Super Saiyan Goku fills the frame in this vertical pan cel from Dragon Ball Z. Pan cels are among the most sought-after format in the Dragon Ball market precisely because they were built to move through a scene rather than hold a single static pose. The camera travels the length of the image, and the result is a piece that is physically larger and compositionally more dramatic than a standard production cel. When that pan is built entirely around Goku in full Super Saiyan transformation, golden hair blazing against a hand-painted master production background, you have one of the series' defining visual signatures captured in its intended form.
The lot brings together the finished cel and its matching douga, the pencil layout drawing on paper that preceded it in the production chain. Together, they document exactly how a scene of this scale was built at Toei, from pencil through to the painted acetate that went under the camera.
The Toei studio sticker is still present on the bag, indicating that the cel, the background, and the douga have been kept together as an unbroken set since they left the studio. There is some line fading and handling wear consistent with age, and the cel has adhered to the background over time. This is a strong Dragon Ball Z pan cel, and represents a fine opportunity to acquire a piece of genuine production scale and visual impact. Dimensions: 46 cm x 27 cm (18.11" x 10.63")
Estimate: £7,500 - £15,000 Ω
