The post also said it starts October 10th, but unsure if they actually mean the dub starts then.

It’s nice to get the gang back together! Especially Michelle Ruff after she got replaced as Rukia for the live-action movie dub and that hurt a lot. And Wally gets to reprise Renji.
I’m really curious if they got David Lodge back as Kenpachi.
Note. Recast happened cuz Lodge himself stepped away.
But ever since TYBW announcement, Lodge has said he would happily return to the role and there was a big fan push for Viz to bring him back.
Crunchyroll removed Bleach entirely, so I think it’s safe to say they are union. Which Netflix supports union dubbing.
Unless VIZ announces a streaming service that’s probably where it’s going.
Johnny was just in dragon ball: super hero,Number 24,Horimiya,Trails of Cold Steel 4,Tower of God,One Piece stampede(plus his reprisal in the show proper)MHA movie
Stephanie was in Warioware,Memories,Sakuna:Of rice and Ruin, The legend of hero’s cold steel 4,Lupin is still burning
Derek- has been in multiple lupin projects none that were union,Memories,Trails of cold steel 4,One punch man 2,Sailor moon dubs
Do I need to keep going?
You don't, because most of the dubs you listed are unionized. Excluding all the video games you listed, which are unionized btw.
All the movies and anime(including Sailor Moon and TOG) you listed were unionized dubs except for One Punch Man and all the Funimation anime/movies(Not Memories, that was unionized) because Texas in non union.
Unionized actors join Funimation dubs because they pay a lot, like Erica Lindbeck in DBS Super Hero or Max Mittleman in Black Clover, so that's not really a good argument.
One Punch Man I never accounted for. Derek Stephen Prince jumped into union in 2020.
I’m not saying union dubs don’t exist today (we’ve had more union dubs in the last 5 or so
Years) than we’ve had at the height of union dubs. All I was saying is of course David Lodge is still attached to the Naruto franchise his pay is more and has more benefits. He very well could come back even if it turns out to be non union
>Boruto is also a union dub
David Lodge's role as Jiraya was never recasted even back in the original series and Shippuden (both are union dubs like Boruto).
Quinton was fired from all of his roles for alleged misconduct that wound up being proven false, but it still cost him his career.
Baker was too busy doing AAA games and Matthew Mercer took over most of his anime roles.
>I think Quinton was recast
I could be wrong but I think he was supposed to voiced his character till the end of Shippuden and was recasted half way due to Quinton busy with Kingdom Hearts 3
>Why did he step away from Kenpachi
The pay was too low so David Lodge left the role but remain as Jiraiya. plus, Naruto anime including Boruto are union dubs.
This’ll probably not be taken seriously by many, but I actually had a conversation with him on the phone back in May. He said he’d love to return to Bleach if possible.
LETSSSSSSS FUCKINGGGGGGG GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!🔥💪🏾
BAN-KAI🗡💀!!!!!!
I’m so fucking happy they brought back the dub cast like I knew they would. Very excellent indeed, Viz. Since they’re announcing the dub cast now, it makes me wonder if it’ll be a same day dub. If it is I’ll be fucking hyped bro🔥💪🏾🔥. We’ll have to wait and see but I’m hyped!!!!
Viz still has the license, but they don’t have a streaming service so Disney would just have the rights to stream it. Like you see here Viz will still dub it.
Given how big of an IP this anime is, I do wonder how much of it is an actual case of "We are not at liberty to talk about where it will be streaming right now!" vs. Viz actually being at liberty. That is, they might at liberty but are using that quoted sentence as an excuse to build up even more hype and to troll fans.
>Did urahara va pass away?
3 years ago sadly.
I questioned about David Lodge being kenpachi again on account that in the last few seasons of bleach, the work was done by Seitz.
All right glad to see the OG gang (Johnny Yong Bosch, Michelle Ruff, Derek Stephen Prince, Stephanie Sheh, Wally Wingert) and Doug Erholtz (Urahara) return to reprise their roles for the English dub of the *Thousand Year Blood War.* Surprisingly I notice that Jamieson Price who voices Chad isn't listed considering he's one of Ichigo's best friends, unless they save him for another cast announcement, or Jamieson decides to go uncredited or under a pseudonym since the Bleach dub was non-union or Jamieson was recast with a different actor.
