In the hungarian dub, he and Kunzite were brothers. Should have kept them gay, coz their "brotherly" bond confused the hell out of me as a kid.
wow that's... blatant incest O.O
xxlCortez I know what you mean, In the first North Amercica dub Uranus and Neptune were couisns, It was weird to see those so-called "cousins" act overly-friendly toward each other and their closeness was getting a bit suspicous.
yumikumi2
DIC mentality: rather implying incest than homosexuality :D
They aren't gay at all. Only in the 90's Anime was that decision made.
xxlCortez Wait, what?! That sounds stupid.
Kristen was great ...if Zoisite was a girl.
Zoisite was a girl only because of censorship. She did a great job playing him nonetheless.
so your telling me..your homophobic
@@bella-zt7oz Nope. There was homophobia with the gay characters and that means Zoisite and Fish-Eye were transgender women in the original series.
Zoisite is a gurl tho
@@GardevoirBoy well then the new version of zoisite is homophobic then by giving him a more male like voice then right? If Zoisite is trans the DiC dub did to her justice 🤷.
I know Zoisite is supposed to be a boy in reality, but i absolutely loved Kirsten Bishop as Zoisite. It's so sad she passed away. RIP.
Oh no rip
What She died😢
I hope she knew that Zoisite was a guy in the original Japanese version.
@@claudiaortiz6036 she had cancer if i remember correctly. she is THE BEST female antagonist voice. and the laughs she did for zoicite/emerald was the best
cancer?
The one thing about Zoisite that I didn't like in Crystal is how he wasn't really a diva like he was in the original. I loved his relationship with Kunzite and how delightfully wicked he was.
No one really had a personality in crystal
To be fair, the manga didn't really do much with character development/personality as the 90's version did. And since Crystal is based directly off of the manga itself, it pretty much carried over.
Zoisite, despite being dubbed a tomboy in the DiC dub, was actually a boy in the first place. The reason why they were dubbed female was because America in the 1990's had to deal with social hypocrisy in anime and video games at the time. Social hypocrisy was to blame for the heavy censorship in Sailor Moon including Zoisite and Fish-Eye's gender just because they were in a weird relationship with another boy. If there is anything to blame for forcing Sailor Moon's first English dub to be kid-friendly, it's social and cultural hypocrisy. In fact, I find social hypocrisy and cultural hypocrisy as the route of all kid friendly censorship in Sailor Moon. That's why Sailor Moon failed to appeal to American audiences after dubbing female lovers as cousins, and all girly men had to be female
just because of social hypocrisy cartoons had to deal with in the 90's.
Crystal I was alright as it was more into the original idea of Naoko Takeuchi of creating a soft-looking but still deadly character.
The 90s pretty much turned him/he/whatever their pronoun is into the "bad guy's vixen wife trope".
Though it's still kind of funny how many parallels they had with 90s anime Emerald considering them even shared the same voice actress.
@@earthbornparanian6252 But changing Zoisite and Fish-Eye to a female only made them sound kind of younger than their age. It didn't make much of a difference changing the effeminate men to women just because it was changed to a kids show. I was jealous of Japan getting so much nice stuff only because our localization had to be Americanized since little kids wouldn't know any of this stuff just because 90's cartoon policies had to play god with anime and kids shows. Seeing Zoisite and Fish-Eye become female instead of male due to censorship, people don't take the original dub seriously because they weren't meant to be female despite their feminine appearance.
Holy shit. Lucien's death scream at 4:28 is really good.
I was shocked to find that out when I first learned about it. I grew up watching the DIC version of Sailor Moon (from what I can remember) and to find out that Zoisite was a man actually shocked me. It does not mean that it changes my outlook on the anime and neither does it change my opinion on the voice actress for the DIC dubbed version. Kirsten did a beautiful job with Zoisite~! She perfectly captured his personality and voice dialect voicing as him~! That takes real skills to do that~! May she rest in peace.
It gives me chills. Poor zoi 😢
Ikr? All the others were like "Well he's dead" but that one was just like "DAMN QUEEN BERYL YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO HIM LIKE THAT!!" Like I felt that...
