To be fair, Oda personally picked all the English dub VA for the strawhats. So, they have Oda’s approval. Luffy definitely grows on you. You need to see multiple scenes with Luffy, Sanji, and Franky and it makes so much sense. Brook’s va is excellent and spot on. So, is Whitebeard’s in my opinion. Things aren’t gonna sound like they would in Japanese period.
Well most of the Straw Hats are voiced by the same ones as DB. The ones that stick out the most are Zoro, Sanji amd Usopp. Amd to me they fit them perfectly
Every time I hear Usopp in dub I just picture Lupin The Third because Sonny Strait did that same voice when dubbing the Lupin TV movies from the 1990s and the 2012 Lupin spin off series titled The Woman Called Fujiko Mine
The One Piece dub is actually surprisingly good compared to many dubs. Like Jack said though if you've watched the sub for hundreds of episodes the dub will always sound strange, and vice versa.
Tried to start with the dub and i just can't understand why people watch dubs. Every VA does the same type of contraction of their vocal cordes and I don't understand why. They all sound like they are either on crack or got one chromosome too many.
I don't know what everyone else is talking about. Luffy's dubbed voice sounds pretty good. It's how I imagine he's supposed to sound like. Too bad they didn't do Ace's dub, his voice is perfect.
Honestly 100% agree. I feel like most that complain about it, tend to be sub watchers that are used to the sub voice and don't like the change. While there are some that dislike the voice for their own reasons, which I 100% get. I mostly hear subbers complain about it the most Idk I always felt like it fits him and it's always weird to me when people compare his voice to chalkboard nail scratching
@@Blondie_117 not gonna lie, I seriously dislike his Sanji voice. To me, it feels as off as a dub could possibly be. Like it's reason enough for me to not watch the dub. Not shitting on anyone else's preference - it's just my own opinion. But yeah I really can't stand it lmao
dub luffy grows on you over time. as someone who watched dub till ep 700 i can say that luffys dubbed voice never annoyed angered or even confused me (other then at the beginning when i was still getting used to the voice)
Yeah, exactly. I started to watch the Sub only when there ways no Dub available. And honestly.. I dont understand why people make such a big deal from Dub, its just Dub bro.. I wouldnt say anything if it was straight up bad, but people who prefer Sub just seem anoying to me.
@@jx5b it's personal preference? i don't understand american accents that well and no dubbing of one piece is available in my native language. so japanese it is
@@The_BlObaccents? What the hell? I am literary from Czechia, leangue not even remotely similar to English and you are crying about some "accents" when i can understand it just fine? Also i dont think there is any significant accent to begin with.
I’m happy you guys liked Blackbeard’s voice. The actor unfortunately passed away a while back but his time playing Teech was so good, easily one of my favorite performances from the dub 👍🏻
I actually love Franky’s dub voice for exactly the reason you said. Yes it’s totally different, but both of them are extremely expressive and memorable in their own ways. If someone tried to mimic sub Franky’s voice in English, there’s simply no way it could live up to the original, it’s too unique.
Good way on putting it I agree I don’t watch subbed as much as dubbed so my opinion is biased however I feel after watching these characters for a long time their voices begin to grow on you
I watch Dub and not Sub but I checked out all their Sub voices and they just sound too high pitched for me, especially Franky's, but I'm sure if I actually watched it in that they would all grow on me, just wish Sub/Dub watchers didn't shit on each other, I just rather watch something in the way that I can legit understand instead of looking at subtitles, and I like their voices because it's how I'd imagine them
@@Calituck I hope there's another version or part 2 of this game because there are a lot of iconic character's I'd like to hear their reactions of: Ace, Brook, Whitebeard, Buggy, Vivi, Smoker, Garp, etc.
I think Patrick Seitz does a great job as Franky. A little fun fact about the English dub, During the process for selecting the English VAs, Oda was actually in charge of selecting who gets to voice each of the Straw Hats and a lot of other main characters based on how well he felt they fit the characters in English.Tho I often watch it dubbed cause it's easier to get into it when I can understand what's being said.
I think the clips that were chosen did a lot of these voices super dirty. Especially from early on in the show. Colleen’s Luffy is surprisingly good (she voiced Gohan in DBZ Kai) and only gets better throughout the series. Also Nami’s VA… that was not a good clip for her. Lol. I think if you were to watch full dubbed scenes you’d get a better picture. Also I prefer Franky’s dub voice to his sub voice. Idk it’s all personal preference at the end of the day
@@pithicusthen554 it was super chopped up and didn’t showcase the best part, imo, when she’s telling the village that it’s alright, and when she’s screaming at Luffy to leave. So yeah I think it was an unfortunate cut.
@@pithicusthen554 while i'm gonna be over-generous to speculate that the eng VA is still getting used to Nami's character since this is still the beginning arcs of OP. But yes, that IS a big fat FAIL of that scene. I can barely hear Nami's desperation from the eng dub, while in the sub, Nami is practically choking out the line "help me" between her crying.
