when people say Ocean was only suited to the Saiyan & Namek sagas and Funimation suits the rest of the series, that's only because that's what they grew up with. they don't wanna see DBZ any other way. heck; most people who say this don't even like DBKai if Funi had kept using these voice actors, folks would be saying these are the best voices.
Vegeta's Ocean voice suited him well in the Saiyan saga, but as his character develops beyond being a villain, it starts to suit him less. Although Sabat's acting is hammy, he does portray that insecure side of Vegeta a lot better. Other than that: Goku = Funi voice. Ian Cortlett sounds more like Goku, but gave up on the job cuz of the screaming, and Peter Kalamis doesn't quite cut it. Gohan = Toss up Krillin = Prefer the Ocean voice. Funi made him sound like a frog. Piccolo = Ocean by landslide. Scott McNeil IS Piccolo!
Soulless Ginger I agree with that. Despite the fact that Vegeta changed... His voice in this fun is able to leave a sense of he's still that bloodthirsty saiyan in Saiyan Saga. Gokus voice however is much better in Funis dub then again that's my opinion.
Come on... James Corlett (Goku ocean dub voice from beginning to before the fight with captain ginyu) Was way cooler. give me him, Drummond as vegeta, Sabat as Piccolo, the new Krillin voice, and Goku's kid voice as Gohans voice and we have a show... Oh and with Bruce Falconer Music cause that is the shit! well.. Iliked the suspenseful music of the ocean dub before falconer but still!
Back when funimation took completely over they should have gotten brian drummond from vancouver and brought him to Texas. No disrespect to chris sabat but brian nailed it with vegeta from minute one whereas chris had to find his own voice for vegeta.
I bet anything since ocean had more time with Kai that if the lost dub was found it would sound way better than this. The reason why ocean sounded so half-assed is because they were rushed and their directors kept changing. Which isn't a fair comparison if you think about when people compare ocean in the later eps with Funimation.
@054martinm Least he doesn't sound like he smokes twenty packs a day. Here's the thing. He was in his mid to late twenties when he first came to earth. Aka, long after puberty. So his voice wouldn't change midway in the frieza saga. His voice wouldn't change to this at all unless he smoked heavily. A character's voice is their voice. Doesn't matter if they're evil or good, one voice for one character. Not changing it based on good behaviour. Voices don't work like that.
What are you talking about? It's all about personal preference with each character. Both studios have their good and bad voices. The weakness and strength of Funi is Chris Sabat. A man with a solid voice and the talent to use it. But since he does like half of the characters in the series, it gets redundant after a while. Ocean has a really good Vegeta voice, but some of the side characters are really weak.
Not to mention that Dbz always had a problem with actually showing the character's increased power. Thus a blast/fight at powerlevel 18,000 doesnt look much or any different to a blast or fight at powerlevel three hundred trillion in dbz.
to be honest it all just depends wat you get used to u have to be used to both to b able to compare other than that u have no say in the matter because if u only heard one dub u will obviously prefer the one that u feel comfortable with
i love the part where vegeta is liek "what do you think...uhg...you think...im just gonna roll over and die...grr...-waves finger at self- come on...your scared arent you...thats it!" then kid buu is like "O:"...
wow I love Chris Sabat's Vegeta but to be honest I likes Brian Drummond's Vegeta as well considering that was his voice when Dragon ball z first hit Cartoon Network. I grew to like it. I thought when Chris took over that the voice changed everywhere. Im glad to know Brian is still playing Vegeta
The same reason why Goku wasn't SSJ3 against Majin Vegeta or why Gotenks started off in normal state. And lets not forget about how ten minutes can last like ten twenty minute episodes one moment and only last 5 second another. DBZ logic doesn't mesh well with real world logic.
He may have said that, but that's just because he was used to hearing the Canadian ones, just like most Ocean fans. Vegeta's voice in Ocean was too sniveling, like something I'd expect to hear out of a character like Babidi or Pilaf.
i personally enjoy most dubs of dbz. even the big green dub if only to have a laugh. if the funimation voices had the ocean dub music i think it would have been a pretty much perfect dub. in my opinion vegetas voice is better when its low. but i still adore the ocean dub as its what i grew up with as a kid.
