I love how confused he sounds when doing the Kamekameha.

Some of the voices sound so confused during their takes on it I can almost imagine they don't know where it comes from and only just realized the error mid-take.

It is pretty obscure. Goten only used it once, right?

I also like the rebranding of Big Bang Attack as Tryhard Attack. Even when it's part of the Big Bang Kamehameha.

Lethal League, Death Battle, and now Xenoverse? Taka's going to end up becoming a full-on VA at this rate.

I hope so. It reminds me of when the guy who plays Chad Vader was hired to actually start playing Darth Vader in the Star Wars video games.

Honestly, there's only so much longer the original Dragon Ball dubbers are going to be willing and able to play their roles; eventually something is going to catch up to them, whether it's age, circumstance, or just general lethargy at reading the line, "It's not often a third-rate like you gets to play with a Super-Elite like me!" for the billionth time.

The English VAs have been playing these roles for almost 20 years. They've still got some youth and life in them, but there will inevitably come a time when the series outlives its performers, and when that time comes, they're going to need to cast some fresh, new voices. When that time comes, they can take a chance on some new, untested voices, or they can turn to people who've been playing these characters for years and go, "You want a job?"

With Taka in Xenoverse, I can't wait for the inevitable Two Saiyans Play/Renegade for Life of it.

[up][up]Maybe it'll be like Disney and they've already trained their replacements.

At least do a joke vid for Smite first dammit.

In case you don't get it Lanipator voices one of the characters.

Also I don't know for anyone else but I wasn't fully cemented that was Taka until "Cat loves food, yeah yeah yeah". Did a nice recoil when that happened too.

Also, if you listen closely, I think Taka does voice #7 as well, just in his regular voice.

I gotta say, I'm happy for them that they've started getting professional work.

edit, Voice 7 actually sounds like Micah Solusod to me.

[up]That trope page is actually kinda hilarious, considering one of the Youtube comments pegged Voice #7 as Johnny Yong Bosch.

And yeah, it really is impressive to see these guys get professional work. They definitely have the talent, and should be more recognized for it.

I'd be amazed if Taka didn't, considering he played as the character he voiced in Lethal League.

Not to mention, it's a callback to a previous episode. I love TFS continuity.
