Scouter Colors

[simtek34]

I have been wondering. In the manga and Full color Manga, all the scouters are green. Then how come they have color variations in the anime like red, blue, purple etc... Help! I'm confused.

There's no special motive at play. The manga chose to depict most of the scouters as being produced similarly. The anime adaption personalized them somewhat, because why not? Think about how phones tend to be black, but you'll occasionally see a white one produced, discounting customization.

The Full Color manga not only has the scouters all in the same color, it also has all the ki blasts in the same color.
I think Toriyama's color illustrations from that time did in fact have some variation, but I'm not sure. Check up on Daizenshuu 1, if you have it.

Wtf...Who thought blue scouters looked good on these two?

There actually was some variation in the colouration of the scouters in the original manga.

Uhh... the translucent and blue scouters are because Toriyama made these pages with a limited color pallet. Hence why in the full color manga and the FULL color pages are all green.
