Returning to the topic of Hideaki Sorachi, just below we leave you his cover tribute to the series, specifically, recreating volume 16 whose cover featured Goku and Piccolo. It was the last issue before starting with the Z era of the anime in volume 17, so we are facing a historic delivery.
What do you think of Hideaki Sorachi’s style? Has he done justice to the cover with his art or does he not reach the level of Akira Toriyama? If you want to get this illustration you just have to buy the new one Saikyo Jump to enjoy it on its back cover.
If you liked this curious one, we already let you know that there are many covers to be published, and we have even left some out, so we do not rule out recovering them when you least expect it. Do you also dare to recreate the covers?
