*** In the Funimation dub, Creator/ChristopherSabat plays Vegeta, Piccolo, ''and'' Yamcha. While the latter doesn't have too much screentime, it doesn't change the fact that Sabat is talking to himself a majority of the time, especially through most of the Saiyan arrival scenes in the redub. Sabat also voices several other characters over the course of the series, including (but not limited to) Shenron, General Silver, Kami, Nappa, Mr. Popo, Korin, Jeice, Burter, Recoome, and Zarbon. Sabat says he was used so much since he was on Funimation's payroll as director, which meant they could use him for as many roles as possible without paying him more.
*** Kara Edwards was Goten and Videl at the same time, as well as Upa in ''Dragon Ball''.
*** Creator/MikeMcFarland voiced Roshi, Android 8, Yajirobe, Lord Lucifer, Mez, Pui-Pui, Baby Vegeta, and many others.
*** Puar and Chiaotzu usually have the same voice actress in English. In the Ocean dubs, Creator/CathyWeseluck voiced both. In Funimation's dubs, Monika Antonelli had both roles before Creator/BrinaPalencia took over both around 2007. Even in the AB Groupe movie dubs, they were both usually voiced by Jodi Forrest. Aside from having high-pitched voices, the characters aren't related.
*** Meredith [=McCoy=] voiced both Launch and Android 18.

*** Creator/ChuckHuber was Pilaf, Garlic Jr, Android 17, and Kibito.
*** Creator/KentWilliams was Mercenary Tao, Dr. Gero, Supreme Kai, Kibito Kai, and Old Kai.
*** Creator/JustinCook was Raditz, Adult Dende, and Super Buu.
** In the Latin American Spanish dub this is generally subverted, as multiple characters given to the same actor tend to not interact with one another, though straight examples aren't unheard of:
*** Creator/LauraTorres plays both child!Goku, child!Gohan and child!Goten.
*** Creator/MarioCastaneda, who voices teenage and adult!Goku, voices Bardock, Tullece, Colonel Silver, Young!Muten Roshi and Pamput. This is one of the cases in which it's played straight, as adult Goku obviously talked with Tullece in the 3rd movie, and he had a mind conversation with Bardock in a filler scene during the battle against Frieza.
*** Creator/CarlosSegundo is known as the voice of Piccolo Daimaku and Piccolo Jr., but also Mr. Popo, Kami, Master Tsuru, the Mummy, Anton the Great, Gora, and Hyoga Shaolong.

*** Creator/PatriciaAcevedo voices Chi-Chi and Chiaotzu. This is the one case where it was completely averted, as the two characters never interacted.

** The Funimation English dub almost featured Ceyli Delgadillo as Kid Goku, who had previously recorded the role in ''Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle'', ''Mystical Adventure'', and a couple brief flashbacks in ''Dragon Ball Z'', but an official poll on Funimation's DB website pitted her against Nadolny, then the voice of Gohan in DBZ, and the latter won out.

* TheOtherDarrin: Japanese Original
** Creator/JojiYanami briefly filled in as Kamesen'nin in place of Kōhei Miyauchi in episode 137 due to the latter not being available to record it. When Miyauchi passed in 1995, it fell to Hiroshi Masuoka to voice the old master in most media (up to his own death in 2020) aside from the 10th Anniversary special ''The Path to Ultimate Strength'', where Kinya Aikawa (died in 2015) took the reigns and the GBA game ''Advanced Adventure'' where Takkou Ishimori (died in 2013) provided the voice. Nowadays, it's Creator/MasaharuSato who is the voice of Kamesen'nin.
** Tenshinhan's original actor Creator/HirotakaSuzuoki passed away from lung cancer in 2006, so Creator/MitsuakiMadono replaced him in the 2009 video game ''Revenge of King Piccolo'' and some earlier ''Z'' games. Madono didn't go on to keep voicing Tenshinhan in ''Kai'', however, with the role instead going to Creator/HikaruMidorikawa despite sounding nothing much like either of his predecessors.