@@kitakoproductions8894 yeah zoisite was the most memorable of the shitennou for me
I love zoisite my favorite villain
R.I.P Kirsten Bishop
:(
FrozenDragonFlames IKR
I just learned that :(
Best part about her voice was her laugh. Which was even more prominent when she came back as Emerald.
FrozenDragonFlames She shall be missed.
TurquoiseStar17 I liked her better as Kaorinite and Lady Badyannu from Sailor Moon SuperS the Movie.
I love Kirsten`s laugh. So cute and evil. :( R.I.P
It was annoying moreso
Didn't she voice Emerald with that same ear splitting laugh of hers?
Nothing cute. She was dispelling the stereotypes of women generalization. Not all women like cute and feminine stuff.
@@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291 that was the writing of the Dic dubs fault don’t blame her
@@stinkymrsnow.............. Blaming who?
I didn't know the actress for Zoisite in the DiC dub passed away. The way she depicted this character will always be part of my childhood memory. Rest in peace, Kirsten Bishop.
The voice from the Viz dub, sounds a lot like the voice of Quatre Raberba Winner from Gundam Wing.
***** Same here! At least they cast her for the role when they did. She did an exceptional job capturing both Zoisite's suave and spunky side.
Same mang that hit me major HARD I'm like damn I don't believe this BULLshit maing. RIP tho to Kirsten Bishop.
@@fujimotochiaki2487And Lady Emerald. Holy hell, she nailed them both!
@@GeekGameCulture I agree, I really enjoyed her portrayal of Lady Emerald, too.💚
Keiichi Nanba and Lucien Dodge are my favourites.
Kirsten Bishop was really good for a female version of the character.
I honestly think that Zoisite's death in Viz was way better than the original Japanese. Keiichi Nanba's scream sounded more like an opera singer hitting a high note. Lucien made an actual scream of pain.
I agree. Lucien's scream sounded more manly compared to the previous actors.
What an indirect way of saying you do not like the idea of a gay femboy.
I really enjoy both Kirsten Bishop and Lucien Doge. I think I will always think of them almost as 2 separate characters because I loved female Zoisite growing up and everything that "she" implied. I loved that she was taken as seriously as the boys, was dressed just like them, was a formidable foe, wasn't the subject of sexist jokes (for the most part). Of course, after I discovered the internet, I found that this was all because "she" had been a man all along XD I was disappointed but... "she" still lives on in my inner child. And I like the original Zoisite a lot too- specifically with Lucien Doge's voice. I like him more in English than in Japanese for some reason.
Libra0Rising Libra0Rising Your comment is quite a while ago already, but can I just say that I love it so much? I support LGBT so I don't like the reason DIC changed his gender, but the female Zoisite is so interesting for the reasons you listed above.
His viz voice is better than “her” dic one but his original Japanese voice always wins for me
@@sparklegirl1006 nah lol. Her laugh and cadence is inimitable. Very few people could do what she did. Casting call, you can get a handful who sound exactly like him. Heck, they've already been casted alongside him in VIZ lmao.
i have to agree! i hate that they changed him due to homophobia, but i have to admit loving Kirsten's versiona bit more.
@@RecoveringChristian I hate to admit it, but the DiC and Cloverway dubs of Sailor Moon are nothing but bootlegs. Everything you were led to believe about the Sailor Moon anime was a lie.
I have to give this one to Luicen Dodge. Had Zoisite been a woman I could give it to Kirsten,I think her voice could have worked for Koan or Berthier or even Petz or Queen Beryl with her Green Esmeraude voice
in the Dic Dub.
RIP Kirsten
I fucking love Kirsten’s Zoisite. That laugh is iconic to our childhoods! LMAO! RIP.
Happy Birthday and R.I.P. Kirsten Bishop. U R beautiful. Great Villain. U will be remember. I believe in u, and I love Sailor Moon. It was my childhood. May the Peace be with u Kirsten Bishop. From Harlingen Texas. September 6, 1963 - April 15, 2014
September 6, 2023 through September 6, 3023
Rest In Peace Kirsten Bishop and Dennis Akayama 🙏
Kirsten still did a great job as Zoisite in my book. Now that's a laugh that you can set your watch to. As for the whole brouhaha with the gender switch... don't get it twisted, but design-wise, Zoisite looked feminine enough to pass off as female, so it worked. For Fish-Eyes, not so much.
yeah, Fish-Eyes is just a whole can of messed-up...
