Part 2 (N-Z)

Part 1 (A-M) is on page 1 of this thread.



NAIL:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Original Manga version. Similarly to Piccolo, no pink for Nail!

NAPPA:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) The World version. The armor now has blue pecs, and a more brownish tint instead of yellow. Strikingly, the scouter is orange. Really, with all the various colors through various media, scouters are like lightsabers, there has to be a color you like!

NYOÏ BO:

ImageImageImage
ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Chapter 1 version. This is quite exceptionnal, but if Toriyama is known for changing color schemes between chapters or when going from full pallette to limited pallette, this change happens right in the middle of the full color section of the very first chapter. The three first panels showing the Nyoï Bo reveal that it's white with a red scabbard and a white rope. Turning the page, and still in the full color section, the Nyoï Bo turns into it's Daizenshuu 5 version.
3) Daizenshuu 2 version. The scabbard is blue for this Toriyama artwork.
4) Daizenshuu 5 version. Orange scabbard this time, still in a Toriyama artwork.
5) Kanzenban version N°1. The first cover of the Kanzenban edition clearly shows this brown color, for a scabbard clearly made of wood! It is also used in Dragon Ball Online, but with Goku's original blue outfit (as opposed to the first Kanzenban cover). This version is used in the game Dragon Ball Online.

OOLONG:

ImageImage
1) Anime / Original Manga / Full-Color Manga version.
2) Daizenshuu 76 version. From an illustration by Toriyama which was used as a poster. The original drawing has gone missing and Shueisha will never be able to use it again, unless they retrieve it from the Daizenshuu itself. Oolong simply sports blue instead of green.

PICCOLO:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Original Manga / Full-Color Manga / Kanzenban version. It's quite known, pink has nothing to do with Piccolo according to Toriyama!

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
1)Anime version.
2) Original Manga / Full-Color Manga / Kanzenban version.
No pink, but a red belt instead of blue.
3) Chapter 178 & 205 version.
For those specific chapters, Piccolo wears an outfit reminiscent of the color pages for his father, with a black costume complete with a desaturated purple belt.
4) Chapter 187 version.
A version quite close to that of the anime except for minor tint variations and the usual "no-pink muscles" in all manga versions.
5) Super Butoden 2 version.
For this alternative costume, he goes through the same changes as Gohan in the same Super NES game: the belt becomes blue like in the anime, and the outfit is so dark and desaturated that it could almost seem black.
6) Hyper Dimension version.
For the alternative outfit in this Super NES game, the manga appearance is retained, but the clothes go black.
7) Zenkai Battle Royale version.
White clothes with a purple belt for one of this game's alternative costume.

PILAF:

ImageImageImage

1) Anime version.
2) New Tankobon spineart version.
Shows Pilaf with a purple skin, like a mini-Ginyu! He doesn't appear fully, so we don't know how his overall clothes would be affected, and the original were kept for this picture.
3) Battle of Gods design version.
Toriyama originally drew Pilaf with a green skin for the most ambitious Dragon Ball movie at the time. That little guy tried various colors for his skin, he must have some chameleon DNA. Anyway, the hat is still here with alternative colors, but the clothes are different, so it's impossible to define how they would be affected and they were kept the same here.

PUERH:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) The World version. White skin, black fur. It could almost seem like an uncolored Puerh if the entire illustration wasn't fully colored in every single detail, showing that it's really how Puerh was likely intended for that artwork, he's litterally black and white!

PTEROSAUR:

ImageImage
1) Anime / Original Manga / Full-Color Manga version.
2) Daizenshuu version. This version is revealed on the cover from the first Daizenshu.

RADITZ:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Kanzenban version. His armor is now an almost greenish tint of yellow, not brown. The scouter is dark green, with the support part being all dark gray.

REACUM:

ImageImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Dragon Ball Z (Arcade) version. You're not dreaming, and you probably never thought of it: Reacum has green hair for the alternate version of this video game. Note that the in-game version does not wear the armor, and it is unknown how it would be affected. The suit itself has a slight blue tint, ultimately making it a different grey than his original sprite, but it's much more subtle than his hair change as you can see on the pictures above. The scouter does not appear in-game.
3) Buyu Retsuden version. An alternative appearance for this game, still going with the recolored hair concept. It's pink/purple this time, with a yellowish green - or greenish yellow - armor. And you may not see it with this small picture, but his eyes are blue in this game! The scouter does not appear in-game.
4) Ultimate Battle 22 version. No change in his outfit for this video game's alternative look, recolored indigo hair seemed more than enough to the staff. Note how his suit is pitch black in this game (for the base appearance too), without the slightest reflection. The scouter does not appear in-game.