I agree that most of the voices have much better examples, I honestly look back fondly on Sanji and Nami but I do think that they didn't do the best in some of the more iconic scenes both for the characters progression and in comparison to the Japanese voice actors performance. Totally agree that its a preference thing, I've seen my fair share of One Piece Dubbed but I will forever be a Sub enjoyer primarily. The best part of some of these is the nostalgia and the ability to relate to the actual words being said rather than their message. For example, there's the scene in skypea where Luffy is punching Enel with the Golden Rifle and says "Let it ring!". Its a pretty different scene and tone than the sub portrays but I will always look back on it as a pretty decent performance by the voice actor and an iconic/nostalgic moment for the show for me.
@@scotty2dadout Yep! I also think some things get lost in translation with dubs because there are some sayings/jokes that are 100% made for the Japanese population that doesn't have a great English equivalent. That being said, the One Piece localization team has always seemed to do a really good job, and they have fun with their translations and don't leave them super dry. Unfortunately the early stuff is just that--early. In both the dubbing scene and the art of English dubbing in general. I think it's all come a long way since those first few episodes aired. Nami's VA Luci Christian has been around forever. She's an awesome VA, but you can tell that 2007 was still fairly early in the dubbing community. It's so much easier to dub things now because Japanese studios gear themselves up to be able to broadcast their shows internationally now. Also the sub vs dub argument has always seemed asinine to me, because it is personal preference. I like watching dubbed because I like to multitask while I watch anime. If I'm drawing, I can't always read subtitles, so that's what works for me.
As someone who went from dub to sub I say give the voice actors a shot they do an amazing job and once you spend time with their voices they grow on you. I feel hearing them out of context doesn't do it justice; especially the Luffy help me part. Watching that part in english had me in tears for Nami and her struggles. I totally think you need to watch the full scene or even just watch up to that episode to get a better feel for the moment Because when I went from dub to sub I had the very same reaction as you guys did over the voices sounding weird or not right. Though after giving it some time and watching the sub more, I absolutely love both the dub and sub.
Bruh same I actually started with the dub a while back and yeah at first I was like "uhhhhh🤨🫥?" for dub luffy but I got used to it and saw the entire dub until Zou and had a similar reaction to the Japanese VAs when I had to switch but I got used to it too lol. Franky and Robin sub kinda did throw me off at first tbh. But I love both even when one version is better than the other. Honestly the dub VAs deserve more credit.
Luci Christian fucking killed it as Nami in “Luffy, help me” scene. Genuinely heart breaking. I think all of the voice actors for the Straw Hats are perfect, especially Robin and Ussop.
Luci Christian sounded like she screamed herself raw in that scene, like holy crapola, I could feel the devastation, grief and rage in her performance!
It may be because I’m used to it, but I like Luffy’s dub voice and I think the clips shown didn’t really showcase some of the better examples of it. Also, fun fact, the va also played young Gohan and Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist
I immediately connected to the dub voice cuz I watched hellish amounts of dbz and played nearly every dbz game I may even pick up the show someday I just gotta try looking past the goofy AF art style so I can get into that deep one piece lore pool
Patrick Seitz makes Franky sound like a pro wrestler which suits him perfectly. Franky is canonically American and he's just a wonderful character! I love this guy!
As someone who’s started watching one piece (finally nearing the 500 episode mark), I had to choose the dub just because I grew up on the DBZ dub and the same familiar voice actors are so nostalgic to me.
It is said that he did the final pick from a short list for the main cast, but there's no factual information around it anywhere. Where he did have a direct say was with OPLA, because he acts as Executive Producer, and his contract specifically stipulates that everything goes through him
Oda had to pick from a small list. These are not the top picks. Its whatever Funimation could offer back then. If One Piece started its dub today, the cast would be better because there's more options.
@@Joybuzzahzidk man the dub is pretty great as is. All I watch are dubs and I can’t really think of any VAs that could replace or match the energy of any of the straw hats tbh.
@@Joybuzzahz I agree with that first part, but I disagree with that last part. Sabat in my opinion does a great job in capturing the serious and focused nature of Zoro.
as someone who watched the first *_700_* episodes of the series in dub, its definitely a matter of getting used to them, my favorite dub voice is franky tho by far because he puts his god damn all into yelling "SUUUUUUUUUPEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!"
after meeting Franky in dub and learning it was Patrick Seitz, I was instantly sold. it's too perfect. Usopp, too, has a lot of range, so this was a weird choice of dub sample, he does not usually sound so stone cold. also, this video not including Brook clips is criminal, he is such a delight in the dub.
I've watched the dub since episode 1 and always like the voices Also if you want a good showcase of Dub Luffy watch the fight against Rob Lucci, the VA's lungs must of shattered, that battle cry was amazing.
I definitely agree. I feel like the voice can feel odd when you 1st hear them especially when you are used to how they sound in another language but after time you get used to them and can like how the voice actors voice their lines. It was how I felt when going from the dub to sub. Felt the voice were weird and off. but after spending time with them it feels so right with the characters.