Zoisite looks androgynous to me. Too feminine for a boy but to masculine for a girl. Fisheye is really feminine looking however
Things went downhill once Fisheye ripped off "her" dress and not wearing an undershirt. lol
@@earthbornparanian6252 I'd say Fish-Eye was the most girly male in Sailor Moon history. So weird as a feminine boy, he was portrayed as female in most dubs of Sailor Moon. Zoisite was female in the DiC dub just because they didn't want kids to know that he was gay and the producers at the time when it was dubbed in the 90's were afraid of being scolded by parents for keeping mature content in kids shows that would scar children for life. Seeing Zoisite as a male surprised everyone, Zoisite was meant to be a male just like Fish-Eye.
@@GardevoirBoy Different time different worlds. I'm a gay man who watched all versions, but still prefer DiC.
Zoisite, loved her as a female.
Was surprised she was really a he but I loved the voice acting.. Brilliant
True
@@misakiayuzawa4402 Yep, Zoisite was a transgender female like Fish-Eye because they we known to be effeminate men and they had to be female because they didn't want to spoil the fact that they are gay to children when it was first dubbed in English. We know by know that's not true but they were treated that way because the producers at the time were not sure America could handle mature content in anime and video games especially Sailor Moon which was made for the wrong audience when it was first dubbed in English.
But i love Zoisite as a boy....he's very handsome...and i love Keiichi Nanba voice as a Zoisite
@@mediamedia3231 Zoisite is actually a boy. In many dubs, Zoisite is a male. For the 90s, many localizations had to make gays in a family relationship or they get a gender change. I never liked how the 90s society was very xenophobic and homophobic. The latter part stands true because many countries during the 90s had a Karen Smith view on gays, so gays weren't okay if they are not in a family relationship.
Hi folks. I directed the original English dubs of Sailor Moon and I am extremely proud of the performers' work. I haven't seen much of the new version, but what I have seen is quite good. Please understand that it was quite a different political climate in the '90's, and we did what we had to do. Read my book "Sailor Moon Reflections" and you will understand. Roland Parliament.
+Roland Parliament Holy crap Ron Parliament! Melvin!
Roland Parliament I liked the DiC dub and Cloverway dub both! With the new re dub they sound way to bland. That almost all the character's sound a like in voices now.
The big boss has spoken and the SJW's shall bow down! Who am I kidding.. that probably won't happen but it's pretty cool to hear from the one and only +Roland Parliament!
Understandably it was a different time then. I have posted a few times on my own Sailor Moon blog that changing Zoisite's gender actually changed the dynamic of the character in many of the scenes, and created this badass chick who Kirsten did a great job lending her voice to. Zoisite and Zoycite are really two different characters in my mind, and to me they're both great!
Are you really Roland? That's pretty cool to see someone who worked on the original Dub posts around here and saw the fruits of his work and present incarnations. I did enjoy DiC's take, not too much of Cloverway's voice directions, but at least Cloverway did keep the original score, although I found DiC's score to be just as good for the time.
Welcome to TH-cam, Roland! How's the Canadian Melvin doing these days? I always thought you would get more voice work since I thought you had a decent amount of range.
I love Lucien Dodge as Zoisite, excellent. In the manga, the Shittenou or Four kings of heaven, fall in love with the inner senshi. Zoisite falls in love with Sailor Mercury. Sadly, Metalia converted them to stones representing their names.
I'm pretty sure their relationships were only implied and not in the actual story. They chose to go forward with the idea in Crystal for fan service, and then kill them off anyway. Honestly doesn't add anything to the story :/
@@zinzolin14 El enamoramiento entre Senshi/Shitennou no es simple fanservice, también eran parejas que a Naoko le gustan
I really like Luien Dodge and Keiichi Nanba voice for Zoisite!
BullaTeairraThe Queen of Rap Briefs Hey you know that keiichi Nanba is the original voice for zoisite so you should have respect for him you fucking bitch 🖕🏼
BullaTeairraThe Queen of Rap Briefs and by the way Why would you wrather have a straight couple then a gay couple homophobe
Definitely same! Lucien dodge is the best in my opinion.
I really like Keiichi Nanba voice for Zoisite 😍😘 love him...
