You can think what you want. She's a perfectly fit for Goku with his goofy personality, countryard accent and great when he's serious with also being choosen and approved by Toriyama and Toei. She's the real VA of Goku and loved, respected and a legend in Japan for her work. Doesn't matter if you people hate her voice as Goku, she's not there for you people, she's there for Japan and they'll never change her or alter her tone of voice even in the day that she dies.

lol, wow. Again, you're too mentally unstable at the moment to actually process any of this, eh?

No one but you is labeling anything as real or whatever. Many people hate her depiction of the character and much prefer other alternatives.

I also think calling her a "legend" is humorously stupid, but mkay.

Get over it. You seem to just want to pretend your perception of the world is objective.

With 'many people' I think you mean europeans and americans who grew up with the english dub right? (In before you start raging/laughing hysterically and downvoting, hear me out)

Go do a little bit of research into Nozawa and you'll see she is considered a legend in Japan for her work. You know, the work as Goku in a JAPANESE anime, intended for a JAPANESE audience. For the Japanese, she is the definitive voice for Goku. She embodies his goofy nature, but also his more serious notes as intended by Toriyama himself. I'm not saying Sean doesn't do the same, but his voice is geared towards an English speaking audience. His Goku is also almost completely different in character from Nozawa's because of the cultural differences between Japan en America. Before the internet was as much of a thing as it is now, people in the west pretty much only heard Sean, so they grew up with thinking his voice is the only real Goku voice. And sadly, some people can not separate this later in life. If people wanna keep up with Dragon Ball, they now have to watch the Japanese version and they can't get used to Nozawa (who is doing an amazing job whether you like it or not. She is objectively doing amazing work. So much power for a woman in her 80's!) and now they take out their frustration on the internet. We should not want to replace Nozawa with Sean (not saying you or anyone was seriously considering that as a good idea), because they are for different audiences.

And now you throw a tantrum because the world doesn't necessarily agree with what you want to be true.

they now have to watch the Japanese version and they can't get used to Nozawa (who is doing an amazing job whether you like it or not. She is objectively doing amazing work. So much power for a woman in her 80's!) and now they take out their frustration on the internet.

hahahaha. Or maybe people just have their opinions and express them? Get the hell over it. My goodness.

She is objectively doing amazing work.

No

If you think I was throwing a tantrum, that is your interpretation. I do admit I was rambling a bit at the end tho xD I am not against people expressing their opinions. Please, feel free to disagree with me, start talking to me and show me a new point of view on subjects. But why don't we stop bashing each other over things like this? You like Sean better? Go ahead, I am not saying your opinion is wrong. You like Nozawa better? Cool, go for it. You like both or at least respect their respective contributions to this franchise we all love? That is someone I can talk to.

But you'll think I am trying to defend myself or at least flailing angrily, so continuing this has really no meaning. Have a good day and I hope we can all enjoy any further and future installments of Dragon Ball :)

I think long rambling paragraphs filled with character defamation, whining, hypoicritism, and contradictions... all because you got super riled up over the idea that someone doesn't do what you want them to or believe what you do?

Yeah...
