Notes[]
- For the English language dub, FUNimation contracted the majority of the dubbing to New Generation Pictures in Los Angeles so that the voice actors for the original anime's dub could reprise their roles, whilst DuArt was kept for characters who were introduced in the prior series, resulting in a bi-coastal dub.
