Multiple audio clips were slowly revealed by Nick Rekieta over the course of his Rekieta Law livestream , which he claims violates Funimation's own workplace guidelines. Rekieta also notes that he obtained the clips "absolutely, 100% legally" and that he is distributing them in a journalistic capacity. Funimation notably distributes (and facilitates English dub work for) Dragon Ball Z, which is created by Toei Animation.While they vary in subject matter and levels of offensiveness, one particularly egregious clip seemingly involves Schemmel speaking as Goku hurling homophobic slurs at the character's son. Another Dragon Ball clip uses licensed music in the background while multiple characters play out an "audio drama" about sodomy. A brief recording also apparently features the voice of Chi-Chi making an incest-related joke.Among the alleged leaked recordings are the voices of Krillin, Mr. Popo, Yamcha, Mr. Satan, and more. IGN reached out to Funimation concerning the recordings, to which the company responded: "Funimation has no comment regarding your story." As we do not have more official information from Funimation, we cannot confirm the validity of these recordings, though the performances appear to be identical to those in the Dragon Ball franchise.These leaks ultimately caused Funimation to trend on Twitter and other social media platforms, with fans reacting to the shocking audio clips. Funimation recently cut ties with voice actor Vic Mignogna , known for working on various anime like Fullmetal Alchemist and Dragon Ball Super: Broly , following sexual harassment allegations.
