Akira Toriyama marks a before and after in the history of manga and anime. He is one of the fathers of the entertainment industry in Japan and on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his most iconic series, Dragon Ballmangakas from the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ offer him a well-deserved tribute.
How do they do that? Well, illustrating each of the original Dragon Ball covers in their own style. Under this initiative of the Shueisha publishing house, we have previously seen the works of the Demon Slayer creators designing cover number six of this series of tributes to Akira Toriyama.
Let’s go for 23 and according to what you review Hobby Consoles Now it has been the turn of the creator of Black Clover, Yūki Tabata.
In case you don’t know this story, we tell you that the adventures focus on Asta and Yuno, two orphans who live in a world where magic is common and each individual has magical abilities.
Asta, unlike the others, does not possess any magical abilities and is considered an outcast. However, he has a big dream of becoming the Wizard King, the leader of the Clover Kingdom’s Magic Knights. Yuno, on the other hand, is a magical prodigy with great talent.
The plot follows the adventures of Asta and Yuno as they strive to achieve their dreams and protect their kingdom from external threats. The story features exciting magical battles, friendship, self-improvement, and interesting character development.
Just like this style of the Black Clover image above, the illustration of Gotenks, fusion between Goten and Trunksfrom Dragon Ball Z. With the same style as Yūki Tabata’s strokes, we appreciate the Saiyan warrior in his normal phase.
That is to say, the one that has the purple and black colors combined in his hair and the typical suit of this fusion. Yūki Tabata adds the extravagant look of this character, so as not to lose track of Akira Toriyama’s style, but maintaining his way of drawing.
