Super Saiyan Goku Black Fan Made Animations (Dokkan Battle)

Super Saiyan Goku Black as a What-If in Dokkan Battle Animations! OST used: Dokkan AGL LR Jiren Standby Skill OST Finally, a manga exclusive character featured as a Dokkan Battle character, they even have a card art included! This is a What-If moment to the Future Gohan Classic Super Attacks. This is an alternate timeline rather than a direct continuation, so this is between Future Gohan and Goku Black. For these particular animations, they are rather outdated. I started creating the SSJ GB back in September 2023, but more so as a cameo transformation to the Classic Dokkan series. I began the actual SA and Nullification creations in December 2023, but only for two weeks during that month, I had completed the Nullification animation. Then I resume the creations in March 2024 for another week. With the final week of June and two weeks in July, where I finished the SA. For the final week of July, I decided to update the Intro animation. Finally, I made the card art in the first two days of August, and edited the animations and footage for you to see! Intro Animation: For this animation, I updated the Intro animation to make it as similar to the manga counterpart as possible. I did what I could with the available voice lines for GB, so I picked one that felt like a 1-on-1 confrontation, it came from Fighterz. I wanted to still keep how I animated assets in the cameo transformation, so I included some small bits in animating during the voice over. But I did the best I could with keeping as close as the cameo transformation as well. I feel this animation would be the best candidate for in-game usage, as I removed as much of the tools I used for the other animations, such as filters and camera. Nullification Animation: This was a rather short animation, but I wanted to keep this animation quick. I liked the idea of having the blast swirl around the barrier that GB creates rather than an impact blast. I feel like this was an excellent way to demonstrate great ki control from GB for what happens later on in the manga. SA animation: This animation was 50/50, as I had to decide whether I wanted to produce moves similar to the manga or create my own animations. So I picked both for this What-If, but it leans mostly towards the manga. I wanted to try out some techniques in moving the perspective a bit on the character. I also wanted to keep a bit of an open palm move, which caused the slap. I then saw the slap on Sparking Zero and I was very happy with it. I kept it rather simple so that you can see each move for each asset, also I wanted to create as few assets as possible. I did some back and forth for what I wanted to include, so the effect work in this animation is minimal, which is mostly aura. I originally wanted to change the color of the ki blade to a different color, maybe like red or purple. But I kept it yellow to keep it like “the Sun that shines in this World and its Radiance is Justice” theme. I felt that the yellow ki blade was the most appropriate for this SSJ GB. I also put emphasis on some impact frames, so I hope you like them! Unfortunately, this animation would not be possible in-game due to the limits on what can and can’t be included, such as glow filters. This animation was more of messing around with what I can and can’t do in regards to asset animation, I’m not that proficient at it so it was all a learning process. Card Art: I took inspiration and reference mostly from the Vegito Special. Seeing this posing in Card Art form was gorgeous, like it’s BEAUTIFUL. But I had to make sure it had some relation to the manga. So I decided to do the face from the manga from when GB was introduced. So, I made sure to create a pose that would fit best for a SSJ GB, and I picked this pose to make GB feel almighty and divine. It has been a while since I had done a Card Art for an animation, so I wanted to make this one to make up for the lack of manga content used for the animations. Also I should not made have all backgrounds myself, but it was necessary for these animations. It also served as a fun challenge to see what is seen and not seen in the background. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the animations and had a lot of fun creating them. If you notice an extra bang on the hair at the end, that’s me making the last asset after like 8 months and thinking, “Hey, this extra bang looks nice and gives GB that distinct look”. I originally only planned for 5 bangs on the hair, so I broke my own consistency rule at the end. Oh well! I hope you enjoy! #dokkan #dokkanbattle #ドッカンバトル
