@@TimelessKiddhe did, tho seeing that other celebritys like him have done much worse, and the fact he didn’t actually say it to insult someone. I don’t care about it. The only problem I have with Sean is his ego. I mean bro really said to masako “Your not goku, IM goku!” Tho besides that nothing bothers me about him. I guess he does get angry as cons and stuff but you have to remember cons for RU-vidrs or cerlebritys are really stressful and tiring.
The GOAT herself, is kinda insane to think she voiced Goku from kid to grown up and so with Gohan and Goten, in pretty much all other countries as far I know, Adult Goku and Kid Goku are always play by different actors, but she played all by herself, indeed this woman is a legend.
France tried doing the same thing with their Kid Goku voice actress, Brigitte Lecordier. She voiced adult Goku in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai but when Raditz showed up, they switched to a male voice actor.
Masako Nozawa also voiced Bardock, Future Gohan, Goku Jr from Dragon Ball GT, Goku Black and Xeno Goku from Super Dragon Ball Heroes She voiced so many character especially on Super Dragon Ball Heroes
I agree despite Toriyama''s death at age 68 she's like 85+ years old so as soon as she dies Dragon ball may END in Japan BUT for the USA dubs of Dragon ball Z/super the current actor isn't even in HIS mid 50's.
@@veghesther3204 japan has proven again and again that they dont care about US community or atleast prioritizes japan not just in dragon ball but anime in general. So when japan stop caring about dragon ball they will stop dragon ball
Always watched Dragon Ball in Japanese so she is associated with Goku for me. Her performance with Goku is great and it has defined the character for many
Masako Nozawa is the Japanese June Foray, if you don’t know who June Foray is she was the original voice actor of Granny from the looney tunes she voiced this character for so many years until her passing that’s why both Masako and June are both similar.
"Take care of Goku" Damn, that's the first time in my life I've ever heard, and now read and typed that sequence of words. It's so bittersweet and powerful, and strange and funny.
i don't know her name , and knew about her last year , but I'M SO GRATEFUL, SHE'S A PILLAR IN THE ANIME INDUSTRY THAT NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION, I can't imagine watching dragonball without her voice .
I grew up watching Naruto. Junko Takeuchi's voice never ages. I consider Masako Nozawa voicing Goku as a testament on her great voicing talent. Easily my two greatest long-running main characters that were voiced by professional voice acting ladies that still got it within them as they age over time.
For me she is Goku not Sean. Sean might've had his nice performances, but his character is a superhero type Goku. Masako Nozawa with her distinct voice for a male character makes Son Goku to sound and appear like a real alien, or weird person, which was part of his character even before the revelation of his alien origins.
I'm worried she doesn't have a successor. I was so sad when Tsuru Hiromi passed and that was in 2017. Many others have passed too since, a lot of whom are younger than Nozawa herself.
I think most comments are very positive. Some of the bad reactions probably come from the voices being significantly different, newer English dubs usually take more efforts to retain the feel of the original, but the DB dub is different (especially earlier in the series). An example would be that the eng and jp dubs for Naruto (the character) have a much more similar vocal tone and range, so people don't feel like they're being presented a fundamentally different character to the original.
I just bought the entire DBZ Blu Ray collection for 300 euro. With the Original japanese score/Funimation Dub and English dub with japanese score. In a very good format, no wide screen but remastered very well. I'm watching it in Japanese right no, for the 1st time... It's so different😮 I grew up with the faclouner dub but the japanese score is superior. When trunks cuts frieza in half, that music... It's super!
I figure they sometimes choose women to voice male characters when the audience is mostly young kids, so a character sounding like them is more relatable than if he sounded like an adult man.
I'm not really crazy about celebrities and "influencers" but for her and some other seiyuus, it's different. I really want to meet her, but it's sounds impossible!
2:59 she looks like the guy that played Light yagami in death note live action And another thing you missed her being the voice of goku black Her voice for goku black was peak
The moment Toriyama says she sounds like "Goku" , is already an indicator of a goat she'll become. I do like EN dub Goku but every time in Super whenever Goku goes goofy it irritates me not because of Sean but the sound is very indicative that isn't what Toriyama did but Masako managed to still make it like this is something Goku would say despite the author not being Toriyama. It makes sense now , "Take care of Goku" holds
Indeed, she has not been able to hide her age-related decline over the past few years. But her performance at the time of the Z broadcast was truly god like..
now I understand why I'm (and a lot of people) so interested in Gura's voice, she has very an usual accent on her debut day, it's not the typical american, in fact I wasn't even sure if Gura is from America. Her voice (dialect) is just very intriguing. I'm guessing she was trying to hide her identity. Bottom line if you want to attract people I guess try to speak with particular dialect / accent.
She is Goku. My ears are hurting if im forced to watch or play anything from DBZ in the Englisch Version. The German version is fine but we never get the games dubbed
I grew up with the portuguese dub, where goku is voiced by a man from DB to Super, so in anime even if it takes years I'll wait for the portuguese Dub, but on videogames where that isn't an option I have to changed the voices to english, the japanese dub just doesn't sound right for what I'm used to
how many ppl here know she was Manerva(probably saying it wrong but whatever)the Witch from 5 Lion??? I had a great time hearing her voice in that classic show.... also she has been chicks in short series before but she just happened to be the va for one of Japans longest running shows so I wouldn't take anything she says serious... and besides she purposefully wears her hair like Ronald McDonald so yeah....
to be fair, goku married chichi which is the daughter of the ox-king, so chichi is then a princess, and goku married in, therefore he should be a prince. Extremely close, but wrong gender I'm afraid.