SAIBAIMAN:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Budokai 3 version. A red Saibaiman for the alternative skin of this game.

SHENRON:

ImageImageImageImage
1) Anime / Full-Color Manga version.
2) Daizenshuu 1 version. The most striking difference - similarly many Toriyama artworks about Shenron - is that he actually has irises and pupils (blue-grey irises and black pupils in this case). Shenron appears with a darkened, almost turquoise blue, which includes his jaw. Whiskers share his skin color, and so do the combs over his body.
3) Daizesnhuu 2 version. A lilac color, with a skin that's a little darker than usual. The combs are just slightly darker than the skin. His eyes are yellow, with red irises and black pupils.
4) Daizenshuu 3 version. A fiery dragon: vibrant orange color and bright yellow skin, along with brown combs. Note that his whiskers are yellow too. The red irises (with black pupils) are noticeably smaller in this one, which doesn't impact his friendly representation in the original artwork, but does make him look a lot more threatening in this render. If Shenron ever looks at you that way, I would advice you run for your life!

SON GOHAN:

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Full-Color Manga version.
Using a lot of the anime colors, but the manga staff apparently had another opinion on what looked best for his hat, totally changing the color scheme for it. The symbol is different too, written in black with a colored circles unlike the anime, but like all other manga versions. Note that the hat and symbol could both be specifically borrowed from the "Daizenshuu 108 & 110 version", the one Toriyama used twice during the origina run. Some will argue that it takes away variety by taking out the big red part of the suit, while others - like me - will enjoy the more coherent feel that it gives (keeping the hat in line with the clothes).
3) Daizenshuu 108 & 110 version (with Kanzenban touch).
From two artworks by Toriyama appearing on the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Features a ketchup-like orange-gone-almost-red top, with green for the under-clothes and hat. The tail has been adapted to the Kanzenban tone.
4) Daizenshuu 121 version.
Used in the title page for chapter 228. Blue for the top, indigo for the under-clothes and hat.
5) Daizenshuu 122 version.
From an artwork by Toriyama used as a poster. A pinkish purple tone for the under-clothes and hat while the top is blue.
6) Daizenshuu 130 version (with Kanzenban touch).
From an artwork by Toriyama used in a 1989 WJ calendar. Apple green for the top, indigo/blue for the under-clothes. The tail has been adapted to the Kanzenban tone.
7) Daizenshuu 207 version (with Kanzenban touch).
The latest representation of baby Gohan appears in the title page for chapter 404, when the young teenager prepares to fight Cell, showing his evolution so far. The tail has been adapted to the Kanzenban tone.

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
1) Anime / Kanzenban version.
Red belt and red wrists, likely to mimic Piccolo's belt and natural wrists.
2) Original Manga version.
For years, Toriyama had Gohan wearing blue wrists, possibly so that he would display some "Goku-like" part on his outfit.
3) Daizenshuu 112 & 114 version.
In two artworks made by Toriyama for WJ, Gohan has purple wrists, fitting his outfit's main color.
4) Daizenshuu 125 & Daizenshuu Volume 7 version.
A big change for Gohan, but originally used only once for the fully-colored pages in chapter 238, as well as the title page. It does reappear in the seventh Daizenshuu though. Here Gohan had the outfit from his master, but Piccolo apparently gave him another color as a distinctive sign. He also has Goku's blue for the wrists, distinguishing him from Piccolo even more.
5) Dragon Ball Z (Arcade) version.
This alternative costume is reminiscent of Goku's gi, but does keep its own marks like the white collar, white wrists and a red belt. The bandana does not appear in-game.
6) Burst Limit version.
The alternative oufit for this video game has Gohan wearing turquoise with dark orange wrists and belt.
7) Ultimate Tenkaichi version.
The base outfit for this video game is like the original manga version, but reversed: red wrists, but a blue belt. In the same game, the same outfit for Gohan when he's on Namek has both the wrirts and the belt red.

