Haruto is Mokuba's son. Or Nozomi/Cure Dream is Rin/Cure Rouge's child. Speaking of Precure, Salada is Potpourri.

I'd imagine Junko but I think it will sound too forced, like how Masako Nozawa plays adult Goku.

The only reason, and a BS one, Masako Nozowa continued to play Goku after he grew up was for the sake of familiarity and the fact that it was a different time. Goku was not the only child character, anime or otherwise, to suffer from voice limbo in the 80's and early 90's.

But even in retrospect, it's a stupid decision to not give a grown up character an adult voice, unless you're doing a one-shot what if episode of a comedy series like The Simpsons.

I think they were just too lazy to recast. Hell, Trunks kept his Future voice even as a kid.

Nobody complains about Luffy and Krillin being voiced by a women, despite being grown up. Naruto suddenly having another voice just for a single movie does not sound right. It's anime, not real life. Japan can use this concept and it works. It's just the west who complains about such matters. Goku still having the same voice proves that he barely changed over the years. Somewhat funny that those complains are only about Goku, not Gohan.

And let's not forget Kenshin Himura, who was almost 30 when "Rurouni Kenshin" started.

That's because it's part of a larger symptom where every male relative of Goku, with one exception, is played by Nozawa no matter how ill-fitting. Seriously, Bardock?

How exciting!
I wonder if the film and manga series will both tell the same story or if the manga will take place before or after the film.

As I have said before, I think that unless he's a crossdresser, effeminate, gets turned into a girl or can have a convincing androgynous/boyish voice, a 13+ male shouldn't be voiced by a woman (dub or sub).

If I was to watch Punch Line, it would be to criticize the above as Marina Inoue is the lead guy and to tell a dub voice actor that I think that he would suit that character better than Inoue-san.

Sarada is also a female Japanese name that doesn't mean salad. One of the kanji readings for Sarada is something like "silk orchid."

For the most part we've decided to use Sarada because Viz Media used Sarada in the final chapter of the manga last November.

Viz Media also used Bolt, but the Japanese poster for the upcoming film says "Boruto." So we're going to use Boruto and Sarada unless something official changes.
