Not a big fan of the Yellow Kamehameha and Gyarikku Ho. Well more so the Gyarikku Ho.

It definitely takes the attack's personality away. :problem:

Or maybe that was your point...
No, I can see the difference in quality, and that's on account of less time being put into it.

Haven't read my volumes 2 and 3 of the Saiyan arc because I'm waiting for my volume 1 first :oops: and then on to Freeza.

This isn't that relevant to Dragon Ball but how do you all feel about digital manga? I don't really like the idea of it but I guess it will become the norm... It seems impractical because it doesn't feel like a book at all and you're required to have a screen in front of you at all times when you want to read something :problem: On the positive side, the pictures that are reeeeeeally close to the spine can be fully viewed. And pages don't get old.

Don't know, I don't really trust this kind of digital products if you can't even keep some kind of file and have to rely on some outside server to not get hacked and lose all your purchases. I understand being able to exploit some downloadable file wouldn't stop piracy and I'm all for it but fansites like this one that has manga scans would most likely end :(

I like the yellow Kamehameha wave, always have, but I think the yellow Galick Gun really doesn't fit.

Could it be because Vegeta said they were very similar?

Hadn't thought of that. It could be, yeah.

If it isn't blue, it's not a Kamehameha.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

This is already well-underway in both Japan and the US, and Vegeta does not have brown hair.

Some video games , and early works of the anime depicted Vegeta with brown hair. In some posters they even show his hair to have a slight tint of dark brown.

I understand that... but you asked about the "Full Color Comics", which is what I just answered you about.

That's just an error on the anime's part that shouldn't ever bleed into the colored manga. As Vegeta told us when Trunks arrived, all Saiya-jins have black hair (except Trunks).

Is there no chance of a physical release of the pre-Saiyan arcs? I will never feel like a have a complete collection if my manga starts 1/3 of the way through the story. I wish so badly that "Z" had stopped being a thing...

I'm with you. Even if the golden Ki has a cool look, there isn't any good reason to go against the iconography of the series. This isn't like Piccolo's yellow arms, where the Manga always represented differently from the Anime in color artwork.

Except the manga HAS coloured the Kamehameha yellow before. Even red, I think.

Never seen the golden Kamehameha in the Manga color portions before. We've seen the red one in the gray-red scale pages, but that doesn't really count.

Really? I could have sworn the manga used the yellow Kamehameha before.

I thought there had to be a colored version of the Kamehameha in a chapter somewhere before up until yesterday when I couldn't find one. If you do, I will stand corrected.

I've been looking, and I found a white one, but no yellow. Guess I was mistaken.
