@@reece_aka3166 dude I'm not saying you should like masako Nozawa better. You can like old Z gohan voice that's fine but saying she is iconic is stupid because most other countries probably never heard of the old Gohan voice.
Stephanie Nadolny is superior because she seemed to truly empathize with Gohan's internal struggle & pain. Even the scream when breaking the barrier to SS2 is a struggle and you can hear her act it out brilliantly. Both Actors are extremely talented, but Stephanie simultaneously immersed you into Gohan's internal & external conflict in a way that induced nostalgia.
@@sergantanthony216 i think that made it better. it was goku’s kid after all so i always like that they just used the same voice. gave them a huge connection for the viewer.
The thing with Colleen is that when she voices Gohan you're hyper aware its a female voicing him. Stephanie as Gohan actually sounded like a little boy. She was also more versatile voicing gohan from 4 years old and subtlely adjusting her voice as Gohan ages. Even more so when she voices Goku. At first glance you think they sound the same, but her voice as kid Goku has a very carefree tone with significantly less rasp. Stephanie captured the characters in a way similar to Masako Nozawa. I love Colleen, but you can't tell me her voice for Erza, Luffy, and DBZKai's Gohan don't sound EXACTLY the same.
@Peyton Robinson if you don't want to be rude then you shouldn't have said it don't regret it now it was childish of you cause you probably are an imature child
Stephanie Nadolny gives me straight up goosebumps whenever I hear her, her voice is so iconic and ingrained into my head whenever I think of Kid Goku or Teen Gohan from growing up with this show, so much that hearing a different voice actor for the same character is just an instant wtf. It's like if they suddenly decided to change Goku's voice and use someone else other than Sean Schemmel, it honestly just would not be the same. Thats not to say Colleen is bad or anything, she's a good voice actor, I just don't like it. I prefer Stephanie's more rough voice. I do love the new voice actor for Frieza though, he really grew on me. Seems its either a hit or miss whenever they recast voices for such beloved and nostalgic characters.
Just like Frieza. I cannot stand the "pip pip cheerio mm yes, crumpets" VA they have now... The original Frieza had a sinister battle hardened "gonna kill you cuz you're a disgusting f***ing monkey" type voice. It was actually evil sounding. The new person makes Frieza sound like he's a college bully who's dad paid his way to the top.
@MaloTheYoshi but new Frieza just doesn't really sound like a villain imo. in super it kinda fits more than in z because you don't really see Frieza as the villain anymore in super. I agree with the other guy old frieza has a more sinister voice than new but that's just my opinion
To me, I can feel more emotion with Colleen’s voice. During that time where Gohan was beating up second form Frieza, I could feel Gohan’s anger. I didn’t get the same feeling with Stephanie.
Konton probably because that was stephanies first time doing a scene like that. Compared to the new actress who’s had years of experience when they went to re dub it.
I definitely prefer the raspiness in Gohan original English voice, really sounded like a boy pre-adolescence. Although Colleen is probably the more talented voice actress I think she sounds too female to play Gohan + Luffy. Stephanie was just a perfect natural casting. Stephanie just is Gohan, Colleen is a female voice actress who happens to voice Gohan.
Definitely top five, maybe top three. Other contenders being Sean’s “I will not let you destroy my world!”, all of the Ultra Instinct roars from both Schemmel and Nozawa, Schemmel’s Fusion Reborn Super Saiyan 3 transformation, a lot of Chris Ayres’ Frieza screams, and Super Broly’s transformation into a Super Saiyan.
@MASON CROWbotchski While I think her voice didn't fit for a five year old (and the line delivery in the Freeza arc was not well), I do recognize her delivery and acting was phenomenal in the remastered dub of the Saiyan Saga.
Even though Stephanie is 100x better, I still respect Coleen for screaming that long. She had giant shoes to fill after Stephanie and she did it proper. Respect!
Stephanie made Gohan’s voice so icon and legendary!!! She really brought his feelings in the Cell Saga and that’s what made me like him so much especially with his character development!! I feel with Colleen she sounds like she’s actually just reading a script really no emotion behind how Gohan felt watching his father and friends get brutally hurt by cell jr it just wasn’t hitting for me imo. But others have their opinion and I’m sticking with mine Stephanie is Teen Gohan forever! 😁
I do too. I think both have their flaws at a certain age of Gohan, but I still enjoyed them both nonetheless. I can definitely get behind Colleen because of so Kai’s softer music.