The last 1s the best for the English. It was sad that he had to die :'(
Yes it was heartbreaking
Ya SHE deserved soo much better. SHE was the best.
I kind of wished that this included Zoi in the sewers with the rats. The scream was pricelss
It’s a gem his scream was adorable
I know right!!
DiC Dub
Zoisite: You're sure of yourself, aren't you?
Nephlite: Go away, Zoisite! This is not your affair!
Zoisite: You think you can succeed where Jedite failed?
Nephlite: GRRRRRR BACK OFF!!!!
Zoisite: HMPH!
Viz Dub
Zoisite: Well, you certainly seem confident!
Nephrite: What do you want, Zoisite? Why are you here?
Zoisite: Overconfidence has brought down many, you know.......
Nephrite: Get lost.
Zoisite: Mmmmmmph........
Viz Media had the best one in my opinion. AND THEY KEPT HIM MALE YEY!
Yes, but I think the DiC version messed with my head, because I prefer Zoisite as a flat-chested woman instead of a gay man who can pass for a flat-chested woman.
Viz Media is rape.
Viz media is damn forgettable.
@@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291 you fellas are mad that they got good voice acting
@@hallow-oda I'm giving Viz another chance to succeed where DiC did not fail. VIZ feels weird in replacement of DiC. Can't stop watching it for some reason anyhow.
0:46 has the best screams a voice actor could ever do it's funny sounding.
Woah. Lucien's version of the scream was actually heart breaking.
hwOOOAah?!
It's just such a funny noise out of context!
I find it kind of sad, seeing that three of Beryl's minions died finding some form of love. I do like that, Zoisite's feelings towards Kunzite are reciprocated, and when Kunzite dies he merely wishes he ends up in the same place as his beloved. This show really does have the whole "Love comes in many different forms" kind of message... Sadly, it's only in the Japanese and uncut English Dub of Sailor Moon.
Beryl was originally in love with Endymion...when villains love everything goes wrong doesn’t it
Gah, I got teary eyed at Zoicite's death DX in all versions! TnT Man Lucian is a great Zoicite!
Zoisite is best as a boy :)
Agree with you, but it’s sad there are still some people that have ONLY watched the old dub and when they hear his new voice they say “he is supposed to be a she” because they haven’t watched the original Japanese version or read the manga
Negative
Further to my previous email, if you want to contact me personally, the address is rparliament@cogeco.ca. No rants please. And please respect that Kirsten Bishopric passed away last year. Roland Parliament
I just want to say that I loved how you portrayed Melvin in the dub~! You captured his personality perfectly in his voice~! I did not know that Kirsten had passed on unfortunately but now I do. She had a really beautiful voice that portrayed Zoisite gorgeously~! I do hope that all these rants about her stop, she does not deserve any of this harsh treatment. I am sorry that you have to watch as people talk horribly about your friend, Roland. People need to realize that she was not the cause of anything and grow up. Hopefully she is resting peacefully up in Heaven with the Lord. Rest in peace, Kirsten. You will always be in our hearts. Tsumiki Mikan
They are all so good.
I prefer male Zoisite, but I do love the character that Kristen Bishop gave Zoycite. She was so wicked.
Zoisite Voice actors ranked from oldest to youngest
1. Keiichi Nanba (Original)(1957-)
2. Kristen Bishop (DiC)(1963-2014) RIP
3. Masaya Matsukaze (Crystal)(1976-)
4. Lucien Dodge (Viz)(1984-)
What... Keiichi Nanba was born on 1957....i think he's still young. I really like his voice, it's not easy playing Zoisite...but Keiichi Nanba does Zoisite perfectly and i love him
Zoisite was your husbando?!
@@crusaderbowserjr3071 i hope so, i really want to have a husband like zoisite, i don't get it in this world ....hopefully in heaven later i can get a husband like zoisite...won't in heaven later we can get whatever we want?
You know, I never knew of Lucien Dodge at all before I started watching the new Sailor Moon dub. Just in clips, as I was not keen on watching the whole series over. I was very curious about Zoisite's voice and hoping the actor they'd gotten for him would do well, and I was not disappointed! He's been just fabulous, and I look forward to hearing him in Crystal and many other anime to come!
