She also voices the entire Son family, Bardock, and Turles. And she speaks regular Japanese for everyone except Goku9. For Bardock it's normal Japanese, for Turles she speaks in a calm yet aggressive manner. And for Goku Black she speaks in a monotone.

I always found that shift in pronouns for his original transformation interesting, too. I'm by no means a fluent speaker, so many of the other minutiae of Goku's speech during that battle were lost on me until just now. I've seen his speech patterns described as being "hick-like," stemming from his early childhood with Grandpa Gohan. I interpreted his "ora" as a reflection of how he's still child-like and innocent at heart, so the impoliteness of it doesn't really occur or matter to him. In turn, the change to "ore" against Freeza comes off like he's *deliberately* assertive and menacing.

That is interesting. I wonder how many non Japanese speakers notice Goku's Japanese country accent? I guess it's a stylistic choice that Nozawa took for the character, fitting quite well in the process. Though, admittedly, it would be weird if Goku had a country accent for the English dub. Perhaps a slight one if they wanted to capture the Nozawa appoarch? Mmm

@@ayakuweb At that point it wouldn't make any sense. The southern accent merely is there to indicate his country-like, simplistiic diction for the Japanese. Similiarly a good localization would make his speaking style match that in terms of showing that he is from the country, naive, and not at all city-like via his diction, etc. "Combined English accents heard from around the world" is quite ambiguous since that can mean anything.

Id argue sean actually does a good job of demonstrating changes in demeanor. His gokus voice gets calmer, slower, deeper, and more deliberate with each transformation, and as you mentioned with goku black as well. Id also argue the whole accent change thing is what he was going for with Rose having a british like accent. Seans goku in general also has a vastly different voice between easygoing goku and serious goku. Normally his gokus voice is very flamboyant and rounded. His serious voice is lower and more sharp. Note, im not saying hes better than nozawa or even as good as her. Im merely stating that for a dub VA, he does an amazing job.

@windandfireproductions5358 yes it is, but it's not nearly as aggregious as the ocean dub. And tbf to the funi dub, they had no help from Toei with their original dub, and changed it in future iterations. I personally do prefer watching the original however, because I do like the more heroic goku and prefer the falconer score. But I would never suggest it to others as it's not really accurate to toriyamas original vision.

I've seen English speaking fans debate how to bring Goku's style of speech into English. An interesting idea that stuck out to me was having the actor drop any uses of the g sound from ing suffixes, using ain't instead of aren't, and just having Goku talk in a less refined manner of speech for a lack of better terminology.

TO be fair the English dub cannot capture that nuance the same way (nor do the vast majority of sub watchers even know that Goku even has an acccent unless you're people watching this video or really interesting in the technicalities) and has its own form of nuances as well. At the end of the day, you want the actors to do their own interpretation instead of following the Japanese completely. Even Nozawa, she could of easily done something more like the manga in neutral Japanese accent but made Goku more of her own unique thing. In essense there's multiple ways to make Goku feel like Goku as long as it retains the core aspect of him. That accent happens to be one of them. I'm sure Nozawa would agree as she dislikes how some Japanese voice actors copy each other at times.

@urbanyouths Nah, there's no point since Goku can sound naive in different ways without an accent. Sean already did it in Super. The accent is a stylilistic thing, it's not entirely required. And Goku is already established as a character without it in English. You can make him sound naive, etc in plenty of ways. And No, Goku talking like Cartman would be kinda dumb.
