CHADkubros. We won. again.
One Piece would NEVER receive this honour.

A global icon and national treasure.

>not Atsumi Tanezaki
wtf?

>>283116327 (OP)
You knew what you were doing with that image and subject, motherfucker

>>283116327 (OP)
She outlived some of others, so it's a deserved award.

>>283116327 (OP)
Good seiyuus deserve to be awarded, but the Japanese Goku VA is infamously underqualified for something like this.

>>283117063
Nah she's kept herself alive to voice this ONE character (and his clones) for decades.
That's hussle you need to respect.

I feel kind of bad for her being forced to spend almost all of her time voicing characters that she is terrible at. They should just let her voice old women characters and finally let Goku and his family have real voices.

>>283116327 (OP)
Should've gotten it way earlier and not just when she's about to keel over.

>>283116327 (OP)
Grandma Goku was awkward at first, but I got so used to it I wouldn't want it any other way. May she live well the life she has left.

>>283117557
Same at first it felt weird but she grew on me and now goku doesn't feel right if its not her

>>283117063
Kill yourself dubfaggot

>>283117254
You should commit suicide too, retarded dubnigger. Seriously jewmerica should be nuked and we'd be rid of you subhumans forever.

>>283116327 (OP)
Fuck you. I skipped a heartbeat thinking she had passed away with that post title.
>Your fav VAs will die in your lifetime, if they haven't already.

Oh thank god.
I’ve heard rumors that she’s been testing out understudies for the past few years, just in case. Given the situation with Toriyama’s estate, I wouldn’t be surprised if Dragon Ball took a full hiatus if that happened.

>>283120406
We've got a while given they're probably announcing another anime in a few months.

>>283120247
I read the manga and Goku did not sound like an old woman in it

>>283117063
this, should have dropped her with the time skip into dbz, maybe brought her back for gt

>>283120401
At this point, many of my fav VAs are no older than me.

>>283116327 (OP)
Congratulations

>>283120401
Same. Seeing a thumbnail like that usually means one thing, the person passing away.

>>283116327 (OP)
Every single thread I see featuring this woman's name I get the feeling that she's going to die soon.

>>283121062
i mean she is 88

I wonder if when she is inevitably replaced if they will get another old woman to do an old woman voice or if they will finally let Goku have a man voice

>>283121304
no chance whatsoever thankfully. We just have to hope her understudies mimic her at her best in the 80s/90s when she had more range.

When I saw her picture in this thread, I got scared for a moment that she had died. Glad to see that she's still here and still willing to deliver her voice.
>>283117063
Way more qualified than any dub voice actor.

>>283116327 (OP)
Super grandma that outlived so many great anime/manga creators (including Dragonball creator) and many other great voice actors (including Mr Satan and Bulma's original voice actors).

Every time I see a picture of a real person I get scared for a second. Congrats though I suppose.

>>283117063
yeah they should give it to ines who voiced lolis in H games

>>283116327 (OP)
rest in peace

>>283117063
>underqualified
How?

>>283120247
It's pretty weird of you to target the yanks. There are latinxes on this board who claim that their vas are better than the japs'.

>>283117063
Masako Nozawa is a great VA. She can act. Unfortunately people both in the west and Japan only know her for Goku. See Galaxy Express 999.

>>283121780
>It's pretty weird of you to target the yanks.
NTA, but mutts don't get enough hate.

>>283116327 (OP)
This shriekhag is one of the few reasons to prefer a dub.

>>283120494
Goku doesn't sound like an old woman in the anime either.

>>283123334
They're the most hated nationality here despite making 4chan in the first place. Maybe you just have an obsession.

>>283123435
I have ears, I know what Goku sounds like. Almost all of the characters Nozawa voices outside of Dragon Ball are old women and they sound exactly like Goku.

>>283116327 (OP)
grandma who voices luffy is better

>>283123376
Mexican dub is the REAL goku voice, it is known

>>283123484
>despite making 4chan
That should inspire more prejudice if anything.

>>283124451
Women shouldn't voice men, it's retarded.

>>283121537
same, but i think it'd probably be a sticky for the voice of goku

>>283124836
Luffy and Goku are retarded manbabies so they don't violate your standard.

>>283121304
Nozawa has claimed she trained a few people to mimic her Goku voice and mannerisms, preparing the industry for a future without her.

>>283116327 (OP)
congrats

>>283117063
So which seiyuu do you think deserve this award? Name me one seiyuu more legendary than her, I'll wait.

Wow, how nice of the japanese government to do this decades too late. I guess they finally realized that maligning the whole otaku community over an extreme (i.e. Tsutomu Miyazaki) was probably not a good idea. Oh well. Local media also had a hand in that.

It's part of why we don't get much gore kino after 1989.

>>283125413
Norio Wakamoto or Ryo Horikawa

>>283124836
keep your weird insecurities to yourself and your therapist lol...

It's like one long running inside joke.

Joking all his voices are the same as well

it's sadly going to happen any day now.
when miura died, i realized i was going to see the thread for toriyama passing away in the next 10-15 years, and not even 5 years later he was gone

>>283116327 (OP)
bro you scared the fuck out of me before I read the caption

>>283117063
>infamously underqualified
She's been a voice actor for longer than most of us in this shit thread have been alive.

