Piccolo fingers
Is it true that Piccolo only has 3 fingers and a thumb in the Manga?, I heard this from somebody, but never checked the manga.

That must had been annoying to have to add a finger to all the key cells of the Anime

Actually, the most likely reason they gave him five fingers in the anime was to make it easier on themselves. It's easier just to have everyone with 5 fingers (a normal hand) than to have to keep track of odd alien finger schemes.TheMajinRedComet wrote:That must had been annoying to have to add a finger to all the key cells of the Anime

<Xyex> Good point.

It's actually Toriyama who points it out -- I think he did it just so Piccolo could illustrate the "5 seconds" thing with his hand.Super Sonic wrote:It was in vol. 13. And the Viz manga points it out too.ChaotixXero wrote:Yes, Namekians have a total of 4 fingers. But in one panel in vol 12 or 13. Piccolo has 5 fingers saying "I'll kill you in only 5 seconds."
I should also mention that I'm having serious déjà-vu reading this thread. Some point in the past, I made the same observation you made, and Rachel made the correction that I'm giving you now. Weird.

What does that have anything to do with the topic at hand? Not to mention the fact that Xyex explained the very reason why they did it in a couple of posts just above you. Sorry about this guys, but I'm so sick of fans bashing and complaining about every little nitpicky, miniscule thing out there.Duo wrote:The fact that Toei didn't remain consistent with the fingers is just another point at which they were lazy and why the anime is so sub par.
In the end, does it really matter all THAT much whether or not Piccolo had four or five fingers in the anime? Seriously, like some people have said, one way or the other, they hadn't even noticed.

Would that be vol. 13 of DB or DBZ?

Not sure about Cell but I'm pretty sure they gave Super Buu and Kid Buu fingers in the anime and he didn't have them in the manga. It's possible the same happened with Cell though. He's part Namek so it's possible he had 3 fingers in the manga.TripleRach wrote:That would be 13 of DB, or the Japanese 13.
On a side note, isn't there a similar situation with Cell, where he has three fingers in the manga, and five in the anime? Or am I misremembering something?

YEAH! My thoughts exactlyDuo wrote:The fact that Toei didn't remain consistent with the fingers is just another point at which they were lazy and why the anime is so sub par.
The anime sucked because Piccolo had 5 fingers instead of 4! Heresy I tell you! Damn lazy animators. I could have done it all myself blindfolded and with just my toes.
