Manga/Animé Color Differences

[Acid_Reign]

Anyone got any links or observations about this?

Specifically I’m wondering if Vegeta ever appeared in a black suit in full-color material.

But I will also post some... I like how Super Saiyan have bluish aura in the manga, the golden aura from the anime is sickening

Something I figured I'd mention is that Dragon Ball Online and Super Dragon Ball Z reatain the manga color schemes for pretty much everything. Interestingly enough, Super Saiyan auras are blue in Super DBZ if I remember correctly, where as they're golden in DBO. I think there's a bit of inconsistancy with this, because sometimes the auras are shown blue, and at other times they're golden. A good case in point is the back of VIZ's release of volume 35. (19 of DBZ) Goku and Gohan are shown together in a promotional image, and Gohan has a golden aura where as Goku's is blue. A few other things have similar inconsistancies. For instance, in the manga, Dodoria's shown to be reddish, where as on the back of one of the Kanzenban, he's more yellow.

There have been a good number of threads on this in the past, but with the new forum organization, it'll be harder to find, and I'm a little too lazy to dig them up. ^^;

The confusion of the Super Saiyan aura is by little fault of the manga. Toriyama gave a yellow color for Goku's Kamehameha.

Note that in the panel below, when Freeza holds the Kamehameha, it actually has a grey-blue color.



However, that is nothing else than a random background color. The color yellow might not be a coinscidence, however still it's just the background color.

See for example in this image, how the background change each page.



Besides that, Toriyama always drew auras as pure white.



The problem is that there are only few fully colored pages for the animators realize what Toriyama had in mind.

where as they're golden in DBO.

Dragon Ball Online doesn't completely follow the manga color scheme, they still are friendly with some visual aspects established by the anime

Goku and Gohan are shown together in a promotional image, and Gohan has a golden aura where as Goku's is blue.

Actually it is very different from giving the Super Saiyan an yellow aura.



The page gave each character a different aura color. Goku aura is actually green, while Gohan is yellow, however it is very different from the Super Saiyan hair color

That picture is somewhat compareble to this

I've yet to pick out anything myself that's a clear contradiction of the color schemes in the manga. The Super Saiyan aura is a little iffy, considering it's drawn in at least that one promotional image. I just haven't been looking for others.

You're starting to confuse me now. I don't think it's any different from coloring the aura yellow, because, well, the aura is colored yellow there. There's not much more to that. Could you be a little more clear?

The only one I know of is the colour of Gohan's gi when they fight Vegeta. Green in the manga but purple in-game. Yajirobe's might be off as well but I haven't seen him.

While the DBO people may have chosen to use purple over green for Gohan's during the Saiyan fight, it doesn't necessarily mean they ignored the manga's colors. Gohan is shown with a green dogi in the colored manga chapters, but there are images in Daizenshuu 1 where Toriyama colored his his little headbanded dogi purple like it is in the game and anime. As for Yajirobe, his clothes might be blue in that image, but in his Dragon Ball colored chapters as well as the Jinzoningen arc and original spine art, he's colored like in the anime.

I do believe Toriyama said something about having a set color scheme in mind when designing a character, but he doesn't necessarily look back at his old drawings, so sometimes newer ones may have a character in a different color scheme if he thinks it looks good. So I guess any Toriyama colored version of a character could potentially be an official manga color scheme.

I've seen Gohan's gi purple in some promotional artwork for the manga, like the sort of things VIZ puts on the back of their tankoubon release, and Yajirobe's outfit's usually more orange. It's not so much that it's not going by the manga color schemes, it's just not using some of the colorations that Toriyama has used before. In both of the cases, though, we can say that yes, it was colored differently at some point in time.

I have to agree with you on this one. Especially when you look at that earlier page of SSJ Goku with the limited color scheme. The poster mentions that the aura is white. Since its a limited color panel though it is impossible to tell if it is supposed to be white or golden. Notice that Goku's hair is also white in that image. In that image, the hair and the aura are the exact same color.

Piccolo's eyes are red in the cover of the 16th Tankobon.

In Manga,during 23th Tenkaichi Budokai,Bulma dress is red,while in Anime,its purple

I posted the image as just an example. But it's always white, even in full color pages.
