The Greatest Showdown! Episode 130 Animation Breakdown - Dragon Ball Super

[@AnimeAjay]

THEY. DID. IT. What was your favourite scene?

[@xem2476]

EVERYTHING!

[@superexclusive452]

ALL OF THEM! IT WAS PERFECT

[@reck6328]

All of shida

[@ultrainstinctgoku1926]

AnimeAjay they weren't kidding when they titled the episode "THE GREATEST SHOWDOWN OF ALL TIME"

[@blarp7948]

I had already decided this was far and away the best dragon ball had ever looked after that first scuffle with Jirens little spirit bomb throw

[@AlfredKamon]

Holy shit I didn't realize Goku was surfing on Jiren's blasts with his mini Kamehamehas. The attention to detail was absurd in this episode!

[@michelevianello1683]

Same, details like these make you appreciate AnimeAjay's reviews even more!

[@umairhaiderkhan]

I am still a bit salty about those Aura effects hindering the animation Maybe they should lessen them up or hand draw those or reduce the opacity or something

[@primeddesign]

Umair Haider Khan I wouldn't mind an aura-less version of this episode

[@deltaforcegamingcorp.2232]

Same here

[@ChronosLawliet123]

Same here!

[@ImAlexGoodwin]

Tate and Shida were the absolute stars of this episode. Nikaido, Higashide, and Miuma all did great too. We really need to thank all the staff members on this series for working under such intense pressure! 130 was *PHENOMENAL!*

[@theofiloshatzigiannis5308]

I'mAlex Shida is number one

[@amirkenan1]

Tate, Higashide and Nikaido were all equally great. Shida though just dicked on all of them combined by taking things to to the next level.

[@betadrive3357]

once Super is over, I'd love to see you delve deeper into the work history and greatest moments of Dragon Ball's most famous animators.

[@user-pw7lz7tw1h]

Yeah, like Takeo Ide

[@5stargrim]

Beta Drive I totally agree, and some deeper assessments of their growth over the time they've participated in supers production.

[@JaydenAbbas]

thats actually a great idea

[@dontbother9473]

Beta Drive More of how Tate became shittier since Z ended.

[@5stargrim]

4 That would be totally awesome

[@EL-rj4jl]

I've been waiting all damn day for this!

[@wayge]

As soon as i finished the ep i had to learn more

[@blarp7948]

When I read this episode's title as "THE GREATEST SHOWDOWN OF ALL TIME" I thought it was fairly pretentious... but honestly, they were barely exaggerating.

[@JayJay-mk9xg]

Blarp saitama v boros meruem v netero pito v gon naruto v sasuke majin vegeta v ss2 goku ss goku v 100% frieza goku v cell goku piccolo v radditz vegeta v jiren

[@h.r.paperstacks1515]

Son Gokû I’m certain the “of all time” only referred to the DB series and none of those DB fights looked/ were animated better than this fight.

[@basicplayer9390]

Son Gokû sorry dude in terms of animation this is the best db fight and its a fact and if u know a db fight better animated than this I would like to see it.

[@pedreiva]

Son Gokû Get rid of all but the Naruto one. Netero vs Meruem was basically just an old dude swatting a powerful fly and Gon vs Pitou was the greatest BEATDOWN of all time. No showdown to be seen there. One Punch Man's gag gets rid of all forms of tension when you know that he's eventually gonna serious punch and end the match. In the end, Naruto vs Sasuke is the only real contender out of the flights you listed.

[@ijustwantmyphonecall6947]

Basic Player In terms of animation sure. But no way in hell is it the best db fight. Hell no. In fact there were fights in Z that rivaled the speed shown in this episode.

