Crunchyroll surprised fans today by announcing that the English dubbed version of Dragon Ball Super, the latest installment in the popular Dragon Ball series, will be available on the streaming service starting March 5th. Previously, only the Japanese audio with subtitles was offered on Crunchyroll, making this the first time the English dub will be accessible on the platform.
According to the announcement from Crunchyroll, viewers in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa can now enjoy all episodes of the English dub. Other countries and regions will also have access to the series soon. The English dub features a talented cast of voice actors, including fan-favorites like Sean Schemmel as Goku and Christopher Sabat as Vegeta. Fans can look forward to watching serialized adaptations of films and original story arcs, such as the popular Tournament of Power arc.

Dragon Ball Super used to only be available in English on Funimation's streaming service. However, when Funimation was acquired by Crunchyroll and discontinued its service last month, fans were left wondering about the future of the show. Luckily, fans didn't have to wait too long to see the English dub of Dragon Ball Super on Crunchyroll.
For those who are new to the series, Dragon Ball Super takes place after the Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z, but before the series' final episodes. It follows Goku and Vegeta as they unlock powerful new forms like Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue, and face off against familiar foes like Frieza and Lord Beerus. The Dragon Ball universe expands with the introduction of a multiverse, leading to new challenges from other universes, as showcased in the Tournament of Power.
The Dragon Ball Super anime aired from 2015 to 2018, followed by film releases like Dragon Ball Super: Broly in 2018 and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero in 2022, while the manga continues to produce new chapters. Fans have been speculating about a potential return of the anime to adapt more manga content, but as of now, there is no confirmation of a continuation of Dragon Ball Super. Instead, a new series called Dragon Ball DAIMA is scheduled for release in 2024.
The English dubbed version of Dragon Ball Super will premiere on Crunchyroll at 1:00 PM Pacific Time on March 5 in the mentioned countries, and will be available in other regions soon. This marks the beginning of Funimation's content being added to Crunchyroll, with hopes of more series returning to the platform. For now, fans can enjoy the English dubbed version of Dragon Ball Super and revisit the thrilling battles the show has to offer.