>>283127732
miura was legitimately young, Toriyama less so but still a surprise. I love Nozawa but at 88 her passing isn't really gonna be a shocker

>>283127732
>>283127937
Mangaka seem particularly susceptible to dying young, not enough appreciation for sleep.

>>283116327 (OP)
Every time I see you guys post this seiyuu and this exact pic of her with a screenshot of a wall of text I always think the inevitable has happened.

>>283116679
Not OP, but I learned about the news about half a day ago, but decided not to start any thread cause I just could not come up with/find an image that does not give that first impression, kek.

>>283117063
Just like John Wayne didn't deserve an Oscar, am I right?

>>283125413
Sugita.

>>283128490
If he gets it Koyasu should get it too.

>>283125413
Honestly in terms of seiyuu that have been around since near the inception of television anime, the only other one I can think of who hasn't passed away yet is Katsuji Mori. And at best the nerds here know him for Mittermeyer in LOGH.

>>283116327 (OP)
I don't dislike her but Luffy's VA is way way better. She has an incredible range and level of talent that sets her apart.

Why are dubfags so triggered by her Goku voice? Which was Toriyama approved by the way.

>>283116327 (OP)
>yet another victoy for GODku
Is there anything he can't do?

>>283128996
The only thing she has over Nozawa is aging better, would bet just because she's not almost a centenarian.

>>283117063
This is the dumbest post a virginal white suburbs boy ever made.

>>283128490
He looks like a breeding oji-san now.

unironically now, after her performance in daima she should get more than this
guys, seriously, she sounded like younger self in daima, like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

>>283129185
He honestly looks like a slightly thinner version of Earth Rudeus.

>>283129189
also this, english dub was so cringe
https://youtu.be/Enkk3aSCaLI?si=uGb7nYE8mGIKkFRB

>>283117063
Just because the English dub voice actor of goku hates her and is jealous of her doesn’t mean she’s bad

>>283127894
I love you anon.

>>283129104
Nope, she is able to sound male, she can sing, she has incredible range of emotion.
Most people don't even know Luffy's voice is female.

>>283129349
I could tell she was female because of how similar she sounds to Nozawa. Male Seiyuu have a much lower pitch than women playing guys.

>people believe Son Goku was her only prominent role
God I hate anime tourists.

>>283117063
Way more qualified than the losers at funimation

>>283129557
I was impressed with Dukemon.

>>283129557
yeah remember when she was in Jashin-chan?

>>283128490
I know Kintoki's VA, but who is the other guy? I would asume the middle guy is from the program and not a seiyuu.

>>283116327 (OP)
They were brave waiting this long to give it to such an old person

>>283117063
>continues to be able to do such heavy work at her age
she's an icon for a reason

>>283126641
Go back.

>>283129670
Nakamura Yuuichi. For example MC of Clannad

>>283116327 (OP)
Is there literally any reason to watch DBZ subbed and not just the funimation dub? I mean the funimation dub has
>vastly more fitting voices and Goku doesn't sound like a fucking grandma
>vastly better soundtrack in the CHADconer tracks
>vastly better dialogue

>>283129708
Also she's willing to reinvent according to the needs of the script. She's a national treasure. Unfortunately voice acting is a dying art

>>283130177
>Unfortunately voice acting is a dying art
lol no it's not. It's all going into ASMR and vtubing

>>283130201
That's not voice acting. It's the same with modern anime, it's just using a cutesy voice

>>283130337
If you ever watched 朗読 of something, you'd see some of them change the voice entirely for different characters one line after another. Impressive voice range. Sure, it's rare, but cutesy is not everything that they offer.

>>283129670
>who is the other guy?
Sakurai Takahiro, Cloud Strife from FF7, Kisibe Rohan from Jojo 4 and Suzaku from Geass
>>>/wsg/6003422

>>283130405
They're all Hatsune Miku wannabes, anon.

>>283129009
I'm sure when Toei asked Toriyama which Goku voice he liked in 1985 he already envisioned adult Goku sounding like a grandma for the next 40 years

>>283129557
With other famous roles such as Old Woman from Ping Pong The Animation and Old Woman from that one Pokemon movie

>>283131068
Toriyama seems like the sort of person who would genuinely get a kick out of that.

>>283125413
Hiroshi Kamiya is one of them and Koyasu.

>>283129009
Because they genuinely and unironically believe their voice for Goku is the absolute best.

>>283125413
I have a better question, open for everyone in the thread, who do you think is truly the most underrated and maybe even underappreciated veteran seiyuu?

>>283130140
Bait used to be believable

>>283130140
You avoid Grandma Goku but you get Grandma Freeza

>>283116327 (OP)
That's cool. Respect to the legend.

>>283116327 (OP)
She will die in before 2030 :(

>>283116327 (OP)
good for her
but your thread is formatted like ass

>>283124836
True, they voiced boys originally.

being honest with you all, her goku black is my favourite, normally I hate goku clones, but this one is absolutely the best and kino

>>283125413
Hayamin
Hanakana
Rie Takahashi

>>283127920
I doubt many people in this thread were born before the year 2000, so I doubt that's very hard.

Can we please get a replacement already? Nozawa hasn't sounded good since the 90s.

>>283120494
Toriyama literally said he imagined Goku's voice as Nozawa's as he was writing the manga, and wasn't able to separate the two in his mind.

>>283117063
>underqualified
>literally done it for fucking decades
What did retard-kun mean by this?
