Stephanie Nadolny on Dragon Ball Daima & Coming Back as Kid Goku!

[@pablopaiz1]

Honestly she is the best voice actor from the old school for db, i hated how the dub changed the show in so many different ways but she nailed it as goku and gohan

[@BlakeKoala]

She is so legendary

[@thribs]

By making it better.

[@hyped-up-charlie]

[@bizmak3116]

[@B0bi_007]

@@GCbfan who replaced her? i didnt notice a voice actor change back when i watched db/dbz/dbgt english dubs...

[@KenofLyoko4]

@@B0bi_007the replacement happened in Kai. Stephanie voiced Kid/Teen Gohan in Z and Kid Goku for Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT. Colleen Clickenbeard took over the roles in Kai and all the video games that came afterwards

[@hunterz25]

Nothing against Colleen, but this is the woman I grew up with. DBZ helped me through some rough times so I'm glad she is reprising her role! Hopefully she will continue after Daima.

[@G1sandG1rlsGaming]

I think Colleen is perfect for Kid Gohan because she does well for the Meek personality, but for Teen Gohan and Kid Goku it has to be Stephanie.

[@AceSolomon94]

It's just wierd hearing the voice of Luffy in Gohan but Colleen definitely killed it. But it will always be Stephany for me as the original kis goku voice

[@Slyone71787]

​@@AceSolomon94Colleen was absolutely terrible as Gohan.stephanie is the goat!

[@TheShockVox]

@@Slyone71787couldn’t disagree more. Nostalgia aside; Colleen’s take suits Gohan perfectly. Gohan is more meek and gentle than Goku was as a kid. He was raised to speak more refined than Goku. Stephanie’s voice and natural accent suits Kid Goku perfectly because in Japanese, unlike Gohan, Goku is suppose to sound country. Yes she even suits Gohan as an 11 year old, because despite being a SSJ2 and all that jazz…he’s still 11.

[@TheShockVox]

@@AceSolomon94absolutely agree. I thought Colleen was a perfect Gohan. I was only bummed when Stephanie didn’t get to be Goku anymore because I thought she suited him way more.

[@KingKidGoku32794]

I'm definitely watching because she's my Favorite Voice actor of Kid Goku

Stephanie Nadolny is the all time GOAT. She is so perfect as kid Goku. Still raspy and Boy-ish. So Iconic. Especially Gohan, she's peak!!

[@OlderBudde]

I struggled to watch Kai because of Gohan's VA.. Stephanie will always be the OG. 💯

[@tonyb3214]

This. I refuse to watch kai because I can't get over that voice its so wrong lol

[@HerooftheWild]

Eh, I'm ok with Colleen as Gohan, but Goku, for me, is strictly Stephanie only for me

[@CoolJamz887]

​@@HerooftheWild Facts becuz growing up when I first watched gt on nicktoons I first heard Stephanie and so I'm used to kid Goku with that voice but I'm also used to Gohan though cuz I grew up with Kai because I'm younger I was 8 in 2010.

[@BlakeKoala]

@@NewHyperman6 why I was so happy to do this interview for her to talk about it all

[@homiesenatep]

Yup I loved her too, she’s awesome

[@TheShockVox]

Agreed. She was the perfect Goku

[@HExtraordinaire]

Colleen definitely killed it as kid Gohan, but her voice does not match Kid Goku. No offense to her though

[@AceSolomon94]

Stephanie has to be the one who voices kid goku, no one else.

[@SIMIFU]

I have to say despite her being the voice of both kid goku and kid gohan, she did a wonderful job making them sound different based on mannerisms.

[@mthulisimotsa]

I still revisit the moment she delivered the scream when Gohan defeated Cell. Iconic.

I love when I can hear a little bit of the character even in the actor's natural voice, same with Sean Schemmel.

[@marcosjimenez2793]

From what i remember, there were creative differences between her and sabat, the same with tiffany volmer. Im glad the fans pushed so hard to bring her back because shes an absolute legend

[@TMIATC]

I think they were a couple and when they broke up, Funimation kicked her to the curb.

No 1 can replace her for gohan turning into ss2 you cant change my mind, that entire original dub had love care and emotion and overall substance.

[@Fruitlahoop]

It’s the same way we wouldn’t want Stephanie to be Luffy. Stephanie IS Kid Goku, nothing can change that.

[@HerooftheWild]

Stephanie could probably do a better Luffy than Colleen Luffy's dub voice sounds like if a dog became a human boy, that would eventually smoke a 12 pack and have smoker lungs

[@scytheofatlantisofficial]

Actually, she would probably be a decent Luffy with proper voice direction. Colleen is better as Luffy of course, and I think she's better as Son Gohan, but Stephanie is a better fit for Son Goku.

[@BerserkerGuts_]

Thank god she is back. I was actually thinking the Dub was gonna be dog water without her.

[@CS-om3kj]

SAME. No joke, half the reason I wasn’t so hyped about the initial announcement was only because I watch dub and expected for there to be more Luffy kid Goku, which I did not enjoy whatsoever in FighterZ.

⁠@@CS-om3kj me neither! I find it hard to even play with GT Goku in FighterZ because of it.

I disagree. I think Colleen is a perfect Gohan. But Stephanie is a perfect Goku

[@KeflaBallZ]

I agree! But mainly on GT Goku in FighterZ. It just isn’t right having that other voice on Goku which is why I don’t even bother to play him.

[@mason8241]

Stephanie Nadolny is DBZ! I'm 34 years old now but growing up Gohan was my portal into DBZ. I related and went on the trip all the way through & then turned around later and watched all of Dragon Ball. I still rewatch DBZ from time to time but the REAL PAIN is that she is not the voice in Dragon Ball FighterZ/Kakarot/& now Sparking Zero. I know we can "mod" our games but I wish the men around her and the other actors could rally and advocate for her voice to be in those games somehow. Its not about the PERSON simply a FEELING that she gives us all. Stephanie if you read this we LOVE YOU!!! Thank you for dedicating yourself to this craft and for giving us that peace love & laughter that some of us so desperately needed growing up!!!!

[@mason8241]

i would also pay $20 in each* game just for a Nadolny voicepack. I'm sure there are a lot of guys like that me that would do the same.
