The news comes straight from Crunchyroll as the site announced the new members of Dragon Ball‘s English dub today. It was there fans learned industry giants like Zach Aguilar and Aleks Le are joining the series. But of course, it was Charles Martinet who stole the show.
According to reports, Martinet will voice Magenta in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. This means Mario’s beloved voice actor is joining the dark side as Martinet’s character is part of the Red Ribbon Army. Fans of Dragon Ball know the organization is never up to anything good, so audiences can look forward to Martinet’s performance.