@@franklinreed7614 he sounds like ash ketchum (who’s a ten year old). Even if luffy has a goofy personality, he’s 20. Get that? 20. Not to mention the va just sounds so bad in serious scenes too. Especially when it comes to gears
It’s interesting to see this perspective. Me personally I usually watch anime dubbed and same goes for One Piece. Really interesting to hear you didn’t think Sanji’s voice fit his character
Time skip Luffy is definitely better and you can tell he sounds older. Yes his voice is still very similar but the fact that she pulled of a great change like that is awesome 😎
It's funny because Zoro is voiced by Chris Sabat, who also voices Vegeta/Piccolo in Dragon Ball and you can totally hear some of that in the dub lol Usopp is voiced by Sonny Strait who voices Krillin. And Sanji is voiced by Eric Vale who voices Future Trunks.
@@royalfun1031 what are the directors supposed to do when someone dies? Obviously that voice actor needs to be honored, but the show is still going and a new actor needs to be selected.
Honestly it really felt like a "huh?" Comment to make. They do realize that one piece is wacky and goofy and luffy is a combination of those two traits right?
The dub voices grow on you. That being said, Luffy's VA was definitely more fitting for pre time skip as he wasn't as mature back then. Post time skip Luffy understands a little more of the dangers of the world. I think they definitely made a good attempt to grow Luffy through the English VA after the time skip but theres something that still feels like a naive teenager. Sonny Strait is goated as Usopp.
As a person that has watched both English Dub and Japanese Dub. I love both of the dubs, to me both are really iconic. Let’s be honest Stephanie Young’s Robin is beyond fantastic.
You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this!! Please please do a part 2 of this or if it’s possible try and find someone who watches dub and make them guess the sub but either way please continue this!!!
Personally, I really love the eng dubbed version.. It does have its issues, but so does the sub. In some ways dub is superior to sub and vice versa.. but both are equally good to me.. 😌 We need part 2 though, guys. There are so many iconic characters you need to listen to their dub version.. 🤩
When I first watched the show, I found it kinda weird, but it grew on me eventually.. 😅 Very unpopular opinion, but I prefer it over the japanese one.. 😅😅😅
Its definitely better than the sub. Tbh, I dont even really like one piece all that much but I can acknowledge that it has some legends in the VA community. I think its superior to the sub
i love frankys dub voice its literally exactly how i imagined him im pretty fond of it cus his dub is the first voice ive heard of him (i had subs on too for more accurate translation)
YESSS! I don't know what they were talking about for Luffy and Zoro, they sound almost identical to the sub but I'll admit that Crocodile and Aokiji were a little on the weaker side
Yeah they took the early clips for the East Blue straw hats and most of them were one-off lines then they go and choose the best and most iconic line Robin had in dub, like of course they're going to like her the best 😂
Robin is easily the best voiced Straw Hat with Brook. But I think the clips that were used for Luffy, didn't really show how much effort his voice actress (Colleen Clinkenbeard), puts into him. Anything with Luffy screaming his lungs out she nails better than anyone else. Jet Gatling is easily one of her best scenes with Luffy. That's always my number one scene to point at when I want one of her best performances. Also she kills it during Marineford. While I think Colleen can miss sometimes, it's honestly fairly rare. She loves him more than any other role she has played.
I appreciate the craft when it comes to dubbing and the funimation cast still keeps it up. I'm used to hearing them at this point but it fueled my OP obsession and I can equally watch in both dub and sub.
Luffy’s english dub voice is actually really fitting for his age, and it develops as the show goes on. I started watching the sub version when I was 9 years old, and there weren’t that many episodes of One Piece out (like 50-70 episodes). I’m 31 years old now, and I’ve grown to like the dub more than the sub because I can watch every detail of the anime; instead of reading while watching, and only catching glimpses of it. Also, When you said that it’s not some kid’s cartoon and Luffy sounded too immature and “uncool”, I laughed so loud! Luffy is very childish, and I just think they did his voice perfectly in the dub. Fun fact: the voice actor who does Luffy’s English dubbed voice is a woman, and she also does kid Gohan’s voice in DBZ!
Luffy’s dub voice really suits his character and gets better over time imo, that audio clip you used of him was trash though, definitely not the best example😂
It doesnt suit his character at all. He sounds goofy as hell when he’s serious, and when hes funny it KIND OF fits. Kind of. He sounds like ash ketchum (who is 11 years old).
@@duckwithabs4537 oh i thought oda's vision was to make a goofy main character hence the funny rubber abilitys and goofball personality. guess i was wrong
As someone who started watching One Piece dubbed back in 2011 (This was one of my first anime experiences outside of DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho which I think have overall pretty decent dubs) I think you can really tell who has more experience being an anime voice actor. Usopp and Zoro in particular stand out to me since they both voice characters in DBZ, Zoro is Vegeta/Piccolo and Ussopp is Krillin. To some extent I think Sanji and Nami will grow on you as well. That being said, I think your guys' point about it sounding like a Saturday morning cartoon voice rather than something more serious really holds true in the way a lot of western voice actors portray anime character. Theres this level of insincerity that I think most people get in the form of cringe when watching anime for that reason. Side note, something that I really like is that the English voice actor for both Krillin in DBZ and Usopp in One Piece are the same person and the Japanese voice actors for both Krillin and Luffy are the same person. Completely unrelated I'm sure but being someone who started out as a kid watching DBZ it just makes One Piece that much more connected to my nostalgia for anime.
As much as I can appreciate the sub for being iconic, I love the One Piece dub. I think it absolutely nails One Piece's entire tonal range (dramatic, laid-back, completely silly, etc...) and aside from a couple minor characters, I think the casting and direction over the years has been on-point. It's also such a rarity to have a dub cast work on a show this long and remain consistent, and I just think that's pretty special. And just as there are plenty of sub moments that are ingrained in my brain, there are a bunch of moments from the dub that outshine the original for me. Luffy's Jet Gatling scene during Enies Lobby still absolutely gets my jaw on the floor (as do a bunch of Colleen's big screams in general but that's the one if I have to pick just one).
Naah the dub like heisu said, It seems as if it were a cartoon, Luffy's voice defends me but it still irritates me HAHAH, and it may be because it's his language, but my native language is Spanish and I can't stand Spanish voices either, the Japanese ones are stronger
Being someone who watched Dub first without any background on how the Japanese voices are, I actually think Luffys voice fits him pretty well. Saying it sounds too childish doesn't make sense because canonically he's only a teenager and has a very childish personality (ps. when the intense moments hit like in marineford he sounds very different and more serious), also if you look at Franky's character design, his voice actually matches pretty well. I think people only dog on it so much based on their attachment to the Original VAs and don't look at it objectively. If you look at it on its own its not bad at all.
Luffy is 19-20. Im pretty certain most people who have heard 20 year olds know that they don’t sound like ash ketchum. And yes he’s goofy, but that doesnt mean he has to sound like a cartoon show protagonist. And big scenes (especially gear 4) are a big fumble for me in dub.
exactly, dubbed versions are usually the most superior as the voice actors are matched to the characters, rather than whomever is just available as with subbed. Another aspect is that western voices tend to be deeper and easier to understand, whereas eastern voices tend to be higher pitch. So when it comes to epic moments and a character is being serious, whether being cold and calculated or shouting, the deeper voices portray those aspects more accurately than the higher pitches.
They say Luffy’s dub voice sounds too childish? Are they not aware that Luffy in the Japanese dub is voiced by a woman doing a pre-pubescent boy voice? Basically a child like voice? Did they not even watch the show subbed properly? I haven’t but even I’m aware of how Luffy sounds in both versions.
@@kaylemathewcomendador6964 luffy in japanese definitely does not sound like a pre-pubescent boy 😭plus in serious situations he actually sounds serious
@@JackTheBus I'M SERIOUS the dub voice fits Franky more. Sub is good because it's Bon Clay and his voice actor fits that character type very well. But I've always pictured Franky sounding like one of those American "cool guys" if that makes any sense. When I watched the anime for the first time Frankie's voice was genuinely jarring to me.
as a dub watcher I’m so glad Colleen was casted as luffy if you see her other works that woman has RANGEEEE .. I think she makes a perfect luffy. she encapsulated luffy’s goofy side in her voice. she’s on top for me.
I started my one piece journey about 3 and a half months ago and I'm watching the dub because 1, i like to give dubs a chance and 2, I recognized a lot of the VAs from a lot of shows I've watched. I'm currently on ep 303 and i have loved every second of it. I don't care what anyone says, the dub is phenomenal. The humor hits every time, the emotion hits "cough coughRobin cough", and i think every voice fits every character.
I think for anyone who's been watching the subs since the beginning any dub is going to sound weird, especially just picking a random scene out of context. One Piece is a long-ass show, so it's pretty much impossible to not have the voices of the major characters drilled into your mind. It's kind of like how a lot of western Dragon Ball fans heard the Funimation voices for years so the original voiceover is just going to hit different. Like, Sabat's Vegeta voice will always be tied to the character in my mind because it's just way too distinct.
I'd like to see another one of these sometime, since you didn't cover some great dub takes like Vivi, Doctorine, Kokoro, Spandam, Brook, and Gekko Moria
@@fidelgarcia2224 Oh yeah 100% Buggy is great! Oh! And Foxy! Gotta do Foxy too! Let's also throw in Kaku, Miss Merry Christmas, Kumadori, and Tashigi. ...Oh! And Koby! Can't forget about our boy.
