Dragon Ball Super Style
Shuuichiro Manabe's work on Dragon Ball Super stands out for its distinctive angular visual approach that deviates significantly from the series' standard character designs. His supervised episodes, concentrated during major saga moments including the Beerus battles and the Tournament of Power's climactic stretch, brought an immediately recognizable visual identity despite appearing less frequently than other supervisors.
