The Tree of Might's 5 English Dubs 

"I kept writing Turtles when I meant to write Turles" Clearly because when Turles gets shot UP the Tree of Might he gets alot of SPLINTERS on the way up. And you know how Turtles HATE Splinter!

I'm still not entirely convinced Phelous didn't make up that Tien voice. It's just too ridiculous!

I legitimately thought Tien's "We'll see about that, EAGH!" line was just Phelous taking the piss at first.

Sean Schemmel - *TAKE THIS TURLES!!! A GIFT, FROM THE EARRRRRRTH!!!* Ian James Corlett - TAKE THIS TURLES!!! A GIFT, FROM THE EARRRRRTH! Peter Kelamis - Turles, I’ll never forgive you. And now, eat this! David Gasman - Now you’ll answer for all the evil you’ve caused. HERE! Take thiiiiiiis! ??? - I can forgive uuuuuuuu. Turreees. Take thiiis…. Truly a grand representation of quality. P.S. The Speedy dub sounds like they were voiced by Tommy Wieasu

31:35 "I couldn't die knowing you're still alive". That's actually a pretty badass line. Side note: I used to call turles "turtle-es" as a kid.

"Saiya People" is an literal translation of the Japanese term for Saiyan, Saiya-jin. Speedy does this for every race too, so you get "Namek people" too.

"I couldn't die knowing you're still alive." Alright that was pretty badass. Maybe its cuz the dub comes off more as a parody so we don't expect it, but that serious line in the midst of this mess was pretty badass. Dare I say, it's better then the funimation dub for that one bit.

Ah yes, Turles, famous in DBZ due to every one of _his race_ becoming a giant gorilla.

Oh my God. Shenron's voice in the Speedy dub. I was not prepared.

Gohan: "Do you think we should be friends?" Trunks: "No. We should be enemies."

Are we sure Speedy isn't just the reincarnation of Dingo?

Why does it sound like the "Big Green" dub was made in the 1980s instead of the early 2000s?? 😂😂😂😂

"I am Turles!" "No you're not!" And from thereon the man formerly known as Turles went on a journey to find out who he truly was.

"I just wanna get outta here! I don't care about tha rest!" Classy as always Blooma.

We all know the real reason why Phelan likes this movie: Big Green Tur(t)les.

Turles being Goku from a different dimension. That would make him the one that destroyed Champa's earth.... that would make way too much sense.

Big Green Tein is one of the funniest things I've seen in this series in quite a long time. He really does sound like a Muppet.

Actually you're idea of what Turles being Kakarot from another timeline sounds infinitely more interesting than just another lower class saiyan Phelous. Right on dude

“Oh geez Goku is eating. It’s gonna be really hard to get his attention. *GOKU!!!!!*” “Huh?” Ok this dub wins for most accurate portrayal of character.

Why talk about the different versions? Simple, because its actually really fascinating to see the different interpitations of a scene through the character voices and lines. This is especially true when it comes to the different Gokus in comparison with each other.

You should hear Speedy dub Vegeta. He sounds like a chain smoker version of Speedy Gonzales

Okay, Scott McNeil's version of Piccolo confronting Turles is downright BADASS.

Is it really even a Shounen Anime, if someone isn't declaring their refusal to ever forgive someone?

Time for Phelous to send this English dub to another dimension.

Congratulations for the RU-vid award at the background

I couldn't die knowing you're still alive. Probably the best line from big greens dub

The "I won't forgive you" is a very common thing you have people say in Anime. I assume it sounds less weird in Japanese.

I look forward to Phelous getting to the return of Cooler dubs with Piccolo voiced by a deranged gremlin.

"Your majesty"? I know there is a "king" in king kai's name but still.

Big Green's Shenron had kind of a Mojo Jojo thing going there for a minute at 11:07 "Think carefully about your one wish, because whatever it is, I can only grant one wish."

Look I can see their parachutes, they're ok

Lost it anytime the big question mark appears when the Speedy clips are shown

"I'll never forgive you" is a pretty literal translation of the Japanese. I think it's supposed to evoke something closer to "unforgivable" but no one ever translates it that way.

5 English dubs? Man, the 'sub over dub' crowd must be fuming.

Apparently the voice cast of the Speedy DBZ dub consisted mostly of random video rental store employees that Speedy Productions got a hold of. Which I doubt most of them even knew a word of English.

