He sounds like a little kid in a grown man's body.

Maybe it was intentional because of the original Dragon Ball and he's still called Son Goku, but I still don't like it.

He's voiced by an 80 year old woman. Plus he's always acted like some sort of high functioning r-word so that just compounds it.

Yup. Someone was trying to tell me the fight between Goku and Gohan in Super was awesome, but that shit sounded so bad. I legit had to turn down my volume, it was driving me insane.

I would have watched all of Super if it had been dubbed with the Toonami voices. But it really grates on me whenever I try so I haven't even watched a single episode longer than ten minutes.

Son Goku

He's not called Son Goku because of his age or status, it's just the English romanization of the Japanese translation of the Chinese Sun Wu Kong. Dragon Ball started off inspired by Journey to the West.

Okay. I knew the Journey to the West part, but didn't know Sun Wu Kong.

He literally had the same voice actor since the 1980s in Japanese. Talk about consistency.

Like it or not, this is Goku's real voice. If they find Goku's body once and they do an autopsy, he'll have that old lady's vocal chords.

I didn't like it when I first heard it, but after awhile it grew on me. Now I think it's just as good as the dub voice, in it's own unique way of course.

This is pretty much my feeling on all Japanese un-dubbed anime characters. Then again, anime dialogue doesn't fare much better in English.

All the Japanese voices are terrible except for Vegeta.

And by that I mean I blame DBZ Japanese Vegeta for why all bishounen JRPG antagonists sound the same.

Uh, it was stated that in DB pt. 2 of the manga but it was retconned to 80 in Super. You guys can hate her voice all you want it is still recognizable than Sean outside of the west. She does an excellent job and Son Goku isn't supposed to sound heroic and what not. I think MasakoX is way better than Sean.

I mean, I don't think Sean sounds particularly heroic really either. But he sounds like an actual adult - goofy at times and serious when it comes to fighting. Just not like a screeching nightmare banshee.

english dub Goku does indeed sound like a hero
like a grown adult

and that is not accurate voice for Goku

I also didn't like the jap voice for Goku having grown up watching DBZ in english

but after seeing how Goku acts, his english voice wouldn't fit him in super actually

when they dub super and I watch in english it will probably not work

Now I like many Japanese voices when watching subtitled anime, sometimes they sound better than the english dub. But DBZ Goku is not one of them. An 80 year old woman doing Goku's voice is fine for when he's kid, but its a terrible miscasting for when he's a grown adult.

I guess it'd depend on if she chose to keep her maiden name. Goku probably wouldn't care or even know about that kind of convention.

He calls Bulma's dad "Dr. Briefs" in the English dub that bothers me. Goku is an uneducated, country bumpkin and what not he sounds that he has proper etiquette. I do not like that and Nozawa does a great job of not sounding like that. This is why she is the best at it and I love her. She does a excellent, 10/10, 5 mics, 100/100 and what not Son Goku. Schemmel is still great and MasakoX but she is better. I'm not hung up on my American culture, Toriyama went with that Voice for a reason. Also, To the guys who says all of the Japanese voices are garbage. I doubt you guys watch all of DB including Z, GT and movies in Japanese.

Sounds more like an issue with the dub writing really, which is a fair criticism mind!

I'm not sure what you are trying to argue.

Why would someone need watch untold hours of a voice they dislike, to be able to say they dislike it?