The voice itself is always killling it tbh, I don’t understand how people don’t get that Luffy is fundamentally a silly ass character, in a great way!!! ESPECIALLY after Gear 5
Since I was introduced to One Piece via 4kids and I read the manga while watching both sub and dub nowadays, it has all blended together for me. Both Frankys sound like Franky, and both Luffys sound like Luffy.
i love watching the dub for fun just because i recognize the voices a lot better and i can just imagine the character i recognize the voice from saying these lines yk? like zoro’s va also voices all might, usopp’s va voices korosensei, and sanji’s va voices yuki sohma (which you can’t really tell but it’s still really cool)

A little fun fact about the English dub, During the process for selecting the English VAs, Oda was actually in charge of selecting who gets to voice each of the Straw Hats and a lot of other main characters based on how well he felt they fit the characters in English.Tho I often watch it dubbed cause it's easier to get into it when I can understand what's being said.
I think the clips that were chosen did a lot of these voices super dirty. Especially from early on in the show. Colleen’s Luffy is surprisingly good (she voiced Gohan in DBZ Kai) and only gets better throughout the series. Also Nami’s VA… that was not a good clip for her. Lol. I think if you were to watch full dubbed scenes you’d get a better picture.
Also I prefer Franky’s dub voice to his sub voice. Idk it’s all personal preference at the end of the day
That was one of Nami’s most iconic scenes lmao. If showing that “did her dirty” then that’s on the voice actor and she did a bad job.
@@pithicusthen554 it was super chopped up and didn’t showcase the best part, imo, when she’s telling the village that it’s alright, and when she’s screaming at Luffy to leave. So yeah I think it was an unfortunate cut.
@@pithicusthen554 while i'm gonna be over-generous to speculate that the eng VA is still getting used to Nami's character since this is still the beginning arcs of OP.
But yes, that IS a big fat FAIL of that scene. I can barely hear Nami's desperation from the eng dub,
while in the sub, Nami is practically choking out the line "help me" between her crying.
I agree that most of the voices have much better examples, I honestly look back fondly on Sanji and Nami but I do think that they didn't do the best in some of the more iconic scenes both for the characters progression and in comparison to the Japanese voice actors performance. Totally agree that its a preference thing, I've seen my fair share of One Piece Dubbed but I will forever be a Sub enjoyer primarily. The best part of some of these is the nostalgia and the ability to relate to the actual words being said rather than their message. For example, there's the scene in skypea where Luffy is punching Enel with the Golden Rifle and says "Let it ring!". Its a pretty different scene and tone than the sub portrays but I will always look back on it as a pretty decent performance by the voice actor and an iconic/nostalgic moment for the show for me.
@@scotty2dadout Yep! I also think some things get lost in translation with dubs because there are some sayings/jokes that are 100% made for the Japanese population that doesn't have a great English equivalent. That being said, the One Piece localization team has always seemed to do a really good job, and they have fun with their translations and don't leave them super dry.
Unfortunately the early stuff is just that--early. In both the dubbing scene and the art of English dubbing in general. I think it's all come a long way since those first few episodes aired. Nami's VA Luci Christian has been around forever. She's an awesome VA, but you can tell that 2007 was still fairly early in the dubbing community. It's so much easier to dub things now because Japanese studios gear themselves up to be able to broadcast their shows internationally now.
Also the sub vs dub argument has always seemed asinine to me, because it is personal preference. I like watching dubbed because I like to multitask while I watch anime. If I'm drawing, I can't always read subtitles, so that's what works for me.
I actually like Luffy’s dub voice, it sounds like a cheese grater and I think it suits him very well
Giving me early era Ash Ketchum vibes
@@juliofigueroa5567 because it is
imo it sopunds better than the dub, the dub is too high pitched
@@copperbladegamingyt8368 it's actually kid gohan
The VA definitely has some shoes to fill, since it's LUFFY for god's sake, but I think it's not really that bad of a job
8:45 Ayooooo whats that on the top left corner 😂😂
As someone who went from dub to sub I say give the voice actors a shot they do an amazing job and once you spend time with their voices they grow on you. I feel hearing them out of context doesn't do it justice; especially the Luffy help me part. Watching that part in english had me in tears for Nami and her struggles. I totally think you need to watch the full scene or even just watch up to that episode to get a better feel for the moment
Because when I went from dub to sub I had the very same reaction as you guys did over the voices sounding weird or not right.
Though after giving it some time and watching the sub more, I absolutely love both the dub and sub.
Bruh same I actually started with the dub a while back and yeah at first I was like "uhhhhh🤨🫥?" for dub luffy but I got used to it and saw the entire dub until Zou and had a similar reaction to the Japanese VAs when I had to switch but I got used to it too lol. Franky and Robin sub kinda did throw me off at first tbh. But I love both even when one version is better than the other. Honestly the dub VAs deserve more credit.
Luci Christian fucking killed it as Nami in “Luffy, help me” scene. Genuinely heart breaking. I think all of the voice actors for the Straw Hats are perfect, especially Robin and Ussop.
Luci Christian sounded like she screamed herself raw in that scene, like holy crapola, I could feel the devastation, grief and rage in her performance!
