During Episode #173, when Goku teleports Gohan and Kuririn to meet Dende when he's just been appointed as God, Gohan is wearing some casual outfit, but when he appears at God's Palace, he's wearing the Piccolo outfit.

Why couldn't he have changed clothes before Goku teleported him there?

[Perfect]

That's in the manga too I believe, so I think he changed clothes before he left.

[DBZ Mick]

Yeah, it might not be an error, it just seemed wierd that he would change clothes.

Vegeta's eyebrows are Black instead of Yellow(this image is from the season sets)

I can excuse any and all mistakes in Japanese animation because Japanese animators literally work like slaves. It's really disgusting and almost barbaric how they're made to work and they barely get paid anything. It's no wonder there is so many mistakes in DBZ, the poor people who had to animate this show were given insane schedules and deadlines with almost no money to show for it.

[Zestanor]

Here's one that most people know about.



This is more of an inconsistency than an error...
Apparently Goku was originally going to become a Super Saiyan to fight off dead Cell and Freeza, and they animated it that way. But then they had to paint over his hair with black because Paikuhan wasn't supposed to know about Super Saiyans yet.

[samuraix123]

Nice! I didn't know nor do I remember that scene! Great Job! It's been a while sense I went through and re-watched the whole series

I agree with you here, it's pretty sad what some of the labor conditions behind our favorite animes are.

[Piccolo Daimao]

Paikuhan wasn't supposed to know about Super Saiyans yet.

This is just a theory, by the way. Another theory why this is happened is that they thought it would be overkill for Goku to use Super Saiyan against the Ginyu Force, enemies that he easily defeated in a much weaker base form years prior.

Vegeta's eyebrows are Black instead of Yellow
Episode 132

That nose makes him looks like Bert!

One I discovered while watching the last Dragon Box. Kaio-shin's face is the same colour as Kibit's:

[Rukura]

In whichever episode Kame Sennin blows up Gyumao's castle, they forgot to draw Bulma's pantyhose. Not even just once lol.

They also seem to have a hard time making up their minds if the Kame logo is black with white background or black with yellow background.

Loving the ones so far

[Pokewhiz7]

In whichever episode Kame Sennin blows up Gyumao's castle, they forgot to draw Bulma's pantyhose. Not even just once lol.

Found it:

[Rukura]

Also when the castle was being (or was just) destroyed by the KamehameHa. I didn't even remember it in that scene

Thanks!

[samuraix123]

Bulma looks hot

[samuraix123]

Vegeta's Gloves disappear then they return(these shots are taken from the Dragon-Box)