We need more in-depth video editorials on media with multiple English versions. Thank you for delivering as usual, Phelous.

I love when Phelan mocks the voice acting. He’s got a talent to match the silliness. Amazing video!

I think it's sort of safe to say when DBZ was growing more in popularity here in the US, this movie was the quintessential 'starter' movie to watch for it. Ah, those early days. They were fun.

The Swedish dub goes above and beyond with Turles' name-confusion and instead refers to him as Raditz! I remember watching this movie and being so disappointed by that cause why would the animators change Raditz's hair for no reason?! I was glad to learn later that Turles is actually his own character.

I don't know why, but I can listen to you talk about Dragon Ball Z dubs for hours.

Big Green Tien sounds like someone trying to do a impression of Beavis.

That "Turles is an alternate universe Goku" concept is actually a neat idea. It'd be better than Goku Black, anyway.

Phelous + DBZ = a very happy Friday!!

I am glad I was able to see Wabuu wearing scouter within my lifetime

I actually vaguely recall there being a side-manga that said Turles and Raditz were BFFs as kids. Guess he just one day was just like "Wow dude, your dad is an average fighter but he's a BRILLIANT stylist!" and was never the same again.

All this stuff about how all lower-class Saiyans supposedly look like Goku is reminding me of the late-90s _Knuckles the Echidna_ comic.

25:37 He almost slipped into Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged Dartz. Almost

Crystal Cube Z is one of my favorite shows, along with Crystal Cube, Crystal Cube GT, Crystal Cube Z Kai and Crystal Cube Super.

Speedy Dub Roshi: [ senile old man gibberish ]

I had to rewatch Tenshinhan's lines several times because I couldnt believe it was the actual dub. It sounds exactly like Phelous doing a silly voice

Phelous, we need a definitive opinion: Rank every DBZ english dub

Over here in Sweden we were lucky enough to get some of the movies translated, doubly lucky because they apparently based their translations on the Big Green dubs. For Tree of Might and onwards, I think they did a pass on some of the character names because Piccolo was called Big Green previously and now he was just called Piccolo. They got a little overexcited and 'corrected' Turles' name to Raditz, though.

I can't hear Scott McNeil anymore without thinking of Bonesteel.

Shenron has reused some of Goku's parts, along with some other new parts, and has reconstructed another Goku and renamed him New Goku (Speedy Dub)

17:51 - “Ori-ginall-ee the one who is allowed to eat dis fruit is only Gah!” Yeah...Gah! My favorite DBZ character

I love it when Phelous sometimes when Goku talks, he uses King MAGOD's voice. 12:54 Woah! What's the big deal anyway? "It's not done!" 13:00 "Finished! Play another game. Okay?"

Yay!!!! more big green

Please, please never stop using "is that ok" The flame must be kept alive.

In the original Japanese, the Tree of Might is called 神精樹, Shinseiju, lit. "Divine Spiritual Tree" so the tree itself is divine in origin despite its use by a villain! Also when King Kai says God is only allowed to eat the fruit he is likely referring to those who hold the position of Kami/Guadian (based upon how he said it, the implication is that only those who take upon the position of Kami/God which at the time of the film was held by the Good Half of the Nameless Namekian known as Kami due to taking on the title by becoming Kami of Earth!) In XENOVERSE 2, Elder Kai expands upon the concept by claiming only gods like himself & Chronoa are permitted to consume the holy fruit thus including the Supreme Kais among the gods known to be allowed to consume the fruit (presumably in modern Dragon Ball it would also likely apply to Gods of Destruction like Beerus, Angels such as Whis, & possibly the Omni-King Zeno as they are literally the King of all the Gods & who could really say no to Zeno a being who can literally erase entire universes out of existence)!

oh my god Tien always makes me lose my shit in this and we're all with you :3

I've never seen someone needing to cough so bad they do it in their mind, we need more of that it was great

fun fact: AB was the group that bring us the whole Animes in the 80's french TV. They used to bought for a cheap price a lot of animes and cut the violence, because they destined them to the children show "le club Dorothee". Where you can have, for example episodes of Hokuto no Ken, but without the brutal deaths! I remember the City hunter series was non-sensical because they cut out all the violence and sex. You were unable to understand a 20 min episode which was broadcast reduced to only 12 min remained. Thanks to this butchered practices, AB now has a large empire of satellite televisions. Good job guys, well done.