[@bocodamondo]

naoki tate's a frkkn beast! he pretty much handled the entire first part of the fight while also providing some short key frame animation for other previous episodes...i wish i could work as fast as him...brb finding a dragon radar. i agree about the CG effects, the aura's they got (while nicely representing blue calm and red angry) were really getting in the way of enjoying the great character animations (espacily the shida part) shida's cut was amazing as i expected it to be, plus that bootifuly detailed vegeta he gave us

[@まーくくん-z7i]

Can't wait for your next Multiverse Episode:) You're sorta like yamamuro;)

[@thatonestormtrooper2760]

bocodamondo yo I just came here to say tate is severely underrated by the fandom. I love the way he ridiculously stretches features. Dragon ball characters are supposed to be insanely fast and they way he draws makes it look like the world bends around their speed

[@user-pw7lz7tw1h]

bocodamondo shida seems to be making room on his schedule for the new movie!

[@bocodamondo]

yeah i think i heard he will be in it, in which case thats great ^^ revival of f did felt empty without his input in it

[@thewarrior4724]

It was good in terms of animation, but in terms of animated art of stills...it was Absolute horseshit! I expected Much better from Tate.

[@iansimmons8826]

Naoki 'BIG BALLS' Tate

[@preds43]

Fun Fact: Tate ALSO directed the Art/Animation for Episode 5.... D:

[@iansimmons8826]

thunder wolf So....?

[@preds43]

So.... He directed the Worst Episode, AS WELL as the Best Episode in terms of Animation. Let that sink in.

[@Pakkun247]

thunder wolf so

[@preds43]

...So... It's both Funny, and Neat.

[@TheMugenVideos]

This is what I'm talking about! Probally the best visual looking Dragon Ball episode ever made!

[@michelevianello1683]

Agreed, up there with SSJ2 Goku vs. Kid Buu

[@GameFinisher]

Wait is over now

[@ThunderMasterGaming]

Game Finisher One more episode left next week

[@Shizilol]

131 is the last episode

[@ethan2163]

Highfield Hunting There are many big DB youtubers that mention him often.

[@GStefanes_]

Takahashi is good, but Shida is god

[@TheSonicfan91]

Stefanes takahashi is like a mini shida

[@oscarRifa]

The difference between them is that Takahashi makes way longer scenes and better classic style draws.

[@abdullahhamid2723]

Stefanes takahashi is on another level and shida has his own representation

[@zerefdragneel2233]

takahashi's art is good but his animation is not that fluid and smooth

[@ThatGuyErazo]

@@abdullahhamid2723 Takahashi has beautiful, art, not saying that Shida doesn't, but Naotoshi Shida's art is a landmark for Yuya Takahashi to hit.

[@AverageBananas12]

i feel like the only person who can properly display Ultra Instict the best is Tate, himself.

[@itzfusionplex4266]

AverageBananas Yeah, the speed is just crazy. He should always animate episodes with UI.

[@ijustwantmyphonecall6947]

Tuscan417™ Films Just another way dragon ball super can't even keep up with it's own set rules. Terrible show.

[@xxstealerxx]

That anger might be why Goku's MUI ran out shortly after though

[@alvarostockle]

I can't believe I've seen people saying that his part was crap. This people is... I dunno. I don't understand.

[@supermysticsonic2]

I just want my phone call Cute trolling.

[@xem2476]

This is probably one of the best episodes of DB in general. Not just DBS

[@vlinnstone6919]

Agreed.

[@justasinglesummon3912]

Yea I agree with you on that

[@michelevianello1683]

Yes, no doubt on this.

[@citrusaurus1970]

Get ready for the people taking screenshots of Tate calling it "bad animation"

[@michelevianello1683]

Act like the better one, and ignore things you don't like 4. People may accept criticism, but not when it comes with personal attacks. This way your argument loses much if not every credibility and you honestly come out as desperately butthurt. This way, you exclude yourself from the discussion from the get go. Finally, as Ajay explained in this review, and what seems most of the fanbase's consensus, this episode has very strong grounds to be one of the best in the series, animation-wise.

[@PabloMartinezDutra]

Best animated episode in Dragon Ball franchise's history. Period.

[@Leetbeast]

Voku what i said is true its one of the best episodes ever so fucking good

[@Leetbeast]

It is one of the best episodes/fights ever.

