My first thought was “wait, 4Kids did dub the whole show?”, but no, the final batch of episodes uses a different (not good) English dub.

Did Someone actually dub the remainder of the series? If so who? And who's the cast list.

This is a weird situation, but from what I understand the remainder of the dub is an unauthorized production created by a fan. I don't know how it ended up on Tubi.
This thread provides some context.

Twitter thread in the prior post points this out, but it was added to YouTube Shows too, by the same guy: https://www.youtube.com/show/SCl56L5ZTW09OzEEIlbRav0Q?season=3&sbp=CgEzGhoSGFVDMHJVbkpodVJPWlgyMklaQUxrR3M0Zw

Of course, emphasis on "the same guy," because this seems to be nothing more than a strange, unvetted bootleg. He previously added the show for purchase on Amazon Prime Video, which got taken down pretty quickly. But at the time I recall he was listing Season 3 with terrible subtitles instead, the worse AI-powered dubbing is... relatively new.

It’s an AI dub? No wonder it sounded awful.

I actually tried reaching out to Toei Animation's US branch about this whole situation when it first popped up on Amazon Prime and got promptly ignored. I don't know if it would've been better to have tried reaching out to their phone line about the situation, but I figured shooting an email could've resulted in something happen. Instead, it still seems like it's still being a mess with very clearly bootleg masters for the later half and what is likely either a fandub or ai dub for the remainder episodes...

Honestly, let my man cook. Toei is never gonna do anything with Tai Chi Chasers.

Because I have met with the voice cast and talked with the companies.

I'm sure the actors were flattered when you met them at conventions and showed them your unsolicited AI duplications of their voices.

Oh, they weren't flattered. Veronica and Erica were impressed. One of them suggested I take film and computer classes.

That sounds like they're patronising you.

I don't know if this is an embarrassing thing to admit, but I was imagining a scenario in my head, "what would I do if a child, like 7 years old came up to me and showed me an ai picture, claiming he made it, with the implication that he wants compliments". I think the thing I would say is something like "you should try drawing sometime, you might enjoy art if you try".

Anyway, I think suggesting you take film classes is like me in the hypothetical scenario telling a child to try drawing.
