Dragon Ball Manga errors thread

Post by eledoremassis02 » Fri Jul 04, 2014 1:42 pm

Since there is one for the Anime. Why not one for the Manga :D

Errors can be anything from continuity, art, translation (any release, and language)

This is the first thing I noticed (was this fixed in the full color?) *Vegeta's armor*

Yes, it was.

In Dragon Ball Minus, the Galactic King tells Jaco that Kakarrot's pod was launched from Planet Freeza, Viz corrected this to Planet Vegeta for their translation.

Ah, so Full Color Nappa has the same Raditz colors as his miscolored anime appearance?

Was this something that was fixed in later editions? I got my tankobon over a month after it came out and there's no error, it correctly states that it came from Planet Vegeta.

I'm a huge Yamcha fan so I noticed this one error during the Piccolo Daimaoh arc.

Toriyama drew his cast on the wrong leg.
Tenshinhan broke Yamcha's LEFT leg and in later Piccolo Daimaoh arc chapters it was his RIGHT leg that had the cast on.

I've got the Super Elite edition which I'd pre-ordered.

Here's a scan of the panel with "惑星フリーザ" (Planet Freeza):

And Viz's English version with "Planet Vegeta":

Piccolo's hand has five fingers in one panel. He even comments about it: it was a really big slip by Toriyama :lol:

It's funny because I never noticed Namekians had less fingers until he pointed out that error lol

Well, it's normal because the anime portrays everyone with five fingers. However, the manga doesn't.

For some reason I think that was deliberate.

This isn't an error, it's an intentional gag. There is a note from Toriyama in the saying something like "oops, he has five fingers here!" or something like that.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I don't think it was intentional when he drew it, he just spotted it afterwards.

It would definitely fit Toriyama's style of gag humor to have Piccolo Daimao illustrate "I'll kill you in 5 minutes" by holding up 5 fingers when Namekians only have 4, but the Japanese in Toriyama's note implies that it was accidental.

Here's a thread with details about it. And here's SaiyaJedi's take on it on Reddit.