I know a lot of people say that changing Zoisite to a woman for the English dub was homophobic (and let's face it, even though it was understandable at the time, it _was_), but I really love the character they created by doing so. I'm not saying that changing him to a female was right, but it _did_ create a very interesting person in the process. Zoisite is awesome, no doubt about it, but the English version (I guess we can call her Zoycite, haha) is really cool as well. Hell, the English dub's version of the character is one of the reasons why I consider Zoisite to be one of my favorites from the series, let alone out of the four Shitennou. She left quite an impression on childhood me. But thanks to having access to the Japanese dub later on in my life, I was able to appreciate the character the way they were originally intended as well. I'm thankful for that.
Sorry for the ramble, but I just really wanted to say this.
Mitochondria Raine Yes!! I agree completely.
I don't understand why DIC modified the Shitennou names. They were kinda sloppy about it anyway. Most of the characters would call her Zoycite, but you'd catch Nephrite calling her Zoisite, for example. Anyway, I thought Zoisite was pretty awesome in the old anime. I felt (s)he got more accomplished than the other three combined.
I read a theory that the script writers/translators may have not actually known these names were supposed to be mineral names, which would explain the weirdly bumbled "Jed-ite" and "Neph-lite" and the spelling of Zoycite (although that was at least phonetically correct), until they realized they needed an alternate for Kunzite, which prompted them to actually turn to geology for the answer. This would make sense - maybe they were so consumed with the translation and looking for potential phonetic pitfalls (ie - the l and r transposition in Nephlite).
well I just found out Zoicite was a man, not a woman this morning and it kind of made my whole child a lie. 😂😶
Regardless Zoicite was a snappy bitch in both English and Japanese and I loved him
Wait a minute - Zoisite was a guy all along?! I guess Japan was a lot more accepting of gays/feminine-looking guys back then than we were.
Still though, I like DiC's take on the character, and the late Kirsten Bishop's voice for him/her, even if it meant a gender-swap.
Random fact: the villain Zoisite from sailor Moon was actually a male..(blonde) In America they fucked up the entire story line and made him a female because they weren't big on LGBT Community being public lol. Shows how petty and childish America is. Sailor scouts were even nude in Japan, but America has such an issue with breasts too.. As if the female breasts are so shameful or bad lol
Yup you are one of those people
Yeah yeaj learn people learn
I mean... people back in the 80's and 90's and the whole 2000's decade would've feared that the LGBT+ people would spread STD's, AIDS and HIV's all over the place.
Zoisite is very interesting villain, and sounds very unusual with female voice. As always, i like the voices of first anime and from Viz dub.
While it's pretty lame that Zoicite was changed into a girl in the DiC dub, I honestly thought Kristen Bishop performed rather well. Hilarious evil laughs and really nailed the role, aside from the death... mumble? That was kinda bad, but otherwise good.
The weird music (they replaced solveigs song wtf) and some parts of the death (I want to die beautifully, zoi crying and admitting he loved Kunzite) were cut out, so that take on zois death was horrible (don’t forget me...ahh)
@@sparklegirl1006 Changing Zoisite to a female only made him a tomboy. I have to say the same thing for Fish-Eye. For being too girly, most dubs consider Fish-Eye a female, because there's no way they can tell that he is a guy. It was hard to believe that Zoisite and Fish-Eye were guys, but it was the truth.
Lucien Dodge's Zoisite rocks. I'm extremely disappointed in the original English dub, because it was done with the express purpose of erasure and straight-washing. I get that it was dubbed in the 90s, where homophobia was far more widespread, but come on. The sexualities of Kunzite and Zoisite are not the most interesting thing abut them and it's never made out to be a big deal (as in, nobody freaks out about these gay dudes) in the original text of the anime.
+Katie Luke I don't blame Kristen Bishop for this; that falls on the feet of the localizers. Kristen did an awesome job with what she had. Lucien's Zoisite is great for what the Viz dub was shooting for, which is a totally faithful dub from the Japanese original.
R.I.P. Kristen Bishop (1963-2015) Voice of Zoisite from Sailor Moon
It’s 1963
If there's anything to blame for Zoisite becoming a tomboy in the DiC dub, it's the FCC. For the 90s, all anime and video games localized outside of Japan stayed true to social norms. That was because most people associated everything form Japan to something you see in rated R movies. All this censorship happened because it wasn't well known at the time, didn't think that any immigrant from their country has been to Japan, didn't think that older audiences watch cartoons and play video games, and/or didn't think that content in the Japanese version would be enjoyable by younger audiences.
