Missing a Dragon Ball on particular manga spine art

Post by Bagginses » Wed Jul 20, 2016 6:06 pm

I was searching for a few national (Brazilian) editions of the entire manga series, and came across the entire collection in one picture. Ok, so I noticed a missing Dragon Ball in the spine art. I thought, it must be an error of the national edition. The Japanese one must be correct. But... guess not:

Look closely. There are only 6 DBs in the spine art.

I know it's something minor but heck, even FUNimation DBoxes have all the DBs in their spine art. :lol:

What do you think? Was that intentional or they just made a ''blunder'' here?

If you look closely, you'll notice that it's Four-Star Ball that's missing. However, it's not actually missing. Toriyama was sneaky and put it on Gohan's hat. :D

Edit: Ah darn, looks like I was beat to the punch.

Whoa are Yamucha and Tenshinhan not on there ? What an odd omission.

Hahaha, thanks. Definitely would not notice that without help. :D

So it was Toriyama who drew that particular spine art? If so, that's cool!