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImageImage
1+2) Anime version.
- WATCH THE SUPER SAIYAN 2 RENDER -
3+4) Original Manga version.
Toriyama still had Gohan wearing blue wrists like Goku. Gohan wears white socks, on the contrary of the anime.
5+6) Daizenshuu 199 version.
Just for the duration of a title page for chapter 411. This time, Piccolo made Gohan's outfit blue like his wrists.
7+8) Kanzenban version.
For all his Piccolo-based outfit, Toriyama used to draw him almost exclusively with a red belt, but blue wrists. Since the Kanzenban, it's all red, possibly to mimic Piccolo's natural red wrists. Gohan still has white socks though, unlike his anime equivalent.
9+10) Super Butoden 2 dialogue version and in-game version.
The alternative outfit for this Super NES video game has Gohan wearing purple that is so darkened and desaturated that it kinda looks like brown. Apart from that, the dialogue and in-game versions are actually different. For the in-game version, Gohan is a Super Saiyan 2, the belt and wrists are blue like in the anime (while the regular outfit for the same game shows a red belt and blue wrists like the regular manga version). The dialogue version shows Gohan has a simple Super Saiyan and is much more pecular: it reverses the manga scheme for the accessories (meaning a blue belt with red wrists), but more strikingly... this spooky clone of Gohan has red eyes! All versions in this game also have brighter, yellowish shoes.
11+12) DBZ 2 Super Battle version N°1.
This video game can turn Gohan's Cell Game clothes into Goku's gi through a simple color switch. He does wear a cape though, and the shoes are those of Piccolo. This version was also used in Super Dragon Ball Z.
13+14) DBZ 2 Super Battle version N°2.
An outfit that might have been initially conceived as black, but to the strong lighting on it, it actually ends up being darkish grey. The belt and wrists are also colored with a much darker and desaturated blue tint.
15+16) Burst Limit version.
The alternative outfit for this game shows a turquoise oufit with red-with-a-subtle-hint-of-purple wrists and belt.

ImageImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Daizenshuu 212 version.
By Toriyama, used once as a WJ cover. Gohan has kept a purple outfit, but he has an orange belt and orange wrists. Apparently, it served as a basis for Gohan's appearance in the Super NES video game Super Butoden 3.
3) Daizenshuu 217 version.
By Toriyama, used once as a WJ cover. Gohan still has the orange belt and orange wrists, but now wears blue clothes.
4) Daizenshuu 230 & 259 version.
Only this version of Gohan's training outfit shows up twice in Toriyama's illustrations (once for a WJ cover, and once for a poster), hinting at the fact that it might be Toriyama's actual vision of Gohan, but nothing is certain.

ImageImageImageImage
1+2) Anime / Original Manga version.
3+4) Budokai version.
The alternative outfit for this game shows a turquoise shade instead of pure green.

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImage
1+2) Anime version / Daizenshuu 228 version.
Based on one of Toriyama's artworks, albeit with colors that seem less flashy in Toriyama's version.
3+4) Daizenshuu 239 version.
Used for a WJ cover. The lines are yellow, the belt reddish orange, the top dark blue and the under-clothes faded cyan. Potalas are missing in this artwork and were left as they were on the anime version and previous artwork by Toriyama, meaning blue.
5+6) Kanzenban version.
Gohan's "Kaio Shin Kai" outfit has been fully revised for the Kanzenban, and appears again as such in the Super Exciting Guide which are in the Kanzenban continuity.

ImageImageImage
ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Original Manga version.
The outfit is exactly the same than for Goku, meaning orange and not red, as shown in artworks and color pages.
3) Hyper Dimension version N°1.
The base outfit for this Super NES video game shows a much more yellow-tainted orange for the "Goku gi" compared to Goku's clothes on the very same game which is "fruit orange". Also, the underclothes is black, similarly to Son Goten.
4) Hyper Dimension version N°2.
The alternative outfit for this Super NES video game shows the famous "Goku gi" in a rare, blue version.
5) Ultimate Tenkaichi version.
In the alternate outfit for this game, the orange is stretched towards a yellowish color. It is not rare to see the "Goku gi" depicted in such a yellowish way in some manga illustrations.