*** Draculaman was recast with Takahiro Fujimoto after his original actor Creator/KojiTotani, died in 2005. Mira-kun's actor, Creator/ShozoIizuka, was recast with Daisuke Matsubara due to the former's age catching up with him. Matsubara also replaced an uncredited Creator/MasaharuSato as Buyon from the TV series. In addition, Creator/TesshoGenda replaced the late Yasuo Tanaka as Bacterian.
** Namu's original actor Creator/KanetoShiozawa, died tragically in 2000 after falling down a flight of stairs, so Creator/EijiTakemoto voiced the character for his appearance in ''Sparking! METEOR'' and ''Dragon Ball Origins''.
** Demon King Piccolo's voice, Creator/TakeshiAono, suffered a career-ending stroke in 2010. His role was inherited by Creator/BinShimada in ''Dragon Ball Heroes''. Creator/NobuoTobita took over Aono's other role, Sergeant Murasaki, in the same game having previously voiced the ninja in the 1997 ''Manga/DrSlump'' crossover with ''Dragon Ball''. Aono sadly passed away in 2012.
** Lucifer was voiced by Creator/NachiNozawa in ''Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle'', but died of lung cancer complications in 2010. His appearance in ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' was handled by Creator/KatsujiMori.
** Going back to the 10th Anniversary Special, all the Red Ribbon Army officers aside from Commander Red and Staff Officer Black were recast. General Blue notably went from Creator/ToshioFurukawa to Creator/BinShimada, General White from Creator/TesshoGenda to Hirohiko Kakegawa, Seargent Metallic from Shin Aomori to Creator/HisaoEgawa, and Colonel Violet from Creator/KazukoSugiyama to Creator/NaokoWatanabe.
*** Blue's main subordinate in the series, Captain Dock, was voiced by Creator/KozoShioya in episode 48 but was succeeded by Creator/DaisukeGori in episode 49.
** The 2009 video game ''Revenge of King Piccolo'' also recast some minor characters despite their original performer still being active/alive at the time:
*** Snow: Naoko Watanabe --> Hiroko Emori
*** Bear Thief: Masaharu Sato --> Takahiko Sakaguma
*** Jingle Village Chief: Ryuji Saikachi --> Keiji Hirai
* TheOtherDarrin: English Dubs
** The very first English dub of ''Dragon Ball'' was commissioned by Toei themselves using Frontier Enterprises in 1987. It was a dub for the first DB movie ''The Legend of Shen Long'', later known in the USA as ''Curse of the Blood Rubies''. Little is known about it aside from what one of the actors, Richard Nieskins, has confirmed in a now-gone interview that he was in it as Gurumes' robot servant. The English track appeared to have been created solely for Japan Airlines flights which were what the bulk of Frontier's workload was during the '80s and '90s.
** Two years after the Frontier dub, ''Dragon Ball'' was licensed in the U.S. by Harmony Gold who spliced the first and third movies together, along with the first five episodes of the anime, and aired them on television as part of a test to see if audiences would bite. All the characters' names were altered, such as Goku being called '''Zero''', but it was considerably less censored than what Funimation would start out doing with the property initially. The casting included Creator/BarbaraGoodson as Goku, Creator/WendeeLee as Bulma, Kerrigan Mahan as Yamcha, Dave Mallow as Oolong, Pilaf, and Shu, Cheryl Chase (yes, ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} that]]'' Cheryl Chase) as Puar, Wanda Nowicki as Kuririn, Clifton Wells as Kame Sen'nin, Melodee Spevack as Mai, Creator/RobertAxelrod as Tsuru Sen'nin, Eddie Frierson as Tenshinhan, Rebecca Forstadt as Chaozu, Creator/MichaelMcConnohie as Tao Pai Pai and the narrator, and Creator/SteveKramer as Shenron. When things didn't catch on, likely due to lack of consistent advertising, Harmony Gold dropped the license which left the way clear for Funimation to scoop it up years later in 1995. The latter company was very small at the time, so they outsourced the voiceover work to talent in Vancouver, Canada, which was when the flooding of other darrins went out of control.
*** For whatever reason, Creator/MichaelMcConnohie voices Pilaf in the five episodes that were dubbed instead of Dave Mallow who did his brief appearance in ''Mystical Adventure''.
** Even in the beginning with the BLT dub from 1995 (confused by many to be the beginning of the Ocean dub), there would be changes in the cast. The first movie, ''Curse of the Blood Rubies'', was the first DB-related media they dubbed. It had Maggie Blue O'Hara as Bulma but she didn’t stay for their dub of the Pilaf saga where Bulma was voiced by Lalainia Lindbjerg instead. Some of Lalainia's Bulma ended up in the movie when scenes of the anime's second episode were added to pad out the runtime and gave Bulma ''two'' different voices in the film. Funnily enough, for the Westwood dub of ''Dragon Ball Z'', starting with episode 123, Maggie would replace Lalainia in the role of Bulma for most of the series but got replaced herself yet again towards the end by France Perras when the former moved to Hong Kong.
** Master Roshi's voice was done in ''Curse of the Blood Rubies'' by Creator/MichaelDonovan who also played him in the anime's third episode. His scenes during the Fire Mountain portion of the story were done by Creator/IanJamesCorlett, however, who'd continue to voice Roshi into DBZ but was replaced by other actors when Ian parted from the series.
** In 1998 Funimation parted ways with using the Canadian cast after the syndicated broadcast of ''Dragon Ball'' and their dub of the first two seasons of ''Dragon Ball Z'' didn’t pull in high enough ratings, not helped by poor timeslots and curation by the networks. A decision was reached to use in-house talent from Texas for all DB-related properties as a cost-saving measure when reruns of DBZ proved immensely popular with audiences on Cartoon Network's Toonami block. To test the waters, they first dubbed the second ''Dragon Ball'' movie ''Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle'' which was the first appearance of Creator/MikeMcFarland as Master Roshi, Creator/ChristopherSabat as Yamcha, and Laurie Steele as Krillin, who all still continue to voice their characters to this day.
*** There were a few anomalies in the above-mentioned film, with Goku, Bulma, and Launch, being voiced by very different actresses than what most fans remember. Ceyli Delgadillo voiced Goku (plus in the third movie ''Mystical Adventure'' and a few flashbacks during the Frieza and Cell arcs in ''Dragon Ball Z''), Leslie Alexander was Bulma only for ''Sleeping Princess'' and never again afterward and then there’s Launch and who had her good and bad forms done by separate actresses, Monika Antonelli (already Puar) and Christine Martin respectively, instead of one actress using different voices like most media. They would all be replaced in the future by Creator/StephanieNadolny, Tiffany Vollmer, and Meredith [=McCoy=] respectively.
** ''Mystical Adventure'' had some differences too as it was dubbed a full year before Funimation began production on the actual series. Korin was voiced by stage comic Mark Britten before Chris Sabat would replace him in the series while Creator/KaraEdwards was Upa before Susan Huber inherited the part later. The Pilaf gang also had different voices in their brief cameo. Mike [=McFarland=] was Pilaf, Brian Thomas was Shū, and Creator/CynthiaCranz was Mai. They would all be recast with Creator/ChuckHuber, Chris Cason, and Julie Franklin respectively. The Gatchans were voiced by [=McFarland=] as well before of Creator/JohnBurgmeier took over for the Dragon Ball/Dr. Slump crossover much later.
*** The narration was handled by Sabat for ''Sleeping Princess'' and ''Mystical Adventure'' but Brice Armstrong would take the reigns for the series itself and the 10th Anniversary film ''The Path to Power''. Armstrong would count as an example by proxy as he narrated the original series instead of either of the ''Z'' narrators, Dale Kelly or Creator/KyleHebert. This was intentional on Funimation's part in order to give each series its own distinct feel. Years later in 2010, shortly after Armstrong retired, the narrator's introduction was done by Creator/JohnSwasey in their uncut dub of ''Curse of the Blood Rubies''.
** The dub of ''The Path to Power'' had Major Metallitron voiced by Chris Sabat instead of his series actor Chris Rager due to the characters being totally different entities. Funny enough, Sabat had already voiced the main universe's Metallitron in a flashback in ''Z'' during the Androids Saga two years before Funimation got to dubbing the original series. Commander Red was also heard in the above-mentioned flashback by Lane Pianta whereas Creator/JoshMartin would become his voice in the series proper. The same happened with Staff Officer Black who was voiced previously by Phillip Wilburn before Chris Sabat took over.
** Creator/KyleHebert debuted here as the voice of Ox-King replacing Chris Sabat who was voicing him in the Buu arc of ''Z'' at the time. Sabat himself was already the other darrin for Ox-King's original Funimation actor Mark Britten.
** Young Chi-Chi is voiced by Creator/LauraBailey who replaced Monika Antonelli in the part from ''Z'' Episode 202 in a flashback. Monika did voice Chi-Chi's panic as she struggles to remain steady on the Flying Nimbus, however.
** Fortuneteller Baba went from Laurie Steele and Chris Sabat in later ''Z'' to Creator/LindaYoung here who has voiced her for the majority of her appearances ever since.
*** Baba's ghost usher was voiced by Kimberly Grant in the show but replaced by Creator/BrinaPalencia for his appearance in ''Budokai Tenkaichi 2''.
** ''Curse of the Blood Rubies'' wasn’t redubbed uncut until 2010 due to Creator/{{Lionsgate}} withholding the home video rights to it alongside the Pilaf arc. By the time they relented, most of the characters were recast with their voices from ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' due to various reasons. To put things in perspective, the only one of the band of five who retained his voice from the series was Yamcha. As for the rest:
*** Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard replaced Stephanie Nadolny as Goku when the latter racked up too many [=DUIs=] and was apparently let go without her knowledge. This also cost Nadolny her role as Gohan for ''Kai'', which hurt her immensely.
*** Creator/MonicaRial replaced Tiffany Vollmer as Bulma due to the latter moving to New Orleans, Louisiana to pursue work in film and makeup artistry.
*** Creator/BryanMassey replaced Brad Jackson as Oolong since Jackson moved to Denver, Colorado in 2008, though he eventually returned to the role when he moved to Dallas in 2012 for a time before Massey became the voice again for the Universal Survival arc of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''.
*** Creator/BrinaPalencia replaced Monika Antonelli as Puar when the latter moved to Mankato, Minnesota in 2007 to devote her full time as a librarian.
** Arale Norimaki was voiced by Creator/LindaYoung in her first dubbed appearance ''Mystical Adventure'' and the series crossover but she was eventually replaced in her future cameos in the Dragon World by Creator/BrinaPalencia, including a couple of video games. Senbei's movie cameo was done by Sonny Strait but Brice Armstrong would go on to voice him in the crossover.
*** For the crossover episodes themselves, Sourman was voiced in his scene with General Blue by Steve Sanders but his later cameo on television that Akane and the others watch has him voiced by Kyle Hebert, likely due to an oversight by Funimation.
** While ''Revenge of King Piccolo'' was a sort of the last hurrah for the first generation Funimation cast, like ''Raging Blast 1'' was for ''Z'', some replacements had to be made due to the talent pool's gradual shift:
*** Chiaotzu: Monika Antonelli --> Creator/BrinaPalencia (Antonelli, as previously shared, moved to Minnesota to become a full-time librarian)
*** Baba: Linda Young --> Christopher Sabat (Young was apparently unavailable to record so Sabat resumed the role for the first time since 2002)
*** Mai: Julie Franklin --> Colleen Clinkenbeard (Julie moved away from Texas in '06)
*** Upa and Suno: Susan Huber --> Creator/LauraBailey (Huber hadn't acted in anything new since '06 aside from one last outing in ''Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood'' in '10)
*** Bear Thief: Dameon Clarke --> Bob Carter
*** Jingle Village Chief: John Burgmeier --> Dameon Clarke
*** Ghost Usher: Kimberly Grant --> Monica Rial (Grant left Funimation in 2006)
** The ''VideoGame/DragonBallOrigins'' series was another last hurrah that still replaced a couple of characters:
*** Colonel Violet: Kasey Buckley --> Creator/KateOxley (Kasey had moved to Los Angeles in 2004)
*** Giran: Creator/AndrewChandler --> Chris Rager
*** Fangs the Vampire/Draculaman: Carlos Moreno --> Creator/RobertMcCollum
*** Monster Carrot: Duncan Brannan --> Bill Townsley (Brannan was unavailable for the first installment)
*** King