Thinking about the way Wayne Truman drew sound effects for manga that didn't match the style of the originals but still burst with energy. The full color version of Dragon Ball has the original sound effects so it's used for comparison here.

Very cool to see!

One of Toriyama's greatest strengths as an artist was his use of contrast in black and white images to make panels that are clear. Truman's sound effects don't retain the exact types of lines, curves, or angles, but they have great contrast.
