Hiromi Tsuru passed away today. She was 57 years old, and aside from Bulma was also the voice of Bra/Bulla in Dragon Ball, Ukyo in Ranma 1/2, Naomi Hunter in MGS, and many other roles.

Sad news, especially at a time when Dragon Ball is pretty big again. I wonder what happens with the show now?

She gets replaced. The show must go on

They've replaced Roshi's, Mr. Satan\Ox King, and Tien's voice actors already

She's certainly the biggest yet...

But Masako is the only one who could die who could MAYBE cause something to happen with the show.

That said.

RIP. You were a large part of my life and will be missed

Even if Goku's voice actress died they would replace her. Dragon Ball is way too huge to just quit airing out of nowhere. It would be a very sad day, but they aren't just going to quit the money train that is the Dragon Ball series

You're wrong possibly. There have been quite a few people (Geekdom, Anime Ajay, Masako X, Kaiser, etc) that have said there is a high chance when Masako dies that it's done. That Goku is 100% her and Toei wouldn't replace her. Now I hope that's wrong, but quite a few people who know voice acting stuff in Japan have said that can easily be it.

They would still have to make an ending somehow. If she just died before a huge Goku fight finished they're not going to leave fans never seeing the rest of the fight. I mean she is super iconic, but at the end of the day it's all business and Dragon Ball prints money. Unless they had rights to reuse her voice after death it would mean the death of all DB games, movies, tv series, etc if they never replaced her and TONS of money they'd miss out on

Nobody is irreplaceable in the seiyuu world. They'll find someone else even if Nozawa bites it. There's too much talent and not enough roles. Plus there are tons and tons of female seiyuu in their 40s/50s that could fill roles for old female characters.

also RIP

According to comicbook.com, she was found in her car, but no sign of accident or anything. She also has her seat belt fastened. Could be dead due to illness.

RIP VA for Bulma and Ukyo from Ranma 1/2

I wonder if that means she realized something was wrong and managed to pull over before passing out.

The report I saw also said she had hazard lights on, so it sounds like it, yeah.

The car stuff scared me at first and made me think suicide, but it would've been worded differently if it was that. Man she's been around DB basically as long as Goku even if she didn't always stay relevant. I'm still surprised she was only 57 since DB is what like 30 years old at least if not older. She was part of this series for more than half her life :(

It wasn't til a few days later that they found out Daisuke Gori killed himself, so my mind went to suicide as well

but seeing as she was pulled over with the belt on, something probably happened to her

Hopefully she didn't suffer too much

Cause of death reported as aortic Dissection, so it seems to be confirmed as sickness related

Seems the public had no idea whatsoever that she was sick too. I mean usually you'd probably hear about that sort of thing and I don't recall ever seeing or hearing anything about her being hospitalized or treated for sickness
