Even then recycled stock footage was still used in ways that felt different and creative, and for nearly every major battle in DP there was good animation and sakuga involved as early as Roark and Gardenia. Some random training battle is not going to have S tier animation and it doesn’t need to. Clearly in JN, excellent animation is not a major factor when it comes to battles considering nearly every one in the series looks mediocre. So if it’s going to be like that for everyone then this is a poor excuse.Something that needs to be said is one of the reasons we clearly see less battles is because the animation for the show got better. It's why we see less battles now compared to back then. It was easier to show many battles back then becomes most of it was recycled stock footage.
