Oh wow I found this to add the the Yamamuro Kamehameha pose collection:

Oh fucc, there's four of them. They're growing in numbers.

That was far and away the best episode of the tournament so far. What a difference having a competent director makes. Every shot was so powerful, even if it was just a still. Wonderful all around.

This was a very, very good episode. But far and away the best episode of the tournament? I don't know about that. There were some really nice shots and some good animation but I think 104 slightly tops this one, or the two come very close in my opinion. I'm curious what you felt made this episode "far and away" better compared to every other episode though, even 104?

Though I think #104 is still the best episode from a purely narrative stand-point, it was really never the pinnacle of animation even before #107. 103 on a whole was better animated than #104, while #107 has more animation than than both #103 and #104.

Am I the only one who noticed this?



It looks like Goku and Vegeta really have gotten improved designs, considering they are using the character design for GodPad's pictures. That's very good news if true, and would explain why they are looking better recently.

Here are all the cool scenes in the episode that stuck out to me in particular.

There were a lot more scenes that were really cool, but I don't think they were lengthy enough to put here.

Really great episode overall, I agree that it's the most consistently well animated and directed of the tournament.

Nakamura can take a bow. Whenever he directs, he makes everything hella atmospheric and really sells the character to the viewer through atmosphere alone. The difference between his episodes and other regulars is night and day.

Nagamine deserves credit for his SB. There were some good ideas especially in the first half, but it is Nakamura's directional sensibilities that execute it so well and that's what makes this ep a success. Powerful stuff as mentioned already. This transition scene is outstanding. Add to that, close-ups like these and you get Frost that has never looked this menacing before. I also liked this particular perspective shot. It gives a sense of unease.

I'm sure that Ishitani had some hand in it and I would love to know what her input was. Whatever it maybe, it was a good collaborative effort overall. As for the action animation, Nagamine's love for action and pace was somewhat missing so I feel like he restrained himself which is a shame, but totally understandable. The main talents are busy with the TVSP after all. What action we got was nice. Nothing out of this world, but no poor work either.

Easily, the best episode in the ToP. For the first time in the tournament, I was invested in what was going on. Episodes like this also prove that the best flashy and explosive action animation is not a necessity to make a good episode and also the importance of an enshutsu(episode director). And, on a slightly off-topic note, Nakao absolutely killed it.

Boy no exaggeration about the directing, here. This arc continues to have the best directing of DBS, just wish to see some of these directions in the other arcs. Everything was on point this episode even the music! Narrative, music, animation and direction I think this maybe my favourite arc of DBS so far.

This arc is good, but FT arc is still better in my opinion. Apart from some very good episodes this arc has been average.

A tweet from Ishitani. This is what google translated,

I was excited at the moment when I read Conte Nagamine's manager of the second half part ... I got excited ... I felt accurate advice and correction instructions from Mr. Nakamura. I was fortunate to be able to do a variety of first jobs under the direction of both directors.

I really didn't get the Nagamine part. Can plz someone give share an accurate translation of that ? She also said that she was instructed not to disclose her work, by Toei.

Edit: Btw 'Conte', 'Manager'. Is google a Chelsea fan ?

[Saikyo no Senshi]

Ishitani was SB/ED of A part. She was responsible for the awesome first half scenes. Nakamura more likely assisted her, but yeah Ishitani did all the good shit.

That's nice. Thanks for sharing. Btw can you read Japanese ?

[Saikyo no Senshi]

A little. Someone had already translated her tweet and I just came here to correct myself before anybody else could lol and also confirm Ishitani's work.

Narratively the Trunks arc was better, but coupled with everything else I am enjoying this arc more if that makes sense. Some episodes of the Trunks arc look I dunno how to describe but plain I guess in comparison to some episodes of this arc and the art and animation on the whole has been a lot more consistent in this arc too. Plus Goku gets a new form this arc that doesn't look to be like SS3/SSGSS where he has attained it prior to initial reveal so that is a plus.

Studio should of just put a police officer uniform on that Maji Kayo guy. Waaaaay too on the nose with the homage there.

Man, Ishitani did a great job on the first half, wonder why she wasn't credited. Hopefully this means she's going to be a regular episode director and storyboarder pretty soon.

Am I the only one who noticed this?

Yeah, I noticed too, That Goku face is definitely an improvement. If these are updated character designs I hope we get to see the full things soon.

I feel like #4 could be on the Booru.

I'll have to cut it down a little.
EDIT: Here's a shorter version I've created.

I said 4, not 5, but that might be worth a try too, but I don't know if it will stay.

What parts of 4 would you suggest cutting out?

I think it's good how it is.
