The Italian Voice Actors of Goku and Vegeta Reveal Toei Animation’s Controversial Clause Gianluca Iacono (🇮🇹 Vegeta VA) and Claudio Moneta (🇮🇹Goku VA) have released a video explaining once and for all why they are not part of the Italian dub of Dragon Ball Daima. The two actors first wanted to clear up some of the rumors that had been circulating online. Their absence had nothing to do with an artistic decision. In fact, both had originally been contacted to return as Goku and Vegeta. Money was not the issue either. They firmly denied claims that they had asked for unusually high fees, explaining that the compensation offered was in line with normal industry standards and was never a point of disagreement. The real problem was an NDA sent by Toei Animation. Confidentiality agreements are nothing unusual in the industry. Voice actors are often required not to reveal story details, scripts, footage, or other material before a project is officially released. According to Iacono and Moneta, however, this particular agreement included a much broader restriction. During the video, Iacono reads the clause directly: “The counterparty further agrees that they shall not participate in any public event, regardless of its connection to the series, including, but not limited to, conventions, trade shows, fan events, or industry panels.” In other words, the clause appeared to prevent them from taking part in public events even when those events had absolutely nothing to do with Dragon Ball. For Iacono and Moneta, that was the real issue. They felt the restriction was disproportionate and, more importantly, that accepting it could set a dangerous precedent for voice actors in general. Their concern became even greater because the clause apparently did not include an expiration date or any clearly defined time limit. As written, it could potentially remain in effect indefinitely, affecting not only their personal freedom but also a normal part of their professional work, such as attending conventions, fan events, or industry panels. Rather than refusing the project outright, the two actors asked for clarification. They tried to open a discussion with Toei Animation in the hope of understanding the clause better or finding a way to revise its wording. However, according to them, no one ever got back to them. They were not given the opportunity to discuss or modify the condition. Instead, the message they received was simple: either sign the agreement as it was, or they would be replaced. And that’s what happened. (Source: gianlucaiacono_official Instagram) However, there are some reports that certain Italian voice actors still attended conventions despite this NDA. The whole situation is really confusing.