Lucien really did a great job as the gay diva 👁💖
Edit: I love how he made Zoisite sound like a teenager lol
Zoisites Viz dub is stunning
I also love the DIC dub
Viz Media, you never disappoint. Thank you.
Hmmm, they're fine I guess. Weak performances compared to DiC, giving it another chance at success to bring my attention and grab me in. On the R season right now. I like the Guardians voicing strong and down for action. Ami in DiC "MERCURY POWER/ MERCURY STAR POWER MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST/FREEZE" Ami in Viz "Bubble Spray". I know Katie Higgins as more umph than that like in Sakura Haruno with her CHA!! Viz is fine grant it that, there's nothing original as someone else did the english before them.
I still remember watching Sailor Moon at the age of 6. Even before I found out Zoisite was guy, I STILL had a crush on him!
i didn't know that Kirsten had passed away! i'm so sad now! i loved her Zoisite voice!
the scream at 0:44 got me dead 😭
Kirsten Bishop did the voice of Marina in the Little Mermaid anime as well!
Yes, Marina's song is my favorite.
@@earthbornparanian6252 Rebecca Shoichet was a great replacement to Kristen Bishop even if the latter passed away. In fact, Rebecca Shoichet's voice is nearly identical to Kirsten Bishop's just pitch-shifted to sound tomboyish. Sorry if I said it to much, but I never liked the gender-swapping of characters even if they had to do it because of censorship.
How Sailor Moon Original and Crystal able to make Zoisite act as two different people
I'm old-school, I guess. I like his original voice from the Japanese 90s anime best.
Agreed. Crystal Zoisite doesn't have any of Classic Zoi's charm, and while the dubs are good, I always prefer his original voice
Preach
Back in the day as a teen I always wondered why zoisite had a guys body and not a females form I thought it was the uniform .
Yaaay my favorite Shitennou~ Kinda weird knowing that Zoicite has the same voice actor as Umino...Then again Zoicite has the same voice as another character in both English iterations of Sailor Moon, this is just the weirdest difference.
Can't wait for more videos! Keep up the good work~
he killed Nephrite tho..
He’s my favorite too💚🔥🌺best shitennou!
He was married to his 1st wife Hiromi Tsuru (1960-2017) the 1st voice of Bulma and his 2nd wife Mayumi Sho the 1st voice of Chi-Chi.
Lucien did a fantastic job as Zoisite, but it was Kirsten who I grew up with. It works either way though. RIP Kirsten.
I literally hate that Zoisite is censored in English to be a woman but DAMN Kirsten Bishop's voice was amazing.
Kristen Bishop voiced Zoisite to a T. Also Emerald. That laugh of theirs gave me a headache. No wonder why Neflite despises Zoisite so much.
Yeah, I think I liked the late Kristen Bishop a lot more when she voiced Green Esmeraude/Emerald in Sailor Moon R, Kaorinite in Sailor Moon S and Lady Badyannu from Sailor Moon SuperS the Movie than in this season as the original English voice of Zoisite. God, rest your soul, Ms. Bishop.
Sad Zoisite wasn't actually a girl, because Kirsten does seem really good.
0:44 "HWOAA"
Lucien Dodge is my fave
I preferred Zoisite as a boy but I agree with others Kristen played a good zoisite. Loved her laugh RIP
I really like Keiichi Nanba voice for Zoisite 😍
I remember when I first learned Zoisite was a man....haha, I was so confused. I'm gay myself so it's not as if it would have bothered me, but I STILL love the female Zoycite even though I know it's just due to censoring. Kirsten Bishop is absolutely amazing as evil female characters, be it Zoycite, Emerald or Kaorinite, she adds some elegance and flat up sadism (not to mention that laugh) to the roles she portrays. RIP Kirsten. :(
Zoisite was my favourite, even though he had bratty attitude 😂😂😂
Keiichi for sure
1:00 Solveig song... So you're going to still deny those two were lovers?
