Why Does Super Have Different Sound Effects?

[Hero]

From the SSJ aura to the sound of the Kamehameha being fired, the sound effects in Dragon Ball Super are clearly different... but why? They were the same all throughout DB and DBZ. The sounds in Dragon Ball are so iconic for me that I'm having a hard time liking the battles in Super due to the sound effects alone.

I believe the theory is that Arai is too busy working on One Piece to handle another long-running show.

Arai Hidenori, who had done the sound effects up until Dragon Ball Super, is busy working on other commitments. Arai is an employee of Fizz Sound. The sound effects for Dragon Ball Super are done by another employee of Fizz Sound, Nishimura Mutsuhiro.

Is there a reason that Toei can't use the sound effects already made by Arai? (I assume that they as the large company would have the rights to them). And any word if Arai is coming back?

It may be considered bad form to re-use his effects without him at the helm. It's also potentially rude to hire a sound effects guy only to have him simply placing others' effects and not his own. It could very well be that they don't have the rights to his sound effects, either. That or production staff simply wanted something new.

I like OP, but please One Piece has over 400 episodes already just end the damn show and focus on Super.

725 to be exact which is 25 more then Dragon Ball's total count.

The One Piece manga has over 70 volumes and the author has stated that he figures that he is only about halfway done with the story. And both the manga and the anime are best sellers. So... Yeah... Not going to end so soon.

Re: OP animation

From what I've heard it's not so much weekly One Piece, but the One Piece TV specials and One Piece movies that use up all the talent and budget.

Yeah, One Piece is here to stay for at least another decade. I did hear one rumour though that an editor of One Piece claimed that the story is 70% finished.

I directly talked with Arai before BoG was released. He said he's tired of adding sound effects to footage without any actual drawings and thinking about quitting the anime industry. So, maybe he doesn't want to work on multiple TV series anymore, and he was okay with Kai because it has finished animation from the beginning.
Also, it seems both Arai and the one who's doing Super recently moved to a different company.

It would be nice if they didn't have to stop and spend 50+ chapters each on every single island before they get to the end of the Grand Line...

That's interesting. Well, it'd be sad to see Arai go, but he wants to retire then I wish him a happy retirement. I do miss hearing his Z sound effects in Super; the ki blast sounds, the squeaky-shoes and the ki aura especially.

Well if anyone did a fandub of super they could just use the original sound effects googles an amazing place to find them plus it also works to have the anime and game audio files