[@kristian5526]

Voku I don't see why you're so upset. This is truly the best Dragonball has ever looked (other than the movie) and to disagree with it you're gonna need to have something backing it up

[@Leetbeast]

Kristian he is a stupid ignorant kid its an amazing episode

[@wesley5729]

Leetbeast but compared to the entire history of animation and animated fights this is only "good". Shows like One Punch Man and Mob Psycho blow this out of the water.

[@Conceptcreator]

The details and even tge small details where amazing!! Like the blue light effect from his eyes when moving fast! Amazing!! Also great video again!!!

[@oceanmeme6862]

I gotta give a shout-out to the animation staff for mastering Ultra Instinct just so they could deliver this spectacular episode. Bravo! Also, happy Ajay is best Ajay~

[@Monroah]

Jesus, this episode. What a beauty. From Tate, to Nikaido, to Higashide, to Shida, to everyone else, this was amazing. Storyboard was incredibly dynamic, and it was about 75-85% action all the way through! Like Ajay said, if this is just these guys on a TV SHOW, then the movie is going to look fucking fantastic, considering the feats we've seen here, and I can't fucking wait until we do.

[@cooldragoncool3046]

This episode took db to entire new level i still use to watch it again and again 😍😍 And do you know in this particular episode that there were 25 animators involved in it such an amazing job This episode was fire 😍😍

[@TheBlond49]

Tate, Manabe and Shida, what a delightful episode.

[@pc_screen5478]

Did your neighbors complain about your constant moaning?

[@yahsworld2940]

I'm still so glad Super's last episode is going to be animated by Takahashi. Perfect choice for the ending.

[@infinitedeathloop5517]

chad christopher but Yamamorro though...

[@lucashubbard5998]

Super Savage Akira actually, Yamamuro's corrections in the preview for 131 are there, but the the core of Takahashi's developed style is still there.

[@littlekimmy3345]

17:48 For some reason this picture really gives off a ton of DBZ vibes. Idk if its the shading or something but its nostalgic af.

[@flotillacairn8904]

Little Kimmy yes me too when i saw this, it reminded me how dbz goku looked back in the days and this is why i like yuya takahashi because of his nostalgic style.

[@yusef326]

Can you do top 10 or 5 best animated scenes of Dragonball Super after the show is finished? (Only picking 1 piece of animation per animator)

[@ashishks77]

TATE & MANABE are the Over power and legend in the production. No word's for the work they done in the episode specially TATE who is controversial in the starting,this is his redemptions episode that he is top guy in the company. Awesome work Anime Ajay, detailing the episode with very unique idea. Great work👏👌✌

[@DragonballBlack]

Swear to god the movie better look Studio Ghibli fam

[@SoumilSahu]

Dragon Ball Black Ghibli is on another level. Almost EVERYTHING is hand drawn.

[@nicolegrimaldi3167]

but how do they compare to unlimited budget works a.k.a ufotable

[@crongo4284]

Soumil Sahu huh? Most anime _is_ hand drawn. This episode was entirely hand drawn.

[@SoumilSahu]

GH05T Sorry, I must rephrase. What I meant was that it's drawn on paper, and not digitally. The coloring is on paper too. Also, there is no digital effects work either. That's drawn as well.(at least whenever Miyazaki was in supervision)

[@SoumilSahu]

Also, this episode is not entirely hand drawn. Most of the coloring and almost all of the effects are digital. The key frames are obviously hand drawn though.

[@TheHypersonic55]

Great breakdown dude, I was waiting for this all day and it was totally worth it! I bloody loved this episode, from an animation standpoint it has some of the best scenes not only of Super but of DB in general. I felt echoes of some of my favourite moments from Goku and Cell's fights in DBZ, Goku and Beerus' fight in Battle of Gods and some others. I haven't seen so much elastic, aggressive and continuous movement like this in DB ever and just when I thought I'd seen enough, it kept going and getting better especially in that second half! Plus I love how Jiren totally turned into the Hulk with that power up scene haha. But in all seriousness though, Jiren in terms of his vision design as always looked a little plain when compared to notable adversaries of the past like Frieza, Cell and Buu, but in the last few episode and this one espeically the artists have done a great job at making him look a lot more detailed appealing tothe eye.

[@SubBubz]

I cannot believe this was 4 years ago.

[@mlwarrior9112]

Two things(there were more things but these were the most important)that stood out in my mind after watching this episode : 1. Shida is a monster when it comes to animation. 2. 17 is the MVP of the Tournament and whoever says it's Vegeta is a liar. A goddamn liar!

[@TheRealBiglolo]

Im a vegeta fan but 17 is definitely the MVP of the tournament

[@alexgroot2508]

I appreciate this episode even more after watching this! Great episode, really delivered overall and you broke it down very well. Well worth sitting through 18 minutes of video ;p keep it up man, you rock!

[@MrHat816]

PROUD WARRIOR SON GOKU......

[@fabianopazinato5039]

[@linzxd246]

[@Rationalific]

I would say that this was the best animated episode not only of Dragon Ball Super, but of the entire Dragon Ball franchise. Well done to everyone who worked on this. And to you, thanks for the animation breakdown.

[@unironicallyablueraspberry4959]

What I especially love about this episode was The choreography. They didn’t just spam ATAHTAHTAHTAH! Like usual. instead they use Ki balls and blasts unique ways we’ve never seen before. The fisticuffs were awesome as well.

[@michaelsell6328]

Couldn't wait for your take on this. I was blown away by this episode. The staggering rotating and movement of characters within the shot is ridiculously difficult and is all over this episode. Honestly one of the better animations I've seen movie or show. IN terms of animated shows, this is the best I've seen.

[@Shizilol]

Yamamoru and Takahashi in the same episode (131), hopefully when the extended preview came I hope that Yamamoru doesn’t correct all of takahashi’s work

[@flotillacairn8904]

ThatFlankOne true

[@oscarRifa]

Man that piece of shit "correct" things that it doesn't need to be corrected.

[@amiqai]

He did tho, but it was OK.

[@Mr_Darbus]

Thank you so much for making these videos over Super's production. I've never really considered the people behind the show, but this series has really helped me appreciate the work they put in. Your knowledge of cinematography and extremely detailed breakdown of each episode has made this series so enjoyable thing to watch!

[@PrinceRevolver]

The flashback animation is what I hope the series uses going forward.

[@alfonsomartinez2751]

Prince Revolver YES that was what came to my mind in that moment That goku vs vegeta still looked perfect

[@IAmFooly]

When the episode was so lit you almost forgot that 17 is still alive Great video as always 🔥

[@pockystyx4087]

Meanwhile, in the manga. . . Krillin and Tien were eliminated in the first 5 seconds of the ToP

[@infinitedeathloop5517]

Pocky Styx report for feed

[@eminiclam]

you mean "dragon ball super rushed". I love that manga, good art, everything happens so fast that you don't give a shit about whats going on or any character in general.

[@MetalGames95]

This show isn't perfect but it sure has been an amazing ride. I think people give Dragon Ball Super a hard time a bit too much sometimes.

[@Crix525PR]

Nah fam, its fine that we can't get episodes like this one at a consistent basis (cuz frankly its unrealistic and best saved for climatic moments), but super has suffered from poor production quality as a whole throught its entire life cycle. We need people to bitch so we can atleast get some level of consistency throughout an entire season.

[@MetalGames95]

VL Fountain Yes and the improvements show in this last arc. It was all rushed due to the success Battle of Gods had, maybe if everything goes well they might be able to regroup and have one lead writer and another lead animator.

[@steelblake]

I enjoy the show overall, but i feel that if it has a more stronger direction that would been great. The quality of the show has been improving and they have been less and less poorly episodes since the future Trunks arc and that trully shows in the tournament of power and finally i´m glad the show goes out with a bang.

