Fans waiting anxiously for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 may have just gotten a promising update from Krillin’s English dub voice actor. While Sonny Strait is more known for his work in anime than video games, he has lent his voice to titles like Smite and Borderlands 2 in addition to playing the lead character in the 'Splosion Man series. For the most part though, Sonny Strait’s gaming career largely consists of tie-in games for anime franchises he’s acted in like Dragon Ball Z and One Piece.

This includes the Dragon Ball Z: BudokaiTenkaichi series, a line of beloved PlayStation 2-era fighting games that allowed players to live out their favorite match-ups from the Dragon Ball shows, movies, and manga in frantic 3D brawls. After a nearly 16-year wait, Bandai Namco finally announced that a fourth Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi title was in development earlier this year. However, details have been relatively sparse since this initial reveal.

That is, until Sonny Strait posted an intriguing video on TikTok a week ago. In this short clip, Strait addresses his fans and says that he had just finished with voice work for an unspecified video game - one that apparently involves "a lot of screaming." He also notes that he plays three different characters, leaving fans to wonder if he reprised his roles as Krillin and Bardock for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4. Naturally, Strait couldn’t reveal what game he was working on in his TikTok video, instead telling viewers that his voice was “shot” from all the yelling he had to do.

Screaming is par for the course in Dragon Ball, and Sonny Strait has voiced plenty of characters that could fill the three roles he mentioned in his video message. The previous Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi games featured Goku’s loyal best friend Krillin and late father Bardock as playable fighters, and in 2007’s Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Strait played the villainous General Blue. There are plenty of other Sonny Strait-voiced Dragon Ball characters that can fill the third playable slot, such as the robot Giru from Dragon Ball GT and the shape-shifter Piano from the original Dragon Ball series.

Of course, Sonny Strait could have been talking about an entirely different game in his latest video, but his mentions of screaming and voicing three characters strongly point to a game in the Dragon Ball franchise. Whether this game is the long-awaited Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 remains to be seen, but it could be a sign that the game is near release given that English dubbing is typically done towards the end of development.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 is in development.