Nikochan[[note]]From Dr. Slump[[/note]]: Creator/JustinCook --> Duncan Brannan
*** Upa: Susan Huber --> Kara Edwards (Edwards [[TheOriginalDarrin reprising her role]] from ''DB'' Movie 3: ''Mystical Adventure'')
*** Pteranodon: Brad Jackson --> Creator/PhilParsons
*** Giant Octopus: Christopher Sabat --> Duncan Brannan
** Back in Canada during the 2000s, once Westwood had wrapped on ''Dragon Ball Z'' and ''Dragon Ball GT'', they went back to dub all of the original ''Dragon Ball'' despite Vancouver having previously dubbed the Pilaf arc alongside ''Curse of the Blood Rubies''. Like with ''GT'', instead of reusing the Vancouver talent pool, production was outsourced to their sister branch in Calgary Blue Water Studios. Zoe Slusar and Jeffrey Watson voiced Goku's childhood and teenage selves respectively whilst other casting included Lena Davies as Bulma, Victor Atelevich as Yamcha, Mike Thiessen as Krillin, Dean Galloway as Master Roshi and Emperor Pilaf, Ethan Cole as Piccolo (Jr.), Mike Sheperd as Demon King Piccolo and Kami, plus Brendan Hunter as Tien Shinhan. The narration is handled by Steve Olson, reprising his role from ''GT''.
*** While Zoe Slusar reprised young Goku from ''GT'', Jeremiah Yurk did not reprise adult Goku and is instead voiced by Jeffrey Watson. It could be justified as Goku being significantly younger in the Piccolo Jr. Saga, though Yurk did end up voicing Android #8 in the show. In a similar vein, Mike Thiessen replaced Dan Gascon as Krillin.
*** We also have Leda Davies replacing Kristin Nowosad as Bulma, Carol-Anne Day replacing Debbie Munro as adult Chi-Chi, Roger Rhodes replacing Adam Hunter as General Blue, Jonathan Love replacing Chris Gerritsen as Staff Officer Black, and Steve Olson replacing Dan Gascon as King Furry.
** On the other hand, there's the AB Groupe's dub, which included the three ''Dragon Ball'' movies as well as the first nine ''Z'' movies and TV specials plus the ''GT'' special. Jodi Forrest was Goku and Launch, David Gasman was Yamcha and Oolong, Sharon Mann was Bulma, Krillin, Puar (plus [[CrossdressingVoices Yamcha]] in the second movie), and Ed Marcus, the infamous "old bastard", as Master Roshi.
** Creator/JojiYanami briefly filled in as Kamesen'nin in place of Kōhei Miyauchi in episode 137 due to the latter not being available to record it. When Miyauchi passed in 1995, it fell to Hiroshi Masuoka to voice the old master in most media (up to his own death in 2020) aside from the 10th Anniversary special ''The Path to Ultimate Strength'', where Kinya Aikawa (died in 2015) took the reigns and the GBA game ''Advanced Adventure'' where Takkou Ishimori (died in 2013) provided the voice. Nowadays, it's Creator/MasaharuSato who is the voice of Kamesen'nin.
** Tenshinhan's original actor Creator/HirotakaSuzuoki passed away from lung cancer in 2006, so Creator/MitsuakiMadono replaced him in the 2009 video game ''Revenge of King Piccolo'' and some earlier ''Z'' games. Madono didn't go on to keep voicing Tenshinhan in ''Kai'', however, with the role instead going to Creator/HikaruMidorikawa despite sounding nothing much like either of his predecessors.
*** Draculaman was recast with Takahiro Fujimoto after his original actor Creator/KojiTotani, died in 2005.

*** Mai: Julie Franklin --> Colleen Clinkenbeard (Julie moved away from Texas in '06)

** Back in Canada during the 2000s, once Westwood had wrapped on ''Dragon Ball Z'' and ''Dragon Ball GT'', they went back to dub all of the original ''Dragon Ball'' despite Vancouver having previously dubbed the Pilaf arc alongside ''Curse of the Blood Rubies''. Like with ''GT'', instead of reusing the Vancouver talent pool, production was outsourced to their sister branch in Calgary Blue Water Studios. Zoe Slusar and Jeffrey Watson voiced Goku's childhood and teenage selves respectively whilst other casting included Lena Davies as Bulma, Victor Atelevich as Yamcha, Mike Thiessen as Krillin, Dean Galloway as Master Roshi and Emperor Pilaf, Ethan Cole as Piccolo (Jr.), Mike Sheperd as Demon King Piccolo and Kami, plus Brendan Hunter as Tien Shinhan. The narration is handled by Steve Olson, reprising his role from ''GT''.
