My Hero Academia: One’s Justice will not get an English dub for its Western release
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
Then Namco Bandai will not get my money, at least not day 1. Charging $60, not having a same date release as Japan, no dub? Get outta here with that.
Since I dont quite like English dubs, I dont mind it too much.
But fucking hell Namco, stop being cheap with your releases.

A ton of the English voice actors do a great job. Be it Deku, Bakugo, All Might, & a ton of others, Funimation is fucking killing it with the dub.
Heard the dub in theaters. YOU ARE MISSING NOTHING!!! I wish the game looked more fun to play, then I'd have interest
The english dub is airing right now on toonami every Saturday, why this game specifically that doesnt justify the English dub?

Not to mention that the movie was a huge success in the West.
Dont know about their specific performances in the movie but in the show they are great
What?
All I could found about the name was this https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/06/16/my-hero-academia-ones-justice-name-change/
nothing about not being able to use the full name
I would assume it's money and the audience for this type of game typically either not caring about dubs or hating them.
Yeah, I don't get these releases sent to die. It's not gonna sell so why bother?
For real. All Might in particular is so fucking good. I'm playing a buff cleric in my current DnD campaign and I shoot for All Might's dub voice to really hammer in that personality type lol
Given the western fanbase for this game, and how it's basically the new DBZ or Naruto in popularity, not including an English dub is utterly insane.
They're great in the movie too. You can't account for people who have no taste and an irrational hate of dubbed anime. These are the same people who'll call it Boku No Hero Academia despite the fact the English name was on the cover of chapter 1.
I'm so used to the Japanese voices from the anime that it doesn't affect me directly.
Having said that, its popularity is so big in the west that it should have some kind of dub, I agree.

Don't a lot of anime games tend to play it fast and loose with the story anyway? MHA would hardly be the first, in any event.
FUNimation kills it with their dubs and BN continuing to be cheap and lazy with their releases is bullshit. I don't think MHA is particularly great, or that this game will be any good, but the fact that they continue to cheap out on this stuff is infuriating.
My dreams of a dubbed One Piece game will never happen.
Also, we're in 2018 and people are still banging on about subs vs dubs? Yo, having a preference is fine, but continuing to push the false narrative that dubs are inferior is pathetic. Get over it.

I know nothing about the game, but in terms of dubs, it's a top tier series. I saw the movie with subs and couldn't get into it at all.
It's for sure them being cheap and lazy with the localization of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a Tales of Hearts R/SAO situation where not only is it sub only but the sub is poorly translated.
Weird to hear that so many like the dub version. I watched the entire series (so far) with subs and caught a couple episodes of the english dub on tv and couldn't stand it.
edit: Either way, this is a poor decision by Bandai Namco, especially for a full price title.

I hope this game bombs.
So why did they wait 2 months after Japan to release this again? It'll probably be riddled with typos and crappy translations like their other games.

Eh, I think Yakuza is an exception. It's more like watching a foreign film.
Yakuza is weird since they did dub it, but the cost to dub it and the poor sales really hurt the series localization efforts for awhile. Now that the series has a solid footprint in the west they could easily dub it and have it still be profitable, but you'd start dubbing in the middle of the story which is weird.
....And now I've gone from reluctant about my cancellation to glad I cancelled my preorder.
MHA is very much one of the biggest anime properties in the West right now, there's zero reason to not dub a game based on it. This isn't Fairy Tail or Seven Deadly Sins, this is like legit getting to be as mainstream as Naruto was at it's peak. And they dubbed the extremely subpar "Naruto to Boruto" that just came out, soooo... Yeah.
It does look fun so I'll probably pick it up later, but now, unlike before this confirmation, definitely not at full price. I'll spend that money on the Blu Rays instead.
Like take notice of Sega and their dub of the FotNS Yakuza spinoff Bamco, seriously.
YA YO YA YO
OH OHHHH
SET SAIL FOR ONE PIECE

The Japanese performances are extremely important to the way the cutscenes are directed though. This wouldn't be like your typical anime/JRPG dub. I mean more options aren't a bad thing necessarily, I just don't understand why anyone would prefer to play Yakuza specifically with a dub.
That's true but i could see them/hoping dubbing the upcoming Shin Yakuza since that's a brand new story.
I knew this would happen as soon as I posted that. Thank you for cursing my night.
