Caught a couple of coloring inconsistencies while making these previews. The first image shows Evil Boo (Gohan absorbed) attacking Goku, but for two panels his blue shirt was colored black like Goten's. The second and third images show that Boo's Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack had red eyes at first, something I thought was cool, but by the next page they're changed to your standard white ghost eye.

Vegetto's belt is blue? Nonsense.

Because it's white in black and white pages (so it already doesn't match Goku's belt color) and nothing indicates that its color should be any different from the undershirt. Goku's undershirt is of the same color as his belt. They just copied it from the anime only because Vegetto was never colored by Toriyama.

Never noticed it was white in the manga.

You might as well argue that Goku's skin should be colored orange. It's white in the manga too!

Actually, maybe that's where Goku's GT tan comes from.

Well, when one belt is colored black and another belt of the same style is left in white, we kind of have to assume that they aren't meant to be exactly the same color, right?

Been mentioned before, the belt doesn't have to be orange just because it's the same color as the undershirt. There are various times where Toriyama inks things in based on how the image would look in black and white, despite his colored images having two colors that would normally be inked in next to each other.

Maybe, but there's also a clear logistical problem in making Vegetto's belt white when his pants and overshirt are black. It wouldn't stand out at all. Even if Toriyama intended Vegetto's belt to be the same color as Goku's, he probably wouldn't black it in for black and white artwork for that reason.

I mean, I wouldn't have cared if they made his belt orange or some other color here, I'm just saying the color they went with is fine. Obviously there's a limit to how well you can distinguish between different colors in black and white; expecting people with access to a full color palette to stick to a strict "white=these colors, black=these colors" scheme is silly.  

Just think of the belt as looking black in contrast to the light colors of Goku's dougi, but looking white in contrast to Vegetto's darker dougi. In full color you can just have it be light blue the whole time, but in black and white things aren't so simple.

Vegetto's colors aren't totally accurate with Vegeta either. His outer gi is a darker shade of blue. We could say that the undershirt is from Goku, the belt, boots and gloves from Vegeta. The gi is no-ones :lol:

If Goku's "black" outfit (black in the black & white) could be colored light orange in the original manga, then I don't see the issue with Vegetto's belt.
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.

Well, this helps with one thing I've always wondered about. Judging from the color on the ground, that panel that shows Fat Buu and Kaioshin takes place on Earth, showing the recent events rather than when he encountered Buu in the past.

But didn't the location where Boo beat up Kaioshin take place on an area without grass? So that panel can't be referring to that.

I was REEEEEEAAAALLLLY hoping they would have given him white pants here. I could have lived with the undershirt, unlike the first time he had the cape, but the purple pants too...? Bah.

I always thought that Boo's pants were white the first time because Boo only lost the fusion, and purple the next time because he completely lost both Goten and Trunks, making him more Piccolo.
