One Piece: Dr. Vegapunk English Dub Voice Actor Announced
One Piece's English dub has recruited Kent Williams as the voice of Dr. Vegapunk!
One Piece: Egghead Arc will be kicking off its run with the English dub release of the anime later this Summer, and the anime is starting things out by announcing the voice actor bringing the scientist to life! The Egghead Arc is the first major arc of the Final Saga for Eiichiro Oda's original One Piece manga series overall, and with it the anime's release has started to set the stage for that grand finale. While the year has already seen the Japanese release make it way through this arc, the English dub has quickly caught up and ready to start its run.
One Piece: Egghead Arc will be the first time in a while that the Japanese and English dubbed releases will be airing through the same arc, and now the building blocks have been set as the dub is getting closer to its digital release date in stores later this Summer. Toei Animation has officially announced the first new addition to the cast, Kent Williams (Dr. Gero, Supreme Kai in Dragon Ball, Kuro in One Piece), as the voice actor behind Dr. Vegapunk himself. Check out the announcement below:
