KBABZ (aka Kal) @kbabz.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Question! When reading the Kanzenban a while back, it struck me that the new panels for Chapter 516 didn't look obviously expanded. I wonder if Kanzenban has the original sketches and they were cropped for some reason in the original release? 100
Kanzenshuu @kanzenshuu.com · 27/04/2026Not QUITE sure what you mean — but yes, tankobon is slightly cropped on the sides compared to the original WJ publication due to different paper dimensions (image 1), compared to the kanzenban which shows the full width of the original page (image 2). Compare how much you can see of Ox King’s hand. 130
KBABZ (aka Kal) @kbabz.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Ah! I meant with the specific panels in Chapter 516. I feel Kanzenban shows the original panel artwork before being "cropped" for Shonen Jump, because the art doesn't show any obvious signs of being expanded later. The panel of Goku doing the thumbs-up is a great comparison. 000
