Dragon Ball Super Work

Yamazaki served as animation supervisor for Dragon Ball Super episode 90, titled "Staring Down the Wall to be Overcome: Goku vs. Gohan." This episode captured a significant father-son training moment as they prepared for the Tournament of Power, requiring careful animation work to convey both the physical intensity of their sparring and the emotional subtext of their relationship. The episode's focus on internal character dynamics amid combat sequences presented unique animation challenges that fell to Yamazaki's supervision.

The episode stands as a character-driven episode amid the tournament's broader action sequences, requiring Yamazaki's attention to detail in both movement and emotional storytelling.