OH GOD The auto-captions actually censored the Saban/Ocean dub at 8:30

Why do characters in the Big Green dub always talk about having a clear conscience?

I know you haven’t done any big green reviews in forever but I’d absolutely love to see more. There’s still SO much more memes you could uncover

"Anyway, a probe crashes and starts a fire" It's a boy!

Dingo Pictures: Dragon Ball Z must happen. Tienbbu : As a matter of fact, it’s soooo stupid.

If Big Green Piccolo can't help let that child alone, it's up to Big Green Tien! BG Tien: "Nnnyeeeehhhhhhhhhh!" And Gohan's dead. Oh well, at least BG Tien had a clear conscience.

The Speedy dub flat out sounds like it came right out of a Dingo Pictures cartoon.

Yooourr wiiish has beeen grantedGOODBYEFOREVER!!

Ahhh another enchanted ride into Dragonball Z! Phelous is my dungeon master! Guiding me into the good, bad and funny of this franchise. Thanks!

Yeah, a new Phelous!!! The tree looks like it came from Avatar's swamp episode

"...and you get to make a dub, and you get to make a dub! Everyone gets to make a dub!"

Five dubs and the line read that made laugh the hardest was Funimation’s. “Kaio-Ken... TIMES TWENTY!!!!”

I do love how Picolo acts more like a dad when Gohan is in trouble than his own dad Goku. Like, he goes straight to "Put him the fuck down, or I'm gonna tear off your arm and beat you to death with it!" levels of daddy bear

As a pro baseball MVP, Yamcha should be the wealthiest character in the main Dragon Ball cast (second to Bulma), so the part about him being in debt of 15 grand doesn't make sense if he most likely has millions.

I hope you do more dub comparisons in the future; These are so fun.

I feel like I'm having a stroke listening to all these different dubs

Classic Phelous videos like this make me feel so much better 😌

I was hoping you'd cover the other Big Green dubs, and here you covered all of the dubs for Tree of Might! Talk about going above and beyond.

"I'm SonGoku, a Super MyGOD!!!"

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa “turns into a super Sayian” aaaahhhhh Oh sorry i was on the toilet

Just what a DBZ film review by Phelous needs, Wabuu wearing a scouter!

you make fun of the Dragon explaining everything, but this was legitimately the first DBZ "episodes" i had ever seen

Goku with the Dingo dub made me laugh so hard I spit drink all over the place and had to clean up before I could continue.

"Turles" name is meant to be "Tullece", a play on "lettuce".

Finally! More of Big Green!

Krillin: Oh no! The forest is in a great big fireeeee

This was one of your best reviews yet!

I've been waiting for this review for a long time.

Ngl, I never watched the anime, but I really enjoy listening to Phelous talking about all these different "variations" ;>

The first time I saw this movie as a kid, was on Cartoon Network with the censored bush. I then rented it from Blockbuster, and I knew something was off. And no, it wasn't just the uncensored bush, but the dub as well. Basically, Cartoon Network had Gohan call the dragon Icarus, while the VHS didn't have Gohan call him that.

David Gasman is actually a relatively prolific voice actor within his own circle, and he does have quite a bit of vocal range. If you've ever played a Quantic Dream game, you've almost certainly heard him in a (slightly) less silly context. In Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, for example, he's two of the main characters, Tyler and Lucas, and Tyler is a black guy.

Turles: the original black goku

As one who is only used to the German Dub such comparissons are pretty neat. I personally always loved it when Icarus appeared. Like many of the Dragons and Monster designs by Toriyama this one had a way sweet design. Found Icarus always rather adorable but guess since the focus was mostly more on the action they simply stopped using him just like other of the characters.

A new Phelous Dragon Ball review? It's been too long.

The Japanese title for this film translates roughly to something like “The Ultimate Decisive Battle for Earth”. So, on the whole, Big Green’s title is the closest to the original title 😂. It being awkward is Big Green’s fault, but the generic title? Thats ALL on the Japanese titles lol

Nice to see cover more the big green era of Dragon Ball😁

Love when you do DBZ! Great video as always!

Very happy to see you covering more Dragon Ball material on the channel. I want the magic STICK!
