In the Japanese animation industry the English word 'cut' (written in katakana as 'katto') refers to a shot. Every time the camera 'cuts' away to a different character or object is a 'cut'. For example, this scene from the Yuu Yuu Hakusho movie uses three cuts. This masterful fight scene from Episode #73 uses fifteen cuts. Rookie key animators are paid 4,000¥ a cut and the average key animator can usually finish two cuts a day, most cuts requiring multiple key animation frames to give the movement solid structure.
In-between animators can usually do up to fifteen drawings a day and are paid about 200-300¥ a drawing.

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.
The picture didn't show and still doesn't show for me, so I wouldn't have known dude.

I really hope that's the case, too. His work for Super overall has been really damn good, and I'm hoping to see more of it.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on a translation. Have asked several translators I know, but they've yet to get back to me.
Decided to give this a whirl in Google translate, and this what I got from the hackneyed English translations: In the first line he basically says he watched Dragon Ball Super. In the second line, it seems as though Ken states his part in Episode 5 was the before and after Goku fired his Kamehameha wave while he was a Super Saiyan 3. In the third line, he also states it was fun to draw Bubbles and was happy about it. And in the fourth line... Google gave up translating anything and gave me total gibberish. Something about a cut screen being dark or something like that.

The Super Saiyan 3 section of that episode was definitely better than the action that came before. Not perfect by any means, but there were some good bits there. Man, if only Ken had more time!
The lovely Herms got back to me with a translation. It says that he did everything around the "ki-like" Super Saiyan 3 Kamehameha and that it was fun to draw Bubbles.

Ah so Tate did that Kamehameha! Interesting. Guess I was wrong on both accounts (not completely I suppose but I was too early)! Still, I really liked the way Ken utilized his repeat frames and how he drew Goku.

It can't be helped, I'm a cranky old man stuck in my ways! Also, have I ever told you that those pants do make your ass look big but I'm totally okay with that?
Wow, what did they do to Tate's Kamehame-Ha? That was perfectly fine.
