In celebration of its upcoming 40th anniversary, another cover of the hit manga series, Dragon Ball, has been remastered by a popular mangaka. Ryuhei Tamura has provided the next cover in the Dragon Ball-centric gallery. This mangaka is known for a couple of original series and was an assistant to another mangaka on a different series.

Dragon Ball will be celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024. As part of the momentous occasion, the Dragon Ball Super Gallery is well underway. This is a tribute to Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, and his most popular work. Every month through November 2024 will reveal a new cover revisited artistically by a slew of mangaka.

The fourth cover in the gallery has been revealed and it is done by Ryuhei Tamura. Previous covers were done by Naruto’s Masashi Kishimoto, Bleach’s Tite Kubo, and KochiKame’s Osamu Akimoto. The latest cover is a remaster of volume 38, which is also Dragon Ball Z Volume 22: Mark of the Warlock. The cover, like most of the previous ones in the gallery, re-envisions the original cover art with Tamura’s own art style – albeit less than may be expected based on previous revisited Dragon Ball covers.

Ryuhei Tamura is the creator of Beelzebub (2009), Hungry Marie (2017), and most recently, Hard-Boiled Cop & Dolphin (2020), all of which were published in Weekly Shōnen Jump. Tamura was also an assistant to Toshiaki Iwashiro for the manga series, Psyren, from 2007. Each of these series are very different and Tamura’s art style lends itself nicely to Toriyama’s style for this cover. Tamura keeps the major elements of the original cover but adds slight tweaks. It puts the dragon into a slightly different pose, since it now has the opportunity to eat instead of just carrying food along with its passenger. Tamura blends his style to Akira Toriyama’s, making this cover simply look like a more recent one. Even the shading on the dragon’s wing matches up almost perfectly. This cover is one of the most direct imitations, with only minor differences. Previous covers incorporated new elements or re-envisioned characters in alternate styles, but this truly seems like professional fan art paying homage to the original due to the lack of major differences.

Volume 38 includes the tournament Dragon Ball’s characters fight in to get to Bobbidi (also spelled Babidi), an alien warlock. It stars Goku’s family, including the main character as well as his sons, Gohan and Goten. It also features another major fight between Goku and Vegeta when the latter is under Bobbidi’s control. The fights held by these two Saiyans are rarely dull and Vegeta’s continuous battle between good and evil is one of the series’ most compelling conflicts. Vegeta doesn’t like to be anyone’s pawn, but he also doesn’t like to be second to anyone, making him one of Goku’s best competitors as a foe, friend, and rival. With a few more years left before Dragon Ball’s 40th anniversary, there are still many more fights and conflicts to revisit with the Dragon Ball Super Gallery.
