Sean Schemmel (Goku) Talks About Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods English Dub

Posted by Dawn Bryant
Tags: Dragon Ball, Information,

Sean Schemmel, the voice actor for Goku in FUNimation’s English dub of Dragon Ball Z, recently went on record to talk about the up-coming movie, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, which is scheduled to be released in Japanese theaters on March 30, 2013. Actually, he tweeted and said he has not yet heard anything about FUNimation dubbing the movie. He continues on to say that it doesn’t mean it won’t happen, it just means he hasn’t been contacted at this point in time.

As shown in the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods Trailer, 20th Century Fox is playing a role in the movie, so it’s possible there may be a new and different cast. We at Saiyan Island certainly hope that’s not the case as FUNimation, Mr. Schemmel, and the rest of the English dub cast have done a world class job. It would be tough to top them!

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is the 18th movie in the Dragon Ball anime series. It will take place between Dragon Ball manga chapters 517 and 518, in the 10 year timeskip after Goku defeats Buu, but before the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament. Akira Toriyama along with Toei Animation, Fox International Productions Japan, Shueisha, Fuji TV, Bandai, and Namco Bandai Games are all involved. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is set to release in Japanese theaters March 30, 2013. There is no word on a North American or European release date at this time.

    Ha.

  • Sawada Tsunayoshi

    God Dragonball Z w/o Sean Schemmel, Christopher Sabat, Eric Vale, and Sonny Strait it just seems so lifeless and empty.

    love you Gokuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

    Well this post is kinda useless if that’s all he said but we needed some news at least.

  • narutobleachop

    This is the only anime  that I enjoy the English dub! They better use FUNi’s cast, on behalf of all American fans I will say we love them!!!!

  • Boomer6574

    He also talks about dubbing the Buu Saga for Kai but…

  • Rayson

    Not including me, I’m more of a Naruto fan but i did watch dbz.

  • http://twitter.com/thesagebeast thesagebeast

    i prefer alot of anime in english

  • Boomer6574

    I watch all shows in English.

  • Pol

    Meh, I prefer the Japanese version anyway so it’s not a big deal. But Funi didn’t get to dub the 2008 special, so perhaps they might not get this?

  • Hagareno

    Anyone who’s heard the Kai dub knows that getting a better cast than the current is borderline impossible. I was blown away by the quality. 

  • NeoBahamut

    oh, it just won’t be the same without them! i mean, sure it’s great to have a new movie at all but to have it without Schemmel’s clumsy-at-times, hardcore-at-times Goku, Sabat’s pissed off and almost british Vegeta and all the rest it’ll suck! this isn’t like Naruto which we’ve only known in japanese…

  • devantwilliams

    I prefer anime in both english and japanese, not much of a choice though with Naruto Shippuden cuz the dub is nowhere near up to date.

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    So i’m not the only one who thought Vegeta sounded british!

  • http://twitter.com/KyuubiMinato Tetsuyama Minato

    How is this news?

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/ENRWH6PGHSJ274LYJOEMUZXHDM LiL JJ

    Well, how am I supposed to watch the movie without Funi? lol In my opinion, Dbz was one anime that was dubbed very well. I just could never really get into the Japanese voice acting. Anyway, I think this movie will be dubbed at some time or later. I heard that they’re supposed to be continuing Dbz Kai with the Buu saga, wonder who’s gonna do the new voices?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    As much as that would suck, I’m not willing to wait the minimum of 2 years before it is dubbed. Within nine months of it’s theatrical release in Japan (when the DVDs are usually released) we’ll get a subbed version. That’s the one I plan on watching.

  • Nigel Davis

    Even though I dislike the Japanese Dub for DragonBall, I would prefer that over an entirely new English cast. No one messes with DragonBall English Dub!

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    They’ve been voicing DBZ since i was little.

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    First time I saw DBZ I wasn’t too interested in it because I was Poke’mon fanatic at the time. But Poke’mon fell off after the first two shows and I started watching DBZ a lot more often.I’ve grown use to Funimation over the years.

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    But to be honest I don’t Funimation can talk about dubbing it right this second. After all Toriyama and Toei are still working on the movie.

  • Shogunreaper

    It will probably come out about a year after the japanese dvd release.

    Wasn’t a fan of the kai dub since so many actors got changed but i’ll probably watch this.

  • Boomer6574

    People have been asking about this being dubbed.

  • *Super~Sayian*

    Doubt it’ll change much, Sean plays Goku’s and hurcule’s voice I believe, while the guy who plays vegeta’s voice ( forgot his name ) plays like 10 important characters like piccolo. so unless he’s gone then it’s not going to change anything major. 

