This blue dragons smile makes mad. Who is he!? (or she)

Post by Daizensushi-x » Thu Feb 15, 2007 9:24 pm

Ok, I can't find a picture of this dragon (could someone post it), but there is one in the logo usually. You don't see it much on boxes of things like American products for DBZ, but he is there.

I hope I don't sound like a crazy person, but who is this dragon? sigh. :wink:

Bingo. Anyone have a backstory for it?

I think that's supposed to be Shenron.

It could be just an alternate color to Shenron/Shenlong. It gives a different side to him other than the common green you see in most dragons. *shrugs*

At any point during the manga did Toriyama actually color Shenlong in a chapter? If not and he was only green in the anime, blue might be his true canonical color!

Too lazy to look but isn't that little dragon portrait in the DBZ opening too?

He was green on the cover of the first volume.

But he was blue on the cover of chapter 1...

Shen Long seems to appear as being blue just as much as he is green in the manga releases. Then again, Bulma's hair is blue in chapter 1 and purple in every other chapter, so it's not like there was tons of consistency color-wise anyways.

Check out the title page to chapter 519 (final chapter), the DragonBall Landmark title page, and a good handful of other notable artwork for blue Shen Long. There's also at least one pink Shen Long (WJ #13, 1985) and a gold Shen Long (DragonBall Forever cover art).

Wow, he can change his color.
Perhaps…OMG! Shen Long's mother was a chameleon. :shock:
