Trunks hair color?!!!

[nicolas_3d]

Hi, i'm pretty sure this topic has already been debated before, but I can't find the post.
Why is Futur Trunks hair blue in the Dragon Ball Super? I went back to see old Dragon Ball Z screens and he has purple hair, and kid Trunks in Super also has purple hair...

Let me put this in spoiler-free way

Blueper Saiyajin = Goku & Veggie in FnF

Need any more reason behind Trunk's blue hair?

Opps. Was that spoiler?

Plus Black Goku thingy giving scornful look at Trunks. A simple poster is more than enuf to spoil plot-line of an entire Arc

It's just Toriyama being forgetful again.

Personally I'll just let it slide as its far from the worst thing that's ever happened to the series.

[Deathbringer]

Toriyama has always drawn Trunks with the same purple hair colour as Bulma so maybe he specifically intended that this design be for the anime (although surely he must know that Trunks' hair is purple in the anime?), he did the same for Battle of Gods but Toei changed it for the actual film but now Toei seem to not be questioning it and just putting it in as is...

I've seen some people come up with the explanation that since this Trunks should be in his 20s/30s that his hair changes colour as he gets older, I wonder if they'll bring this up at all if they show him meeting chibi trunks

If Trunks had SSJB it'd be looking like SSJ instead of his base. It's just a simple redesign and it helps him stand apart from kid Trunks. I think the Blue suits him better to be honest. At least it looks just like Trunks!

Other than purple which does not look like Trunks but the guy from vol. 28? I do not know what you mean with that.

What makes you think he is in Base?

SSJ became obsolete once SSJ Goddo/Goat came into picture with BOG

SSJ Goddo/Goat became an after-thought once Blueper Saiyajin was introduced in FnF

Look at where SSJ stands. Plus given TOEI's track record (highly consistent in being inconsistent) I'm darn sure TOEI simply forgot Trunks hair color. But the scenario unintentionally "spoiled" Trunks ability to go Blueper Saiyajin & Evil Goku in background, which somehow managed to raise the curiosity among loyal long-time fans

I do think blue looks much....cooler. It makes him stand out more.

But whats da use? End of da day, he's still gonna be sidelined just so Goku becomes central show piece for remaining 90% of the Arc

[Nejishiki]

I find it unlikely they forgot seeing as younger Trunks still has his lavender hair. It's intentional for whatever reason.

[successoroffate]

I'm hoping it's a controlled Bluper form and not just a color fix.

[HourglassIndigo]

I'm color blind, so it makes no real difference to me.

[Big Black Sayian]

Toriyama forgot or he doesn't care. XD

[Lord Beerus]

Toriyama just most likely forgot about Trunks original colour, just like he does with the few smaller details in regards to certain characters.

But don't you think someone would tell him or at least ask him? I don't think making that kind of remark or observation would get someone fired...

I think at this stage, stuff like the colour of some of the characters hair is not really something to work up a sweat about. I think the main focus will be if Toriyama can deliver a genuinely good story with Future Trunks returning and basically Evil Goku. If that happens, then stuff like Future Trunks suddenly having blue hair will just seem like a minor nitpick.

[Cipher]

The same color as Bulma's.

[Khin]

Even if Toriyama really forgot about it. TOEI could just simply fix his hair like in BoG, but they didn't. So there must be a reason why.

He looks too cool to change it?
Maybe they thought that the color scheme fits, so why change it back to the lavender

I guess its the red scarf that does the trick

[kei17]

Am I the only one who doesn't really care color scheme consistency? As seen in many color pages and covers in the original manga, Toriyama has a tendency to freely change color schemes according to the balance in each panel/page, which I think is part of the charm of his art. I like the bluish hair in DBZ movie 9 for the same reason, but I've never heard of any complaints about it.

I do care about the colors that are clearly stated in-universe, though.

[JulieYBM]

I honestly don't care, either. Coloring is merely a tool to express an idea, so if the use of blue hair here is to express an idea I see no problem.

[precita]

I guess this means Trunks won't be going Super Saiyan Blue...because he already has blue hair.