  • *Super~Sayian*

    I would agree if it was naruto, but in DBZ case I’ll rather wait 2+ years for dub 

  • *Super~Sayian*

    Mmm.. I enjoyed pokemon ,yugioh, digimon, YYH, inuyasha and naruto dub

  • OtherWorlded

    I am watching it regardless. Who here can say they are not glad to be getting another DBZ Movie? If you are not leave this page… Also, I am now curious onto what lead you to SI…

  • uchihalord1994

    JUST PLEASE LET HIM DO THE VOICE ACTING IN THE NEW MOVIE’S COMIN OUT XDDD

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Not worth anticipating a 90 minute movie for 2 years because I dislike the voice actors. I can look passed that and enjoy the film, since I’m watching it for the story continuation, action, and nostalgia more then the voices.

    People need to learn to look passed the voice acting (dub or subbed) and enjoy the media form itself. There would be a lot less bickering over Japanese vs. English if that were the case.

  • *Super~Sayian*

    If that was the case then dub wouldn’t had been a option. it would just be subbed with english text. since the plot is all that matters. once you realize that part of our nastalgia IS the voices then maybe you’ll get an idea why we prefer dub over sub. why only feel half satsified with just plot when you can get the full benefictal experience when it’s dubbed as well. that’s like having a cake and eating it.

  • MuffinVonCupcake1

    And you’re Master Roshi. You’re so old, you’ve never gotten a flashback to your younger days!

  • Idy Inyang

    How about Black Lagoon?

  • Twice_The_A

    Haven’t they already changed the dubbing enough as it is already!? I’m looking at you! DB Kai >_>

  • Fahd Al Zarooni

    The 1st time I found out about saiyanisland,  I was finding GBA roms for my GBA emulator on PC till I found this site was 1st used for downloading DBZ GBA roms and GBA emulators, thats how I 1st found out about saiyanisland.

  • Fahd Al Zarooni

    Me too XD

  • Fahd Al Zarooni

    It will be AWESOME if they dub this, but I would still watch the Japanese version, I don’t mind Goku’s voice in Japanese, I enjoy atching both English and Japanese version of DBZ, but I am litte more on the English side since I grew up watching DBZ English dub XD

  • narutonatsu

    kai voice acting isn’t bad. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    That’s your opinion. Don’t come at me because I didn’t come at you. I simply explained my reasoning. Not everyone cares that much about voice acting, and acting as if caring is an absolute is ignorant. It’s importance is relevant, not fact. 

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    I DON’T CARE WHAT THE HATERS SAY THESE GUYS MADE DRAGONBALL!!!!

  • *Super~Sayian*

    Hm based off your comment, I think I hit it right on the nail

  • Fahd Al Zarooni

    Me too, but I hope they do keep Goten’s and Kid Trunks, voice the same, I have a feeling they are going to change Fat Buu’s & Babadi’s voice.

  • Fahd Al Zarooni

    Kai voice not bad tbh XD

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Now you just make no sense. Be a d*** for no reason. I have no idea what your issue is, but if the truth hurts, so be it. I’m not unsulting you like you are me, I’m just giving you the facts because you seem to be so avid about voices over human beings being what “everyone” believes to be important. Well… take a look. I’m someone, so obviously it’s not everyone.

    I’m done with this conversation. 

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    The Kai actors are okay but they  can’t top Funi.

  • Fahd Al Zarooni

    They better not change the actors if they dub it.

  • Fahd Al Zarooni

    I know, its strange O_O

  • ShisuiUchiha88

    I will not watch this new DBZ Movie on jap dub because it sucks … Eng dub is far more better and i will wait for it even if i need to wait 3 years for that.

    Word! ;D

  • http://www.facebook.com/maaz.s.shaikh Maaz Shaikh

    The truth has been spoken! X’D

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    It doesn’t “suck” it’s just a different approach.  Funimation chose their English voice actors based on the character designs while Bird Studio and Akira Toriyama chose the Japanese voice actors based on the characters’ personalities which is why Goku, Gohan, and Krillin have child-like voices even though they are adults, because they are children at heart. Akira Toriyama chose to give a meaning to literally everything in the dragon ball universe and that is why I respect DBZ as a whole. Dubbed or not I really couldn’t care less, as long as I get to see Akira’s work it’s all good to me.

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    Actually Kai’s voices pretty much own Funi as well as the ocean dub. People think that just because they grew up with it, it’s automatically the best. The only changed voice in Kai that I prefer in the original Z has to be Perfect Cell and it’s not that big of a difference since both voice actors sound almost identical. 

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    Master Roshi did have a flashback about his younger days back in Dragonball at the start of the King Piccolo saga about him growing up with his mentor Master Mutaito and his rival Master Shen A.K.A. the Crane Hermit that trained both Tien and Chiatozu.

    goku sound like a kid in english e sound likea big kid

  • shatti

    I can honestly say that DBZ is one of very, very, VERY few animes that sounds better in the english dub instead of the japanese. :D

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    My man i didn’t even like the Ocean dub the first time i heard it ,reason was i didn’t know what the hell going on with their voices but i had no choice at the time cuz this was back when i was first getting into DBZ. Looking back though the only scene of their’s  i probably liked better than Funi’s was probably the “Over 9,000″ scene.

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    Well only Toriyama knew how old Frieza was. I mean after all he’s been alive longer than Vegeta who’s older than Goku.

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    Why can’t people understand this about the voice acting for other shows?

  • Jesse Blair

     Yeah i mean take power levels for example. Or how long it took namek to explode. SOOOOO much meaning

    I wont even watch it if not in english dub WITH the ORIGINAL voice actors

    they fkn better put the original voice actors

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/77NXOZDY4ZRFJ6DRNLBSRKMTMQ Josh Slack

    Sean Schemmel and Christopher Sabat as Goku and Vegeta and Piccolo is how they will always sound to me. I grew up with the English Dub and when I’m reading the manga or anything I always picture the English dub. Something about what Funimation does (especially Dragonball Z) just makes everything so memorable. I guess it’s because I watched it from such a young age until now. Unlike Naruto which I watch in both Japanese and English dub I really don’t care (however the Japanese is far superior with a lot of characters). And I’m pretty sure with DBZ Kai/GT on Nicktoons we’ll get an English Dubbed Battle of the Gods. It’s Fox, they’re money hungry anyway.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/SP3Z3EZZVVAYVKGVFSDSUO6O2Y Elias Silva

    i hope they put Sean Schemmel in this movie and Christopher Sabat those two made dragon ball z and dragon ball z kai so awesome so Fox better put them on that movie its going to be a disappointment if there not going to do the voices

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/77NXOZDY4ZRFJ6DRNLBSRKMTMQ Josh Slack

    What if Fox gets actual American actors to do the voice over work if we don’t get a Funimation dub? Like having Ben Affleck voicing Goku and Hugh Jackman as the voice of Vegeta?

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/VQNS44N5ZWINJCW33ZLGCTTZZY Buster

    Still no news…. At least we got some big Pokemon news today if that still counts.

    too tell you the truth i want the new pokemon game WAY more then storm

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    The powerlevels did have a big meaning in DBZ up to Frieza saga and after that Akira Toriyama didn’t have a reason to keep track of powerlevels since the Z-Fighters were so strong that their powerlevels didn’t even matter, it was just one person being stronger than the other. Also, Akira Toriyama had NOTHING to do with Toei Animation prolonging the explosion of Planet Namek, it was their decision not his(Planet Namek blew up a lot faster in the manga than the anime). 

  • mrecchiman

    I’m confused why some fans are freaking out that FOX will have anything to do with the dubbing at all. They’re a financial partner and distributor for the theatrical release (also a possible distributor for the theatrical release in North America too).

    Warner Brothers helped produce the Berserk movies and guess what? Nothing happened for the English release.

    VIZ Media licensed them for North America and did the dubbing (@ NYAV Post; same studio as the TV Series dub).

    Funimation is going to license Battle of Gods and dub it themselves too. Even if Sean Schemmel was currently dubbing it or was told in advance that Funimation is planning to dub it, he’s not going to publicly say so unless he was to get sued for breaking a non disclosure agreement.

    Some of you probably have no idea wtf I’m talking about but maybe someday if you’re interested to know how the industry actually works you’ll learn about these things.

  • Haoshoku_Haki

    yeah i’m the same, sure storm will be all good and well but holy wow new 3D pokemon i am so happy!

  • Haoshoku_Haki

    as if they will change voices, the current FUNimation cast will want to do it and Mike Macfarland will get it definitely, just like every bit of new FMA.

    However the japanese version is still much better to me, so i’m happy regardless

  • narutobleachop

    I think your right FUNi will end up dubbing it…in the end… BUT…If Sean was doing it right now then he would not have said anything or would have said he can’t talk about it at this time. He went on record to say he isn’t doing it which makes us all worry! Also we don’t know know what the terms of Fox’s contracts are. For all we know, they could own the rights to all DBZ movies in the US, giving them full control of who dubs.

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    Same here dude, other than Sean Schemmel as Goku, Kyle Hebert as Adult Gohan, Sonny Strait as Krillin, and Mike Macfarland as Master Roshi I prefer the Japanese version over the English dub

  • Boomer6574

    They both sound the same to me.

    Tough to top them? are you serious?
    Ocean dub’s cast (mainly vegeta and goku) are far more superior.