[@ac30024]

VL Fountain no we don't. .we need to go easy since its just an anime and most of us watch it free!

[@MetalGames95]

Ankush Chopde also true. Not to mention toei usually listens to the Japanese audience first. People have this misconception that they make a huge impact through the web on eastern media, which it's not that great of an impact yet.

This is the type of episodes that surpasses DBZ. Come at me. I'm done putting DBZ on a throne. I'll give credit where credit it's due.

[@deonterector1208]

Zapatista The bad writing holds the episode back.... Dragon Ball Z episode 184 with subs is also better with Gohan breaking through while Unmei no hi - Tamashii vs tamashii theme was playing that had tears falling down my eyes and DBZ episode 179 is better.

[@rfar21]

Deonte Rector I was talking mostly animation wise, but don't get me wrong; the Gohan episode where he turns ssj2 it's actually my favorite in all DBZ history. Never the less, I grew up in Mexico, and that scene in particular, doesn't have the music, and for me, that made it so much better, it feels more personal and emotional. I love the sub version as well, but since I grew up with that dub (one of the best around the world in those years 90"s), I prefer it that way. I encourage you to give it a look and tell me what you think if you want. And I'm not saying it's a better version than japanese, just the one I grew up with and the one I love. Peace.

[@deonterector1208]

Zarathustra I also grew up the Dub version it's still good til this day but for me the sub overshadowed the Dub for me.

[@thename1132]

Geets Actually ssj 3 is Goku’s biggest asspull.

[@thename1132]

Geets Has no build up, isn’t referenced once, somehow puts him above Majin buu, isn’t considered an asspull, are you sure I’m the one trolling?

[@klmknop]

I forgot how godly Shida actually is. His animation was a treat to the eye. Amazing work ❤️

[@GeekedOutNeckbeard]

I had to watch this SO many fucking times over... This episode was just.. Solid 10/10 for me... I REALLY wish that the WHOLE series was like this from start to finish. Dragonball Super has JUST proven that it COULD have this level of quality at a CONSISTENT rate. This beats like every battle they've had in this series, I don't think ANY battle has had me THIS hyped before FUCK! I forgot how it feels to be jumping around my room in excitment and hype over a battle of Dragonball. The only issue I have is 17 still being alive. While, during the episode, it was slightly hyped, it also immediately left me when I think about how useless that sacrifice feels when you realize he hasn't died, or the fact that he is legit removed FROM the tournamnet as they believed him to be dead. No Grand Kai this episode or Zeno's to be saying anything or adding anything to the series. The fact that they didn't disqualify Jiren for attempted fucking MURDER is weird considering that the rules are said "Don't kill" and.. well, Jiren just tried to kill. But, this episode still gets a 10/10 as those were just nitpicks. Fuck! This was a good episode. I need to watch again lol.

[@MemerCat0]

But they can't always do this most of these animators had 3-4 months for animating this episode there needs to be alot of animators to have a consistent high quality animations especially for a weekly series and also I think they can do fluent animations if they are going with the movie art style

[@antijoshbackup7544]

This episode really is top tier. So happy this is the send off to the series. Great video as always and i can't wait till next week!

My mind was blown by the whole episode. If you hadn’t broken down naotoshi shida’s scene, I would never have even realized that goku uses balls of energy from his hands and feet to grind over all of Jirens beams. That’s absolutely insane. That just shows his genius and attention to detail. Great video as always.

[@METAsMETAs]

So a friend of mine said this ep had bad animation. So he showed me little did I know he pauses in mid frame and said “ look at this man it’s so bad” then I said go “look at Disney’s animations” he mediately Took back that statement on the animations

[@aeronero7226]

I always wanted natoshi shida, yuya takahashi to work together on one episode. However, now it seems that their art and animation styles are similar but one thing sets them apart. Its the Lighting. Shida works with light to amplify the shadow or shading on the characters. Takahashi works really well with shadow or shading. They both have character shape down perfectly. just different camera angles. Shida has crazy camera angles, while takahashi has regular angles. I couldnt put them in one episode. Too much for me.

