What about Piccolo and Vegeta? Piccolo was finished by Goku's head and Vegeta was finished by Gohan's ass.

Though he is gray in the limited palette color pages, but by definition Toriyama didn't have access to the full range of colors for those and so had to make substitutions (Piccolo and Cell also turn gray for them).

Question for Herms. I saw this thing in other comic books. Why they are using this limited pallete? And why only about some 4 colours......

You know what I also noticed about it? It was a common method back then. Kinnikuman, Dr. Slump, Slam Dunk, Rurouni Kenshin... I noticed they had limited color pages, but the newer comics from early-mid 2000s and today do not use this method anymore. They only use them in advertising pages in the magazine.

Piccolo died from a one-handed attack from Nappa, while Vegeta died from a one-handed attack from Freeza. :P

I believe it was a cost-saving measure, with it being more expensive to use full color.

I just noticed that while in the anime Mr.Boo pins down Kid Boo so that Mr.Satan can get Vegeta out of there, In the manga Mr.Satan gets Vegeta out there all by himself. I suddenly gained a lot more respect for him.

Wait. So in the manga, Mr. Boo never gets up at all? What is kid Boo distracted by then if anything?

In the manga, Kid Buu doesn't actually understand that Goku is hesitating in lauching the Genki Dama with Vegeta in the way. He just sees the Genki Dama, goes furious and starts attacking Goku with Ki blasts (which Goku avoids with teleportation).

While Kid Buu is doing this, Mr. Satan rescues Vegeta.

On a miserable rainy day a few weeks ago, I sat down and re-watched DBZ movie 2, and despite having watched it several times previously; I never noticed that Dr. Cochin's staff/weapon was a model of Shenlong.

I don't know if it's because the previous 4:3 singles were incredibly dark, or that I'm just blind, because I didn't realise it until I watched the blu-ray double feature.