  • MCMatty

    @yahoo-LSVRKFTALEPPDHTBEX7U2Z7OFY:disqus  Just because you clam the ocean dub is “better” doesnt meant that it, is mabye for you it is. But i grew up with schemmel as my goku and anything else doesnt sound like goku to me. Its purely pchological. So whoever gets the job of the dubbing someone is going to be dissapointed

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    Ocean sucked. Their only good scene was the Over 9000. And just so we’re clear regularly don’t believe in tellin’ VA’s how to do their jobs.

  • djh1991

    I grew up with Dragon Ball Z too. Back around 1997 and 1998 when I was at the age of 6 yrs. old. That was the time when I started to watch anime on television at that time. I think I remember watching DBZ was on the Namek saga where Bulma, Krillin, and Kid Gohan went to Planet Namek. For some reason I still remember they used the Ocean Group Dub, but it was held by Funination Productions Ltd/Entertainment in the late 1990s when they used the “Rock the Dragon” theme song for the intro. But I still cannot wait for this brand new DBZ movie (Battle of the Gods) to come out.

    If they use a different cast to dub this movie, then they are complete idiots! Character voices are a HUGE deal, and they aren’t the same with different voices. I couldn’t even stand to watch KAI because of Gohan’s voice.
    I will be EXTREMELY disappointed if they don’t use the FUNimation cast.

  • http://www.facebook.com/ShMikeX Mike Robbins

    Funi needs to make a deal with Fox. Funi keeps the core Z cast. Fox gets to cast the movie only characters.

  • Takashi

    I really REALLY Hope they use all original English Vocal Actors for the new movie, I hated Kai, and well…GT Had the original voice actors as well which had that going for it in a positive lights ( I am well aware almost every fan hated GT as to what it was [Including myself] ) I would very much enjoy hearing Sean Schemmel as Goku/ King Kai, Chris Sabat as Piccolo and Vegeta, and as the voice Shenron/Shenlong, of course. =) Especially Stephanie as Gohan(If they do a flashback) versus the new girl( Whom I hate) and THE ORIGINAL ANDROID 18 Gosh Darnit, the new voice of her made me mad as well. All in all Akira Toriyama is very gifted and waay ahead of his time with Dragon Ball (Z), and should keep it well within the Original Funimation dubs as far as actors. That will make me a happy camper and hopefully will make everyone reading this comment happy too. =) As long as Toriyama is on board I know it will be something great!

    I sure hope it releases in English Dub, and comes out in cinema in both usa and uk, cause i live in uk and it would be a complete shame if it didnt get the cinema treatment here.

    I was informed of this three months ago. A little late to the punch…

  • Andrew

    And this is why I hate living in tis country… Cause the average American thinks animation is childish and leaves this stuff below average on the desirable scale. God we Americans suck. …

    Sean Schemmel HAS TO BE THE VOICE OF Goku!!!!!!!! Has to. It just wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t him doing Goku. I will not be able to watch it if he is not the voice of Goku………. I really want to see this movie.. I mean i grew up on DBZ seen every episode from DB, DBZ, DB GT, KIA, to all the movies.

    I wish they would make a movie with real people of DBZ………. and find people who look just like a real version of each character. GAWD I need this. hell THE WORLD NEEDS THIS!!!!!!

    Funimation better be the ones to dub it because there is no better Goku then Schemmel! He IS Goku!

  • James Pettiford

    I agree. I also like the english dub of Black Lagoon better than the japanese version.

  • James Pettiford

    Lol that’s what I said too. The Japanese Revy is too… laid back for her personality.

  • James Pettiford

    I disagree. I wouldn’t call it childish, more high pitched and honestly quite annoying. The Funimation voices fit their personalities really well so I’m not too sure what you’re talking about. Funimation Goku has what I would call a child like voice. He sounds like he went through puberty yet it’s just something in his voice that is very child-like and light-hearted. Krillin’s voice is very child-like as well. I don’t know, I just don’t think the original voices fit the characters as well as Funimations. Just my opinion.

    If Sean isn’t goku, and the rest of the cast doesn’t play their characters, I wont watch the movie. Simple as that. No point. They made it what it was today. Without them, its not DBZ

  • damian

    I’d rather watch dbz in japanese than with a different voice cast in english dub.

    If Sean Schemmel isn’t Goku, i’m not watching it.

  • william

    All funimation cast must return to do voices for sbz battle of the Gods or they’ll be surprised to not make as much money as they should..

  • http://www.facebook.com/jesse.verge Jesse Verge

    I’d love to see this dubbed by funimation, Sean Schemmel worked his butt off for this character and should rightfully be casted as Goku again. I do however like the original funimation actors more than the new Kai voices they added, but I think that’s because I hear those voices most often

  • Furhan Ashraf

    Definitely.

  • Az

    hmm, not to that extent if its not by him.. i’d rather be watching it subtitled :)