SON GOKU:

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
The manga version uses shades of blue that are different from this one.
2) Full-Color Manga version.
When definitive colors are set on chapter 3, Goku's color scheme is revealed as being orange, with quite dark red wrists and ankles, black shoes, and the Full-Color Manga Nyoi Bo (purple scabbard and red staff). It keeps in line with Toriyama's own choice back then. The tail is lighter than in the anime.
3) Full-Color Manga flashback version.
When Goku remembers his time with Grandpa Gohan during the Saiyan arc, the costume he had back when his grandfather was alive is revealed: a purple outfit (similarly to the "Daizenshuu 3 version") with purple wrists (again, similarly to other artworks) and a red belt (similarly to "Daizenshuu 44" version). The Nyoi Bo was kept as the Full-Color Manga version, and the tail is still brighter than the anime's version.
4) Daizenshuu 3 version.
Goku appears to be wearing purple instead of indigo/blue. The scabbard on his back his a darkened yellow. The difference is not so big in the end.
5) Daizenshuu 44 version.
From a Toriyama artwork used as a sticker. Goku keeps his red wrists, but now his belt is red too. His clothes show a faded, light blue (not too far from the one used by Toriyama in the full color pages of chapter 1).
6) Daizenshuu 77 version.
From a Toriyama drawing used for a daily school schedule (offered with the 1987 calendar as a bonus). Goku wears light blue clothes and orange wrists and ankles. He also has an orange cap, but it doesn't appear on this picture.
7) Kanzenban version N°1.
A whole new outfit for little Goku is revealed in the very first Kanzenban. Black on the bottom, greenish-yellow on the up, wrists are almost black with just a little hint of blue, and the tail has a light tone. Later, for the Super Exciting Guide, Toriyama goes back to a look that's closer to the original design.

ImageImageImage
ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Original Manga version.
The Kame Sen Gi is orange instead of red in the manga. The Kame Sen symbol has a white background.
3) Daizenshuu 10 version.
While still retaining his black belt, Goku's wrists are turned red in one Toriyama artwork.
4) Daizenshuu 21 version.
One artwork shows Goku sporting a blue belt and purple wrists.
5) Daizenshuu 23 & 29 version.
The belt and wrists are faded purple in at least two Toriyama artworks.

ImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Last part of Dragon Ball Anime version.
In the pre-Z original Dragon Ball series, as soon as Goku shows up all grown-up and gets his Kame Sen gi, his clothes change a bit: the under-shirt and the belt are both black. At the time, the Kame Sen symbol was also yellowish.
3) Original Manga / Full-Color Manga version.
Goku's most famous outfit is not red, but orange in the manga. Different tints of this orange, sometimes going to yellow, were used throughout the artworks. All in all, Goku is supposed to wear the monks' colors according to Toriyama in the Daizenshu interview.
4) DBZ 2 Super Battle version.
For this video game's alternative costume, the gi is immaculate white, with just a slight blue tint (only visible on shadows) that makes it look all the more bright white. The blue under-clothes are also much darker. I find this version pretty interesting, it gives an idea of a western-style Goku, where his outfit forgets about Shaolin influences and becomes more of a Karate costume. Note that the Kame Sen symbol does not appear in-game.
5) Supersonic Warriors version.
Pretty cool alternative version for this game, with the dark blue usually used for his undershirt and accessories as the main color this time, and white-turning-to-grey undershort and accessories.
6) Burst Limit version.
The alternative outfit for this video game shows a reversed color scheme for Goku, inverting the blue and orange, although not necessarily in the same shades.