1:53 I’m not trying to be biased but I mean come on You can literally feel the power and Anger in that yell. Couldn’t have fit Gohans character any more perfectly. What makes it epic is how her key in her scream kinda goes up and down giving the impression that the power is so unstable like 📈unlike the other scream which just goes straight up
Stephanie Nadolny is best as Gohan hands down. Not saying that Colleen is a bad voice actor or anything, I just prefer Stephanie as Gohan that’s all. This is why I only watch the original Funimation dub and not Kai or whatever version has Colleen voicing Gohan
Steph's acting delved deeper into Gohan's character. Colleen managed to show the anger but Gohan's emotions are alot more complex than the other characters, Steph's acting still depicted the conflict and struggle in Gohan's mind to restrain himself or release his power, it's almost like you can hear the moment his mind snaps during the SSJ2 transformation. I would imagine Colleen would probably be suited to kid Trunks, but Steph's multi faceted and stepped approach is perfect for Gohan.
@@justdj5840 yes i know shes way better as erza "gotta get back in to fairy tail" but shes not bad as teen gohan actually she did way better as kid gohan
Stephanie is a better teen, Colleen is a better kid. I liked Stephanie much better as Kid Goku tho, whoever his new voice is, is awful. It fit him for his age just fine.
@@ShiiroHasu I'd say Colleen makes a good kid Gohan, but Stephanie's delivery of the silly Goku and her blood curdling screams as teen Gohan are better.
Ironically, something about Colleen's control kinda makes the emotion ring hollow to me. I think she's a fantastic VA, but that's actually sort of the issue. She's got so much control, such good technique, it strips away the visceral intensity. On the other hand, Stephanie obviously has good technique as well(she wouldn't have been able to do this for so long if she didn't), but she doesn't seem to have the same breath control/support that Colleen has. And because she can't hold out the screams for as long and as evenly, it lends itself to the performance.
Stephanie dips too far into her lower register and coerces the intended effect. The result is that you literally hear her spine in her acting, so it's painfully obvious that her sound is female She's trying to be _like_ a boy, which confuses the role. Gohan is a child, and not just any child, the child of a rough and tumble Saiyan warrior. Even Trunks as an adult represents this internal struggle through his acting. His character arc goes from wanting to put his Saiyan nature to good use, to being completely green about what it means to live among Saiyans (specifically Vegeta), then dealing with the imposter syndrome of his father's legacy Gohan just did all that on the ground floor where he starts off a child, then makes his stand against his mother's wishes, to finally feeling like he can make a difference within the fight of his Saiyan heritage He bites off more than he can chew, but because he has an instinct for doing the right thing, his combat prowess takes over and he forgets that he is supposed to be mild mannered I say all this because of all the back and forth within his conscience where he's not exactly certain how he should be conducting himself. So like when he has a head slap moment during Yamacha's Saibamen fight where Piccolo has to tell him to use his senses to read movements Fast forward to him watching Goku square up with Perfect Cell and his take on their battle was that the two of them were just playing. So we have this character whose mind is on the scene, but his heart doesn't exactly know where he stands. This is the behavior of a boy A better example of this can be found in Gurren Lagann when Kamina takes his first steps outside. "There's nothing here" so his father breaks down the premise of a man's soul and being completely free. When confronted with the gravitas of this reality, he looks down at his feet. Being uncertain. The rest of his life is spent putting the pedal to the mettle and confronting every aspect of his heart that bore doubt. He became the perfect mentor and archetype for Simon who literally couldn't see the hand in front of his face When you go into a role, there has to be evidence that you understand a character's motivations. And that goes into your acting. You can do a line read and everyone goes out for drinks after a day in the studio, but without a sort of connection with the character, it's a jobber's task at best
Stephanie is the definitive version of Kid Goku whos voice fits that version of the character perfectly, but i really think Colleen kills it as Gohan, her voice just better fits his personality. I get that the Japanese version also had them be the same voice but ive never been a fan of it because Goku and Gohan are like complete opposite characters so having that timid nature in Gohans voice is why Colleen will always be my Gohan.