@darkruler64 I agree, during the show, he visibly got older, yet his voice stayed the same... Or maybe I'm too used to the Funi dub after the Namek saga.... Either way. And I find Kai good. It's new, it's different, it's interesting, and the visuals are good. The voice actors are more experienced too, and the soundtrack sets the tone well.
I still never understood why in this little fight Vegeta didn't turn into a Super Saiyan, maybe to make the fight against Kid Buu later when he actually does go Super Saiyan more significant? And also I Prefer Ocean dub. it's the Dragonball Z I grew up watching : )
People are 99% more likely to like the first one they hear because it sounds the most natural to them. That being said, it's really nightmarish to imagine that in the future, kids will think Kai is the best.
> Four second of air guitar played in a infinite loop while an untalented VA screams throughout it is NOT epic. > More shitty techno music from an untalented hack no-ones ever heard of before. Point being?
Only reason I watch these youtube vids is because Drummond's Vegeta is awesome. But I like Sabat's as well. It'd be great if both versions came out on the same DVD but that'll never happen
Vegeta's is perfect in Funimation, if it weren't for Funimation's Vegeta and Goku, and the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack, DBZ would not be as worldwide as it is now. It'd just be considered another generic late-at-night Cartoon Network anime.
doesnt buu go against the laws of physics.. matter can neither be created nor destroyed.. so if vegeta vaporizes half of his body then how does buu still have the matter left regenerate his entire self? O.o
@KaboomKrusader2 my guess was he was just trying to buy time and wanted to conserve power and using super saiyan form eats a bit more energy. but as the other guy said this was filler anyways
I never said he was consciously making a comparison, I said it was probable. The Ocean Vegeta's voice just sounds silly, and takes all the badass away from the character.
1:20
Dende sounds very..unenthusiastic xD
Vugeeda 😐 Lmfao 😂😂😂😂

@DavisK. - l agree!!!
I would agree with you. But no matter how evil or good someone becomes, doesn't mean their voice will change.
Soulless Ginger I agree with that. Despite the fact that Vegeta changed... His voice in this fun is able to leave a sense of he's still that bloodthirsty saiyan in Saiyan Saga. Gokus voice however is much better in Funis dub then again that's my opinion.
Davis K. same
No, Ian constantly fought with the staff, hated the paycut, and decided to go into comedy
Come on... James Corlett (Goku ocean dub voice from beginning to before the fight with captain ginyu) Was way cooler. give me him, Drummond as vegeta, Sabat as Piccolo, the new Krillin voice, and Goku's kid voice as Gohans voice and we have a show... Oh and with Bruce Falconer Music cause that is the shit! well.. Iliked the suspenseful music of the ocean dub before falconer but still!
I prefer Peter Kelamis personally. I do like Kirby as Trowa from Gundam Wing but not as Goku.
Scott McNeill was a way better piccolo
I 2nd Scott McNeils piccolo . "no man comes to another mans home and tells him what to do" legendary
@@TG-mt6ke great line!!!
I really loved the ocean dub. I grew up with it. I remember coming from school as fast as I could so I could watch the newest DBZ episodes.
Vegeta sounds much better in this version
> Bruce Faulconer
> awesome
HA! Thanks I needed a good laugh! Because all "awesome" composers go bankrupt right?
buu is by far the funniest villain in dbz and hercule is the funniest character of all.
thumbs up if you agree!!
Back when funimation took completely over they should have gotten brian drummond from vancouver and brought him to Texas. No disrespect to chris sabat but brian nailed it with vegeta from minute one whereas chris had to find his own voice for vegeta.
i wish there was a way to have the ocean dub with faulconer music
I feel the same way.
Well there is a way it’s just that no one’s tried it someone would have to reduce the music on this dub and then insert the falconer score
Funimation>Ocean dub (Cell saga - kid buu saga)
Ocean Dub > Funimation ( Saiyan saga - frieza saga)
The Super Buu era and onwards is when Ocean finally got in gear; the music definitely started to fit more instead of feeling all over the place :)
Brian Drummond works as the young Vegeta, Christopher Sabet works as the older Vegeta.
IN MY OPINION
I get sick of that sometimes. I love the Ocean Dub but every time I watch an ocean video on youtube I read those negative replies from funi fans.
"VUHGEETAH!!!!"
Ja, dat klopt. Ik heb echt geen idee van hoe lang geleden dit is.
"I can't do it! I'm not match for him!"
Well, it might help just a TAD if you weren't in freaking base form.
I bet anything since ocean had more time with Kai that if the lost dub was found it would sound way better than this.

Goku's voice in ocean dub just doesn't sound like Goku... :/
Not to mention that Dbz always had a problem with actually showing the character's increased power. Thus a blast/fight at powerlevel 18,000 doesnt look much or any different to a blast or fight at powerlevel three hundred trillion in dbz.
we canadians grew up with both dubs. They switched dbz back to the ocean dub during the middle of the cell games saga
LMAO i cant stop laughing at 0:45 when buu starts dancing that is too funny.
Goku's voice sounds like the same voice as the spiderman cartoon from the 90's.
to be honest it all just depends wat you get used to u have to be used to both to b able to compare other than that u have no say in the matter because if u only heard one dub u will obviously prefer the one that u feel comfortable with
After the Namekian Saga, the Ocean Dub didn't do it for me
Anyone who says Kai is no good ought to give the DVDs a chance
i love the part where vegeta is liek "what do you think...uhg...you think...im just gonna roll over and die...grr...-waves finger at self- come on...your scared arent you...thats it!" then kid buu is like "O:"...
Epic dance at 0:45
I like kid buu ocean dub voice
man I never realized how much I missed these old voices untill now. I honestly never knew the ocene dub finished the series why was it never aired?
If you think Vegeta's bad, look at what happened to Piccolo in the Buu saga. Total character rape.
wow I love Chris Sabat's Vegeta but to be honest I likes Brian Drummond's Vegeta as well considering that was his voice when Dragon ball z first hit Cartoon Network. I grew to like it. I thought when Chris took over that the voice changed everywhere. Im glad to know Brian is still playing Vegeta
Ocean dub is best for voice acting, Bruce Falcouner made the Funimation dub what it is, I wish we could have the best of both worlds
i prefer ocean dub for saiyan-ginyu saga
and funimation dub for frieza saga-kid buu saga
thumbs up if you agree
The same reason why Goku wasn't SSJ3 against Majin Vegeta or why Gotenks started off in normal state. And lets not forget about how ten minutes can last like ten twenty minute episodes one moment and only last 5 second another. DBZ logic doesn't mesh well with real world logic.
2:03 if Vegeta died right there the world would be gone, because Goku is stupid enoth to forget about the spirit bomb XD
@054martinm
He actually sounds intimidating. Which is aways fitting for Vegeta.
Kid buu talks lol . Now anything possible
He may have said that, but that's just because he was used to hearing the Canadian ones, just like most Ocean fans. Vegeta's voice in Ocean was too sniveling, like something I'd expect to hear out of a character like Babidi or Pilaf.
I'm not American and I actually prefer the Ocean dub than Funimation
your awesome man, thank you
*you're
i personally enjoy most dubs of dbz. even the big green dub if only to have a laugh. if the funimation voices had the ocean dub music i think it would have been a pretty much perfect dub. in my opinion vegetas voice is better when its low. but i still adore the ocean dub as its what i grew up with as a kid.
@metallickakarot goten and teen gohan were also voices by a girl i think... gotenks and trunks too
i remember seeying this on yoring back then, first on cartoon network and later on yorin :D
" and nerfed everyone else =/ "
Besides Gayhan....
@darkruler64 I agree, during the show, he visibly got older, yet his voice stayed the same... Or maybe I'm too used to the Funi dub after the Namek saga.... Either way.
And I find Kai good. It's new, it's different, it's interesting, and the visuals are good. The voice actors are more experienced too, and the soundtrack sets the tone well.
@ParakoopaPete Thanks for your originality. Seems like most people jump on the Ocean dub is terrible bandwagon all too easy these days.
Yep.
I still never understood why in this little fight Vegeta didn't turn into a Super Saiyan, maybe to make the fight against Kid Buu later when he actually does go Super Saiyan more significant?