ImageImageImage
ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Full-Color Manga version.
A Super Saiyan has blue - I think it's precisely cyan - eyes in this edition. The clothes keep all the characteristics from the Full-Color manga: the usual manga orange dogi, but shoes with white lines and red laces.
3) Limited palette version.
To match the limitted palette of some manga pages, Toriyama could have just used his regular color scheme, albeit without the missing colors (brownish yellow hair and grey eyes). Instead of that - and like many other times -, he chose to alter his color scheme to fit those limitations. His way to make the hair and eyes pop was to have the hair pure white - blending with the white aura -, and red eyes (note that the red is faded compared to the red eyes of Freezer and Polunga in the same chapter).
4) DBZ Movie 4 version.
The first concept for the Super Saiyan turned out to be different than the "final product". It appears in the fourth Z movie and can be retrospectively considered a palette swap of the usual Super Saiyan, retaining the same overall shape and aura. The difference is that the hair color doesn't change and the irises are missing. Goku appears to be constantly flying in this version. Because of the difference with the usual Super Saiyan, this form is considered as being the "false", "incomplete" or "unachieved" Super Saiyan, the famous in-universe explanation being that the transformation could not reach completion, Goku remaining in some sort of "in-between" state between is normal form and his Super Saiyan form (further emphasized by the anime version of Goku's first transformation, briefly showcasing this form as part of the process).
5) DBZ Movie 5 version.
This version was prepared for the fifth Z movie when the concept for the Super Saiyan appearance was being refined. It shows hair shadows being slightly more orangy - a minor difference - while the eyes go red instead of green. This version ultimately does not appear in the actual movie, since the Super Saiyan was then defined for good and used instead.

ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Super Butoden series version.
For all three Super Butoden games, Goku's alternative color is vivid red.
3) Shin Butoden version.
A really yellow dogi with very dark and desaturated underclothes for this video game's alternative look.

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Budokai 3 version.
The alternative appearance for this game shows a "dirty white" fur, yellow belt, blue pants and red wristles.

SON GOTEN:

ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Original Manga version. Goten doesn't sport blue like his father, he's more into black in the manga, and man, that fits him quite well!
3) Ultimate Butoden version. Purple gi, and a slightly blue tint for the underclothes (that's strikes the eye thanks to the comparison with his black hair, but it's still nowhere as blue as the anime version)!

TAO PAI PAI:

ImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Full-Color Manga version.
Another, similar pink tint for the costume, but the lines are white with black nooses. The sleeves are purple instead of blue. The symbol is also different, replacing the big red circle by a thick, black circle coupled with a narrow, inner white circle.
3) Daizenshuu 089 version.
For this artwork, there are white lines with green nooses, green sleeves, and a redish orange costume. The symbol on the chest is written in red with a green circle.
4) The World version.
The suit is a yellowish green with black sleeves.
5) Kanzenban version.
Tao Pai Pai has a mustard-like yellow outfit, with grey lines.
6) DB Movie 3 version.
An alternative, blue-oriented palette swap for this movie. The symbol on his chest has a black background instead of white too.

TEN SHIN HAN:

ImageImage
1) Anime / Original Manga version.
2) Ultimate Battle 22 version. For the alternative costume in this video game, you just have to invert Ten's regular color scheme: red goes green, green goes red.

ImageImage
1) Anime / Original Manga version.
2) Ultimate Butoden version. I like him more when green turns to blue and red turns to green for this video game's alternative costume.

TO THE CARROTRANSFORMER:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Full-Color Manga version. Changes on the sleeves, the inner ears, the symbols and the neck-circle thing.

TULLECE:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Raging Blast 2 version. The DLC costume for this game reveals that Tullece was inspired by Nappa's armor. He still prefers his red scouter though.

TRUNKS:

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImage
1+2) Anime version.
3+4) Kanzenban version N°1. Trunks appears as such on the Kanzenban (although he appears later on a back cover with an outfit closer to the one we've known, the fact that Goten doesn't wear under-clothes seems to indicate this later picture is an alternative take on them, the most important version being the front cover with everyone else). He sports the same color as his dad, which can seem black unless you look closer (zoom in on the cover and compare with Krilin's black T-shirt, and you'll spot the hint of blue that is there). His belt is still orange, but so dark that it could almost be confused with red (it's more red than Goten's orange outfit, but more orange than Trunks' newly red writsts). The hair are the same than his Alternative Future self, meaning dark indigo now.
5+6) Budokai Tenkaichi 3 version. "My son wears my rival's colors?! Vegeta's almighty rage!!" could have been the title of that game's alternative appearance. A clever pallette swap makes it look like Trunks is wearing the Sons' gi, or more generally the Kame Sen outfit. Due to the red tint, it is obviously the anime version of that costume. For all versions available in the game, the hair is a bit more purple compared to the anime version, but the difference is not that big as you can see.

