Did Toriyama color some panels of his manga?

Post by Kokonoe » Tue Dec 25, 2018 10:57 am

I just finished reading Chapter 387 and noticed the shading was different, then I proceeded to find some information regarding this chapter via this very website.

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/manga/chp-387/
The majority of the Dragon Ball series was drawn in black and white, but chapters were occasionally published with color pages. This breakdown notes how many full-color, limited-color, and black-and-white pages appeared in this chapter. As the tankōbon volumes were not released with these colors intact, any color pages shown are taken from the kanzenban release.
So when this occurs, is it Toriyama doing the coloring? Or someone else?

It's Toriyama.
He did have an assistant though and even his wife helped him from time time.

This is actually how we know that SSJ hair is supposed to be yellow, IIRC.