[@crongo4284]

Camera angles depend on the storyboard

[@aeronero7226]

GH05T I seem to leave out storyboard. Idk why

[@aeronero7226]

But they didn't play big parts.

[@Scarlight_JB]

GH05T Also Shida is more fluid and a bit more on model while Takahashi uses Z designs and his art is so nostalgic but isn’t as smooth

[@toxicmeijin]

I don't know how you do it man, I can't tell the differences between different people. Great analysis!

[@dinu7160]

LMAO, the intro was fire

[@timboslice5351]

it's always so nice to get this extended look on almost every episode of super right after watching it. thank! you!

[@Dotizera_]

Yo this episode was the greatest!

[@Rosa_percs]

I'm actually addicted to your videos bro you really know your stuff

[@kerms2864]

THE INTRO AGAIN LOL

[@tobertcordless2491]

I have a thought in the back of mind about how Toriyama made Ultra Instinct just for Tate..

[@saulloll8547]

Idk what to comment....... I'll just say, I miss her😢

[@TheBrandwich]

Fantastic. I am going to miss your breakdowns week to week. Keep it up, dude.

[@THEFEZFEZ]

Ajay is it possible that this is actually the best animated episode of any anime, ever? If not what beats it?

[@AnimeAjay]

Shippuuden #167, One-Punch Man #12, Mob Psycho 100 #12, Quite a few, honestly.

[@THEFEZFEZ]

Cool, I'll have to check those out. Thanks.

[@emperorsupra9014]

AnimeAjay Lol idiots would disagree with that shipudden choice, god that episode was gorgeous, wish people actually knew what good animation was so we wouldve gotten more of that looseness

[@Whocares0009]

emblemfire Add Original Naruto 133 ( in my opinion best action episode in all anime which i have ever seen), Naruto Shippuden 82 (no action in this episode though still masterpiece) in your list as well. I'll try to find more if you want from Naruto franchise. Anyway but for me this episode was one of the best mind blowing episode i have ever seen so good job Mr.Tate, Mr. Shida and others. Sorry my bad you asked for best animated so maybe 82 might not be there as it does not have so much animation like dbs 130 but still god level directing with brilliant character animation (character animation may not require many sheet like action sequence but still it is as difficult) and some of the best storyboards so it deserves some credit there. Though original Naruto 133 is pure 7-9 minutes of Norio matsumoto action sequence at its best under Atsushi wakabayashi direction. Moreover Atsuko Inoue as well.

[@yazanhamdan84]

I was waiting for this video all day. This is by far the best looking episode in the entire series, even better than Resurrection of F movie imo

[@BlackDelegation]

I know nothing about animation outside of stuff I learned from watching this channel so I apologise if this is a stupid question. Is the elaborate and overly flashy Mastered Ultra Instinct more difficult to create then the standard animation? Just curious if Mastered Ultra Instinct will add extra work to the animatiors workload if Super does come back. Again, excuse my ignorance and thanks in advance to anyone who is able to answer.

[@taren5245]

Well, most of the aura effects on UI Goku is pretty much CG stuff. So in a way, it doesn't really create more workload. The animators could either work with a shit ton of CG effects (like in this episode) or they can just go with the standard dull fights (such as UI Goku vs Kefla).

[@christianmarcotte4068]

Taren the animators don’t work with the cg stuff

[@citrusaurus1970]

I'm so happy that this episode worked. And I haven't found anyone really saying this episode was bad. That's a first for Super

[@Rapingdinosour12rawr]

Lol every dragon ball video that mentions animation links animeajay so that he can explain it.

[@tori-botsensei712]

That's a good thing.

[@ieldridge89]

I’m not a big fan of a lot of the DB community or whatever. But you’re stuff is great, very educational man. Keep it up!