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Final Bout version. An alternative costume for this video games shows a T-shirt that could almost be confused as being white if it weren't for turquoise shadows, dark shorts with a slight desaturated blue tint and an orange ribbon around the boy's neck. Note that the vest does not appear in-game, and it is unknown how it would have been changed for that alternative version.

TRUNKS (ALTERNATIVE FUTURE):

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Special chapter version (with Kanzenban touch).
This is how teen Trunks appears in the color pages; with a more indigo outfit, and with the hair adapted to the Kanzenban style.

ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
ImageImage
1+2) Anime version.
3+4) Kanzenban version N°1.
Lots of little changes for this Trunks: much darker indigo hair, blue vest (the anime has it more indigo wheareas Toriyama always saw it as clearly blue), the sword case is now a faded orangy-yellow, the buckles have become fully dark gray, the trousers have a barely-perceptible indigo tint, and the Capsule Corp logo has red (Toriyama used to have the "double C" itself being red and surrounded by white, but now it is the surrounding who is red and the "double C" is white). Another version appears later on the Super Exciting Guide (in the Kanzenban continuity), keeping all the changes but showing a very much lighter blue for the vest.
5) Super Butoden 2 dialogue version.
In this game, Trunks' clone appears as a separate version for the dialogue sceen, untransformed, with a grey jacket (not here for his in-game version), a belt that has a red inside with orangy red "overbelt", and silver - or smoke-colored to be specific, but it's less stylish - eyes. Other than that, the rest is pretty much the same than for the in-game clone: a very dark blue shirt (so dark it's easy to miss the blue), dark blue pants, faded green shoes with very dark blue parts. The sword is not there, here the chest belt was adapted to his "inner belt" as is the case with the original colors. This version does not have a Super Saiyan equivalent, since the in-game version is based on the "back to the future", jacket-less Trunks.
6+7) Buyu Retsuden version.
The alternative jean jacket for this game is dark green.
8+9) Zenkai Battle Royale version.
One of the alternative costumes for this game shows a flashy green jacket.

ImageImage
1) Anime / Original Manga version.
2) Diorama version.
A black suit, used in a diorama, with artwork by Toriyama used for promotion or as a basis.

ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Original Manga version.
A minor difference is that the suit has slightly more blue, but more importantly, Trunks' hair appear unusually orange in the Super Saiyan 3rd Grade form (chapter 386).
3) Limited palette version.
Another case of Toriyama adapting to the color limitations in chapter 386. The eyes and suit are unsurprisingly grey (because the blue and green colors are missing). However, he made the hair pop by coloring them with a faded red this time. Also, the usual yellow of the armor is dark brown.

ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Kanzenban would-be version N°1.
Simply applying the Kanzenban changes, but there's no jacket here.
3) Super Butoden 2 in-game version.
For the in-game appearance of Trunks' clone in this game, we have again the very dark blue shirt, dark blue pants, and faded green boots with very dark blackish blue tips. However, the belt now has a grey buckle and has gone completely faded green to go with the boots this time. The jacket has disappeared compared to the dialogue version, and the sword is still nowhere to be seen, with the chest belt adapted to the new waist belt here, since the two belts match in the original color scheme.

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Kanzenban would-be version N°1.
This one is an appearance exclusive to the anime, but it's likely his original outfit, from which he has taken out the sleeve, so it requires a simple application of the Kanzenban changes.

VEGETA:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) First anime version.
A version that surprised (or even shocked?) a lot of fans who were used to the regular Vegeta. Those unusual colors were likely chosen by the staff before they knew what Toriyama wanted his character to look like. Orange and light green for the armor, orange gloves and boots (slightly lighter than the orange from the armor) and more importantly, orangy red hair! This would be changed in future episodes, and would push the anime staff to redraw a whole scene of Kai just to replace those colors by the regular version we all know.

ImageImageImage
ImageImage
1) Anime / Original Manga version.
2) Super Butoden 2 in-game version.
Vegeta's suit becoming black is a classic in video games, but for this one, the armor and boot tips - usually yellow - switch to a "dark orangy going brown" tone as well.
3) Raging Blast 2 version.
The DLC costume for this game shows Vegeta wearing Bardack's armor, along with a slightly darker, more desaturated blue suit to go with it.
4) Zenkai Battle Royale version N°1.
One of the alternative costume is leaf green.
5) Zenkai Battle Royale version N°2.
One of the alternative costume is dark/desaturated red.

