As Dragon Ball gears up for its 40th anniversary, the iconic franchise has unveiled an exciting collaboration with My Hero Academia. This unexpected crossover brings together two of the most beloved anime and manga series, delighting fans worldwide.
Horikoshi’s Tribute to Dragon Ball
Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia, has joined the Dragon Ball Super Gallery initiative. As part of this project, Horikoshi was tasked with reimagining the cover of Dragon Ball volume 13. The original cover, created by Akira Toriyama in 1988, features Kid Goku during his younger years. Horikoshi’s rendition maintains the original composition while infusing it with his distinctive artistic style, showcasing Kid Goku in a fresh yet familiar light.
Dragon Ball Super Gallery Initiative
This collaboration is just the latest in a series of tributes celebrating Dragon Ball’s 40th anniversary. The Dragon Ball Super Gallery initiative, which began in 2021, has featured crossovers from various renowned manga creators. Artists behind series such as Naruto, Bleach, Chainsaw Man, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure have all contributed their unique takes on Dragon Ball’s iconic characters and scenes.
