This was already asked and got what I thought was a pretty good answer.

It's very challenging to be certain based on two still images. I wouldn't personally try to trope something ambiguous based on two images. If you've seen the entire scene in video form, you are better equipped to make the judgement call than we are.

That being said, Camera Abuse is supposed to be for something actually impacting the camera lens or otherwise damaging the camera (like maybe a Razor Wind). In animation, since there are no real cameras, it's usually an in-universe camera being damaged or quite obvious that's what they were going for (most often Played for Laughs). If you are having such a huge amount of uncertainty as to whether a camera got abused in an animated show, it's probably not Camera Abuse.

Or we can put it this way: just a glass-cracking visual effect, absent any other evidence to suggest it was a camera lens (on the imaginary camera) cracking is not camera abuse.

Hello, thank you for responding, if you want I'll leave you a You Tube link of the combat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzAwYwRlBxE, although I think that as I said, it can be seen that the crystal effect is behind the sphere, perhaps it shows which is not camera abuse