I have a bias for Stephanie Gohans but I have to admit that Colleen Gohan voice grew on me. However I cannot say the same thing about Colleens Goku because Stephanie Goku was perfect
Stephanie will NEVER be beaten as gohan! She brought him to life in such a way that can never be redone. stephanie owns the cell games gohan forever and always! 💯💯💯
Your smoking crack if you think her luffy voice better someone else should’ve voice him like a man voice like English dub goku compared to his Japanese voice
@@majidaljaburi7870 I’d disagree, in the original funimation pilot dub in 2004 they had Eric Vale (Voice of Future trunks, Sanji) to voice luffy which sounded even worse compared to the current dub.
1:00 The raw power I feel in that scream, like the angst of a preteen that can't get their way in much of Gohan trying to control his fluctuating power! Sorry Colleen... you are good, but Stephanie is the 'chefs kiss'.
Nobody is touching Stephanie when it comes to voicing DBZ characters. But Colleen is an incredible voice actress all around. She's in so many anime doing so many voices. Her range is awesome.
I think the reason Stephanie Nadoly works so well ( other than actually sounding like a young boy). Is the fact she just doesn't have many roles. She's pretty much know for Gohan and Kid Goku and hasn't done much since. Colleen on the other hand, has had a huge career of up to 300 different series, as well as playing Luffy. There's really nowhere she can go in terms of voices.
For me its Nadolny as kid Goku and Clinkenbeard for kid Gohan. Nadolny fits Goku's rowdiness and more relaxed attitude whereas Clinkenbeard sounds more sensitive and anxious like kid Gohan.
Exactly my thoughts. I'm watching through Dragon Ball all the way through for the first time right now and I'm loving Stephanie as Goku, but after watching Kai and hearing Colleen as Gohan, as much as I want to revisit the original Z, it's going to be weird hearing Stephanie as Gohan. I grew up on Z, so Stephanie's voice is certainly nostalgic for me, but I think you're right, that Colleen's voice just more accurately captures Gohan's more sensitive nature.
Colleen Clinkenbeard is in my top 5 favorite VA's of all time. She sounds great as Gohan. And for some reason, as Gohan she sounds like Laura Stahl. Like A LOT like Laura Stahl. It can go either between Colleen and Stephanie but if I were to give the edge to one or the other, it goes to Stephanie. Clinkenbeard is more of a Erza person to me, because as Erza she truly shines. She's like Bryce Papenbrook with Eren, or Laura Stahl with Aiger, and even Johnny Yong Bosch with Ichigo. But Stephanie essentially made my childhood with DBZ. Nonetheless, both VA's are straight🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nodalys goku & Clickenbeerds gohan for me personally. Grew up with og dragonball. Never liked the idea that gohan sounded just like kid goku when i got to z
Stephanie is great don't get me wrong. But since I grew up with Kai, Colleen has always been Gohan for me. Stephanie will always be kid Goku. But Colleen takes the cake for Gohan
It’s a bit of a hot take but I prefer Colleen cause whenver Stephanie talks as gohan I just hear kid goku but Colleen gives gohan his own identity kind of
I mean I grew up with Stephanie so of course I like hers better but Colleen is another voice I admire cause she knows how to yell without sounding constipated. And I like her for luffy too.
1:39 This right here. Main reason why I have always preferred Stephanie Nadolny as Teen Gohan. Linked the clip to the comparison part for your convenience, rather than jumping straight to Nadolny.
Im not too upset about kid/Teen Gohan. Im upset they changed Kid Goku’s voice as well. For the entire original DB dub until Goku became an adult, Kid Goku was voiced by Stephanie. Now they changed Kid Goku’s voice and they wanna pretend its not a big deal…
I prefer stephanie as goku than gohan tbh but hearing colleen as goku feels weird since I watched dragon ball and gt and played both as kid goku and gt goku in the video games
Stephanie all the way. Ill never forget watching that ssj2 transformation live with the ost and recording it on my vhs.. I probably re-watched that scene so many times. And on vhs, it wasn't nearly as easy as today. 😅 Still gives me chills. Ssj2 transformation in bojack was badass as well.