And also I Prefer Ocean dub. it's the Dragonball Z I grew up watching : )
@blackblur589 true, but Funi's dub wasn't exactly a masterpiece either, after all they did have to remaster the series a few times.
People are 99% more likely to like the first one they hear because it sounds the most natural to them. That being said, it's really nightmarish to imagine that in the future, kids will think Kai is the best.
TheSilentStorm
Cause it is
1:19 the most pathetic piece of voice acting I've ever heard. "vegeeeetaaaaa... -_-"
Neither the original Funi dub or the Ocean dub had the original OST. And don't state your opinion as a fact, it sounds stupid.
shouldn't give trolls attention...they get what they want when you do
brian drummond for vegeta and sean schimmel for goku FTW!!
> Four second of air guitar played in a infinite loop while an untalented VA screams throughout it is NOT epic.
> More shitty techno music from an untalented hack no-ones ever heard of before.
Point being?
This vageta is way better than funimations I like krillians n piccolos voices2
I like the voices much more in the funimation dub. Especially Vegeta.
@KhalidragonballZ ocean dub is awesome
This dub needs shuki levy music of the original.
Imagine if it never got replaced with Funi, I bet Shuky would've made perfect tracks
@KrillinThePimp Where did you get the idea that Goku wasn't supposed to be manly?
i dont hate Ocean dub....i just grew up with Funimation so im not used 2 this ver
Only reason I watch these youtube vids is because Drummond's Vegeta is awesome. But I like Sabat's as well. It'd be great if both versions came out on the same DVD but that'll never happen
Vegeta's is perfect in Funimation, if it weren't for Funimation's Vegeta and Goku, and the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack, DBZ would not be as worldwide as it is now. It'd just be considered another generic late-at-night Cartoon Network anime.
Holy hell? Dutch subtitles? So DBZ in my country was Ocean Dubbed? Strange, considering I seem to remember the funi dub..
the most durable character ever
i think it came out at the same time
@TheOnikitsu RESPECT Blue Water Ocean.
I'm Sorry but I defiantly prefer the Funamation Dub over this
monster rancher music
I prefer vegeta's ocean dub voice.
weet je hoe ik nog meer nederlands ondertitelde dbz films kan kijken??
yo weet je hoe ik meer nederlands ondertitelde dbz films kan kijken??
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL 0:45
@darkruler64 yeah i agree and its cuz the dvds r uncut
Reminds me of the Saiyan Saga.
@KaboomKrusader2 My thought was so he could preserve his energy...but then again, Goku hasn't started the Genki Dama yet so not entirely sure.
doesnt buu go against the laws of physics.. matter can neither be created nor destroyed.. so if vegeta vaporizes half of his body then how does buu still have the matter left regenerate his entire self? O.o
@KaboomKrusader2 my guess was he was just trying to buy time and wanted to conserve power and using super saiyan form eats a bit more energy. but as the other guy said this was filler anyways
you grew up with ocean? Me too.
stop hating on funi. stop hating on ocean. let people like what they like.
Easy now, kids.
@FEARLIFE23
He did, as an Ascended Super Saiyan.
In the manga, vegetal got absolutely wreaked
the only good voice in Ocean Dub is vegeta's. I would like this alot better if they had better actors for everyone except vegeta. DRUMMOND IS THE BEST
I think Drummond was better for Vegeta up till the ginyu saga.
to tell you the truth I prefer ocean dubs voice for vegeta and just his
@Msdbzbleachfan: Agree
Holy shit. Are you serious?
1:43 problem
They should make Vegeta stronger
I never said he was consciously making a comparison, I said it was probable. The Ocean Vegeta's voice just sounds silly, and takes all the badass away from the character.
Am I the only one who was amazed by how unenthusiastic the line readings were? There was no effort put into that acting at all...
yes!!!!!
why didnt vegeta power up to max. like going to ssj2???????????
I'm sorry, the voices just sound so nerdy though, with the exception of Frieza's and Vegeta's, who just sounded creepy and overdone.
1:24 to 1:27 how exactly does that work
the old voice of goku (ocean dub) is gone thats gay
@GHSH1 There was, a long time ago on the channel now called Veronica.
