Once. When King Piccolo says something like "You have four days" or something to that nature, it shows him with a five fingered hand holding up four of his fingers up. There's also a little note from Toriyama saying "Look! He grew up finger!" with the Toribot doing that embarrassed back-of-head-rub that we see EVERYWHERE in anime and manga.

He says that he'll finish Gokuu off in five seconds, holding up five fingers.

Here it is.
To clarify, it quite clearly says five, not four. So not an error considering that he intended to create it like that.

Nice catches. Errors found in manga are a lot more valuable, aren't they?;)

They make you wonder if the Anime version just blindly followed along with what was drawn without thinking about it.

Piccolo also teleported. In panel 1, he's to the right of Trunks, and in panel 4 he's to Trunks' left.

There's obviously some thought that goes into it, but apparently not enough to prevent them from making entirely new mistakes.

I don't have a scan, but I recall there being a page or two, while Goku's fighting Reacoom, that Kuririn has Goku's 悟 "Go" kanji on his back, instead of 亀 "Kame." See if you can spot it, Son_Gohan!

I always guessed that this was from Toriyama drawing SSj3 Gotenks more and just forgot that Goku as SSj3 had a different hairstyle. Luckily Toei realized this error.

Part of Cell's tail is colored brown, when it should be green:

Krilin's boot has blue vertical line and blue string (see correct one on the right):
Image

Trunks' shoulder and neck are colored like his hair and like his armor, instead of blue:

I never noticed any of those in the post above. I read this part over and over too!

Movie 9 Trailer

You can kinda tell by the shapes of the silhouettes that they have no actual relevance to the villains they encounter in the movie.

Movie 10 Trailer

Gohan's eyes are drawn closed off. It's almost as if he was originally drawn as a Super Saiyan but colored in his base form.

Now that some manga errors are being posted, as well, I'm interested. Are there more? (ART related errors, I mean.)

Its Toriyama, there are a lot of errors in the manga. lol If you really want to pick it apart, you can generally find something wrong on each page...or at least every chapter if he is having a good week. xD Its most evident starting in the Saiyan Arc though, the errors seem to become more prevalent, almost as if you can tell he's drawing it but doesn't care to double check the work.

Really? Every page? Well, I know that is an exaggeration. Akira Toriyama is above all things a character artist, though. So, I was kind of surprised to see things like the wrong symbols on the uniforms, and the like. Had never noticed anything like this before. I guess it's far more obvious for one who can actually read those symbols, it'd look like a pretty glaring error, compared to us looking at it.