Stephanie's "Gohan" sound freaking epic and gives Gohan not just a powerful impression but adds something mysterious to his friendly character too. Colleen's "Gohan" sounds too performed tbh.... There's nothing epic, powerful or mysterious about it.. In fact, it's sound like wining most of the time... Just annoying to listen to... Doesn't suit Gohan's character at all. But, that's just my opinion....
For them long screams, Colleen is just so great at it. For dialogue, she’s cool. I love Stephanie for her dialogue and some of her screams can get cool too.
It's honestly no contest. Same with Bulmas voice actress. Most of the original cast from Z are much better. I think there are only 2 changes I think worked, but they're such minor characters that I don't even know their names lol.
i agree its a no contest but the 1 change that i think was a good one is frieza's voice change, not that the old voice was bad but the new 1 just feels better
Im usually all for opinions but for Dragonballz voice acting is not negotiable for me, it will always be the original english voices, they made dbz famous in the west to begin with. So in this instance, you either like the original which according to comments is superior or youre just wrong.
0:52 A scream that tells us Gohan is powering up like never before. Decent delivery, I'd give a 7/10 1:00 A scream that tells us Gohan is powering up like never before because his anger has been pushed to the tipping point. The raw emotion in that scream... Chills man. absolute 10/10
@@johnlee6781 no no... u r a troll... 0 out of 10 is a troll rating because no matter how bad someone or something is, they deserve at least a number above a 0. U can't tell me that stephanie powering up as teen gohan is a 0.. no body is going to take u seriously. Collen was one of the reason i didn't watch kai and even then I won't give her a 0...

"There's nothing here" so his father breaks down the premise of a man's soul and being completely free. When confronted with the gravitas of this reality, he looks down at his feet. Being uncertain. The rest of his life is spent putting the pedal to the mettle and confronting every aspect of his heart that bore doubt. He became the perfect mentor and archetype for Simon who literally couldn't see the hand in front of his face
When you go into a role, there has to be evidence that you understand a character's motivations. And that goes into your acting. You can do a line read and everyone goes out for drinks after a day in the studio, but without a sort of connection with the character, it's a jobber's task at best
Stephanie because she put more character into the voice
Peyton Robinson I have. And it sounds like colleens still going through puberty while going through renal failure pain on her period
Peyton Robinson she’s better in other anime. Not dbz
Peyton Robinson not really. Hogan sounds like a girl. He’s not supposed to
Peyton Robinson he’s a kid but he isn’t supposed to sound like a pubescent girl
Peyton Robinson yeah but not a teen girls voice
Stephanie is the definitive version of Kid Goku whos voice fits that version of the character perfectly, but i really think Colleen kills it as Gohan, her voice just better fits his personality. I get that the Japanese version also had them be the same voice but ive never been a fan of it because Goku and Gohan are like complete opposite characters so having that timid nature in Gohans voice is why Colleen will always be my Gohan.
I prefer Stephanie Nadolny because she puts more emotion into the voice
Stephanie is the only Gohan voice for me. Didnt even knew about the other one.
I have a bias for Stephanie Gohans but I have to admit that Colleen Gohan voice grew on me. However I cannot say the same thing about Colleens Goku because Stephanie Goku was perfect
Sorry but I like Colleen as Gohan better.
Stephanie is better as young Goku though
Agreed
More anger in Stephanie Nadoly and fits Gohan as a character. Colleen Clinkenbeard sounds more of Naruto or one piece-ish type voice.
Atleast she sounded more like a kid unlike Stephanie Gohan
@@dbzjack2669Nah. Stephanie sounded more masculine for a kid and Colleen was way too feminine
The nostalgia value of stephanie out shines colleen's
Colleeen's sounds too high pitched for gohan
He’s 11 for flucks sake
@@haydenscott8969 you dont see young kids going very high pitch anyways
He's only 9
If you think Colleen is high pitch, Nozawa Gohan is insanely high.
Colleen is a really talented voice actress. Favorite gohan and I grew up with the original.
Stephanie will NEVER be beaten as gohan! She brought him to life in such a way that can never be redone. stephanie owns the cell games gohan forever and always! 💯💯💯
1:55 gives me chills every time I hear it, and Cell's "Incredible"
I prefer Colleen for Kid Gohan and Stephanie for Teen Gohan and my favourite roles of Colleen are Luffy, Erza and Yaoyorozu
finally someone else agrees. When it comes to that iconic ssj2 scene i have to watch the original dub, kai dub just doesn't do it justice.
and Riza Hawkeye.
