While there has been no official announcement at this time. Cynthia goes on to state in her post that this news comes from a very trusted source within Funimation. Answering questions from the fans, Cynthia also said that she believes that all of the cast members will be returning to reprise their roles. Justin Cook, voice of Yusuke Urameshi and Christopher Sabat, voice of Kazuma Kuwabara previously stated their eagerness to return to the characters back in 2019. “Anytime we can return to the skins of these characters,” Cook said. “That’s awesome.”
Cynthia Cranz, the experienced voice actress behind many of our anime heroes including Dragon Ball’s Chi-Chi and Yu Yu Hakusho’s Botan took to social media to share that the cast of Yu Yu Hakusho is set to return.
Funimation first announced that they would be releasing the OVAs, subbed and dubbed, on Funimation Now back in 2019 at the New York Comic Con. No release date was given at the time. And there were no other mentions of the dubbing until now. This led many fans to believe that the project had been cancelled.