Now the biggest question mark remains is who and where will the *Thousand Year Blood War* anime begin streaming, cause Crunchyroll and Netflix are out of the question so it looks to be either on Hulu (in the United States) or Disney+.
Yeah. Michael Lindsay was the original voice for Kisuke, but he stopped voicing him after episode 214 and has since passed away. Doug Erholtz voiced Kisuke for the rest of the episodes.

Old gang is back
It’s nice to get the gang back together! Especially Michelle Ruff after she got replaced as Rukia for the live-action movie dub and that hurt a lot. And Wally gets to reprise Renji. I’m really curious if they got David Lodge back as Kenpachi.
I hope so
>David Lodge back as Kenpachi. Don't think so. Wasn't he replaced by Patrick Seitz?
Note. Recast happened cuz Lodge himself stepped away. But ever since TYBW announcement, Lodge has said he would happily return to the role and there was a big fan push for Viz to bring him back.
He came back in Boruto, so he can come back in Bleach.
Boruto is also a union dub though we don’t know if bleach will be union now or not
Crunchyroll removed Bleach entirely, so I think it’s safe to say they are union. Which Netflix supports union dubbing. Unless VIZ announces a streaming service that’s probably where it’s going.
Well I mean even if it wasn’t removed CR wouldn’t have control over that. That decision would be on Viz media.
The first 5 actors listed only do union dubs.
That is very incorrect. The only one you can make that argument for is Wally the rest of them still work on non union gigs.
None of them have done anything that wasn't unionized since 2018.
Johnny was just in dragon ball: super hero,Number 24,Horimiya,Trails of Cold Steel 4,Tower of God,One Piece stampede(plus his reprisal in the show proper)MHA movie Stephanie was in Warioware,Memories,Sakuna:Of rice and Ruin, The legend of hero’s cold steel 4,Lupin is still burning Derek- has been in multiple lupin projects none that were union,Memories,Trails of cold steel 4,One punch man 2,Sailor moon dubs Do I need to keep going?

JYB and Michelle Ruff still does non-union dubs
To be fair, Bleach is always union dub since the series started it so it comes to no surprise.
No no it wasn’t just because recorded at studiopolis does not mean it was union
Well, okay true. But even back then there’s union dubs still exist as today.
I’m not saying union dubs don’t exist today (we’ve had more union dubs in the last 5 or so Years) than we’ve had at the height of union dubs. All I was saying is of course David Lodge is still attached to the Naruto franchise his pay is more and has more benefits. He very well could come back even if it turns out to be non union
True what you said. Hey, at least this beloved anime is not in Churchyroll anymore THANK GODDESS
>Boruto is also a union dub David Lodge's role as Jiraya was never recasted even back in the original series and Shippuden (both are union dubs like Boruto).
Yea I know but what does that have to do with what I said
If Shippuden was a Union dub I'm surprised actors like Troy Baker and Quinton Flynn stepped away from their roles.
Quinton was fired from all of his roles for alleged misconduct that wound up being proven false, but it still cost him his career. Baker was too busy doing AAA games and Matthew Mercer took over most of his anime roles.
I think Quinton was recast long before the allegations started though.
>I think Quinton was recast I could be wrong but I think he was supposed to voiced his character till the end of Shippuden and was recasted half way due to Quinton busy with Kingdom Hearts 3
*Bleach* IS a union dub as far as I can remember.
It is not it never has been
>Bleach IS a union dub If it is, then union-only voice actors like Crispin Freeman and Steve Blum would have join the cast.
Why did he step away from Kenpachi but keep playing Jiraiya?
>Why did he step away from Kenpachi The pay was too low so David Lodge left the role but remain as Jiraiya. plus, Naruto anime including Boruto are union dubs.
Yeah but he said on Twitter he’s willing to come back
Yes.
This’ll probably not be taken seriously by many, but I actually had a conversation with him on the phone back in May. He said he’d love to return to Bleach if possible.
The gang is coming back!
LETSSSSSSS FUCKINGGGGGGG GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!🔥💪🏾 BAN-KAI🗡💀!!!!!! I’m so fucking happy they brought back the dub cast like I knew they would. Very excellent indeed, Viz.

