I think they wanted to retain his childlike innocence or whatever so they kept the same voice he had as kid Goku.

Turning him into kid goku and having everyone else take the back seat the whole time and no adult gotenks ruined GT for me. Was glad with what they dis with vegeta though. Minus getting ss4 from bulma, should have been earned.

Imagine if Patrick Warburton was the English voice actor for Bulma.

Thats basically the equivalent of what they did with the Japanese dub.

Japanese DBZ is unwatchable because of Goku's voice, along with his kids.

Nah you get used to it. At one point her voice even got better for me. Especially for Goku Black, she blew it out the water with his voice. Also her Ultra instinct voice was pretty cool.

You know it's still a type of dubbing. Like...they don't do what western animation does. They do the animations and the Japanese seiyu voice over the animations.

So, it is a dub.

I thought it was just because his voice actress was really popular with fans by that point so they wanted to continue with her.

Goku has a shit Japanese voice, and her voicing for Gohan, Goten, and Bardock are trash too. Their decision to voice them all with one person is also trash.

Her Rose voice is fine, though. I like that one.

And I also think Vegeta and Broly have good VAs. Piccolo is trash tho.

Funi Dub shits on all of them.

But you know what's the best Dub?

Yes, of course. Remember that time Goku went Kaioken x 10 as a SSGSS? Remember how when Masako did it, it sounded like every other power up, but when Sean did it, you could hear the actual strain on his voice(as a painful transformation would cause)?

That's the difference in skill between them. Sean can use God damn screams to convey emotion while Masako has settled into the role and just recycles the same shit every time.

There is no emotion in anything he does. A slice of stale moldy bread conveys more emotion than him.

Grammy Goku is alright at times.. Like simple dialogue is cool and all, but she doesn't get me riled up in battle like Schemmel does.

Yeah, it's awful and it would be weird if dub Goku kept his kid voice as well. I felt his dub VA did fine with showing how Goku still has a childlike nature as well.

And Rock The Dragon is awesome. Stay mad weebs.

Its more about the feeling of being weird and childish. Japanese people really like the feeling of thing, but skip over the common sense or logical part.
