound distinct enough, and Bardock is fine because he'll never interact with any other Goku-types, but if I were running the show there'd definitely be a different VA for Gohan.

Kitaro was undoubtedly in production before Tsuru died. This has to have been the plan for a while.

Also Masako Nozawa also voices a character in Gegege no Kitaro, so I doubt this has anything to do with voice actors.

It seems like Britney Spears has been posting a buttload of art on Instagram from her son who is a ginormous DBZ fan, like holy cow you don't even know man.

She's all 'oh look at the thing my son made!' and it's a five year old's rendition of a mastered Ultra Instinct Goku of all thing, that tyke keeps up with the rest of us goombas, warms this cold dead heart of mine :gbsmith:

I've recently watched the Bardock special in Japanese and it did feel out of place there.

e: out of curiosity, was the Bardock special originally aired before or after the Frieza saga? Cause man is it a great set up for how monstrously strong Frieza was.

No, Raditz is the one male member of Goku's family that gets another VA, making it even more clear how little he matters.

I never really questioned Nozawa's take on Goku. I admit it was weird hearing his Japanese voice for the first time, but I just rolled with it, and after a while he just sounded a rowdy guy with a high register to me.

Black August

I'm pretty fond of Nozawa, but my mutant Dragon Ball exposure growing up meant I got a little bit of everything, so she doesn't seem weird to me

I actually REALLY like her when she's voicing an especially exhausted Goku, and Black was probably the most fun she'll be allowed to have with the guy

I admit, it was really disappointing getting to Dukemon in Cyber Sleuth and hearing Dukemon's clearly male voice. And especially, the lack of "Kono Dukemon!" as first person pronoun.

To be fair, at least there that is literally not the same character.

But Omegamon has the same two Adventure voices. Hell, Cyber Sleuth has a bunch of Adventure references. I expected at least similar love for Tamers, but no.
