Natalia Accardi

From: Dragon Ball Z, Episode 161 (1992) “Vegeta Must Pay”

This piece is an authentic original one-of-a-kind Japanese animation cel, hand-painted by studio artists at Toei Animation and used directly in the creation of the anime Dragon Ball Z.

As an original production material, this artwork is unique, with no duplicates in existence.

Created for internal studio use under the direction of Toei Animation during the original broadcast production period of Dragon Ball Z (1989–1996).
A Certificate of Authenticity will be included with your purchase.

This original animation cel features Vegeta in his Super Saiyan form, depicted during the Android / Cell Saga, identifiable by his battle armor and character design from this arc. Episode 161 is part of the intense Cell Games build-up, making artwork from this period especially sought after by collectors due to Vegeta’s pivotal character development and the saga’s importance within the Dragon Ball Z storyline.

This item is presented interleaved with MicroChamber paper, an archival material used to protect artwork by reducing harmful acids and paint fumes which can damage animation cels over time. We are currently the only seller in Japan offering anime cels presented in this manner.

Please note that this is a vintage production item. Despite careful storage, age-appropriate wear or other minor imperfections may be present. Buyers are encouraged to examine all images carefully prior to bidding.

Medium:
Original animation cel (ink and acrylic paint on celluloid)
Original genga (pencil on paper)

This item is offered unframed by default. Framing is available upon request for an additional fee.

Artwork Size:
30.2 X 25.4 cm

Size with frame: 41 X 30.5 X 1.5 cm

Condition: Good
(The animation cel and one genga sheet are adhered together as used during production. There is slight yellowing of the paper and a few age-related spots, consistent with vintage materials. The cel paint remains bright and well preserved.)

3 original genga sheets (one attached to the cel)
