Trivia[]
- Unlike the first series which was recorded in Houston by ADV Films and the second series by Bang Zoom Entertainment, Reload Blast was recorded at FUNimation Entertainment. However, unlike Reload and Reload Gunlock where it was used an entirely different voice cast, few of the voice cast from previous ADV Films dub reprised their original roles in Reload Blast including David Matranga, Greg Ayres and Vic Mignogna. The only exceptions who didn't return are Illich Guardiola (As Sha Gojyo) and Braden Hunt (As Cho Hakkai), due to former was fired from FUNimation following his arrest for sexual assault of a child, while the latter has retired from professional voice acting.