Your smoking crack if you think her luffy voice better someone else should’ve voice him like a man voice like English dub goku compared to his Japanese voice
@@majidaljaburi7870 I’d disagree, in the original funimation pilot dub in 2004 they had Eric Vale (Voice of Future trunks, Sanji) to voice luffy which sounded even worse compared to the current dub.
1:00 The raw power I feel in that scream, like the angst of a preteen that can't get their way in much of Gohan trying to control his fluctuating power! Sorry Colleen... you are good, but Stephanie is the 'chefs kiss'.
Stephanie is too damn iconic, her work during the cell saga put her on legendary status
Nobody is touching Stephanie when it comes to voicing DBZ characters. But Colleen is an incredible voice actress all around. She's in so many anime doing so many voices. Her range is awesome.
I think the reason Stephanie Nadoly works so well ( other than actually sounding like a young boy). Is the fact she just doesn't have many roles.
She's pretty much know for Gohan and Kid Goku and hasn't done much since.
Colleen on the other hand, has had a huge career of up to 300 different series, as well as playing Luffy. There's really nowhere she can go in terms of voices.
Colleen does do a better gohan (NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE😥😰)
So you have chosen death? 😠
@@knightfallprotocol dear God well I didn’t know I was supposed to choose Stephanie
@@knightfallprotocol So I choose Colleen And that’s enough to Have ur buttons pushed
For me its Nadolny as kid Goku and Clinkenbeard for kid Gohan. Nadolny fits Goku's rowdiness and more relaxed attitude whereas Clinkenbeard sounds more sensitive and anxious like kid Gohan.
Exactly my thoughts. I'm watching through Dragon Ball all the way through for the first time right now and I'm loving Stephanie as Goku, but after watching Kai and hearing Colleen as Gohan, as much as I want to revisit the original Z, it's going to be weird hearing Stephanie as Gohan. I grew up on Z, so Stephanie's voice is certainly nostalgic for me, but I think you're right, that Colleen's voice just more accurately captures Gohan's more sensitive nature.
Cell said it best when Stephanie does Gohan epic scream 2:01
stephanie is the best voice of gohan..that was so iconic & like chemistry for me..
Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I like Colleen for Gohan more. My reason being that Stephanie is Kid Goku to me.
Colleen Clinkenbeard is in my top 5 favorite VA's of all time. She sounds great as Gohan. And for some reason, as Gohan she sounds like Laura Stahl. Like A LOT like Laura Stahl. It can go either between Colleen and Stephanie but if I were to give the edge to one or the other, it goes to Stephanie. Clinkenbeard is more of a Erza person to me, because as Erza she truly shines. She's like Bryce Papenbrook with Eren, or Laura Stahl with Aiger, and even Johnny Yong Bosch with Ichigo. But Stephanie essentially made my childhood with DBZ. Nonetheless, both VA's are straight🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stephanie hands down. so iconic.
Nodalys goku & Clickenbeerds gohan for me personally. Grew up with og dragonball. Never liked the idea that gohan sounded just like kid goku when i got to z
Can you imagine Stephanie yelling like that?!
Stephanie is great don't get me wrong. But since I grew up with Kai, Colleen has always been Gohan for me. Stephanie will always be kid Goku. But Colleen takes the cake for Gohan
No she doesn't lol
Nope lol
@@Debbietosin4459 Didn’t realize the take was so hot you had to reply twice lol
@@AzraqShinji haha
Stephanie Nadolny is iconic and legendary!!!!!
It’s a bit of a hot take but I prefer Colleen cause whenver Stephanie talks as gohan I just hear kid goku but Colleen gives gohan his own identity kind of
Stephanie is the voice of Kid Goku. And Colleen is Gohan.
0:50 Good thing she did all that screaming for Luffy
Both are talented in their way, there are scenes I like Colleen's, and there are scenes where I prefer Stephanie's.
Colleen suits kid Gohan, Stephanie - teenage Gohan
Teen gohan is only 11

@@doveko2007 Cool
I can't believe this is even a question. Original all day every day.
