Re: Dragonball Errors
To clarify, it quite clearly says five, not four. So not an error considering that he intended to create it like that.peter291 wrote:Once.

Re: Dragonball Errors
Nice catches. Errors found in manga are a lot more valuable, aren't they?;)
Re: Dragonball Errors
They make you wonder if the Anime version just blindly followed along with what was drawn without thinking about it.peter291 wrote:Nice catches. Errors found in manga are a lot more valuable, aren't they?;)

Piccolo also teleported. In panel 1, he's to the right of Trunks, and in panel 4 he's to Trunks' left.Son_Gohan wrote:Vegeta with his SSj hair for a brief panel:

Re: Dragonball Errors
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!

Re: Dragonball Errors
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.Son_Gohan wrote:There's obviously some thought that goes into it, but apparently not enough to prevent them from making entirely new mistakes.Phred wrote: They make you wonder if the Anime version just blindly followed along with what was drawn without thinking about it.

Re: Dragonball Errors
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):

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

Re: Dragonball Errors
I never noticed any of those in the post above. I read this part over and over too!
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

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.

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

Re: Dragonball Errors
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.FindKenshi wrote:Now that some manga errors are being posted, as well, I'm interested.

Re: Dragonball Errors
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.
