Yeah, I actually watched the Japanese version (which actually has 5 episodes less than what we're getting) a while ago and am aware, hence the use of the word "reduced" compared to the Mach 10 speed the original Kai ran at. Gonna miss those 4 ending themes in the Japanese version the most, though. I'm not really a fan of Don't Give Up, the ending, though Fight it Out, the opening we'll get, is pretty catchy. |

As much as I prefer DBZ Kai over Z (provided that I watch it with Bruce Faulconer's music), I like Vegito's arc in the original way more since we saw so much more of him, even if most of it was filler, but he was just so cool that I didn't care. That being said, it's about time DBZ Kai got dubbed. For a while I thought they were going to jump straight into Super without dubbing the Buu saga.
Just Saiyan. |

I guess Kid Trunks is not listed because they want to protect Laura Bailey's status as she has become too big and mainstream?Dameon Clarke used to be credited under a fake name until recently but he doesn't seem to care anymore

Dameon Clarke would only have a cameo and its possibly going to be archived audio, since the Pikkon arc is skipped and Cell's only appearance is a recap of the original kai series.
This also appears to have been recorded earlier because Colleen is voicing 18 instead of Meredith, even though Meredith is reprising her role in Super. |

Saiyan-Cell (Episodes 1-98): -A good amount of filler was cut (for better or worse). -Had a decent remaster done by Q-Tec (who is infamous for bad Blu-ray upscales in Japan) with a few awkward redrawn scenes here and there. -Was aired & released here in 4:3 (Japan aired and released the DVDs in 16:9 and only their BDs were in 4:3 which is what FUNi had used). -Uses the DBZ music score thanks to the previous composer getting exposed as a plagiarist (years in the making). -A good English dub. Majin Buu (Episodes 99-167 (International)/99-159 (Japan)) -A lot of filler was kept (more was cut in the Japanese version but wasn't handled very well). -Had a very poor remaster done in-house by Toei (the video has a green tint which is noticeable when compared with Z footage). -Was aired and released in Japan in 16:9 (all international airings also had it in 16:9 as well as the French BDs from Kaze). -Has music produced by Norihito Sumitomo who also worked on the recent movies & Super. -Can't speak for the dub yet obviously but it should be good. |

There's a filler left in at one of the final episodes where all the dead villains in the entire story are watching Goku fight Kid Buu from hell. Cell has several lines there. Last edited by Hazinger Zeta on Wed Dec 07, 2016 7:08 pm; edited 1 time in total |

So a third of Toonami's already short airing block is purely DragonBall? *sigh* Well in fairness they could use the ratings and viewership so I won't complain. Thankfully I still got Gundum, Hunter x Hunter, and Jojo to look forward too. I want to see Toonami to do very well so hopefully they get great results form airing both DragonBall series. (Honestly I'd love for the original DB show the come. Not that it's possible but it would be amazing if the did).

I was just about to go on the other article and start PMSing about Funi releasing Super and ignoring/skipping Kai. Good thing I didn't.
That all being said, apparently they barely removed any filler....that is disheartening. Just like the cell saga all over again. What's the point if they're just gonna keep all that crap? |

Laura Bailey is listed as the voice for Kid Trunks on Funimations website. http://www.funimation.com/blog/2016/12/06/dragon-ball-z-kai-the-final-chapters-heading-to-toonami/ |

I believe that the problem with the different voice actors between Buu Saga and Super, is that Buu Saga was dubbed a while ago, while Super is more recent. Thus, you get Laura Bailey voicing Kid Trunks in Buu Saga, while Alexis Tipton voices the same character in Super. Same thing with Android 18.

^Yup, this dub actually goes back to 2013 and most of the main cast had "leaked" about having worked on it from back then to very recently.

Yeah, I remember seeing on Reddit someone mentioned Sean Schemmel said in an interview that he'd just finished recording his lines for the Buu Saga. I kinda figured they'd wait till the original finished it's run on Toonami, but never expected a Dragon Ball Power Hour. Hell, if Gundam and JoJo switched places, we'd have a Viz Triple Threat right now (not including the re-run of One Punch Man that is). They're gonna have to do something about the block being dominated by long runners and Funimation/Viz shows. I'd say a block extension is the only solution that wouldn't piss anyone off. I feel like that's why they're premiering it at 8PM, to test the waters a bit. |

Which makes me wonder if maybe Funimation has been waiting to get permission to go forward with this part of Kai, even though it was already recorded. Bailey was in the recent movies and games, but isn't coming back for Super, which is more or less a simuldub. It certainly wouldn't be the first time where they had a title that people kept asking about, and they had to keep silent on it. |