It may be because I’m used to it, but I like Luffy’s dub voice and I think the clips shown didn’t really showcase some of the better examples of it. Also, fun fact, the va also played young Gohan and Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist
Same at the start of one piece i hated the voice but than i started tolerating it
All in all I think the dub is actually pretty good
Also Erza Scarlet
But did it nail the skypie song tho?
I immediately connected to the dub voice cuz I watched hellish amounts of dbz and played nearly every dbz game I may even pick up the show someday I just gotta try looking past the goofy AF art style so I can get into that deep one piece lore pool
This was really entertaining as someone who actually watches dub. While I immediately know who it is I get to see your reactions and wild guesses lol
I actually really love Franky's Dub I think its better than the sub and fits him PERFECTLY
Fits his appearance definitely especially considering Oda said he would be American. The sub is so iconic though.
Patrick Seitz makes Franky sound like a pro wrestler which suits him perfectly. Franky is canonically American and he's just a wonderful character! I love this guy!
yeah the super in english is so good
Yup
bro u on crack or sumin. the "SUPERRRRR" in sub is uncomparable.
As someone who’s started watching one piece (finally nearing the 500 episode mark), I had to choose the dub just because I grew up on the DBZ dub and the same familiar voice actors are so nostalgic to me.
Gosh we need a part 2! Smoker’s and Pauley’s dub VA are also really good. This was entertaining to watch.
And they haven't got to mr. YOHOHOHO yet.
Also Buggys voice
I've heard that Oda actually helped select the English VAs so that he could help guide them on who would be best suited for each strawhat.
It is said that he did the final pick from a short list for the main cast, but there's no factual information around it anywhere. Where he did have a direct say was with OPLA, because he acts as Executive Producer, and his contract specifically stipulates that everything goes through him
Oda had to pick from a small list. These are not the top picks. Its whatever Funimation could offer back then. If One Piece started its dub today, the cast would be better because there's more options.
@@Joybuzzahzidk man the dub is pretty great as is. All I watch are dubs and I can’t really think of any VAs that could replace or match the energy of any of the straw hats tbh.
@@Joybuzzahz I agree with that first part, but I disagree with that last part. Sabat in my opinion does a great job in capturing the serious and focused nature of Zoro.
And for performance control after 4kids screw up the first attempt of the dub.
As a person who’s only watched one piece with dub, i feel oddly offended that these two are criticizing the characters that way
Same bro, the dub is peak
I watch sub, it’s more fun to read cuz sometimes the voices don’t fit with the facial expressions on dub
as someone who watched the first *_700_* episodes of the series in dub, its definitely a matter of getting used to them, my favorite dub voice is franky tho by far because he puts his god damn all into yelling "SUUUUUUUUUPEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!"
What I find kind of funny is that he also voices Jiren from DBS
SUUUUUUUUUUUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Frankys shirt is the highlight of 2023 so far 🫡🔥🔥🔥

after meeting Franky in dub and learning it was Patrick Seitz, I was instantly sold. it's too perfect. Usopp, too, has a lot of range, so this was a weird choice of dub sample, he does not usually sound so stone cold.
also, this video not including Brook clips is criminal, he is such a delight in the dub.
U people r wild. It sounds horrible, with no emotion or anything 😂😭 ruins every scene in dub
@@AvEnGeD7X238 Yeah stop talking out yo ass simple
I love Franky's dub VA. I started watching OP in the English version, so it was total whiplash hearing his Japanese counterpart lmao
I've watched the dub since episode 1 and always like the voices
Also if you want a good showcase of Dub Luffy watch the fight against Rob Lucci, the VA's lungs must of shattered, that battle cry was amazing.
same I feel the Sub voices don't quite suit them in my opinion
They put the worst Luffy voice line against the best ussop voice line
"Ace cant overheat....cause hes too hot"
As an hard Ace simp, i appove of this message
Akainu overheated him
I actually legit love the dub vas. they legit sound amazing one you hear them in the proper context.
@derrick sheltra Luffy's is one of the best if anything. Colleen Clinkenbeard is probably the best choice for him.
I definitely agree. I feel like the voice can feel odd when you 1st hear them especially when you are used to how they sound in another language but after time you get used to them and can like how the voice actors voice their lines.
It was how I felt when going from the dub to sub. Felt the voice were weird and off. but after spending time with them it feels so right with the characters.
Not luffy
@@duckwithabs4537 is there a legitimate reason or are you just dub hating?
@@franklinreed7614 he sounds like ash ketchum (who’s a ten year old). Even if luffy has a goofy personality, he’s 20. Get that? 20. Not to mention the va just sounds so bad in serious scenes too. Especially when it comes to gears
It’s interesting to see this perspective. Me personally I usually watch anime dubbed and same goes for One Piece. Really interesting to hear you didn’t think Sanji’s voice fit his character
Whitebeard's is actually very good in the dub, particularly when he announces before his death "The One Piece is real!"