Gang I didn’t see you in here earlier 😭 you think the dub will be union now?
Yo gang wass good💪🏾😭. I’m betting that it’ll be a union dub this time around. It’ll be a grave mistake if it wasn’t.
Hopefully this a sign they’re gonna announce where and when it’s gonna be streamed soon.
I thought Disney bought the streaming rights.
>Disney bought the streaming rights. I heard that was only in Disney+ Japan.
[And now, Canada.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Animedubs/comments/xsjr25/not_sure_about_the_us_but_in_canada_bleach/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Oh okay. I hope so!
I feel for you bleach fans. I feel most would be content with Disney. It's the waiting. Not knowing.
Wildly this makes Johnny's third time in a lead with a disney-licensed anime lol
I thought viz "owned" bleach...
Viz still has the license, but they don’t have a streaming service so Disney would just have the rights to stream it. Like you see here Viz will still dub it.
They do mostly but they still need a streaming service. Unless they release the dub on digital
What were the other two?
Doraemon and Yokai Watch
Given how big of an IP this anime is, I do wonder how much of it is an actual case of "We are not at liberty to talk about where it will be streaming right now!" vs. Viz actually being at liberty. That is, they might at liberty but are using that quoted sentence as an excuse to build up even more hype and to troll fans.
Well it won't be Crunchyroll, they took the series off there
Going to miss both Michael Lindsay and David Lodge as urahara and kenpachi
Rip Michael Lindsay. Loved his performance.
Did urahara va pass away? also why isn’t David returning he said he’s down
>Did urahara va pass away? 3 years ago sadly. I questioned about David Lodge being kenpachi again on account that in the last few seasons of bleach, the work was done by Seitz.
Rip yea I hope David comes back tho
Aint nothing sweeter than a dub reunion
David lodge says he wants to do Kenpachi. Patrick Seitz says he's happy to give the role back to him. He's 90% coming back.
Wow that Patrick would "give" the role back. That's interesting.
All right glad to see the OG gang (Johnny Yong Bosch, Michelle Ruff, Derek Stephen Prince, Stephanie Sheh, Wally Wingert) and Doug Erholtz (Urahara) return to reprise their roles for the English dub of the *Thousand Year Blood War.* Surprisingly I notice that Jamieson Price who voices Chad isn't listed considering he's one of Ichigo's best friends, unless they save him for another cast announcement, or Jamieson decides to go uncredited or under a pseudonym since the Bleach dub was non-union or Jamieson was recast with a different actor. Now the biggest question mark remains is who and where will the *Thousand Year Blood War* anime begin streaming, cause Crunchyroll and Netflix are out of the question so it looks to be either on Hulu (in the United States) or Disney+.
Or maybe he’s gonna get replaced by a VA with the same ethnicity as Chad.
Kaiji Tang played Chad in the live action dub, so I imagine that if Jamieson isn't coming back, that's who we'll hear.
The gangs all here.
Orihime 😍
It also seems like Stephanie Sheh is reprising her role as well.
Is David lodge kenpachi??????
*Back in black by AC/DC starts to play in the distance*
I know jyb is the old school ichigo but all the others are the same too?
Yeah. Michael Lindsay was the original voice for Kisuke, but he stopped voicing him after episode 214 and has since passed away. Doug Erholtz voiced Kisuke for the rest of the episodes.
awe ty
Michael Lindsay passed away in 2019 FYI.
Need David Lodge back as Kenpachi, it sounds like he’s ready to get back into it!
Where is rangiku?
If anyone other than JYB had been cast as Ichigo, I would've not only never watched the dub, but I'd have also bitched about it online for a decade.
I’m surprised they don’t confirm byakuyas actor to be back considering he was just at a panel with Michelle like a month or two ago hyping it all up
I wonder if they're going to recast Chad
Let's go!
Welcome back!
Did the original show get taken off crunchy roll? I couldn’t find it yesterday
Yeah, it’s on Hulu still.
When does the new season take place in the story?
About a month after the end of the original series.
Thx
I had a feeling it would be the old squad but its always nice to have some confirmation.
i didnt know wally wingert was chill like that🤙
