Japanese animation supervisor who supervised critical episodes during Dragon Ball Super's Universe Survival Saga, overseeing some of the tournament's most intense and visually demanding moments.
Chihiro Tanaka served as animation supervisor on four pivotal episodes during the Universe Survival Saga of Dragon Ball Super. He oversaw episode 95, which features Frieza's arrival and rampage, episode 104 showcasing Goku and Hit's united front against high-stakes competition, episode 111 presenting the climactic confrontation between Hit and Jiren, and episode 120 detailing the third universe's assassination tactics. These episodes represent some of the tournament's most visually complex and dramatic moments, requiring careful coordination between animation teams.
Tanaka's supervision during the Universe Survival Saga reflects the demanding nature of coordinating animation quality during Dragon Ball Super's most action-intensive arc. Supervising animation across multiple universes, transformations, and high-speed combat sequences requires technical expertise and the ability to maintain visual consistency across different animation studios and talent pools.