I really like luffy's english voice, like the voice actress is amazing and I feel like she captured both the changes in the pre and post timeskip.
YEEEEES ❤
Time skip Luffy is definitely better and you can tell he sounds older. Yes his voice is still very similar but the fact that she pulled of a great change like that is awesome 😎
Also it's literally kid/teen gohan voice
@@Greenapple30 I thought it was trunks
Crazy how she managed to do the last arc of the pre-time skip while she was pregnant. All those screams 😱

Bro jack I PROMISE you, every dub character in one piece is actually good. Especially Sanji, that was a terrible clip to put. the actor nails him
Lol they picked like the first time the actors voiced their respective characters.
I’d love to see a part two where they react to Brook, Buggy, Doflamingo, Big Mom, Roger, Shanks, Whitebeard, and Kaido in the dub
9:35 That is Lloyd Garmadon. Nothing you can say will ever convince me that that’s not Lloyd Garmadon.
Yeah like some people have said, the original creator of One Piece Eiichiro Oda himself picked all the English Dub Straw Hats.

"Luffy's voice sounds like the main character of a cartoon, not an anime."
Gear 5: ...
Honestly it really felt like a "huh?" Comment to make. They do realize that one piece is wacky and goofy and luffy is a combination of those two traits right?
The dub voices grow on you. That being said, Luffy's VA was definitely more fitting for pre time skip as he wasn't as mature back then. Post time skip Luffy understands a little more of the dangers of the world. I think they definitely made a good attempt to grow Luffy through the English VA after the time skip but theres something that still feels like a naive teenager.
Sonny Strait is goated as Usopp.

If memory serves, funimation ran the English voices by team in Japan and listened to their feedback, such as make Luffy's voice more raspy.
I do think every voice matches each character for dub
Yeah, I think they did a spot on job for the casting
@@OmarManta well oda himself picked stawhats dub va, so it had to be good, i believe in oda
Me too. Probably because the clips are too short to assess how good there are. It's like watching compilation of out of context video.
YESSS! I don't know what they were talking about for Luffy and Zoro, they sound almost identical to the sub but I'll admit that Crocodile and Aokiji were a little on the weaker side
@@araizmujtaba he picked within funimation so not like he had much to pick
big problem for the clips is they went for early clips since of course the voices won't be that good at the start
Yeah they took the early clips for the East Blue straw hats and most of them were one-off lines then they go and choose the best and most iconic line Robin had in dub, like of course they're going to like her the best 😂
Robin is easily the best voiced Straw Hat with Brook. But I think the clips that were used for Luffy, didn't really show how much effort his voice actress (Colleen Clinkenbeard), puts into him. Anything with Luffy screaming his lungs out she nails better than anyone else. Jet Gatling is easily one of her best scenes with Luffy. That's always my number one scene to point at when I want one of her best performances. Also she kills it during Marineford. While I think Colleen can miss sometimes, it's honestly fairly rare. She loves him more than any other role she has played.
Fun fact, Luffy is voiced by the same VA as kid Gohan in DBZ Kai, zorro is voiced by piccolo and usopp is krillin
You forgot that Sanji is Trunks.
@@titanplayer500 how did I never notice that
@@indicaking I don't know how you did but, it happens. I'm guilty of it myself but, I'm deaf (not completely) so that's why I'm guilty of it.
The "I wouldn't hunt a fly with a cannon" thingy reminded me so much of Mihawk's live action "I don't hunt rabbits with a cannon" 😂😂
I appreciate the craft when it comes to dubbing and the funimation cast still keeps it up. I'm used to hearing them at this point but it fueled my OP obsession and I can equally watch in both dub and sub.
Luffy’s english dub voice is actually really fitting for his age, and it develops as the show goes on. I started watching the sub version when I was 9 years old, and there weren’t that many episodes of One Piece out (like 50-70 episodes). I’m 31 years old now, and I’ve grown to like the dub more than the sub because I can watch every detail of the anime; instead of reading while watching, and only catching glimpses of it.
Also, When you said that it’s not some kid’s cartoon and Luffy sounded too immature and “uncool”, I laughed so loud! Luffy is very childish, and I just think they did his voice perfectly in the dub. Fun fact: the voice actor who does Luffy’s English dubbed voice is a woman, and she also does kid Gohan’s voice in DBZ!
I feel like his voice actress is pretty prolific. I hear it everywhere. Also how did they not notice zoro os voiced by Vegeta?
THE FACT HE WAS WEARING A FRANKY SHIRT 😭
Luffy’s dub voice really suits his character and gets better over time imo, that audio clip you used of him was trash though, definitely not the best example😂
It doesnt suit his character at all. He sounds goofy as hell when he’s serious, and when hes funny it KIND OF fits. Kind of. He sounds like ash ketchum (who is 11 years old).