*** While Zoe Slusar reprised young Goku from ''GT'', Jeremiah Yurk did not reprise adult Goku and is instead voiced by Jeffrey Watson. It could be justified as Goku being significantly younger in the Piccolo Jr. Saga, though Yurk did end up voicing Android #8 in the show. In a similar vein, Mike Thiessen replaced Dan Gascon as Krillin.
*** We also have Leda Davies replacing Kristin Nowosad as Bulma, Carol-Anne Day replacing Debbie Munro as adult Chi-Chi, Roger Rhodes replacing Adam Hunter as General Blue, Jonathan Love replacing Chris Gerritsen as Staff Officer Black, and Steve Olson replacing Dan Gascon as King Furry.
** On the other hand, there's the AB Groupe's dub, which included the three ''Dragon Ball'' movies as well as the first nine ''Z'' movies and TV specials plus the ''GT'' special. Jodi Forrest was Goku and Launch, David Gasman was Yamcha and Oolong, Sharon Mann was Bulma, Krillin, Puar (plus [[CrossdressingVoices Yamcha]] in the second movie), and Ed Marcus, the infamous "old bastard", as Master Roshi.

** In 1998 Funimation parted ways with using the Canadian cast after the syndicated broadcast of ''Dragon Ball'' and their dub of the first two seasons of ''Dragon Ball Z'' didn’t pull in high enough ratings, not helped by poor timeslots and curation by the networks. A decision was reached to use in-house talent from Texas for all DB-related properties as a cost-saving measure when reruns of DBZ proved immensely popular with audiences on Cartoon Network's Toonami block. To test the waters, they first dubbed the second ''Dragon Ball'' movie ''Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle'' which was the first appearances of Creator/MikeMcFarland as Master Roshi, Creator/ChristopherSabat as Yamcha, and Laurie Steele as Krillin, who all still continue to voice their characters to this day.

** "Mystic Gohan" for his Buu Saga power-up, which was never given a name.[[note]]Although, the video games refer to him as "Ultimate Gohan."[[/note]]
** "Mirai Trunks" to Future Trunks, just plain "Mirai", "Mirai Briefs" in some fanfiction when he returns to the normal timeline and lives with the "other" Trunks. Crosses with GratuitousJapanese. Became AscendedFanon in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', with Beerus calling him "Mirai" in the Japanese dub.
** "Kushami" (Japanese for "sneeze") for Lunch's blonde form, "Ranchi" (the Japanese approximation of "Lunch") for her blue-haired form. The first was coined in early manga summaries before the series was translated, and they are/were ''very'' common {{Fanon}}.
** Majin Buu has several, depending on the people he's absorbed (the main ones being "Buutenks"/"Super Buu 2", "Buuccolo"/"Super Buu 1.5" and "Buuhan"/"Super Buu 3"). Also, Ultra Buu for the briefly-seen muscular form he gained from absorbing South Supreme Kai.
** Frieza, his family, and his race as a whole, have been given the name "Icejins." They have also been called "Changelings". In the fan comic ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'', they're called "Frost Demons", and this name is used by Cell in the English translation of ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse''.
** For nearly all of the male Son family and other characters, it's possible for those who are indulgent enough in the Chinese dubs to make use of the Chinese-to-Japanese BilingualBonus to name them via their Chinese/pinyin names respectively: Son Goku -> "Sun Wukong", Son Gohan -> "Sun Wufan", Son Goten -> "Sun Wutian", Tenshinhan -> "Tianjinfan", and Muten Roshi -> "Wutian Laoshi".
** Attributive nouns are regularly used to distinguish the same character at different arcs/ages. Thus, the adolescent Goku is ''always'' "Kid Goku", and the pure, original form of Majin Buu becomes "Kid Buu".
