Additional Voices[]
Notes[]
- Christopher Sabat (a typically Dallas-based voice actor) voices Vaccine Man in the first episode. This was done as a casting gag, as Vaccine Man bears a strong resemblance to Piccolo (also voiced by Sabat) from Dragon Ball Z.
- In addition, Mike McFarland (another Dallas-based voice actor) also made a guest appearance as Carnage Kabuto in Episode 3.
- Marieve Herington who voiced Tornado of Terror / Tatsumaki in the show's first season was unable to reprise her role for the show's second season as she became a union-only voice actress and the dub was non-union, with Corina Boettger taking over as Tatsumaki.
- Due to Marc Diraison's scheduling conflicts, his roles as Bearded Worker and Pig God were replaced with David W. Collins and Brook Chalmers, respectively, for the second season.
- This features of 4kids cast reunion (Marc Diraison, Sam Riegel & Tara Sands)