@@duckwithabs4537 oda himself picked luffy’s va

@@duckwithabs4537 oh i thought oda's vision was to make a goofy main character hence the funny rubber abilitys and goofball personality. guess i was wrong
As someone who started watching One Piece dubbed back in 2011 (This was one of my first anime experiences outside of DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho which I think have overall pretty decent dubs) I think you can really tell who has more experience being an anime voice actor. Usopp and Zoro in particular stand out to me since they both voice characters in DBZ, Zoro is Vegeta/Piccolo and Ussopp is Krillin. To some extent I think Sanji and Nami will grow on you as well. That being said, I think your guys' point about it sounding like a Saturday morning cartoon voice rather than something more serious really holds true in the way a lot of western voice actors portray anime character. Theres this level of insincerity that I think most people get in the form of cringe when watching anime for that reason.
Side note, something that I really like is that the English voice actor for both Krillin in DBZ and Usopp in One Piece are the same person and the Japanese voice actors for both Krillin and Luffy are the same person. Completely unrelated I'm sure but being someone who started out as a kid watching DBZ it just makes One Piece that much more connected to my nostalgia for anime.
Zoro being spelt Zorro made get stage 4078 brain rot cancer in my left shin 6:45
As much as I can appreciate the sub for being iconic, I love the One Piece dub. I think it absolutely nails One Piece's entire tonal range (dramatic, laid-back, completely silly, etc...) and aside from a couple minor characters, I think the casting and direction over the years has been on-point. It's also such a rarity to have a dub cast work on a show this long and remain consistent, and I just think that's pretty special.
And just as there are plenty of sub moments that are ingrained in my brain, there are a bunch of moments from the dub that outshine the original for me. Luffy's Jet Gatling scene during Enies Lobby still absolutely gets my jaw on the floor (as do a bunch of Colleen's big screams in general but that's the one if I have to pick just one).
Pftt... Nope!
Naah the dub like heisu said, It seems as if it were a cartoon, Luffy's voice defends me but it still irritates me HAHAH, and it may be because it's his language, but my native language is Spanish and I can't stand Spanish voices either, the Japanese ones are stronger
The dub makes buggy sound more cartoonish than he already is, and that's further ridiculing the character just by choosing a bad voice.
@@onepeace9632 Very good argument
@Kenzo idk I watch Spanish BC and it wasn't that bad ...there's one for Op though?

that, I WANT TO LIVE!!!!” gives me shivers every time i hear it.
I watch One Piece in both dubb and sub, it's not hard for me to switch between them
Same here tbh
Being someone who watched Dub first without any background on how the Japanese voices are, I actually think Luffys voice fits him pretty well. Saying it sounds too childish doesn't make sense because canonically he's only a teenager and has a very childish personality (ps. when the intense moments hit like in marineford he sounds very different and more serious), also if you look at Franky's character design, his voice actually matches pretty well. I think people only dog on it so much based on their attachment to the Original VAs and don't look at it objectively. If you look at it on its own its not bad at all.
Luffy is 19-20. Im pretty certain most people who have heard 20 year olds know that they don’t sound like ash ketchum. And yes he’s goofy, but that doesnt mean he has to sound like a cartoon show protagonist. And big scenes (especially gear 4) are a big fumble for me in dub.
Im fine with franky’s va though
exactly, dubbed versions are usually the most superior as the voice actors are matched to the characters, rather than whomever is just available as with subbed. Another aspect is that western voices tend to be deeper and easier to understand, whereas eastern voices tend to be higher pitch. So when it comes to epic moments and a character is being serious, whether being cold and calculated or shouting, the deeper voices portray those aspects more accurately than the higher pitches.
They say Luffy’s dub voice sounds too childish? Are they not aware that Luffy in the Japanese dub is voiced by a woman doing a pre-pubescent boy voice? Basically a child like voice? Did they not even watch the show subbed properly? I haven’t but even I’m aware of how Luffy sounds in both versions.

Luffy’s dub voice brings out a primal rage in me that I can’t explain.
I started my one piece journey about 3 and a half months ago and I'm watching the dub because 1, i like to give dubs a chance and 2, I recognized a lot of the VAs from a lot of shows I've watched. I'm currently on ep 303 and i have loved every second of it. I don't care what anyone says, the dub is phenomenal. The humor hits every time, the emotion hits "cough coughRobin cough", and i think every voice fits every character.

if u start with dub it just sounds better than sub, I’m guessing that’s the same the other way around?
I think for anyone who's been watching the subs since the beginning any dub is going to sound weird, especially just picking a random scene out of context. One Piece is a long-ass show, so it's pretty much impossible to not have the voices of the major characters drilled into your mind. It's kind of like how a lot of western Dragon Ball fans heard the Funimation voices for years so the original voiceover is just going to hit different. Like, Sabat's Vegeta voice will always be tied to the character in my mind because it's just way too distinct.
I'd like to see another one of these sometime, since you didn't cover some great dub takes like Vivi, Doctorine, Kokoro, Spandam, Brook, and Gekko Moria
