Leaked audio clips from recording sessions of the popular anime Dragon Ball Z have gone viral for the worst reasons.

Actors from the English dub can be heard using derogatory language, homophobic slurs, and setting up sexually inappropriate scenarios.

In one clip, you can hear the instantly recognizable voice of Goku asking, "Will you guys suck me off until I c*m all over your faces." Another reveals the actor behind the character, Sean Schemmel, jovially saying, "Hey look at those f*ggot-ass clothes. F*ggot. F*ggot. F*g. F*cking f*g. My son's a f*g."

Other members of the cast can be heard using words like "b*tch" and graphically joking about "butt f*cking," incest, and pedophilia as their DBZ characters.

According to GameRant, the voice actors were set to appear in the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot game. It's believed that their parts have already been recorded but with this new controversy, the future of the game is unclear.

The DBZ franchise is owned by anime company Funimation, who is already in the throws of a scandalous legal battle with voice actor Vic Mignogna, who was fired after reports of sexual harassment, misconduct, and homophobia surfaced on set. He is now countersuing for defamation.

Neither Funimation or the voice actors have commented publically on the scandal at the time of publish.
