Adi Shankar has had many important people to count on over the past few years, which has helped Castlevania achieve the success it has achieved on Netflix. Also among his collaborators was Naseer Pasha, Castlevania’s chief animator, although in recent years he has also focused on a Dragon Ball fan project.
The animator gathered his collaborators in the independent studio Stray Dog Team:

That The result was the short film Legend – A Dragon Ball Tale, which takes the viewer to an alternate world of Akira Toriyama’s series. Here Chichi and Goku face off at the Tenkaichi Tournament in the famous match that led to the official marriage between the two. This time, however, things don’t go as they did in the original story: Broly comes into the ring and sweeps Chichi away, then rages at Goku. However, a Saiyan spaceship arrives on site: it is Vegeta, who also transforms into a Super Saiyan after witnessing Broly’s transformation.
The two face each other while Goku is still on the ground, but even the hero eventually turns into a deadly creature fighting with the enemy that came from the sky. This by Naseer Pasha is certainly a very imaginative take on Dragon Ball with unique powers and transformations never seen before, but the video has now surpassed 3.5 million views on Youtube. At the end of the video, the animator reveals that everything was done without a budget and that’s what he got required four years of work for its realization.
Speaking of fanmade, remember Dragon Ball New Horizons?
