When you get vol. 42, I would like to know if Oob's eyes turn red when he gets angry, like they do in the original manga.Tyro wrote:But this is getting a tad monotonous. Before I start breaking thing downs chapter-by-chapter at the 23rd TB is there anything else of interest you guys want to see? (I don't have volumes 42 and 35 yet, but soon!)

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.

Whoops, after the tournament. Yes, all instances are him with a white SS aura except when he's blasting Boo's ball which had a yellow outline (but different from SS2), like you'd expect.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Every instance after the tournament, during the Babidi & Z-Sword stuff.

That's grey/gray? Looks about Pinkish-Gray to me. Dead Pink is the right term. So Can't we say that it's a mixture?Tyro wrote:Unfortunately it seems that the Full Color manga chose to color Pure Evil Majin Boo grey instead of Toriyama's intended pink, like the rest of the Boos.Spoiler:
I am justifying bullshit? Really? All I said was that it was Dead Pink. Not Grey. I never said it was right or wrong. So I didn't justify anything. So please don't accuse me of justifying ANYTHING please. Also I've found out the topic of Boo skin came about already.hleV wrote:So we have Boo colored the same for every form of his in a limited color palette, and there's no indication whatsoever that Pure Evil Boo is supposed to have a different shade of pink, yet it's completely fine to alter it just for the heck of it? Stop trying to justify bullshit, please.

Lighter than the anime? Yep. Still grey? Yep.Spoiler:

Tyro wrote:Here's a comparison of Full Color Mr. Boo, Pure Evil Boo, and your shot of Pure Evil Boo in the anime.
No doubt about it, it's different than the anime. Definitely closer to pink, but it's still unsatisfying that he's not pink like the other Boos.
DBZGTKOSDH wrote:To play devil's advocate, we never saw Pure Evil Boo in pink color like the other Boo's.
rereboy wrote:I'm satisfied with that color for Pure Evil Buu. Its a nice compromise between pink and grey. Despite not being really grey like in the anime, it still manages to function as an indicator that this Buu is supposed to be the opposite of Good Buu even in color, while still having just enough pink in his color to be a Buu. Couldn't have asked for a better result, really.
Cold Skin wrote:I like the idea of a faded pink.
I think it's meant to be related to his "sick" appearance. While Mr. Boo is fat and seems like some "enjoying life" kind of guy even with his cheery bright pink color, Evil Boo is terribly skinny and a very pale pink, making you feel more uncomfortable like a very ill version of Boo, a "malfunction" of the other Boo or something like that. So in the end, I think it's nice that he's still pink, but a very "sick" pale pink to go with his sick, gloomy appearance.
rereboy wrote:With the limited colors of those images on Daizenshuu, it would be impossible to reproduce light pink, even if that was what Toriyama had in mind. Heck, even the pink of the anime and the pink of Buu used in other illustrations is lighter than the color used in Daizenshuu, since it looks almost red.
