I can't tell who that is.
Looks like it might be a partial Ide correction though.

I've never been good at spotting Kitano like you guys are but something about that reminds me of him.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

I'm sticking to Kitano and Ide for that shot. The ear shape is a little off from what Ide normally does, but the actual ear detail itself is very distinct.

Some of the stuff in the NEP for 96 looks a lot like Kitano.
I guess he could be supervising one of the episodes and animating on the other since there's been such a big gap since his last episode.
Or he's just not on 96 and we mistook someone for him. Looking at those brows on the 97 image those are actually very Kitano.

Oh, derp. I just woke up, so I thought #97 was #96 for a second. Huh, that's totally thrown a spanner in the works.
I got nothing, then. Actually, I wonder if that's an Ide correction of Nii's work.

Maybe Wanpack are doing 2 episodes so fast and this one is supervised by Yui kinoshita i'd guess

At this point I just wish they would stop doing four spike thingy on the end of Goku's hair. It looks very unappealing.

I don't get why they draw Goku with 4 spikes if they drew Black and Goten with 3. Those two characters look better for a reason, four spikes is too much.

Is this... Kitano?
Isn't this Itai's work (or at least a correction done by him)?
The nose, ear, and position of the mouth remind me a lot of his work.

It seemed like he and Kitano's names were switched around in the previews, considering 96 looks like Kitano's work, so I'm pretty sure this is Itai's work.

Doesn't look anything like Itai, to me.
I'm fairly sure Itai is still with Kitano on this upcoming episode. The Grand Priest has an Itai looking ear here:

Fair point, that ear of the Grand Priest definitely looks like an Itai ear.

Don't know about you guys, but I heavily doubt that Kitano is doing 96, maybe is Itai and Nii that are on this one since I think I spotted Nii in the NEP, but there's also the posibility that he's doing only key animation which I doubt as well.
Even the shading is the same.

One Piece: Episode of East Blue is directed by Ootsuka Takashi with Satou Masayuki as the animation supervisor. Those two have a lot of contacts, so don't be surprised to see some Dragon Ball Super staff appear there.

That shading is on the character sheets, so I don't think it says very much. It's not particularly unique.

That Goku looks horrendous. It's funny because we can inmediatelly tell when something is off but if someone would tell me "hey correct this image so that It looks better" I would have a little bit of a hard time figuring out how to fix it. I guess I could give it a try though...

Even with that inclination line to the eye? I think I haven't seen that kind of shading besides Nii's one.

Yup. Heck, you can see it on one of Itai's shots above:

There's any shot of Itai with the same shading on 88? because since he was paired with Nii on 82, I think he just adapted that shading. I still don't know lol, sorry for being a bother

Everyone does it:
[spoiler]Tsuji does it
Tu does it
Ide does it
Karasawa does it
Yamamuro does it

Again, you can find this stuff on the character sheets
