I was very happy to see the drawings in those parts. I watched Z and some episodes had very good drawings and I missed those a lot, I even thought we would never have them back as the redrawings of certain scenes by official media were worse than the originals and had taken a different style.
I remember when those episodes aired I even took screenshots and posted them on social media as I was happy for the drawing lol

Yeah. I took a lot of screenshots as well. There are some gorgeous still frames in the parts of the episodes that he animated.
Interesting story about this. The lead animation supervisor of Super is the same guy who was known for this kind of artstyle in the later parts of Z.
But for Super, his style changed dramatically, and every other animator working under him sort of conformed to this softer look of the character models. Even Yuya Takahashi did. Until later on in Super, when he started posting sketches on twitter where he was testing out various older artstyles from DB and DBZ.
The one he ended up sticking to was his boss' old style from Z:
And after he used this style in some of the more expensive episodes in the series (Parts of Goku vs Jiren in 110, Goku vs Caulifla & Kale, etc) people loved it, and so Toei made the right choice in bringing him back for the series finale.
But it's a bit ironic that he got so popular for using his boss' old style. I wonder how he feels about that.

I didn't know all that! looking now at some scenes and drawings from DBZ I see that the ones I like were Masunaga (Like the bigger iris, those shaders in the faces and highly detailed) and Shimanuki (specially from the end of dragon ball and until Frieza arc)
I asume Takahashi tried to imitate the first one and I'm really glad he did, the other two seem like they forgot how to draw or simply got lazy lol
(I also noticed the new movie seems to be using a style which favors movement over detail and I'm also looking up to what they will do with that. I expect to see good sakuga animation which I haven't seen much in DB)