Happy Birthday Lucien Dodge. UR a legend. Your awesome man. I love Naruto Shippuden, Boruto Naruto Next Generations, Sailor Moon, Re:ZERO -Starting Life In Another World-, Bleach, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, Black & White, Sword Art Online, and Fallout 76.

This is why the Viz media dub is better
That last one almost made me cry. AGAIN!
Nice video
I was born and raised in japan. And I was obsessed with sailor moon when I was 4 and I thought gays and lesbians were normal things.
Ikr? Soo normal they still can't get married in Japan or adopt children of their own as gay couples as of 2020, nearly 30 years later. But hey they got cool gay anime so....that's a plus. Equality is overrated anyway. Raised in Canada, we legalized gay marriage in summer of 2005. Over 15 years ago. Full rights and protection under the law. Marry the person you love.
@@RecoveringChristian savage. well at least a lot of us aren’t religious so no one complained about gay and lesbian scenes.
@@Kannah22 no one fought for their rights to love and be loved either.
Did you fight for LGBTQ and black people’s equality? Fight for your own people before you criticize other countries. I was just saying how I felt about gay and lesbian scenes as a child and I wasn’t arguing about human rights.
@@Kannah22 yes we all did. From what i understand, Japanese overwhemingly support it privately but publicly remain silent/indifferent (citizens, elected officials, political leaders, etc). So, you get really cool super gay anime, but no equality under the law in real life. For Canadian children it's LITERALLY been a normal thing for 15 years.
As a sub watcher, I'm actually a huge fan of Lucien Dodge's performance as Zoisite. Though I'm not a fan of the SM English dubs overall, I didn't mind watching with Lucien's voice during the Zoisite Arc. Still sad he died.
Zoisite as a genderbender idea with Kirsten makes me laugh, I know he's supposed to be a pretty effeminate gay guy, but I guess the 90s back then was more into cousins dating, and genderbending "metros" :P.
Still, on the other hand, Lucien is an excellent call. I think he gets Zoisite's personality down to the Kei!
Random fact: the villain Zoisite from sailor Moon was actually a male..(blonde) In America they fucked up the entire story line and made him a female because they weren't big on LGBT Community being public lol. Shows how petty and CHILDISH America is. Sailor scouts were even nude in Japan, but America has such an issue with breasts too.. As if the female breasts are so shameful or bad lol
Oh i know, but that doesn't bother me Zoisite was a girl in this one. As people and *DiC* themselves said, it was a different time. At least Cloverway kept the original music, but most of their voices were even worse than DiC's.
I've watched Sailor Moon in both original and English dubs. Original Sailor Moon was out for love, DiC's Sailor Moon was out for justice. Original Sailor Moon was a huge crybaby. DiC's Sailor Moon actually toned that down and made her more of a ditz than a wailer. (If you ask me, that's even better than Usagi crying out her eardrums~ I know DiC also had her cry lots, but not as loud or as much.)
@@TanorFauxofOltanis cousins was a cloverway conception in the year 2000. How did you miss that glaring detail?
@Brianna Bombshell Random fact: you sound rather ignorant.
Gay marriage was *LEGALIZED in Canada in 2005* All rights under the law. Gay marriage is still *ILLEGAL in Japan as of 2020* There is public support for it and there is really not that much hostility towards the lgtbq community writ large but you aren't recognized under the law and you still cant adopt as same sex couples. Shows how petty and childish Japan is. It's almost as if they have such a issue with gay people, as if not being heterosexual is shameful or bad lol.
Meanwhile Canada broke a lot of ground for gay rights through their entertainment media in the 80s and 90s (Degrassi, Ready or Not, Kids in the Hall, Drag Scene, KD Lang, Tegan and Sara, SAILOR MOON, etc) But I digress, you are soo utterly woke and outraged on everyone's behalf, it must get very tiresome. Psst I'm mentioning Canada bc that's where Sailor Moon was first dubbed and broke to North American markets.
Also why stop at female nudity during the 7:30 am and after school 3:30pm blocks of kids tv programming? They do that ALL THE TIME NOW right??? In between Peppa Pig and Baby Shark, right? Steven Universe and Adventure Time did that right? Full frontal nudity during saturday morning cartoons, right? They should show the tentacle bondage stuff and low key pedophilicular content with Mamoru too, right? Kids should be exposed to nudity and sex earlier on, right? Let's throw in the kamikaze suicides and gun wielding children too. (1996 in Scotland's first and last school shooting where 16 little children the age of Chibiusa were shot and killed by a gunman. Same time they dubbed that arc in Sailor Moon.) Shows how petty and childish they are, as if guns are shameful and bad lol. They shouldve just kept the guns and suicide in.
