- However, some voice actors from the dub of the 2001 series did not reprise their roles for the 2021 anime series and were replaced by new voice actors:
- Abby Trott and Erica Mendez replaced Sebastian Arcelus as Yoh and Hao Asakura respectively due to the latter's retirement from dubbing in 2008 and becoming a Mainstream actor both on Broadway and On-Camera respectively.
- Laura Stahl, Bernhard Forcher, and Sean Rohani replaced Andrew Rannells as Tao Ren, Luchist Lasso, and Ponchi respectively due to the latter's retirement from dubbing in 2008 and becoming a Mainstream actor both on Broadway and On-Camera respectively.
- Laura Stahl also replaces Tara Sands as Opacho.
- Kaiji Tang, D.C. Douglas, and Aleks Le replaced Sean Schemmel as Amidamaru, Ryu, and Nichrom respectively.
- Sean however did wanted to return and briefly recorded lines for Amidamaru as shown in the initial English dub trailer released back in July 2021 before his lines and voice were replaced by Kaiji Tang at the last minute.
- Bernhard Forcher replaces Frederick B. Owens as Bason.
- Keith Silverstein replaces Eric Stuart as Conchi.

- Keith Silverstein, Jodi Carlisle, and Ayman Samman replaced Ted Lewis as Mikihisa Asakura, Goldva and Anatel Pokki respectively.
- Erika Harlacher and Tinsel Korey replaced Erica Schroeder as Keiko Asakura, Matilda Matisse (only in episode 13), and Lilirara respectively.
- Erika Harlacher also replaces Michelle Newman as Meene Montgomery.
- Erika surprisingly only voiced Matilda in Episode 13, before Erica Schroeder returned to voice her starting with Episode 24.
- Doug Stone replaces Sam Riegel as Yohmei Asakura.
- Doug Burch replaces Stuart Zagnit as Tao Ching.
- William Salyers replaces Michael Sinterniklaas as Orona.

- Kenton Chen and Luiz Bermudez replaced Dan Green as Zen Yoneda and Peyote Diaz respectively.
- Sean Rohani replaces James Carter Cathcart as Kouji Yamada (Damayaji).
- James Simenc replaces Christopher Kromer as Pino Graham.
- This is the first Shōnen anime series to be dubbed at VSI Los Angeles and the first long running anime series dubbed at the studio.
- The is the first anime dub directed by Hermes Baroli at VSI Los Angeles.
- This is A.J. Beckles, Lisa Ortiz, Luiz Bermudez, Sean Rohani, Bernhard Forcher, Ayman Samman, Jodi Carlisle, William Salyers, Doug Burch, Matt Caplan, Bruce Wexler, Tinsel Korey, Curt Mega, Kenton Chen, and Anthony Brandon Walker, Dennis Kleinman, Ogie Banks, Amen Igbinosun, James Simenc, Johnny Young and Megan Hollingshead's first and so-far only Anime dub done at VSI Los Angeles.
- This is the first and so-far only dub at VSI Los Angeles to be recorded in bi-coastal route (Due to mixture of NY and LA cast).
- In the 2001 series, Lisa Ortiz initially gave Tao Jun a British accent (like what most of the Tao family members had in that series); in the 2021 series, however, Ortiz completely drops the accent all together.
- In episodes 19-20, Doug Stone was erroneously credited as Luchist Lasso, until the later English credits credited Bernhard Forcher as Luchist.