I mean I grew up with Stephanie so of course I like hers better but Colleen is another voice I admire cause she knows how to yell without sounding constipated. And I like her for luffy too.
They’re both great but Stephanie is the one that I’ve come to cherish as Gohans voice. That transformation still gets me
It’s really hard to choose between them but DAMN Stephanie’s voice is ICONIC. But Colleen Clinkenbeard is a different breed.
I love Colleen as a VA but the entire time all I could hear was her going " I'm going to be King of the Saiyans!" or "Gum Gum Masenko Ha!"
Stephanie Nadolny, always.
She is the greatest Gohan of all-time
@@zfighter_45 so true
Man that last scream from Stephanie gave me chills just now
Stephanie Nadolny is the best Gohan of all-time. I wish Dragon Ball would bring her back.
No. Colleen suit Gohan better. Because he's a kid unlike the old one that sounded like a smoker.
@@dbzjack2669 you're a fucking dumbass
@@dbzjack2669 lol
You're wrong 😂@@dbzjack2669
I think Colleen sounds more like a kid, and I do like her performance better at times, Stephanie sounds asthmatic almost
nadolny all day. I watched the series from dragon ball up, and I loved that kid goku and gohan has the same voice actor. it was just meant to be.
Exactly. It connected them. You knew who that kid's dad was.
1:39 This right here. Main reason why I have always preferred Stephanie Nadolny as Teen Gohan.
Linked the clip to the comparison part for your convenience, rather than jumping straight to Nadolny.
Colleen Clinkenbeard is better than Stephanie Nadolny. How can people like Stephanie Nadolny gohan
Nostalgia is like a drug.

Im not too upset about kid/Teen Gohan. Im upset they changed Kid Goku’s voice as well. For the entire original DB dub until Goku became an adult, Kid Goku was voiced by Stephanie. Now they changed Kid Goku’s voice and they wanna pretend its not a big deal…
I prefer stephanie as goku than gohan tbh but hearing colleen as goku feels weird since I watched dragon ball and gt and played both as kid goku and gt goku in the video games
Exactly kid goku doesnt sound right being voiced by colleen
Stephanie all the way. Ill never forget watching that ssj2 transformation live with the ost and recording it on my vhs.. I probably re-watched that scene so many times. And on vhs, it wasn't nearly as easy as today. 😅 Still gives me chills.
Ssj2 transformation in bojack was badass as well.
Stephanie's "Gohan" sound freaking epic and gives Gohan not just a powerful impression but adds something mysterious to his friendly character too. Colleen's "Gohan" sounds too performed tbh.... There's nothing epic, powerful or mysterious about it.. In fact, it's sound like wining most of the time... Just annoying to listen to... Doesn't suit Gohan's character at all. But, that's just my opinion....

I prefer colleen, She actually fits gohan way better, an antisocial kid, who's forced to fight.
colleen fits gohan's voice more in my opinion but in terms of voice acting stephanie gives more goosebumps and feeling
For them long screams, Colleen is just so great at it. For dialogue, she’s cool.
I love Stephanie for her dialogue and some of her screams can get cool too.
It's honestly no contest. Same with Bulmas voice actress. Most of the original cast from Z are much better. I think there are only 2 changes I think worked, but they're such minor characters that I don't even know their names lol.
i agree its a no contest but the 1 change that i think was a good one is frieza's voice change, not that the old voice was bad but the new 1 just feels better
Stephanie is #1 and always will be!! She gave us more of an intense, real, seriousness on making gohan go Ssj2!! She’s the OG!!
I prefer Colleen. Her Gohan is far less annoying.
I grew up with Gohan being voiced by Stephanie, and for me, that is his canon voice. Nothing/no one else can compare.
Colleen as Luffy and Erza, but her voice as Gohan is okay
Im usually all for opinions but for Dragonballz voice acting is not negotiable for me, it will always be the original english voices, they made dbz famous in the west to begin with. So in this instance, you either like the original which according to comments is superior or youre just wrong.
0:52 A scream that tells us Gohan is powering up like never before. Decent delivery, I'd give a 7/10
1:00 A scream that tells us Gohan is powering up like never before because his anger has been pushed to the tipping point. The raw emotion in that scream... Chills man. absolute 10/10