ImageImageImageImage
1+2) Anime version.
3+4) Kanzenban version.
Vegeta wears way darker clothes during the Majin Boo saga. It still has a hint of blue, but it's so hard to perceive that you might actually need to compare it to the hair color to notice it's not totally black. Note that Vegeta's outfit is supposed to be a one-part outfit in the manga, but I couldn't properly remove the separation from the picture.

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Budokai 3 version.
The alternative version for this game shows a brownish fur, very bright grey gloves, light purple jeans, blue belt.

VEGETTO:

ImageImageImageImage
1+2) Anime version.
3+4) Kanzenban would-be version. This is only a guess because we don't know how Toriyama saw the original Vegetto and if it was him that gave the instructions to have the outer-clothes Vegeta-colored and the inner-clothes Goku-colored. However, if it is the case, and if we apply the Kanzenban updates of Vegeta and the Potalas, this is what Vegetto looks like now. A noticeable difference with the anime version is that in the manga pages, Vegetto's belt is the same color as his undershirt, which I like because it makes more of a balance between Goku and Vegeta.

VIDEL:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Tankobon 36 version. Videl sports a blue top over a white T-shirt. Note that though the outfit is the same, she has her first hairstyle in the original artwork, while she appears with short hair on this picture.

WEREMAN:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Full-Color Manga version. The fur turns pretty much grey (little blue tint remaining), and the costume turns into a very dark red one.

YAMCHA:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Ultimate Butoden version. Desaturated blue-almost-indigo for this alternative version for a game.

YI SHENRON:

ImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Budokai 3 version. The alternative outfit for this game shows a dark grey Yi Shenron with red parts, and normal-looking Dragon Balls on his chest, as well as a subtle indigo tint to the horns.

ZABON:

ImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Chapter 255 version (with Kanzenban touch).
Zabon appears with a totally white skin, wears dark blue sleeves and brighter blue jewels and eyes. He also has a shade of green that goes more towards a yellow tint, being somehow "leaf green". The armor has a slightly different tint as well. Note that the cape does not appear and was left as is in the render above. Nor does the scouter, which is depicted as blue here based on the Kanzenban covers showing they do exist as blue, and given that Zabon seems to have a fondness for that color in that version.
3) Daizenshuu 150 version.
This version has an almost white skin with a subtle tint of blue that is only visible through shadows (comparing the shadows of the skin to the shadows of the white armor helps to perceive that hint of a blue tint). The sleeves and eyes are purple this time, but we don't see the panties and can't know how they would be affected by the overall color scheme. The hair have a more vibrant shade of green in that artwork, going more towards the blue side than the yellow one. The cape does not appear on the artwork. Nor does the scouter, which is based on the dark blue scouter worn by Dodoria in the very same illustration for the render above (it is likely that Zabon would have the same since he seems to like purple/blue accessories/clothes).
4) Ultimate Battle 22 version.
A simple switch between the blue and pink/purple elements is enough sometimes to create an alternative appearance for a game.
5) Shin Butoden version.
After seeing Bulma, Zabon was inspired by the unusual beauty of purple hair: he chose that he would rather have the greenish tint on his armor instead of his hair and went for purple all over: hair, panties, cape... As always with 2D games, the scouter does not appear.
6) Ultimate Butoden version.
Red on Zabon, that's not something you see everyday. Namely, the sleeves are purple, but the cape and legs and panties are very red, although tending towards pink a little.

ZANGYA:

ImageImageImage
1) Anime version.
2) Toriyama version.
In the original designs submitted by Toriyama, Zangya - much like the rest of the Bojack group - had a green skin and orangy red hair, along with a yellowish tint for her pants. Her skirt is also noticeably going more pink than the anime version.
3) Super Butoden 2 version.
Most girls like to try going blonde at some point in their lives, and aliens are no exception. Very blond hair, absolutely pink skirt, and a blue skin, how do you like Zangya's "girlier" look?