I love how you distort reality and manipulate facts to suit your warped narrative. If you want an actual *AMERICAN* example. 3 years after Sailor Moon debuted in Canada in 1995, Ellen Degeneres came out on her tv show in 1998. Late night prime time. For ADULTS. Live action. No gay relationships, no kissing, no sex. She simply uttered just 2 words. "I'm gay". Her hit tv show was then quickly cancelled. About this same time, in America, Mathew Sheppard was tortured, tied to a fence, and killed for being gay, leading to the hate crimes prevention act. But ya, boo, they didn't give sailor moon boobs or show full on transgendered romantic relationships back in 1995 in an anime marketed to children as a kids cartoon show in North America. Soo shock!!!! Booooo!!!
By the way, gay marriage became legal stateside in 2015. It's 2020 now, can you please tell Japan to stop being so "petty and childish"?
@@RecoveringChristian Nice replying to a 4 year old comment. How did you misread my comments as well?
In the Viz dub, he’s Leon from Fire Emblem Echoes and Felix from Three Houses.
There are a few character settings that have been changed in DiC Dub.
In DiC Dub Zoycite was monitoring Nephrite on Queen Beryl's orders, but the Japanese version is different.
In the Japanese version, Zoisite was spying on Nephrite at Kunzite's behest.
In episode 23, there is a scene where Nephrite asks Zoisite, " Kunzite sent you here to spy on me, didn't he?"
Kunzite and Nephrite have an adversarial relationship, and Kunzite and Zoisite are trying to unseat Nephrite.
The reason Zoisite doesn't get along with Nephrite is because Zoisite adores Kunzite.

Lucian Dodge Made Me Fall In Love With Zoisite And Got Me To Develop A Massive Crush On Him. ❤
I'll always be a fan a zoisite and love him forever 😊
Rip Kristian Bishop (Zoycite/Girlsite) 🙏
90s anime Zoisite is my favorite of all his incarnations!
Kirsten's performance is ingrained in my brain forever due to nostalgia, but I did really love Lucien's acting as well! It's how Zoisite should have originally sounded in the dub.
Zoisite looks like her actor even
Nanba Keiichi will ALWAYS be it for me, but Lucien Dodge did well too, IMO.
I Love Zoycite As A Girl In My Universe
Rest In Peace Kristen Bishop
Japanese: make it gay
America: no make it straight
Modern America: make it gay
Aaaah Masaya 💜😍
Oh this is precious! *chuckling* Zoisite is actually a girly boy in the original series just another similar character from Escaflone! Oh good Lord!! 😂😂😂
やれやれ... Illumi Zoldyck's voice (Masaya's) lured me here. This is some strong voice Hatsu right here!
My Top 2 Zoisite English Voice Actor/Actress
1. Lucien Dodge
2. Kristen Bishop (R.I.P.)
When did Kristen die? 😢
The legendary Kirsten Bishop.
Lucien.
My favorite thing is that his/her catch phrase is "Zoi!"
RIP Kirsten Bishop
Kristin Bishop is awesome! My childhood
Even to this day, I still find it hilarious that Zoisite shared the same seiyuu with Umino in the 90's anime. Both Keiichi and Lucien did a great job voicing him - although I will say that Lucien had the best death scream (4:29). Masaya did well for the Crystal version, although I really don't have much of an opinion on Kirsten's take. I get why DiC made Zoisite a girl but as someone who already knew of the character's actual gender before finding that out, I personally find it a bit weird hearing him with a woman's voice. :/
RIP Kirsten Bishop.
Lucien Dodge easily.
Lucien Dodge my favorite
旧セーラームーンのゾイサイト

Beryl is so stupid for killing off her only hinch men LMAO and Zoisite is my fav to btw ❤️❤️❤️😂
Can I mention that the Nephrite in the DiC dub sounds like he has something stuck in his throat XD
Or like batman XD
He sounds like a 40 year old chain smoker even though he’s 19