In the manga, isn't Vegeta's hair black instead of brown, like in the anime?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Excelent work as always! Can't wait to see what's next. It’s great to see the different super saiyan colours.

You're right, I did modify his hair to black for some pictures like the Kanzenban ones, but I totally forgot about that this time! :o
I'll correct this very soon, separating anime and manga versions! :wink:

Okay buddy, don't forget there was a whole other topic with tons of manga colours, you and I both posted there.
Also, if you want, I'll bite the bullet and scavenge around Super Dragon Ball Z to see what colours I'll find. From what I can remember there are tons of them but I might have to unlock them. Hard game to unlock stuff though.

That would be great, cause I don't have the game, but don't push yourself too hard (especially if it takes a lot of time and efforts to unlock a certain thing just to end up seeing one more picture here!!), there's no hurry! 8)

There's still plenty of pictures in the first Daizenshuu for upcoming updates, plus the missing ones from Budokai 3 you've gathered! So don't take it like some homework: don't push yourself too hard, don't force yourself to play for hours and hours just for that purpose and feel free to take it slow, take a break or stop whenever you're fed up with it! :wink:
I do it myself, going from one resource to another when I feel like it and taking my time as you noticed! 8)

Well on GameFAQs there's a description of each colour and it seems I have to unlock them one by one and there's 7 of them for each character sooo... I don't know dude.

Maybe you mean on the full color pages? It's possible, on the Daizenshuu page, his hair seem more orangy on those color pages than on the special chapter about Trunks' future which is shown just below on the same page.
It's kinda hard to tell if it's just an effect of hair shadows (for example, this picture here could be considered yellow with orangy shadows as much as orange with yellow highlights). I guess we'll have to check other artworks to see if it's not just Toriyama's colors going from yellow to orangy depending on the artwork, but still meant to be yellow...
I'll try to compare with other artworks and have that orange hint displayed as a separate "manga version" if need be.

No problem, just do as you see fit. What you already have unlocked should be enough, and there are also many other games to explore instead of that one.
As I said, I have enough material accessible for quite a number of future updates. So if you happen to find other color schemes, that's cool, but it's totally optionnal! 8)

No, it's clearly orange in the manga:

Anyway, you seems to have missed a lot of the colorings from Toriyama, maybe these threads will help you:

Updated the Dropbox folder with a few new colours from Super DBZ: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/78ntq5dgb6117yo/P1FW87LbvK
Found a quick way to get the Dragon Balls, am up to four colours for Cell, will update the folder from time to time.

You can also use this as reference since my photos might be hard to fully see the colours: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/932665-supe ... faqs/44151

I feel like Karkat, I wish I could argue with my past self who didn't like this game. I'm really having a good time and it doesn't feel as hard as it felt back then. Bought the game, played it for a day and offered it to Iced. Since he loves competitive fighting games, he loved this one but now has moved to a PS3 and barely plays it any more. Now he lent me the game back and I guess we came full circle or something. Fun times.

Thanks, guys! :thumbup:
With all of that, I already have like 50 versions to reproduce, so take your time! :D

I'll soon separate Future Trunks into his anime and manga versions (in the meantime, I've taken out the "manga" mention to just leave "anime version").
I don't have the few possible full-color pages that might directly follow this one, so I'm not sure if his eyes are still green or not. If I don't find any evidence in the topics, I'll assume they're green and say something like "they're likely still green, but we can't be 100% sure since the chapter switches to limited palette before his irises are back".

Kinda covering the "very special" versions of characters you guys mentionned.

C-18:

ImageImage
1) Anime / Manga version.
2) 2012 Toriyama would-be version. While conceiving character designs for Battle of Gods, Toriyama admitedly forgot C-18's original hair color. Without references to his past works, he apparently envisionned C-18 as having purple hair in 2012. Maybe he was inspired by that other, quite famous female android he had drawn in the past?
o.O Where did you hear that 2012 story?
Also known as "GeniDude" and "NerdyNorwegian"!

I'm not sure if hotlinking is explicitly against the rules here, but it's generally best not to, because it eats up a site's bandwidth like you wouldn't believe.

In case you don't know what "hotlinking" is, it's when you place image tags ( ) around the link directly to the image. Instead, you should use an image hosting site, like photobucket, which are usually free.
